I want to check curl if it is enabled in cPanel or not. My website has a function that works with curl but I am doubiting it is not enabled on my hosting. Is there a way to check this?
Make a PHP info file. Open a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++. Change the file name to i.php, and add the below code into that file.
Code:
<?php
// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();
?>
Upload it to your public_html and open it up in your web-browser.
Search for "curl" you should see something like this:
Obviously, it being enabled or disabled depends on if it is enabled or disabled.
It's easy enough to enable it, but you will need root access.
1. Login to WHM as the 'root' user.
2. In the Find box type easy.
3. Click EasyApache (Apache Update).
4. Leave your existing defaults, and then click Start customising based on the profile.
5. Leave your existing defaults, and then click Next Step.
6. Leave your existing defaults, and then click Next Step.
7. Leave your existing defaults, and then click Next Step.
8. Click Exhaustive Options List.
9. Click the curl options, and then click Save and build.
During this process, cPanel rebuilds Apache and PHP with the options selected. This process can take some time to complete and should not be interrupted as it can lead to problems on your server.
Or simply ask your host to enable it if you do not have root access.
