    Hi

    Wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction.
    I have been using MRBS (an open source booking system)  in conjunction with EE very successfully as a booking system
    check here http://mrbs.sourceforge.net/view_text.php?section=Documentation&file=AUTHENTICATION

    mrbs can authenticate the users against the EE database.
    I have been using the following settings

    $auth['db_ext']['db_system'] = 'mysql';
    $auth['db_ext']['db_host'] = 'localhost';
    $auth['db_ext']['db_username'] = 'root';
    $auth['db_ext']['db_password'] = 'PASSWORD';
    $auth['db_ext']['db_name'] = 'EE2';
    $auth['db_ext']['db_table'] = 'exp_members';
    $auth['db_ext']['column_name_username'] = 'username';
    $auth['db_ext']['column_name_password'] = 'password';
    // Either 'md5', 'sha1', 'crypt' or 'plaintext'
    $auth['db_ext']['password_format'] = 'sha1';

    have updated to the latest version the authentication no longer works i just get unknown user when i try to login to MRBS
    is there any changes that might effect this? The old database was on mysql 5.0.92 and the new database is on 5.5.25a

    thanks

    worked it out

    php.ini on new server had short_open_tag Off

    MRBS works pretty well with expression engine, if anyone is looking for a equipment booking solution.
