PHP plugin cURL not working when running Apache as service

[jant90]

I enabled the PHP cURL module and it works fine when I start Apache from UniController.exe, but I installed Apache as service and then the cURL plugin is no longer loaded. If I stop the service and run Apache from UniController again cURL is loaded just fine. So it's not a problem on my side with the configuration files (that are changed by the service installer) but I can't figure out where to fix it.

 

So, how do I fix this?

 

I'm running Uniform Server ZeroXII with PHP 7.0.2 but this problem was already present on PHP 7.0.0 (updating didn't change anything).

 

Thanks.

Same issue using ZeroXIII 13.0.2 with PHP 7.0.12, UniService v. 2.2.0

 

This is the error I find in Apache logs:

 

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '***/UniServerZ/core/php70/extensions\\php_curl.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

 

After reading http://forum.uniformserver.com/index.php?showtopic=3091 I added my php extensions path to environmental variables and now it works, but I am not sure why, I mean how other extensions are loaded and php_curl.dll is failing when all extensions are located in same folder...
