    Hi, I am going through the steps to install/integrate the Amember plugin for Moodle. I have confirmed that all the files were saved in the proper locations. But when I go to choose Amember under users-authentication in the Moodle Administration, it's not there!! In fact, my menu doesn't look right at all!

    It shows up as
    Users
    Authentication
    Manage authentication
    Email-based self-registration
    Manual accounts
    No login

    Please help! I can't go any further in the integration...

    Dear mmonroe

    Don't get disheartened. check out at Users --> Authentication --> Manage authentication. You will see the list of active authentication plugins. Just enable amember and disable Email-based self-registration. Thats all. You need not bother about amember settings. It is all done by the scripts.

    authentication plugin 'lang' not found error

    I have tried and tried to fix this. I can see the moodledata/lang/en_uft8_local/auth.php in there, but Moodle will not pick it up.

    So I don't have an Amember choice in the authentication menu. Driving me crazy!!

    Sorry to hear that you have problem in integration. There are two auth.php files. You must have three files (auth.php, config.html, config18.html) in /moodle/auth/amember folder. This auth.php is about 5534 bytes. The other auth.php (116 bytes) goes to lang folder of your moodledata folder. If you have those three files in correct folder, you should be seeing the amember authentication in plugin page of moodle. Probably in your case the files are not uploaded properly. In case you use any ftp client use binary format to transfer file. I have attached the required files for the moodle end. Try with these files. In case amember lang files is missing, that does not create any problem
