Can't allow slash arguments to use SCORM packages

Can't allow slash arguments to use SCORM packages

Hi,
I have managed to install Moodle 2.2.1+ in a 1&1 hosting, with phpdev option activated (5.4). Anyway, to make it work I had to disable slash arguments in admin/server/HTTP. This way, everthing works ok but the SCORM packages, which I need to use.

I have tried to allow slash arguments, adding the following line to my .htaccess at moodle directory and allowing slash arguments in admin/server/HTTP, as seen in the Installation FAQ

AcceptPathInfo on

Anyway, it still doesn't work.

Does anybody know how to fix that and make it to allow slash arguments and make SCORM packages work?

On the other hand, if I load SCORM packages as IMS resources instead of SCORM activities, they load fine, but with all the images broken.

I have been working days trying to fix this, but I cannot find a fix.

I look forward to hearning from you about this.

Fixed. I just had to create a php.ini file in the moodle directory with this content:

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0

It was a know bug when using PHP as CGI.

Hi there,

I have made a php.ini file within the root of my moodle 2.6 installation and added the line you mentioned. Also added the .htaccess command mentioned before. Also on 1&1. Turned off slash arguments as they were breaking the menu tree links and the image links.

Still can't get scorm to load.

Any ideas?

It worked out for me as well. Thank you.

1&1 hosting did not help allowing slash arguments and did not provide any solution.

My settings:

Moodle 2.4.1
php 5.4.12
MySQL 5.1.67
Apache Server API CGI/FastCGI

Tengo instalado Moodle 3.1 de 1&1 con el problema planteado y me lo han resuelto desde 1&1, al parecer cambiando una directiva de config.php (no me lo han concretado. Yo lo había intentado por mi cuenta pero no lo conseguí)

Saludos
