Last week I was installing “Magento” on XAMPP . Then I realized that cURL was disabled by default in XAMPP. I changed “\apache\php\php.ini” and uncommented the line for cURL extension but still not working. Finally I made it working by editing couple of “ini” files. I had listed these ini’s below.
\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini \xampp\apache\php\php5.ini \xampp\apache\php\php.ini \xampp\apache\php\php\php4.ini (to switch PHP version)
To enable cURL you need to uncomment the below line
;extension=php_curl.dllto
extension=php_curl.dll
