If you wanna check if php-curl extension is installed in your system, type on terminal
sudo php -m | grep "curl"
If the response from the code above is empty, the extension is not being loaded with php. Then you can install it with:
CentOS
yum install php-curl
Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
Back in 2003, I used to connect my computer on the my old 32′ TV, those huge and heavy TVs, to watch stuff from the internet, at that time, eMule was ruling the p2p community (can’t talk about USENET right? :} ). Then in 2008 I decided to build a better HTPC (Home Theater PC), a full dedicated computer connected to my TV, with good MotherBoard/VGA/SoundBoard, well, a good computer, with gaming capacities. It was good while it lasted, but you know, it was huge black box below my TV, bit noisy, but it did the job.
You know, everytime you want to install LAMP + phpmyadmin on Ubuntu, you can simply write on terminal:
sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server-5.0 php5 php5-mysql phpmyadmin
Ok, you are ready to go, but the only problem is that you can’t find the phpmyadmin folder when accessing http://localhost/ you can’t even see the folder at /var/www/ . So what you should do is:
sudo ln -sf /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /var/www/phpmyadmin
It will link the phpmyadmin folder from /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ to /var/www/phpmyadmin
now try going to http://localhost/phpmyadmin and you are good to go! 🙂
