Publish Captivate 9 content to a webserver

[holgert76625667]

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?

So I tested a little bit yesterday. In the first step I've published my project as a xAPI compliant package(HTML5 and SWF enabled). This gives me a zip file which contains in addtition to the js files one htm file which requires a installed flash player. There is also a html index file called index_TINCAN.html. If I connect to this html file on my local webserver it stucks on loading.

Therefore I've gave it a try and published my captivate project as a SCORM2004 compliant package. An the output contains an additional html file in contrast to the xAPI compliant package. This file is called index_PROJECTNAME.html. As I call this html via the browser my content is displayed as it should.

My thought now is that the xAPI compliant package is maybe missing this file? Or have I to do additional work to get the xAPI compliant package running?

As an answer to your last question, yes I'm running the Apache server locally and accessing the content via the localhost. The url that I'm using looks like http://localhost:PORT/xAPI/content_folder/index_TINCAN.html
