 * Hi,
 * Contact your hosting provider and ask them to enable PHP cURL with SSL support
   for your account. Minimum requirements are [listed here](https://deconf.com/faq-about-google-analytics-dashboard-for-wordpress/).

 * Hi Alin,
 * Thanks for your reply. My website has cURL enabled. Is there a specific version
   I need to ask for?
 * This is what’s installed currently:

 * Hi Alin
 * I still get the same authentication problem – blank page when I try to save google
   code for plugin.
 * This is what my php -i returns, cURL enabled with SSL

   => Yes CharConv => No Debug => No GSS-Negotiate => Yes IDN => Yes IPv6 => Yes
   krb4 => No Largefile => Yes libz => Yes NTLM => Yes NTLMWB => Yes SPNEGO => No

   telnet, tftp Host => x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu SSL Version => NSS/3.21 Basic ECC
   ZLib Version => 1.2.7 libSSH Version => libssh2/1.4.3
 * Testpage returns results fine:
    <?php
 * $ch = curl_init(‘[https://www.google.co.uk&#8217](https://www.google.co.uk&#8217););
   
   curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch);
 * Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the above details. Can you run and post the results of this php script:
 *     ```
       if (function_exists('curl_version') && function_exists('curl_exec') ){
       	echo "cURL: OK";
       } else {
       	echo "cURL: NOK";
       }
   
       if  (isset($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']) && strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'Google App Engine') !== false) {
           echo "Google App Engine: Yes";
       } else {
           echo "Google App Engine: No";
       }
       ```

 * Hi Alin,
 * I must apologise, it’s all my providers fault!
    They’ve been testing PHP run-
   time, not PHP Apache Module. cURL in PHP apache module wasn’t present; now that
   it is, authentication works exactly as it should.
 * I apologise again for wasting your time like this.
 * Otherwise, an excellent plug in:)!
