[Xerte] Re: Transferring files to remote server

Tue Oct 4 16:13:13 BST 2011

Well...

.htaccess is active but I set the mime types through cpanel.on my server

First I tried Tom's solution of text/plain rlo .rlo etc
Then I tried application/xml rlo .rlo etc

Neither worked. I also uploaded the lesson as a SCORM package installed
through moodle. Same problem. I wonder where next to look. Maybe I will
start afresh in the next couple of days.

Cheers
Andrew
