  Answers to common questions
The most common cause of problems is that cURL, MySQL or the GD graphics libraries were not properly installed. You can verify if these libraries are installed by execuring a phpinfo(); command and examining the output, which will indicate all installed external libraries.

Please note, do not use LIB_http if you are also using the “PECL pecl_http” library. Simulteneously using LIB_http.php and the PECL pecl_http library will create errors caused by redundant function names, for example: http_get().
