If it isn't Unicode and because of file linking problems - try this discussion http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=30660

Go to this table "mdl_resource". In that table theres a column called "reference". Just edit the row value in there to point to the full web folder path of your resource which in this case should be the scorm and your moodle implementation will rock.
This problem is actually common in shared hosting solutions like godaddy economy hosting and stuff because may be they actually donot allow a physical path reference to their home webroot folder.
Say me if it doesnot work.

Am trying to work around this as well with no luck, pretty much seems to be a Shared Hosting provider, in this case with Godaddy's but in my case am not using a basic account, is the premiun account.
Anyway am trying to configure the .htaccess file but so far alway am getting 500 error.
I've tried in the mdl_resources table but only shows up two items:
Weblogs and
URL Link
SCORM object is not shown to modify linking!!! am attachind picture of table.
Any ideas
Basically, I followed this path: Administration --> Server --> HTTP and unchecked (disabled) "Use slash arguments". Bingo, problem solved.
Here is the error:
- Uploaded files: slasharguments disabled or not working
- Slasharguments are needed for relative linking in uploaded resources:
- slasharguments are disabled in Moodle configuration
- slashargument test failed, please check server configuration
- Solution
- Slasharguments are disabled and the test failed. You may try to fix the server configuration.
IIS:
- try to add
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1to php.ini - do NOT enable AllowPathInfoForScriptMappings !!!
- slasharguments may not work when using ISAPI and PHP 4.3.10 and older
Apache 1:
- try to add
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1to php.ini
Apache 2:
- you must add
AcceptPathInfo onto php.ini or .htaccess - try to add
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1to php.ini
- try to add
Can someone please help me with some detailed instructions?
Thanks in advance!

I unchecked "Use slash arguments."
At first, when I went back to moodle, everything was blanked out.
I panicked, put the check next to "Use slash arguments" and got everything to not be blanked out.
Once I established that, I tried again.
I waited a few more seconds, and this time everything worked like a charm.
Think I went too fast the first time, which is why everything was blanked out.
Hope this helps.
Bless you and this thread! GoDaddy does not like slashes. in Moodle 2.2 as well.
And it took me a bit to figure out the correct mysql settings when I installed 2.2. Remembered that database in GoDaddy might mean mysql and I would have to create it. After I did that, my issue was I thought the server would be localhost and could not figure out the user name. Godaddy's database is also the username. Once I figure out the long complicated server name for mysql, rest was easy. Until I kept getting the unhelpful No input file specified
Humm this thread is in SCORM?? Should be general problems because I got it when trying to download a backup.

I've enabled/disabled slash arguements
debugged scorm (did my best cause it all was latin to me)
checked out the database (didn't want to mess with it too much
uninstalled and reinstalled moodle
restored moodle to last month when my scorm uploads worked..
and nothing..
i still get the "no input file specified...
my next attempt will be to check out the unzipping process...
please.. any new ideas on how to figure this out?
I'ld like to get around using scorm altogether now... but i really need the multimedia aspects it offers.

lindsay,
i'm with godaddy too... i'm on a shared hosting account.. wasn't a problem last month...
godaddy can't help cause moodle is a third party app,
slash arguement settings don't make a difference.
moodle without scorm is like like bread without butter...
do you have any special settings registered on your admin site that allow scorm to work.
with your images, do they exceed 8mb's you may want to upload them with filezilla if you are having time out issues.. but that doesn't sound like your issue
I'll keep you up to date on how I try to figure out this "no input file specified" problem of mine.
the admin/health.php file does a nice check to see if slash arguments is supported - try running it to see if it gives any errors.
Slash arguments are enabled, but the test failed. admin/health says to disable slash or fix server configuration.
Can you describe a simple way to fix server configurations?
admin/health shows me this:
- Uploaded files: slasharguments disabled or not working
- Slasharguments are needed for relative linking in uploaded resources:
- slasharguments are enabled in Moodle configuration
- slashargument test failed, please check server configuration
- Solution
- Slasharguments are enabled, but the test failed. Please disable slasharguments in Moodle configuration or fix the server configuration.

- try to add
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1to php.ini - do NOT enable AllowPathInfoForScriptMappings !!!

This solved the trick for me to!
My GoDaddy is on php5.3 so I had to use a slightly different file name, but it solved everything. See attached for more info...

Daniel: Neither you nor Lindsay may be doing anything wrong. It's quite likely the ISP you are both using (GoDaddy) is the problem. Image problem Lindsay reports may simply be that the GD library is not compiled into the web server (this can be checked in Moodle admin), or it may be related to something with permissions. In your case, make sure you unzip things on the server, not on your desktop first and then uploading. If you are on a Windows machine it will most likely change permissions on a folder in the process of unzipping.
Check Moodle documentation closely to see what it needs (server), for the version of Moodle you are running. Then, if you're going to stay with GoDaddy ask them whether these requirements are installed on your server. Moodle is a complex web application and the requirements will change again when version 2.0 comes out. It is a good idea for the Moodle admin to know these things. Some of the Moodle partners offer Moodle admin training and there are a number of Moodle books available as well.
I'm having these issues as well and have GoDaddy as the ISP. I have (3) different databases using Moodle and SCORM documents.
My first I created in December- works fine and runs the SCORM courses. The next one I created in March and is doesn't work. I have been trying everything. I created another one RIGHT AFTER I created the non-working one on another domain and it works great.
I'm going nuts. I'm new to Moodle and usually don't mess around much with databases.
I ran the health checker and it gave me the same result as someone above:
Slasharguments disabled or not working - even though they are enabled in the Moodle configution under Site Admininstration --> HTTP
I then tried the solution below in Red:
(I have tried this WITH and WITHOUT Slash arguments enabled- and no change)
IIS:
- try to add
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1to php.ini - do NOT enable AllowPathInfoForScriptMappings !!!
- slasharguments may not work when using ISAPI and PHP 4.3.10 and older
Apache 1:
- try to add
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1to php.ini
Apache 2:
- you must add
AcceptPathInfo onto php.ini or .htaccess - try to add
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1to php.ini
I would appreciate any and all ideas or suggestions.
Thanks,

Hello
I am having the same problems as described in this post. This is my first ever moodle server. Its Server 2008 r2 64bit with SQL Server 2008 r2 and IIS 7.5 . I have been looking at using the URL rewrite tool in IIS 7.5 and third part ISAPI rewrite tools but this is all blowing my mind a little. I am using PHP 5.2.5.
Any help you have would be appreciated.
If you are using godaddy, try thier one click install for moodle under their web apps portion of their website. it puts everything in the right place. if you try doing it from scratch on godaddy you will run into this problem because gd wants the moodle data file to be in its top most folder and thats not accessible by the moodle engine.
I have experienced this issue several times. The first time in added the fix
php.ini or php5.ini file with the following text:
AcceptPathInfo
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1
It worked. However, since Godaddy upgraded their FTP I have installed Moodle 1.9.19. I applied the fix because it worked with the previous version. After applying the same fix to my new Moodle installation it did not work. I called Godaddy several times before I got someone to escalate the matter. This time the fix was
Godaddy had to disable fastCGI. You can do this in hosting control panel under file extension management. When this was disable it worked fine. My file worked like it was suppose to.
