Wordpress Not Detecting Curl

Wordpress Not Detecting Curl

I have wordpress installed on ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. My Curl version is curl 7.58.0

when I enable the WooCommerce PayPal Checkout Gateway I get error message. "WooCommerce Gateway PayPal Checkout requires cURL to be installed on your server".

Any help on how I can get woocommerce to detect curl?

It sounds like you installed curl but not php-curl. Use apt to install it:

sudo apt install php-curl

Then restart apache:

systemctl restart apache2

...and you should be good to go.

Install the version specific php curl package.

If you are running PHP version: 7.3, install php7.3-curl.

apt install php7.3-curl
