About slash arguments
'Slash arguments' (using PATH_INFO) is required for SCORM packages and multiple-file resources to display correctly. If your web server doesn't support 'slash arguments' and you are unable to configure it, the setting can be disabled, though it will result in things not working.
Enabling slash arguments
Slash arguments must be enabled on your web server, as described in:
Error when uploading a file
If you obtain a 'File not found' error when uploading a file, it indicates that slash arguments are not enabled on your web server. Please try enabling it.
If your web server doesn't support slash arguments, its use in Moodle can be disabled by un-ticking the checkbox 'Use slash arguments' in Administration > Site administration > Server > HTTP.
Warning: Disabling the use of slash arguments will result in SCORM packages not working and slash arguments warnings being displayed!
Slash arguments environment check
Note: The use of slash arguments will be required in future versions of Moodle.
If your web server doesn't support slash arguments, you will in future need to change to a web server which does. (It will no longer be possible to disable the use of slash arguments.)
In the meantime, Administration > Site administration > Server > Environment reports if the slash argument setting needs to be checked i.e. if it is detected that 'Use slash arguments' is disabled in Administration > Site administration > Server > HTTP. Thus, the check is a warning of the future requirement.
