Captivate 4 - Cannot publish to a zip

I am running WinXP and Cap 4. For some reason, I cannot publish to a zip file. I am running Win XP. I tried on two different machines with the same result. It appears as if the content of the zip folder will appear in the directory to which I publish.

Strange, could you post a screenshot of your Publish settings?

Cannot get next captivate to open when published as a zip

I am currently using Cap 4, but have the trial of Cap 5 as well.
I have a 7 mod course and need to be able to open the next Captivate module from the the last slide of the current module.
I have inserted a button with a path to the next movie, it works in both versions 4 and 5 when I publish in a folder, but when I publish as a zip file I get an error stating it cannot find the path.
I have moved the swf and html into the zip with the current movie, but it still errors out.
Can we "chain" the modules this way when publishing as a zip? I do need it to be a zip file for loading into LMS.
I'd appreciate any info that can help me out.

How are you asking the next project to open? Are you using a URL or the Project File Name? How are you publishing the files?
I've used this technique before with success (although never loaded it into an LMS). I used the Start/End under Preferences and linked to the Project name. All of the .exe files were in the same zip folder.
I'm not sure if the .exe works with an LMS, though.

Cannot Publish to You Tube (Captivate 6). Help!

I noticed this question in another spot, but the answers provided don't work for me. I'm trying to publish a project to Youtube, using Captivate 6 (most recent version-updated yesterday) on a Mac (OS 10.9.3). When I last used it (in October 2013), it worked fin. Now I get an error box and, even though I let it go through the entire loading process, the Adobe Captivate Video Publisher box is blank and no matter how long I wait, I just get the spinning beach ball. The box for creating the video is at 100%, but I can't move further. I've used this product for a number of years and am disappointed that this isn't working. I should note that all other aspects of the software (creating and saving a project, adding audio, etc.) are working just fine.
Thanks for any help--I'm in a time crunch and this isn't helping!

Interesting.
Are you getting any certain error message?

Cannot publish to Robohelp Server 8

Hello All,
Well let me start by stating that I am a systems administrator but I have had no experience setting up Apache, Tomcat or Robohelp Server.
This bomb has been dropped in my lap cause I am typically the goto guy. The company has an intranet site with a help section that was created and currently resides on a windows 2000 server with RSC 2.3, and RoboEngine 4.1. I have been tasked with setting up new server which will be windows 2003 server 32 bit OS.
Ok. I have followed all the Robohelp Server 8 getting started instructions (page5-6) on how to setup Apache Web Server with the Tomcat servlet for Robohelp server 8. I feel darn near 100% that I have gotten all of that correct. In other words everything tests correctly. I.e., going to http://localhost shows me the proper index.htm. I can access the tomcat manager using default UN and PW.
So I installed Robohelp Server 8 on the F:\Adobe RoboHelp Server 8\robo\server partition. I did create more than one context but am just trying to publish to the default robohelp. I create 3 areas. I do see the context's listed in Tomcat Manager and they all show as started.
I have created a simple project with one help file in Robohelp HTML software. I can generate it and it looks fine. I then configure the the WebHelp Pro Single Source Layout to publish to Robohelp Test Server, server *****WUIT002 (my test server), robohelp adds /robohelp/server automatically. I use admin, admin as username and PW. I attempt to select an area but get the error 'Unable to get area list from server'. Ok. that is not a good sign. But I save and attempt to publish anywho...to no avail(of course). I receive the message "Warning: Failed to publish to "Robohelp Test Server". reason: Unable to connect to the RoboHelp server on *****wuit002. If RoboHelp Server is not being used, generate WebHelp instead. More information on RoboHelp Server is available in the help file.."
I have looked at permissions to the partition and Robohelp server directory. I have basically completely opened them up just to see if that was the issue and I am still having a problem. Help Please. There is so little info out there regarding this product.

Hello John,
Thank you for your help. Hopefully you can shed some insight into this for me.
Here is the log directory zipped up.

Subject: Cannot publish to Robohelp Server 8
Oh, one more thing, uvwaves. Regarding your note about, " I attempt to select an area but get the error 'Unable to get area list from server'."
I realize this is disconcerting, but usually not a problem and may be ignore (as you did.) If left blank, the "general" area is assigned by default.
However, the other error, "Warning: Failed to publish to "Robohelp Test Server" is quite another matter and hopefully the logs will help me.
Thanks
john

Cannot publish to MP4, get blank, yellow warning

I am using Captivate 6 (cloud - online) - which I just purchased June 2013. I use an iMac OS 10.8.4
The file size I am tyring to publish is 38.8 MB, but I cannot publish to MP4.
I even tried with a file that was only 4 MB, and cannot publish.
I also have the latest version of Captivate (6.2) Updated today.....
Tried after the upadte and still cannot publish.
The file names do not have any odd characters or spaces.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,
Can you please confirm what is the resolution of your project? (check the bottom right side or click on modify > rescale project and check height & width).
Create a back up of your project (save it with a different name on another location), then rescale the project, so that W & H both should be in even numbers. (increase or decrease W or H by 1 to make them even)
Then republish your project in .MP4 and check whether this works?
Thanks.

Cannot publish 1 page in CS4. Other pages including index.html ok. Error message results.

After many months of no difficulty, I suddenly cannot publish changes to one of my pages (all others work) without getting the error message 'Another instance of Contribute is doing a workflow operation. Do you want to break the workflow and continue.....?' Whether I say yes or no and follow the prompts, it doesn't work. One way lets me exit, the other locks up my computer and I have to 'end task' to get control back. I hoped that the answer to the 'cannot publish index page' thread would help, but I didn't understand because most of this stuff is over my head. The only thing unusual I can dectect is the page name has an # sign after html as in 'name.html#tuition.' The word tuition refers to a pointer on the page. When I switch to edit mode, an asteric * appears after 'html' on the page name. I do not see that on any other page when I edit. I have CS4 version 5. Can anyone help? I don't know how many people there are in India, but I talked to half of them in a 2.5 hour 'session' in which I was transferred in a least 3 complete loops to every department and passing 'go' 3 times before some techie finally said I should email my question in and will get a reply within 3 days. Yeah, right. Worst tech support experience I have had in 10 years.

Hi,
Can you try deleting the Preferences and the Contribute's User Configuration folder. You will lose your website connections, you can recreate them again after relaunching Contribute.
If you have installed Contribute in Mac, go to <Username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder and delete Contribute CS4 folder there. Also, go to <Username>/Library/Preferences/ folder and delete the 'Adobe Contribute 5 Preferences' file.
If you have installed Contribute in Windows XP, the Contribute's Configuration folder will be in C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\. Delete the Contribute CS4 folder there. To clear the registry for Contribute, type 'regedit' in the Run window.(Click Start, and click Run, and then type 'regedit' in the text field.) Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then Software, then Adobe, then Contribute CS4. Click Delete button. Close the Registry Editor window.
The <username>, I have mentioned above is the name with which you will have logged into the machine.
Now, Relaunch Contribute and connect to your website and try editing the web pages from your website. Can you try this?

I updated to os x 10.8.5 today and now I cannot publish changes to my web page through iweb. iweb crashes every time I try to publish

First do the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Next, in Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Trying to publsh changes to my website. I get a message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider." I did, and all my settings are correct, but still cannot publish

Trying to publsh changes to my website. I get a message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider." I did, and all my settings are correct, but still cannot publish.
Any other ideas?

Most likely you are suffering from a bug in iWeb that doesn't let you publish websites if an image you have added to your site begins with space. You can either search for that image and remove it.

Cannot Publish in ADI ver 7.2.4

Hi,
Is this a known bug issue? I have a correct tnsnames file, and all correct passwords, however I still cannot publish reports.
I was told that this is a known issue with ADI ver 7.2.4. I am trying to find a web page from Oracle that acknowledges this bug, but I cannot find it.
Anyone know the bug in ADI and where I can find info about it? I tried to Google it, however it didn't come up. Or is anyone running 7.2.4 and able to publish?
Thanks in advance!!!

I am using ADI version 7.2.5, but I think we were using that version before.

OBIEE Dev VM Install Issue:Cannot open archive "ARCHIVE.zip" as archive

All,
I downloaded all eleven files for the OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 - Sample Application (V207).
I checked the MD5 Sum of the first two files and the MD5 Sums match, however when I use 7zip to extract the files, I get an error that says: Cannot open archive "ARCHIVE.zip" as archive
Has anyone encountered this issue? I verified that the files are not read-only and that they are not "blocked" by Windows.
I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Home Edition on a Dell laptop.
I encountered this error on two separate archives with correct MD5 Sums.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
I got the same problem. Have you found any solution for this? Thanks.

Cannot publish: solution found

Hi all. I'm an iWeb/.mac newbie with a trial .Mac account testing whether or not to keep the .mac.
I first fired up iWeb a few weeks ago, then didn't have time to mess with it. Recently, from lack of time to do a photo gallery myself via emacs, and the need to share some pictures, I used iPhoto to put some pictures online on the .mac account.
That worked fine and page was created, that is until I started messing with iWeb trying to add more pages. I had previously published one small/test page just fine, then continuously (weeks) had problems and could not publish. Then 1.1.1 came out, and I still could not publish.
Some of the solutions I tried: editting the Domains.sites package. Deleting the iweb prefs file. Deleting the Domains.sites file. (see group archive for explanations of these methods)
Nothing worked, and I spent hours reading all your helpful messages in this forum and surfing for solutions.
Last nite I finally hit on the problem - an upstream httpd proxy server (squid, on a Firewall). I realized the first iWeb page I had published I did from a Mac at work. The rest I tried doing from home, where the proxy server is. Whenever I tried to publish from home I got the "cannot publish" error. I had mistaken that for .Mac downtime, slowdowns, phase of the moon, you know the drill.
So last nite I turned of the web-proxy here, and lo and behold I now have absolutely no problems publishing (proof: http://web.mac.com/lottadot/ )

With the firewall I'm using it's just a checkbox to enable/disable. YMMV. BTW, Astaro is free for home use. http://astaro.com/

Yes, it does.
Version compatiblity issue between OEPE and OSB
Project developed on higher version of OEPE OSB plugin may not get deployed into lower version of OSB runtime as it is not certified. Even Oracle won't provide any support if you will face any issue, in such case. So it's better to use compatible OEPE OSB plugin (in your case OSB 11.1.1.3.0)
I asked you whether you have PS2 (11.1.1.3.0) installed in your machine from where you are trying to publish and definitely answer is "No". You are using OSB plugin of higher version for development and trying to publish the project to lower version of OSB, which is not certified (or supported, in other words)
OEPE 11.1.1.5 is certified with OSB 11.1.1.3.0 plugin so please use this combination.

Anuj
