cURL is not enabled by default in your server's PHP configuration. Use the Apache updater (called "EasyApache") built into the cPanel Web Host Manager (WHM) to enable cURL.

To Enable cURL Using EasyApache

  1. Log in to WHM as the 'root' user.
  2. In the Find box type easy.
  3. Click EasyApache (Apache Update).
  4. Leave default, and then click Start customizing based on profile.
  5. Leave default, and then click Next Step.
  6. Leave default, and then click Next Step.
  7. Leave default, and then click Next Step.
  8. Click Exhaustive Options List.
  9. Click Curl, and then click Save and build.

During this process cPanel rebuilds Apache and PHP with the options selected. This process can take time to complete and should not be interrupted as it can lead to problems on your server.
