Hello guys,

I've created a short video tutorial with captivate and now I want to publish it on a Apache webserver. I've put the content of the zip file into the document folder of the webserver, but if I try to connect to the content it's stuck on the loading screen. Can anyone explain how I could prodive the Captivate content via a webserver?

Best wishes

    Make sure you unzip the Captivate published on the web server (it's not going to play if zipped), and then link to the main HTM file (for SWF output) or the HTML file (for HTML5 or responsive output).

    Tanks for the quick answer. I've unzipped the content. But if I try to start the content via the html file I'm getting only a rotating loading screen. But nothing else happens. There is no flash needed for the html file right?

    If Captivate has created an HTML file rather than an HTM in the output then the output must be HTML5 and that type of output is not compatible with Flash SWF.

    But if you are still unable to play the content in your web browser, how are you accessing the HTML file?

    If your Apache server is just se up locally on your own PC, are you accessing the HTML file via a localhost URL?
