PHP extension "curl" must be loaded while installing on xampp Windows 7

Question

I am installing Magento on xampp local server on Windows 7. How to fix this error "PHP extension "curl" must be loaded." ?

Solution 1

Uncomment the following line: extension=php_curl.dll in the php.ini configuration file of your XAMP.

The location of the php.ini file will be mostly

%XAMPP_HOME%/php/php.ini

Solution 2

Stop apache and restart it.

In the xampp control panel go to the SCM tab and then select apache server and stop it and again restart it.

Then, go to the installation page of magento and refresh the page.

The setting to change:

;extension=php_curl.dll 

to (semicolon removed)

extension=php_curl.dll
