# Curl Error Message

 * Hello: I just downloaded your plugin and I am excited to use it. I uploaded it
   on my wordpress multisite install. When I add a keyword I get this error message:
 * cURL error number:6
    cURL error:Couldn’t resolve host ‘search’
 * I read another thread that Curl needed to be added so I requested this from Hostgator
   and here was their response:
 * By default we do not enable this program unless a customer has requested it.
 * However, we gone ahead and enabled cURL, GET, wget, and lynx for the username“
   randith” on your server with [http://wpwbb.com](http://wpwbb.com):
 * $ getenable wpwbb.com gator1731
    [*] randith is now added to the get-users group.
 * I am not technical savvy and tried to see if I could figure this out, but am 
   lost. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 * I’m having the same issue and definitely have fsockopen and cURL enabled. Any
   suggestions?
 * Furthemore the autosave for country selection does not work (I can see a js error
   popup in the console). It might be worth using a different method to save this
   as appose to AJAX, for both UI (I was looking for one for a while) and to make
   it a bit more robust.
 * I quite like the potential of this plugin, and would happily pay to improve it,
   it’s just a shame I can’t get the thing to work presently.

 * I find I cannot add Keywords. No error is shown on screen but /var/log/apache2/
   wordpress-error.log shows the following:

 * okay, so I needed php5-curl installed.
 *     ```
       apt-get install php5-curl
       /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
       ```
   
 * This should be in the installation instructions.
