Hello!

So I am not sure exactly what is happening on your server, but it appears to be using a very old version, as even our older version we just upgraded to was version 7.79.1.

If you run the following command:
/opt/cpanel/libcurl/bin/curl -V

you should see something like this:

curl 7.80.0 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.80.0 OpenSSL/1.1.1l zlib/1.2.7 brotli/1.0.9 libssh2/1.8.0 nghttp2/1.46.0
Release-Date: 2021-11-10
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher gophers http https imap imaps mqtt pop3 pop3s rtsp scp sftp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: alt-svc AsynchDNS brotli GSS-API HSTS HTTP2 HTTPS-proxy IPv6 Kerberos Largefile libz NTLM NTLM_WB SPNEGO SSL TLS-SRP UnixSockets

Your versions release version being from 2018 (Release-Date: 2018-09-05) makes me think something isn't updating correctly and hasn't been in some time.

If you can open a ticket with our Technical Support Team they will be able to dig in further and see what is going on.

I have a VPS and phpinfo shows:


and:

[root@vps2 ~]# /opt/cpanel/libcurl/bin/curl -V
-bash: /opt/cpanel/libcurl/bin/curl: No such file or directory
[root@vps2 ~]#

AlmaLinux v8.5.0 kvm [vps2] v100.0.5

Hello,

It appears you are indeed using the Almalinux system version, supplied here:

https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8.5/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/curl-7.61.1-22.el8.x86_64.rpm

This is because EasyApache4 for CentOS8/AlmaLinux8 does not ship cURL and instead uses the upstream/repo version. You will need to wait for upstream to update their libcurl. We've documented the packages that we stopped shipping in C8/Alma8 here:
