Hi James,
Sorry, I am not coming up with an answer, but with a question... I am desperately trying to implement the Moodle (2.3.1) external database plugin with a Drupal (7.3) database. I am sure about my credentials to access the db (I managed to set up a crontab for /auth/db/cli/sync_users.php), but I cannot seem to authenticate the users that exist in the Drupal db.
I tried both the MD5 and SHA-1 hashes, even tried to set latin-1 as db format (whereas it is utf-8, and in fact, it threw an error).
I ran out of ideas... Could you tell my how you set up the connection to the drupal db?
Many thanks
Michel
