[Xerte] Re: Problem creating SORM/IMS packages

[Pat Lockley]

Hello,

You don't need to alter php.ini, alter the file I sent the path for
(xampp/htdocs/xertetoolkits/website_code/php/scorm/export.php)

if you want to alter php.ini search for "memory limit" and alter the
value after that, then restart apache on your USB stick.
