 * I downloaded, activated and plugged in my Amazon info (access, secret, bucket).
   I hit have and it goes to blank screen. Go back to the page and plugin says “
   disabled”. Link below:

 * Found the first problem – curl was not installed. Now get the error that the 
   s3temp directory is not writable. I set it to 777. Any advice appreciated.
 * Thanks in advance, Jay

 * Thanks, this really helped me out. At first my reaction was “I’ve got curl installed.”
   Then I realized I didn’t have the php libcurl installed.
 * If you’re on Ubuntu you just want to sudo apt-get install php5-curl, then restart
   your webserver.
