If it's a windows server, you will need to configure the MIME types, so, if it's a windows server, do that and test it before sending me the files. Have you tried it on a different web server (such as a localhost)?

Do you need to add the .rlo extension to the server's MIME types?

If you zip the project up and send me the fies, I can try it on a server here,

Hi,

just a simple suggestion: did you actually copy the Fiatest.rlo file to the server?

The reason why im asking: if the Fiatest.rlo is there - in the same folder as the Lectia1.htm file (http://www.romanian-online.ro/demo/module/Lectia1/Lectia1.htm) - it should be possible to access it directly in a browser, like this 
http://www.romanian-online.ro/demo/module/Lectia1/Fiatest.rlo    However, the feedback I get is "The page cannot be found" (in different browsers).

An .rlo file is a plain text file which contains all the instructions for a specific learning module. Without this file the general Xerte files don't have any information about what shall be displayed in a learning module.

Cheers,

Thomas

Let's just try and get it working in it's vanilla state before we start messeing about with it. The TTS will fail gracefully in Firefox, so let's use that for testing:

Delete any existing files on the web server;
Delete resources.swf, XMLEngine.swf, mainPrelaoder.swf, rloObject.js and rloObject.htm from the project folder;
Re-publish the rlo files;
Check that rloObject.htm works locally;
Upload all the files in the project folder onto the web- server and re-test it;

Any good?

If you google for the error message you report, you'll find some tips. If I can try and load the piece in my browser I can tell you whether it works or not. That will tell us whether the problem lies with your computer or your server, whch would be good to know,

It's trying to set up the SAPI activex control for Text to Speech. In the HTML file you can remove the code that does that (if you don't need TTS) or you can set the security settings to allow the activex control to set itself up:

You need to go to Tools -> internet Options -> Security - Selec the Internet or Intranet tab, depending on where your piece is -> Custom Level -> look for the value 'Initialise and Script activeX controls not marked as safe for scripting and set it to 'prompt' or 'enable'. The control should then set itself up.

Does it work in Firefox?
