Hi!
I'm trying to install Moodle 2.2.1 and I get this problem:
 

Any idea why?? I've used xampp, but I've done it before and didn't have any trouble installing moodle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Well you really want to try and getthose extra PHP extensions enabled in your XAMPP installation. I am sure there are people here who know how (I never use XAMPP myself), or you could ask at the XAMPP forums on how to enable the two extensions.

As a bit of side note though; I would say that the language presented in the error message above is not correct. If those two extensions are only marked as "should be installed" then surely the install "should" be able to continue without them?

Actually the problem is with the cUrl extension, the one marked in red color under the status column.

Ah! I missed that. Guess I did not scroll across to the right enough!

Open the php.ini file (in the xampp/php folder), locate the line:

;extension=php_curl.dll

and remove the semicolon:

extension=php_curl.dll
