Broken CURL on Windows 2008 R2 Server

Question

I recently ran into an issue with Stripe.com requiring TLS 1.2 for their API.

I attempted to upgrade OpenSSL on the server following the below steps, but afterwards when attempting to run curl_version() , I get this error:

Call to undefined function curl_version()

However, before I attempted this update, CURL was working fine (except for the TLS issue).

This is the process that I followed:

I downloaded the OpenSSL binaries here: https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/openssl-1.0.2j-x64_86-win64.zip

Stopped IIS Copied libeay32.dll & ssleay32.dll to the PHP folder (where the older versions were located)

Restarted IIS

My System is:

OS: Windows 2008 RS2 64bit

PHP Version: 5.3.8

I was hoping I didn't need to compile PHP and reinstall a new version right now.

I appreciate your assistance

Thank You.

Answer 1

After many various attempts, I gave up and just installed a newer version of PHP. I forgot that IIS can have multiple versions of PHP installed, so this turned out to be the best bet and frankly the easiest solution for me.
