I'm having quite some troubles hosting my Magento website. I've always ran websites (Joomla, Wordpress) on shared hosting. However, for this Magento website they advised a VPS.

After quite some work (PHP memory size was too low, etc.) the website does load, but I am unable to access the admin area:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_setopt() in /var/www/elly/lib/Varien/Http/Adapter/Curl.php on line 87 Call Stack: 0.0001 637816 1. {main}() /var/www/elly/index.php:0 0.0014 708040 2. Mage::run() /var/www/elly/index.php:87 0.0032

Can anyone help me out solving this?

I've got another question: After adding a article to my shopping list, pages won't load anymore. Look for an example on: http://bit.ly/1cvXGKa

E.g.: Add an article from this page (http://bit.ly/HlmNAZ) by hovering it and clicking on 'In winkelwagen'.

Could someone help me out with this?

  • Considering you mentioned you have always used shared hosting in the past, I would highly suggest you not use a VPS and rather head over to Nexcess and signup for one of their Magento Optimized shared hosting plans. Unless you're up for a major challenge… this is only the tip of the iceberg of things you'll run into self-administering being both new to Magento and VPS administration. – davidalger Oct 30 '13 at 15:50
  • Or try Byte, it's a Dutch Magento hoster. They will set everything up for you and will make sure hosting wise your shop will be ready to go – Sander Mangel Nov 02 '13 at 18:32

Seems there's no curl installed on your server. Check your phpinfo() for curl. If not present, you or your provider can enable it in the PHP config:

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini (or similar)

enable extension:

extension=curl.so

I had same issue just install curl and restart your ngix or apache and php5

sudo apt-get install php5-curl
sudo service php5-fpm restart

You need to enable the curl extension for PHP.

  • Thanks Marius. I certainly am a 'noob' in this.

    I connected through Terminal and succesfully entered these commands: apt-get update apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl

    When I check, I'll get: "php5-curl is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded."

    I guess it is installed now, but I still get the same error. Will I need to enable it somewhere?

  • hi, you may check your php.ini and add it there. See my updated answer – Anna Völkl Oct 30 '13 at 15:56
