Installing Curl

[andrewsmd]

Our php server runs on a windows server 2000 machine. We have a version greater than 5 and I can see the php_curl.dll file in our ext folder. However, in the phpinfo() link there is no mention of curl. Can anyone help me with the install I have looked everywhere on the net and I am lost. Also, my php.ini file had no
[PHP_CURL]
extension=php_curl.dll
in it so I added it but to no use.

Did you restart your server software after you made the changes?

[andrewsmd]

No, is there a way to do that without restarting the whole machine because our entire site runs on it.

[cameraman]

You can restart just Apache via httpd -k restart, but that's going to affect the entire site.

And restarting Apache would take only a couple of seconds

[andrewsmd]

Our site is actually all asp (my boss likes it I hate it) so shutting down the PHP server will only affect the things I use. The other thing I don't know is, our site has all of the apache stuff, but none of those restart commands work because I've already tried them. Thanks for all of your help I think I'm just screwed. For the record, I hate working on a server that I don't get to set up.
