EasyPHP Devserver 17: The program can't be start because is libssh2.dll is missing

Question

I'm new in PHP development.
I was using Easyphp old version, now I upgraded to the new one but now an alert error message the program can't be start because is libssh2.dll missing. is displaying when trying to open it or when I enable cURL function.
I reinstalled the software but it's still not working. If I disable extension=php_curl.dll in php.ini then it's fine, but cURL is not working anymore.
enter image description here

What should I do? I tried everything, I wasted 3 nights.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

i also got this message when i started to use curl with EasyPHP-Devserver 17 and i follow these steps which actually solved the issue:

try to download the DLL from a secure website ,you can use this link : http://www.dll-found.com/download/l/libssh2.dll

then follow the steps:

• Free Download libssh2.dll to your computer.
• move the dll file to the system directory. (Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7) - C:\Windows\System32 (Windows NT/2000) - C:\WINNT\System32 (Windows 95/98/Me) - C:\Windows\System If you use a 64 bit version of Windows, The System Directory in
  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
• Reboot computer.

You can also simply copy the libssh2.dll file into the PHP directory which must look like

C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-Devserver-17\eds-binaries\php\php713vc14x86x171216121038

for PHP7

and

C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-Devserver-17\eds-binaries\php\php5630vc11x86x171216121038

for PHP 5.6

Answer 2

I think this is a much cleaner solution from stackoverflow:

PHP unable to load php_curl.dll extension

I had to reboot my windows 7 to get the changed path recognized by apache.
