I looked in /etc/php5 and I don't see a mods-enabled folder? I do see curl.ini linked in /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/ and /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/.

Sorry I didn't see this until now. I had that same issue, and just went ahead and created a mods-enabled folder.

<p>I'm in the process of installing Craft on my Ubuntu 14.04 server and ran into an issue.</p>

<p>When I run the installer at <a href="http://example.com/admin" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/admin</a>, I get the "Can't run Craft" error message:</p>

<pre><code>Craft requires cURL in order to run
</code></pre>

<p>I have these packages installed using sudo apt-get install:</p>

<pre><code>curl
libcurl3
libcurl3-dev
php5-curl
</code></pre>

<p>No clue what's going on. Could be a configuration issue? or are my packages not properly installed?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

Derp... I was able to install it locally on a Ubuntu 14.04 vagrant instance. Must be something wrong with Ubuntu on my VPS.
