[Xerte-dev] Re: example_zipper issue revisited

[Ron Mitchell]

I wondered about that (had a similar issue with a Wordpress install needing
memory limit increased recently) but with XOT this seems a relatively new
issue e.g. on servers where this wasn't a problem previously with earlier
versions.

Will do some further testing but useful to hear from Tom and also if others
are seeing the same problem with current 2.1?

Cheers
Ron

I've seen issues with exporting large LOs via SCORM which trigger PHP to
abort when it hits a memory limit.

This was in website_code/php/scorm/archive.php approx line 330 from memory.

One solution is to just increase the server memory limit.
Perhaps removing the debug calls around those lines would help.
