<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">I have spent the best part of today trying to get an authentication method for the new Xerte install working but no joy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">I have revisited the LDAP and been trying to use the manual users but come up with errrors no matter how much tweaking and tinkering with settings I do.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">So, here is another question for the Xerte guys:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">I am trying to use DB as the authentication method which requires the users to be added manually via the management interface.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">I get the following error when entering the new users details:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Error when adding to the Db, do you have write permissions for MySQL?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Vicky</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I'll forward your request for email change to someone at Nottingham. I think they normally expect users to do this themselves but I can see why that wouldn't work for you at the moment.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In the meantime I would respond as follows:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">1. Does your colleague have direct access to the database and if so I would suggest checking the LDAP table directly to see if the values are being saved/stored.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">2. Does the install work ok apart from this e.g. if you switch to guest or static authentication?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">3. Near the top of config.php set development to true e.g. $development = true; Does that show any more useful error messages?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">4. Is this a local install or an install meant for organisation wide use? XAMPP really isn't the right solution for a production server - ideally Apache, PHP and MySQL should be installed separately.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Sorry I can't offer to provide further direct support on this even though it might be me who responds on the mailing list anyway. I'll post your original question to the list but you mention xerte-dev and xerteforteachers
neither of which are the correct location for this - are you also a member of <a href="http://lists.nottingham.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/xerte">
http://lists.nottingham.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/xerte</a> because that's where the question should be posted?</span></p>
