Publishing from Captivate v5 to Connect v8

Trying to publish a simple Captive v5 software demo to an Adobe Connect v8 server.

If I try to publish to a 'room' (i.e. www.example.com/roomname/), I get 'the selected resource does not exist'

If I try to publish direct to the Connect server name (i.e. www.example.com) , I get 'connection failed'.  (have checked, and do have web connectivity on this machine.

Long time since I have published to Connect admittedly, but I don't remember having problems before.

I guess I could be giving the wrong sort of 'publishing address' but Captivate Help just says "Enter the name and URL of the Acrobat Connect Server to which you want to load the project."

Thanks

    You can easily publish to Connect directly.  I suspect you do not know your Adobe Connect Server name.  Suggest you research that with your IT department or whoever manages that for you.

    Most Connect Servers have a URL like this:

    http://companyname.acrobat.com

    In my case I have an on-premise server and my server URL is like this:  http://se.adobe.acrobat.com

    You do not include the room name when you publish.  You simply publish to the server and Captivate will ask you to login and place the resource in the Adobe Central portal in a folder.

    So, suggest you figure out the server url...it never has www in the url and do not include the room name in the url.
