Call to undefined function curl_init() (bug #1918)
-
I'm having the problem described in bug #1918, but that bug was rejected, saying to post to the Forum or mailing list, so here I am:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in /etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc on line 1457
I get this in the firware update section, and it appears to be adversely affecting installing new packages and dynamic DNS.
Does anyone have a workaround?
-
pfSense version?
Clean install or upgrade?
Do you have packages installed?Have you tried the suggestions in http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/1918 ?

That means you're missing or have broken part of PHP itself. Usually that only happens when people mess around with pkg_add and their own custom things, though it's possible an unstable package could have somehow broken php5-curl. Applying a firmware update to the version you're already running will fix PHP, though it'd be good to know how you got it to that point in the first place, if there's a specific package that breaks php5-curl it needs to be removed or fixed.

I'm thinking that my pkg_add of a newer curl broke things at some point. Comparing to an absolutely clean installation, I discovered the following difference:
diff php.ini php.ini.prev 27d26 < extension=curl.soFixing that fixed the issue.
