Hi,

I have been asked by a client who will be hosting training publications on their webserver what the minimum requirements are to host the content and for a user to view it.

Please can you advise? I am using Captivate v9 and using the following publish settings:

Thanks


Tom

    The most important thing is that the mime types exist for all of the file types. THis is what I have on my server and I have no problems playing Captivate files:

    AddType video/x-flv .flv

    AddType audio/mpeg .mp3

    AddType video/mp4 .mp4 .m4v

    AddType audio/mp4 .m4a

    AddType application/json .json

    I have a related question, if you don't mind. I've tried asking Adobe directly and I'm getting no answers.

    I use Cap 2017 and we have an LMS we use for our people. However, a client has asked that we create an interactive course for their people (20,000+ ) and we can't support that on our LMS. Is there a way for us to host it on a website and still have it be interactive? And do you know if there can be any kind of tracking with that?

    Interactivity doesn't depend on whether or not you are using an LMS.  If you build the modules to be interactive, they will be interactive regardless of whether they are launched from an LMS or just a normal web server.

    If you are using a web server that allows for PHP pages, then the Internal Server option that Adobe Captivate provides might be usable.  But in my experience (with other posters on this forum that tried to use that solution), you need someone with good web development skills to pull it off.  There always seem to be issues getting everything to work.

    An LMS would be my first preference, and if you DO have a web server that allows for PHP, why not just add MySql database support and then install the free open-source LMS Moodle?  For a user base of 20,000 people an LMS would definitely be the better option.
