    Importing SCO failed

    I was trying to import the sample SCO (the 26Mb one) but it didn't turn out ok. What could be wrong?

    I am using WinXP Pro as the client workstation.


    ATutor Version: 1.5.1 (build r5269 - 2005-08-16 12:59:49)
    Operating System: Linux 2.6.11-6mdk #1 Tue Mar 22 16:04:32 CET 2005 i686
    Web Server: Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/2.0.53 (Mandriva Linux/PREFORK-9.1.102mdk) mod_ssl/2.0.53 OpenSSL/0.9.7e PHP/4.3.10 mod_perl/1.999.21 Perl/v5.8.6
    PHP Version: 4.3.10
    MySQL Version: 4.1.11


    The following errors occurred:
    The file you tried to import is not a scorm-1.2 package. The required adlcp:scormtype is missing for some resource(s).
    The file you tried to import is not a scorm-1.2 package. The required href attribute is missing for some resource(s).

    Valid package, or size

    The message would suggest the package is missing the ADL xml schema files (and thus are not valid packages). But I happen to know that package is valid.

    It's more likely the file is larger than that allowed. Set the allowable file sizes as an ATutor administrator, and set the system limits in php.ini (usually in /usr/local/lib/php.ini). Restart the webserver when php.ini has been edited. Let us know if this helps, and we'll correct the error messages.


    #set these something larger than the largest file you want to
    #allow users to upload.
    post_max_size = 30M
    upload_max_filesize = 30M

    You might also try importing the file over the Web. Use the Package Url field in the Import Package tool

    SCO Importing ok now

    Following your suggestion, I changed it to:

    post_max_size = 500M
    upload_max_filesize = 500M

    then restarted Apache and made a new install of Atutor. I was able to successfuly import the sample SCO - International Security Risks. Of course I have to create a new course and import that to it.

    Another thing is that, the feedback error (which I posted in another thread) that I was getting during install about line 126 in common.inc.php did not appear anymore. I don't know if those changes solved it also.

    And yet another thing is that I already set it to 1000M the other day and did a new install but it didn't work.

    Anyway, now that I imported the package successfully, how do I make it available as a lesson which appears in the content area? I can just see it in the packages area even if I set it to normal in Lesson Mode of the packages settings.

    Thanks.

    Packages ok for viewing now

    Please disregard the last paragraph of my previous post. I was now able to change the settings to make available for viewing to students.

    Thanks for all the help.

    post and upload max_size

    I played a bit with the settings and when I set it both to 900M, the same problem as my original post appears. Then I set it 600M and its ok again.

    From that, i'm slowly believing that there is a range of value that it works ok. Am I correct to assume that?

    As a background in what i'm trying to do, I am trying to import packages done in Outstart's Trainersoft 8.3 and our packages sizes goes from 500Mb to 600Mb because of the videos that we have. I don't know how far Trainersoft is with their SCORM compliance because when I output the lesson as SCORM output it does not include the directories that contains the videos and other materials. As a workaround, I thought that just copying those directories to the resulting zip file would do it but when i import it to Atutor as SCORM package it says that the package is empty. So what i did was just to upload what trainersoft outputted as "SCORM" (without the directories) and just look for the directory in the server under atutor/sco then just manually copy the directories there and change the permissions. I can now access the packages from atutor as it were hosted directly from the webserver.

    Any comments to the process i've taken?

    Thanks.
