"The page cannot be found" Error when starting a SCORM course

"The page cannot be found" Error when starting a SCORM course

HI:

I wrote several times in this forum about this error and I'm not the only person as I saw. I just checked with the support people who created the commercial SCORM course we bought and they don't what's happening. I tried many thinks from this forum too. I suppose it is some Moodle problem related to some server specific configuration as Moodle with my course on a windows server is running (we did installations on other servers) - just not on mine.

I would like to ask Roberto Pinna or someone who knows about moodle and windows servers very well to help me in solving this.

Best regards,

Markus

Hi

I'm having this same problem, but my server is a Linux/Apache/MySQL configuration.

I've tried tons of posted solution, but nothing works so far. I'll keep you posted.

Hello,

I am having this problem. I have moodle installed on IIS. all pages can be opened directly through localhost, but not when uploaded to moodle. They are scorm packages.

If you haven't already, try using one of the SCORM packages in the SCORM Repository. Make sure you are using the SCORM activity and not the IMS Content Package resource when adding the SCORM package. Also, if you are not using the latest version of Moodle, you may want to consider upgrading.

If you still get the same error message then the problem is with Moodle. If not, then you need to look at your SCORM package.

Depending on the tool you use to create the SCORM package, some of these may not apply, but each of these can cause a problem.
  1. The SCORM course must be packaged in a "zip" format and contain all course files as well as the "imsmanifest.xml" file in the root folder of the course. Note: For very large SCORM courses you may need to cheat on the packaging as noted below.
  2. The "imsmanifest.xml" file must point to at least one file for launching the first SCO. If the file to be launched is not in the root folder, then a realtive path must be included as part of the launch filename.
  3. After uploading the SCORM pacage as a SCORM activity, don't unzip the file, just select "Choose". Moodle will take care of unzipping the files, reading the imsmanifest and launching the file indicated.
  4. If the SCORM package is very large in size, the server may not extract all the files from the package. This is a limitation of the PHP zip/unzip function not Moodle. This can lead to blank pages and missing files. Exactly what size? It depends on a number of things. Configuration of server and PHP time limits, number of files in the package, size of files in the package, etc.
    We get around this by breaking up the zip file into smaller chunks. We upload the zip file containing the imsmanifest and start files first and "Choose" it, allowing Moodle to create the folder structure. Then we upload the other parts of the course to the appropriate folders and unzip them manually.
  5. Verify that the SCORM package is SCORM compliant with the ADL SCORM Conformance Test Suite aapropriate to the version of SCORM being used. You can download the test suites at: http://www.adlnet.gov/downloads/index.aspx
