 * When I press “activate” on the plugin, it responds with:
 * “
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * The official Amazon Web Services SDK requires PHP 5.3.3+ and cURL 7.16.2+ compiled
   with OpenSSL and zlib. Your server currently has no PHP cURL library activated.
 * “
 * I am running this same plugin on other WP sites on the same server, so I don’t
   see what the issue is with our PHP version or cURL

 * I had this problem yesterday and to solve I just put “extension=curl.so” inside“
   php.ini” and restarted php.
