I am working on uploading Articulate Presenter Files into GCP (Google Cloud Platform) as a hosting site. I have had success with one file, however my latest attempt is prompting the spinning wheel of death.
This is what my computer monitor is showing for the past 20 minutes:
Any suggestions or reference points for Webhosting will be much appreciated!
I haven't used Google Cloud hosting myself, but I know that we have a video tutorial by Tom Kuhlmann on it, and it's just one of a few options mentioned in this article.
Also, this blog post by community member, Mike Taylor, has a nice write up on all things Google Cloud hosting.
My tutorial is the extend of my expertise with Google Cloud :)
A few thoughts though, if the link just spins there may be a permissions issue accessing the other files in other folders. That's something to explore.
Sometimes, files get corrupted when they get uploaded. That happened a lot to me when I was in school. You could delete and retry to see if that works.
Clear your browser cache, especially if using Chrome. I find that Chrome often hangs out to the content without playing the updated files.
Thank you, Ashley! I republished the course and --- success!!! After a lot of hair pulling. Mike's blog is what inspired me to use GCP :) Thank you eLearning Hero!!!!
Thank you, @Tom Kulman! Your video and Mike Taylor's post were tremendous guides and tools for getting me started with GCP. In much gratitude to my eLearning Heroes :)
Any tips for checking web publishing across multiple platforms? I have had a success on the web - across multiple browsers, but cannot get the course to go live on mobile devices.
Just wanted to quickly follow up. I republished the file.Not sure what the issue was with the first set of output files, but the second time was a success! Thank you for your response to my query. Appreciate you!

Hi Ashleigh!
I have had a success with getting my file live on the web, however, I cannot seem to get it to work on a mobile interface. Any additional suggestions?

Hey Simcha, happy to help you!
Tell me more about what you're seeing when you test the output on your mobile device. Also, these details would be helpful!
