curl, linux, php
Solution
Type in console as root:
apt-get update && apt-get install php5-curl
or with sudo:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install php5-curl
Sorry I missread.
1st, check your DNS config and if you can ping any host at all,
ping google.com
ping zm.archive.ubuntu.com
If it does not work, check `/etc/resolv.conf` or `/etc/network/resolv.conf`, if not, change your apt-source to a different one.
/etc/apt/sources.list
Mirrors: http://www.debian.org/mirror/list
You should not use Ubuntu sources on Debian and vice versa.

How do I install PHP cURL on Linux Debian? I tried the following code and got the error below ``` apt-get update apt-get install curl libcurl3 php5-curl ``` Error: ``` W: Failed to fetch http://zm.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/universe/binary-i386/Packages Something wicked happened resolving 'zm.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) W: Failed to fetch http://zm.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages Something wicked happened resolving 'zm.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) W: Failed to fetch http://zm.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/main/i18n/Translation-en_US Something wicked happened resolving 'zm.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) W: Failed to fetch http://zm.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/main/i18n/Translation-en Something wicked happened resolving 'zm.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) W: Failed to fetch http://zm.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/multiverse/i18n/Translation-en_US Something wicked happened resolving 'zm.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) W: Failed to fetch http://zm.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/multiverse/i18n/Translation-en Something wicked happened resolving 'zm.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) W: Failed to fetch http://zm.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/restricted/i18n/Translation-en_US Something wicked happened resolving 'zm.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) W: Failed to fetch http://zm.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/restricted/i18n/Translation-en Something wicked happened resolving 'zm.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) W: Failed to fetch http://zm.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/universe/i18n/Translation-en_US Something wicked happened resolving 'zm.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) W: Failed to fetch http://zm.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/universe/i18n/Translation-en Something wicked happened resolving 'zm.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. ``` I resolved this issue. My Linux box was unable to browse and resolve hosts names. After adding appropriate roots, the issue was resolved.
