Scorm Stopped Working, now "No input file specified"

Scorm Stopped Working, now "No input file specified"

Hello,

My scorm with swf files made by iSpring Presenter were working perfectly for over 1 year, and they all suddenly stopped working last week. The swf starts to load and then I get a "No input file specified".

 

I have Moodle 2.0.2+, hosted by GoDaddy on  Linux server. I have never had any issues before. GoDaddy claims that they have not made any system changes, but I really don't believe them.  I also had some other issues with GoDaddy that started withing the last 2 weeks.

Any ideas on what could be happening? I have been trying for 3 days to figure this out, but have been unsuccessful. The solutions in related forums don't work.

Please help.

Thanks,

MsJanoah

Hi Janice,

Can you provide a little more detail?  What exactly is it that isn't working?  Are the SCORM modules not loading at all or is it something else?  Have you tried turning on debug mode to see if you can get any information there?

Hi Tim,

I just discovered that I get the "No input file specified" message with every type of file (scorm, pdfs, xls, doc, etc). I thought it was just the scorm files. I tried the debug, but it doesn't show any problems.

Here's a video to show what happens with the scorn (see attached). When I click a scorn activity, I get the following (as shown in the video).

 

1. You will be automatically directed to the activity in 2 seconds.
2. Activity loading, please wait ...
3. No input file specified.

Hi,

About the same time SCORM files stopped working correctly on your site, have you, or anyone else added a third-party plugin, in fact anything that may be conflicting with SCORM? The thing is the message may not be related to SCORM, but clicking on a SCORM file might trigger some other mod that is looking for something that's not there?

I may be wrong...but these things can get their wires crossed occasionally.

I added the scheduler calendar 2.5 months ago, but the site worked fine after I added that...  I haven't added any other plugins.


I did change my student permissions about 1 month ago, but the site also worked fine after that. Still, I will double-check just to make sure that the permissions are not causing this problem.

Hi Janice,

I have just been reading up on the "No input file specified" error message, which points to the relationship between the .swf file and .htaccess on the server.

I am not sure about this, but it is looking very much like GoDaddy have disabled the rewrite access that redirects requests for info back to their rightful place.

Thanks Mary. This makes a lot of sense. I will call GoDaddy again and inquire. I checked my ftp and did not see an .htaccess file in the root directory.  GoDaddy has been really "unhelpful".

I ran a function DB test and got 3 errors with one exception. I have no idea what these mean.

ignore the DB test stuff - you should create a file called php5.ini and put it in the root of your moodle dir with the content shown here:

if that doesn't work - try renaming the file to php.ini

Thanks Dan and Everyone,

 

The problem has been solved. I have not changed anything on my site, so I assumed that GoDaddy did something on their end and behind the scenes that causes my php site to crash...  I was right.

 

GoDaddy did something to make my existing php5.ini crash my sites. My existing php5.ini file had many, many commands. I ended up paying a Freelancer $100 (well worth it) to tell me what was wrong and to fix it. Apparently, GoDaddy either added duplicate or contradicting php5.ini commands to their server, so I no longer needed those commands in my php5.ini file. Now, I only have the following in my new php5.ini file.

 

  • cgi.fix_pathinfo=1
  • ;zend_extension = "/usr/local/IonCube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so"
  • zend_extension="/home/content/35/6111635/html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so"
  • zend_extension = "/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.3.9/php-5.2.x/ZendOptimizer.so"



Now my site works perfectly.

 

Thanks again

Hi Janice,

I realize this was awhile ago. But I am having similar problems with go daddy. I see what you added to the php5.ini file.

Is that the only language in the file? And where did you place it?
