WAMP - Curl is not working

[Denkster]

Dear friends,

Tonight I did a fresh install of 1.0.1.1 an d then 1.0.1.2 on my WAMP64 local server with PHP 7.3.7 and started checking for errors.

When selecting in admin the tools -> security checks, I got these errors:

( ! ) Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in C:\wamp64\www\htdoc3\winkel\admin\includes\modules\security_check\extended\admin_backup_directory_listing.php on line 46
( ! ) Error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in C:\wamp64\www\htdoc3\winkel\admin\includes\modules\security_check\extended\admin_backup_directory_listing.php on line 46
Call Stack
#	Time	Memory	Function	Location
1	0.0000	410504	{main}( )	...\security_checks.php:0
2	0.0200	783064	securityCheckExtended_admin_backup_directory_listing->pass( )	...\security_checks.php:87
3	0.0200	783144	securityCheckExtended_admin_backup_directory_listing->getHttpRequest( )	...\admin_backup_directory_listing.php:26

Is this due to something I missed, or did wrong, or is it the Windows environment, or ..?

Best regards

Can you do a Admin -> Tools -> Server Info ?

Scroll down about 1/4 of the way. What does it say about cURL ?

cURL	Sterling Hughes 

Is that not correct?

Aha! I see. Thank you!!

No that section is missing in my setup... 😕

No idea how to get it in.. 😯

Actually, the WAMP tray menu tells me that the cURL extension for php is installed!

But it is not reported active in the server settings overview. How is that possible..?

To enable Curl in WAMP (From phpmind.com)

1) Close WAMP (if running)
2) Navigate to WAMP\bin\php\(your version of php)\
3) edit php.ini
4) Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
5) Navigate to WAMP\bin\Apache\(your version of apache)\bin\
6) edit php.ini
7) Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
8 ) Save both
9) Restart WAMP

I tried that several Times.

All php.ini all apache.ini files that I could find have the 

extension=php_curl.dll

It did not resolve the problems.

I even tried extension=curl, (new convention in WAMP). Did not work either. I am stuck.
