The piece runs when you run the html file locally?

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

That should read:

AddType text/plain  .rlo

If this doesn't work, check if the .htaccess files are enabled.

Thanks Julian,

the server does not seem set  up to serve these mime types.

I have tried to add the types using .htaccess in the local directory as
follows:

AddType application/rlo xml -- same for rlm and rlt

As I really have no experience in doing this, I suspect that I got
everything wrong. I was guessing about "application" "rlo" etc...

Any clues you can give me as to how I should declare the types in .htaccess
would be very welcome.

Thanks a lot
Andrew

Sounds like mime types on the server. Check the archives. The server needs
to be able to serve .rlo, .rlm, .rlt (all of which are .xml)****

Hello

At the risk of filling the listserver with trivia, I have a third question
today.

I made a short lesson today using the onlinetoolkit in my PC under xampp.
Works fine.

I zipped it using the built-in facility then FTPd it to my remote server.
It unzipped correctly, the media are in the right place and all seems well.

I connect to the site, the blue progress bar appears and it says that it
has finished loading and to wait. I wait but nothing happens. The progress
bar is about 80% across. I then refresh the screen. The progress bar fills
completely and then nothing. Any clues???

I am working from Thailand with a relatively slow connection but I do not
think that this should matter for the amount of traffic involved. My server
is in the US. I have not checked the versions of php and mysql but believe
that they are likely to be ok.

Advice would be greatly welcomed.

Andrew
