I’ve installed Kirby on a server to test.
Using the panel, and I’m getting “The CURL extension is required”.
Details:
Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)
curl -V

Any ideas?
Check with
php -m
if the PHP version your server is using is the same as which you are using on the command line. This will list the installed PHP modules.
But it is usually better to use phpinfo() to check if the curl extension is present and enabled.

It’s a little strange. My ubuntu server was originally php 7.2, but I installed 7.4 and told the server to use 7.4. So, I get the following outputs:
[PHP Modules]
bcmath
calendar

ctype

But php.info reports:
- PHP Version 7.4.18
- and cURL is listed in the modules
Kirby uses extension_loaded('curl') in /kirby/src/Cms/System.php #84 to check for the curl extension.
In phpinfo you should see this section with status enabled:
Hey everyone,
I installed the current starterkit and Apache 2.4.59, and my PHP version is PHP 8.2.18. However, I’m facing issues when trying to access the panel: “The panel cannot be installed”.
I’ve identified that the MB String and CURL extensions are required for the panel to function properly. I’ve already renamed the file php.ini-development to php.ini and uncommented the corresponding lines (extension=curl and extension=mbstring), but the issue persists.
Could anyone help me with resolving this problem?
Thanks in advance!
When installing the Panel on a remote server, you must allow installing Kirby on the server in your config, have you done this? panel | Kirby CMS
Indeed, I hadn’t done it, but the error persists. Here’s what my PHP looks like:
return [
'debug' => true,
'panel' => [
'install' => true
]
];
Does it just say “The panel cannot be installed” or is there more useful information?
It says :
"The panel cannot be installed
- The
MB String extension is required
- The
CURL extension is required"
Have you checked with phpinfo() if curl and mbstring are enabled? After making your changes in php.ini, did you restart the server?
Yes in phpinfo() I have “cURL support enabled” and "
Multibyte Support enabled"
Yes I also restart the server, nothing has changed
I finally installed and used Laravel, and now the panel is working.
Thans for your time !
