title: Installing Moodle - failed to load cURL php extension
body: <p>I know that there are lot of questions regarding this issue, but believe me , I've tried a bunch of solutions offered, but none of them worked for me.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the list of software I've used (this is what I've been asked to use)</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>httpd-2.2.31-win32</li>
  <li>php 5.4.45-Win32-VC9-x86 thread safe</li>
  <li>mysql 5.6.11.0msi</li>
  <li>moodle 2.8.10</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>After first introduction steps into moodle installation , where everything passed smoothly,I’ve encountered the problem shown on the capture.

  <p>List of things I've tried :
   - I’ve checked if <code>php_curl.dll</code> exist in ext file , it does.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>I’ve checked if line <code>;extension=php_curl.dll</code> is uncommented , it was.</p></li>
  <li><p>Then I’ve took <code>icudt49.dll, icuin49.dll and icuuc49.dll</code> files and paste them inside Apache bin directory, restart apache and still nothing.</p></li>
  <li><p>I read many posts, most mention copying 3 files 
  into C:\Windows\system32 or C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder</p>
  
  <pre><code>  - php_curl.dll
  
    - libeay32.dll
  
    - ssleay32.dll , again nothing.
  </code></pre></li>
  <li>Then found fixed curl extensions , tried with that , again nothing.</li>
  <li>Tried everything found here <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13021536/how-to-enable-curl-in-wamp-server">How to enable curl in Wamp server</a>.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Is there anyone who can help ?
  Thank You.</p>
