External DB Authentication Problems!!

Hi Everyone

I am having some trouble trying to get the external DB authentication on www.cornwallscouts.org.uk

I have the auth/db/auth_db_sync_users.php running alongside my cron job - is this right? - as it doesnt seem to pull accross the user details...

But when I log in as a user in the external db - it creates a user in the mdl_user database, but doesnt pull accross the details from the external db.

I have the field mapping correct - checked that a million times...

Any help appriciated!!

Thanks

John

There's actually a dedicated Authentication forum which might be better for this question, but..

I would turn on Debugging, check your database error logs and check your web server error logs. I'm hoping you'll find an error that will give a clue as to what's gone wrong.
