How should I enable Curl then?

From http://buzznol.blogspot.com/2008/12/install-curl-extension-for-php-in.html:

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

After installing libcurl you should restart the web server with one of the following commands,

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart OR sudo service apache2 restart
