Yes, I even checked phpinfo() to make sure it was actually reporting is as active. Ive a2dismod ldap and a2enmod ldap to make sure - its there and reports but just doesnt seem to work. As a side note - I have a backup of our Moodle on another debian server that is running 8.2 of debian - and that has the same problem. When I installed the main Moodle and Archive servers a few weeks ago on 8.1 I had them all updated when we went live - about 2 weeks ago. Something seems to have happened between the version of php on 8,1 and the version on 8.2 it seems to me.
Is anyone running Moodle with ldap on debian 8.2?
