Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init in php
For some reason, my workstation with Ubuntu 9.04, php5, apache2 and php5-curl install was giving me the curl package not installed message. Well, it turns out that for some reason, my default /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini had the extension directory pointing to /usr/lib/php5/ext/ while all the extensions were in /usr/lib/php5/20060613/
I was trying to figure out why I am not seeing curl.so in the ext directory after I have apt-get installed and removed php5-curl many times. Solution is usually very simple.
