I've recently installed moodle Moodle 2.5+ (Build: 20130621) on 1and1 and get the error "No valid arguments supplied or incorrect server configuration"

when running a course.

It goes through the motions of opening but give the error just before it opens.

I've loged a call with 1and1 and the general answer is they don't support moodle.

Hi James,

The error is displayed, when opening (entering into) a course, or when opening (using) a resource or an activity in a course?

This error message seems to be related to the Use slash arguments:

http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/HTTP

and special characters in file names and/or with the SCORM activity.

Some possible pointers:

As you are with 1 & 1, you might also want to take a look at:

For more info, look through the search result page.

Any luck James? Or does anyone else have an idea how to solve this problem?

I am also having the same problem as it seems and really need to fix it. I am also with 1&1.

Currently my 'server' > 'http' settings has the slash arguments unchecked.

Wow, five minutes later and I have solved the problem with the help of David in another thread:

Re: Can't allow slash arguments to use SCORM packages - Fixed!

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.

Yes, that info is at the third post of the thread I referenced above:

It sometimes makes one wonder...

Hopefully I can get some help

Also with 1&1 shared on Moodle 2.6

SCORM not loading - have got slash setting unchecked (otherwise the site looks broken)

Tried adding cgi fix to php.ini in moodle folder

Tried the acceptpath in php.ini and .htaccess

What's weird is SCORM worked fine on 1&1 when we were using Moodle version 1.9....

I recently ran a full upgrade (1.9 > 2.2 > 2.5 > 2.6)

I have no problems hosting this on my machine and two other machines - its 1&1 where it stops working...

Turned on debugging and I get:

No valid arguments supplied or incorrect server configuration

Debug info:
Error code: invalidargorconf
