Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Hello Ken! I've been going through the new 5.x-3.0rc1 version and have come across my first issue when trying to access the Profile sub-tab in MySite admin. When I select that sub-tab, I receive a white blank screen and the following error shows up in the error_log. If I turn off the Online Status Indicator module, I'm able to access the Profile aub-tab without issue. If I remember correctly, there was some snippet you gave me to get the Online Status Indicator module to show up as a selection in the MySite Profile sub-tab. I just assumed you included that in this latest release. Should I hunt down that change again or is this something different?
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/drupal/modules/onlinestatus/onlinestatus.module on line 419, referer: http://www.ithinkworks.com/drupal/admin/settings/mysite/type/node

agentrickardThis is not a MySite bug. It just occurs when using OnlineStatus on a MySite-generated page.
curl_init() is a PHP function. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-init.php
The CURL library is typically compiled into PHP, but it is an optional module. Your server obviously doesn't have that library installed. See http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php
You likely need to recompile PHP, and I can't help you with that.
This is a documented requirement of the OnlineStatus module. http://drupal.org/project/onlinestatus
I'm moving this to the OnlineStatus issue queue, but you probably will get the same answer.

WISEOZ commentedRight again! Looks like we had recompiled PHP without CURL at one point. It's back now!

agentrickardYou could argue that CURL should be replaced by http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_http_request/5.
But I doubt the developer wants to do so.
