Hi all
I’m trying to install a few new plugins on my Wordpress site and one of them complains about needing “the CURL PHP extension”.
I tried installing php5-curl on my LEMP stack but it resulted in a Bad Gateway error on my site; possibly because the /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf was modified in the process. This didn’t fix even when I copied over the old version of this file.
Does anyone know what I need to install on a LEMP stack and the steps for the same?
Thanks!

Hi, I just ran into practically the same in terms of condition and environment problem. However the fix was pretty easy. First of all, I installed curl module through command line (SSH) on my Ubuntu 14.04 droplet:
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
Secondly, I restarted PHP service in order to catch up new modules:
service php5-fpm restart
And that’s it! Since very this moment plugin works like a charm. Hope it helps! :)
