Setting up, upgrading and maintaining a clean and functional Drupal/PHP Development environment is an art, and quite a piece of cake for the skilled sysadmin.

Here is the solution to one such error that might eat your brains out.
Almost all usable versions of Drupal - 6, 7 and 8 - use PECL uploadprogress to show file upload progress.

One of the Drupal sites that we got to work with had this issue. The original server that the site was hosted on did not have any issue. But the issue showed up when it was transferred over to a new server.
This usually happens when you are missing the php5-curl library.
On Ubuntu, just run the following commands in your terminal to fix this:
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
If not on Ubuntu, check for the correct alternative to 'apt-get' for your distribution.
