Hi Julian,<br><br>I did run into a minor issue with MIME types upon publishing to a web server. While not a XERTE issue, it will likely come up again. When I published to IIS and viewed in browser, I got the message of something like "download complete" but the status bar remained. IIS does not have .RLO as a default MIME type and it must be set correctly for the page to work. As I self-host, it is no problem to adjust them. If one is using a hosting provider, it may be more of a challenge to get the provider to change the mime types. As the extension .RLO seems to be required, it would be good to list in the requirements that you may need to adjust MIME types, and list some of the potential MIME types needed.
<br><br>Most admins should know how to add the following but should perhaps be reminded to do so: Add MIME types of .RLO as "text/plain" for the RLO files, and .FLV as "flv-application/octet-stream" if using flash video.
<br><br>This above would be potentially helpful if placed in the FAQ on the site with perhaps a pointer to a howto for MIME types on Apache and IIS. <br><br>I did get my 20 minute (creation time) demo published to a web server and it works as expected with embedded flash video and controls. Wow- so simple.
<br><br>Once again, great work! <br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Bill Laakkonen<br>AVATAVA<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 16, 2008 3:52 AM, Tenney Julian <<a href="mailto:Julian.Tenney@nottingham.ac.uk">Julian.Tenney@nottingham.ac.uk

<div></div>The piece does not function in the browser. I did not have
in preview mode at publish.<br><br>Monitoring the folder, I get the
"Cannot copy" error (apparently) at the moment the index.htm is
created. It is hard to tell if just before or just after the index.htm

[Xerte] Error at Publish- version 1.9<br></font><br></div>
<div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div></div>Hi Guys,<br><br>First off - I must say I am
delighted to use this wonderful tool. It is a huge
head-start for creating accesible learning content and I
had no trouble creating some basic content straight away.
It is exciting to see such a useful tool offered to the
world to freely use. Great work and documentation rivals
many commercial works. <br><br>I unfortunately must report
an error I am experiencing upon attempts to publish my own
files as well as example files downloaded from the Xerte
site. When I go to File->Publish I get the following
error:<br><br>A dialog box labeled "Error Copying
File or Folder" with the message "Cannot copy file: Cannot
read from source file or disk" with a Button labeled "OK"
followed immediately by a dialog box titled "pcd_test.rlo"
(one of the file names) with the message "Publish
Complete. All files for web deployment created" and
a Button labeled "OK" <br><br>When I look into the
associated project folder, it appears the template file
was copied (as it is from the program directory). I have
not modified the template files.<br><br>I looked at the
list archives and did not see any other posts regarding
this. I have not used a previous version of Xerte on any
machine here. <br><br>Here is what I am using to produce
this error with Xerte Version 1.9:<br><br>Windows XP SP2
with IE7.0 and Flashplayer 9<br><br>I also attempted this
on another workstation here with the same
result:<br><br>Windows 2000 SP4 with IE6.0 and Flashplayer
9<br><br>Both workstations are part of a Server 2003
Windows domain. Both have Office Professional 2003.
<br><br>Please let me know if I've left off any details
you guys may further need to help me resolve this issue.
Or have I missed a pre-requisite somewhere? <br><br>May I
suggest you consider a couple of additions to the error
and publish dialogs?<br><br>It may be easier to diagnose
such an error in the future should the "error copying file
or folder" dialog box be modified to contain the names of
files and folders that have failed to copy. It also may be
helpful for new users should the box with the "Publish
Complete..." message explicitly refer to the path and
files created (or not) in the publish process.
<br><br>Once again, I enjoy using this marvelous tool as
far as I've been able to use it. I hope this error is
something simple that I have missed and I look forward to
resolving this with your help.<br><br>As another
suggestion it would be nice to see the program requisites
and recommendations for OS and associated programs listed
on the web site; or have I missed the listings?
<br><br>Thanks and best regards,<br><br>Bill
