make sure that the `php.ini` file you are trying to open is from `/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini` there are other `php.ini` for different configurations — Gururaju Hiddenx, Mar 10 '15 at 09:45

I'm unsure of what your problem really is..

Try this, I'm sure this WORKS.

To purge all curl and apache2 packages

sudo apt-get purge curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl apache2

To Install curl and apache2

sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl apache2

Restart apache2

sudo service apache2 restart

After restarting your web-server, go to /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini search for ;extension=php_curl.dll and remove the ; (uncomment) and save the file, restart apache2 sudo service apache2 restart again.

Everything should WORK fine now.

in php.ini there is no ";extension=php_curl.dll" to uncomment. after installation. i mentioned it in question. – Anoop Mar 11 '15 at 03:41
Did you purge the packages and install it back again? – Gururaju Hiddenx Mar 11 '15 at 03:46
