Question

The PHP cURL Extension is required for HTTPS...

I have a Ubuntu 18.4 LAMP with a simple site to input leads via a form to WSDL.

I have been using nuSOAP for the data.

On this server, I am stuck in a loop.

If cURL is disabled I have a working site, but this WSDL error…

wsdl error: Getting https://xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/services/dataservice.asmx?WSDL - HTTP ERROR: The PHP cURL Extension is required for HTTPS or NLTM. You will need to re-build or update your PHP to include cURL or change php.ini to load the PHP cURL extension.

With cURL enabled the server gives a 500 error.

Any thoughts on this?

Hello,

What I could suggest here is:

  • First check if you have the PHP cURL module installed:
php -m | grep -i curl

Another way to check that would be to add a PHP info file in your web root directory with the following content:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

And access that file via your browser and look for the cURL module.

  • If you don’t see the module installed, then you could install it with the following command:
sudo apt install php-curl

After that restart Apache:

systemctl restart apache2

If you are still getting the 500 error, I would recommend checking your error log for more information. Feel free to share the error here so that I could try to advise you further.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
