Re: HELP!

connection problem

I am currently using a current version of mrbs with MySQL ver 4.1 and
the latest php on a windows XP box.  I am having connection propblems. 
I have created the database mrbs and gave this command

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mrbs.* TO 'mrbsuser' <at> 'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY
'mrbs';

The config.inc.php file has the following:

###################
# Database settings
###################
# Which database system: "pgsql"=PostgreSQL, "mysql"=MySQL
$dbsys = "MySQL";
# Hostname of database server. For pgsql, can use "" instead of 

localhost
# to use Unix Domain Sockets instead of TCP/IP.
$db_host = "localhost";
# Database name:
$db_database = "mrbs";
# Database login user name:
$db_login = "mrbsuser";
# Database login password:
$db_password = "mrbs";
# Prefix for table names.  This will allow multiple installations where 

only
# one database is available
$db_tbl_prefix = "mrbs_";
# Uncomment this to NOT use PHP persistent (pooled) database 

connections:
# $db_nopersist = 1;

and when I try to connect via a web page I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() in
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cal\mysql.inc on line 224

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks,

Rene

You've not got the MySQL PHP extension installed/enabled.

Oh, and you're going to come across problems trying to use MySQL 4.1 
with PHP on Windows. I tried this and it appears the mysql extension in 
PHP only supports MySQL <= 4.0.x.

Re: connection problem

Thanks for the heads up. I have rolled back to earlier versions of both
and it is now working fine.

ldap problem

I am almost there.  I ahve the calendar working fine and the emailpart
of it is also working fine.  The last step, and this is where it is not
working, is authentication.  I am trying to setup ldap authentication
and using the values that my campus IT people gave me but whenever I try
and log in and authenticate I get a blank white page (the url in the
adress field is going to the admin.php page.....  is this correct?) 
Anyway here is my config file with the ldap values that was given to me
as the correct ones for this environment.

Your config doesn't scream any problems at me...

One problem with the pluggable authentication system at the moment is 
the inability of an authentication scheme to pass back any error 
message, so generally any problem with authentication is harder to track 
down.

However, you could try putting some debug in auth_ldap.inc.

Wherever you see a "return 0" in the authValidateUser try putting 
something like:

echo "Error 1\n";
exit;

in front of the return statement.

In this way you'll at least find which part of the ldap authentication 
is failing...

Good luck,

John.
