I am trying to make a simple video uploading site with Drupal. I am using the Video module. Let me tell you what I have done:

1) Just made a fresh installation of Drupal 7.7

2) Installed the Video module

3) Enabled the following

  • Video
  • Video UI

Now when I go to configuration tab I see the following error:

Exception: You must have the cURL extension enabled to use this library. in require_once() (line 22 of C:\wamp\www\freshdrupal\sites\all\modules\video\libraries\zencoder-php\Zencoder.php).

However I can still create a new content type and add field of video type. In that case when I add a content and upload video it gaves the same exception error as shown above.

Please help. If there is any substitute module for doing the same please tell me so. I need it urgently.

According to your error, you need to have CURL installed.

If you're running a mac: http://www.davidonzo.com/lng/en/post/986/php-mac-os-x-how-to-install-the-curl-library/

If you're running linux: type in the command line - "apt-get install curl"

If you're running WAMP on Windows: click the WAMP icon in task tray, then go to PHP > PHP Extensions > php_curl. Then restart apache.

  • Ok, so we've solved the error mentioned in the original post. Now you're going to have to set up FFMPEG like uwe999 suggested. Perhaps make a new post somewhere else on stack exchange? just because the original question was solved and this is kindof no longer a "drupal" problem but a "local windows environment zen configuration" problem.

for the video module you have to configure an encoder, either FFMPEG (for video encoding on your server) or Zencoder (video encoding service).

Make sure to follow all the steps to configure Zencoder correctly including postback (I believe the postback is by ftp).

  • this tutorial works perfectly with drupal 6. Not with drupal 7. FileField required module is not still up for drupal 7. CCK is only on dev release. Can you please tell me how i can solve the issue?
