I have a problem that hopefully someone can help with. I did the automatic install of Moodle 1.8.2 on Godaddy's Linux shared hosting. I am trying to get LDAP authentication working for Novell NDS, but with no luck. Will LDAP even work on Godaddy's shared hosting? Any steps or imformation you all can provide to get this working would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hey Tony...Yeah I tried their tech support as well, but with the shared hosting I'm not sure if we can do it. According to documentation I saw on setting up ldap, the php.ini file needs to be modified and the server needs the correct .dll(windows) or .so(linux) file installed. With the shared account, I don't have access to all the directories so I can't modify the .ini file or search for the needed .so file. They told me that I might want to consider upgrading the host plan to a dedicated hosting plan so that I would have more access to the server....i'll keep searching and post what I find....
FYI this is one of the documents I was looking at with the basic setup process...http://docs.moodle.org/en/LDAP_authentication
yo jason - we can edit the php.ini sort of... i had to do it to allow larger file uploads in moodle, and a godaddy tech talked me through the process back when...
what you do <if i remember correctly> is kind of 'add' lines to the php.ini in what appeared to me to be a strange way: i think you create your own php.ini file from scratch, just add the necessary lines for your purpose, then ftp that to the server...
somehow it does not overwrite the 'real' php.ini - it just amends the line(s) from the one you created..
am working for the man now but will review your doc above asap and maybe if we put our coconuts together we can get this done...
