Integrating Moodle with Articulate Quizmaker on Godaddy Website

To be more specific, the error presents itself only when I attempt to play it.

Hi Steven!

I'm certainly not a Moodle pro, but it does sound like an issue with your server. I did a quick search and came up with this thread:

http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=18894

Looks like Moodle expert, Dan Marsden, chimes-in down toward the bottom of that thread with some advice that might be useful for the issue you're describing. Let us know if you get it worked out, and good luck!

Hi Steven, should work fine cannot see it would be anything to do with the host, are you unzipping your scorm package?  You need to point it at the zipped file, also ensure you zip the folder contents and not the folder as the lmsmanifest needs to be in the root directory of the zipped file

yeah - Peter found the issue above - we even have a specific FAQ entry for godaddy and SCORM:
http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/SCORM_FAQ#SCORM_doesn.27t_work_on_Godaddy_Host

If that FAQ doesn't make sense a search in the SCORM forums for "godaddy" will throw up a bunch of other related posts.

Hello all. I have a shared hosting account on GoDaddy and installed Moodle 1.9.10 that they offer. After running into some of the problems listed in the FAQ and resolving them, I bumped into the "blank page after filling in the title, description, and selecting a large SCORM file" problem. The zip file that I was uploading is 7.3MB.

The solution that is described under "Unzip issues" says to point the "Path to unzip" in "System Paths" to the unzip program on the server. Upon calling GoDaddy, I was informed that, on a shared hosting account, I could not point to the unzip program. So, where do I go from here? Is there a way to get the bult-in Moodle unzip utility to work? Is there another way to upload a SCORM package? Is Moodle not usable on a shared hosting account with large files?

I presume godaddy allow you to ftp files into your data dir - they may even have some form of control panel that has a file manager?

if you have a file manager in your control panel, upload the file into Moodle - preferably into your courses folder.

The data dir in moodle 1.9 lists a bunch of numbers (2, 10, 22, 34) etc - these are the ids of the courses you have on your site. To find out the id of your course go to the homepage of your course and look at the url - at the end of the url will be something like ?id=XX - the "XX" bit will be the id number of your course.

enter the folder with the same number in your moodledata and create a new folder and extract the SCORM zip into that folder.  The key here is to make sure you extract the Zip yourself - so you don't rely on Moodle/PHP to do the extracting.

Then in Moodle create a new SCORM and in the file selector (if you've put it in the right place) you should see the folder you created with the extracted SCORM package.

Enter the SCORM package folder you created and select the "imsmanifest.xml" file - the SCORM module in moodle allows you to select the imsmanifest.xml file directly.

If you do it this way and upgrade to 2.x at some point in future, it should upgrade fine. If you store the SCORM package in a different location you may need to re-link the file after upgrading.

If it doesn't have a file manager but allows ftp you will need to do something similar but ftp the extracted files in place.

Important to Note - the above instructions will ONLY work with Moodle 1.9 - not Moodle 2.

of course - another option is to dump Godaddy and use a Moodle Partner to manage/host your site - but this will cost a lot more than your existing godaddy hosting account.
