Ah nuts. I removed the enctype but to no avail.

This is rather annoying. I'll have a poke around.

Thanks for all your help Pat

I spent ages looking at why it might be, but I couldn't work out why.

However it now works here, so maybe it's a server / LDAP thing.

Try removing the enctype attribute from website_code/login_top

Ah, Is there anyway round this as if the users follow the password policy here (which I'm sure absolutely everyone does) then there should be special symbols in their passwords

Pound sign in one dollar sign in the other. I take it it doesn't play well with special symbols?

Thanks Patrick,

Now I can log in, some users can't. I am able to log in with a 3 of my users from AD, but my colleagues and myself can't log in. I can't see any reason for this all the users are in different ous so that's not a common factor.

Sorry to be the class dunce but this has got me puzzled.

Thanks,
Alex

Ldap host - your host
Ldap port - your host's port
Ldap bind_pwd - a password for your ldap account to bind with if you take that approach Basedn - String to search with Bind_dn - account for the password and other info Ldap preference and ldap filter are usually preset as good values for education

PHP settings - other than the ones recommender in the installer (max_post and max_file, and sometimes the memory limit), there isn't much you'd need to change.

HI again,

I've figured out the install issue, I wasn't being recursive with the chmod so only the directories had the right permissions not the files inside. I've got it installed fine now. But I'm unsure as to exactly what I need to put in the ldap boxes and if I need to have tinkered with any php settings to get it to work?

Thanks,

Alex

Hello,

Run an install through again (remember to delete the database).

When you get to page3.php, check on setup/database.txt / .php, and do the same before page 4.

Any changes?

Pat

Hi Patrick,

I did set the permissions before I started the installation and I've just doubled checked and they match what it says in the installation
guide: 0777 for the root, setup, error logs, user files and import folders.

Thanks,

Alex

Sounds like either the root folder or the setup folder aren't writable too.

Check that, then try again.

Hi All,

I'm currently trying to install the Xerte online toolkit on a Ubuntu Server VM when I click the last next on the install wizard I get a page full of MySQL errors: .has failed due to Access denied for user 'www-data'@'localhost' (using password: NO)I'm not quite sure where it's getting these details from as I did set a MySQL password during install and I entered it in the Xerte wizard. I'm sure I'm doing something fairly daft.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
