PHP modules don't load after installing PHP 7 to my server


I had this exact problem.

I have just spent the last few hours trying to fix some stuff and in my haste I for some reason enabled this line:

extension:php_curl.dll

Obviously, that makes 0 sense, as someone said but the error message is weird after you do that. Running apt-get dist-upgrade DID NOT solve the problem.

So, after pulling out some more hair and re-reading this post a 100 times,I just commented it back out

;extension:php_curl.dll

and ya, problem solved.

So the OP must have done what I did... drink beer while working


running apt-get dist-upgrade fixed all the problems :)


On my case, to get curl working :

  • sudo apt-get install php-curl
  • comment curl extension : ;extension=php_curl.dll in php.ini (eg /etc/php/7.1/cli/php.ini)
