Ubuntu server WordPress connection error on plugins and themes

I have a Ubuntu 18.04 server, with WordPress installed. Upon finishing the installation, I have connection error in the plugins page. At first it was only an error message from plugin-install.php. After rebooting, 2 more error message occurred as shown below and I could not ping anything from my server. (100% packet loss with anything I pinged.) I tried editing the /ect/hosts file, and I tried to modify php.ini file (could not find extension=curl.so) but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Attached is the log directory for reference:

The faillog is only a series of ^@ code in it.

Can you check the `/var/log/apche2/error` log file for your site and see if there’s a more specific error message? There’s not enough to work with based on the generic message you’ve shared.

I am using Nginx, so I don't have apache2 installed

Regardless, there should be a log file of some sort with something specific describing the error. If there is no log, then any suggested solutions would be little more than wild guesses that will likely result in little more than wasted time

I have attached an image of the log directory, maybe it might help in deciding which file to check?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
