Already published website

I published a website but my computer crashed. I saved the site to iDisc, now I want to pull it up in iweb again. How do I open the already published website on iweb?

The short answer is that you can't.
You'll get some help here....

When I opened iweb it opened as a file I deleated. I have a published website with godaddy and would like to update. How can I open the existing iWeb app to the site that is already published?

You cannot retrieve the already published site as iWeb CANNOT open it - it has no import facility.
You need your domain.sites file, which you can find under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. You do not need any kind of account for this because it is your domain.sites file that resides on the hard drive of your Mac anyway. Find this file and you can alter your website.
Use a spotlight search to try and find it and if this does not work you can download something called Find Any File. If you really can't find it, then you'll have to start from scratch because iWeb cannot open a site that is already published.

Cannot update published website without errors: requires deletion of site, then creating a new one.

Hello all,
This has been a long persisting issue since we purchased Muse in January 2013, but has since then led to a shutdown of my office's website and email in September. Multiple support technicians were eventually able to restore the website, as well as our email function, but the core of the problem lies in the fact that when I update my website, it becomes entirely scrambled, and the only solution provided to me right now is that I need to delete my site completely (through Adobe Business Catalyst) and then create a new one, while transferring over the same domain information. I have yet to receive guidance on how to resolve this issue properly:
September 06 Email: detailing the series of events
Good evening, Zak,
I am reluctant to bring this to your attention because of the comprehensive nature of the following, but I have been told that my absolute last effort should be to contact you with what has been a persistent problem since the last time we had mediated this particular issue. Essentially, when publishing a website multiple times, sooner than later the format becomes scrambled when viewed online. I am being told I am the only customer known to have this issue, and that it needs to be investigated deeper.
This is a blurb from our original conversation in March 2013:

I'm also puzzled. This isn't a problem I've seen before for a site published to Business Catalyst.
Please try publishing again, this time to a new temporary site (they're free). You can choose this option under More Options in the Publish dialog. I'm curious whether publishing to a new empty trial site works.
If that doesn't work, please send me the .muse file at [email protected] along with a link to this thread. If the file is larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, SendThisFile, WeTransfer, Dropbox, etc.
Thanks.

Hi Zak,
I published the website to a new temporary site, and it worked beautifully. Now I just have to fuss with the horizontal bar, and then I'll be super happy. Thank you for your help!
Sincerely,
Sarah
Since this bit of advice, I have freely published to a new temporary site every time the website gets scrambled. I have had temporary websites titled:
argponline01.businesscatalyst.com
through
argponline15.businesscatalyst.com
along with a bunch more than I cannot recall.
and Muse files titled:
argp-uc.muse
argponline.muse
argponline_02.muse
through
argponline_05.muse
argponine_3A.muse
argponline_3B.muse
and currently, my file name is
argponline_4.muse (dropbox link)
I am using Muse on a Mac Powerbook, OSX 10.8.4.
I don't know how much of the above is relevant, but maybe it makes a difference to you.
The timestamp on the following thread says September 5th, 2013 4.50AM, but I really sent it the evening of September 4th, 2013. No difference anyhow:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5653912#5653912
What was going on in detail:
1
I made a few changes to my argponline_4.muse file on September 4th, 2013.
The published website at that point was argponlined.businesscatalyst.com (D).
The domain name was argponline.com .
(D) was published probably about two months previous, maybe longer ago.
When publishing (D) on September 4th, 2013, the website appeared scrambled.
I tried to publish only modified files, as well as publish the entire site, as well as close programs, and restart the laptop.
I decided to follow the advice given previously, and I published and launched argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com (F).
2
At this point I have two bookmarked websites for Adobe Business Catalyst Admin Consoles.
For (D), the Admin Console address was argponlined.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsole/#!/Admin/Websites.aspx
For (F), the Admin Console address was argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsole/#!/Admin/Websites.aspx
I was able to sign into both.
When signed into the Admin Console for (F), I tried to Add a New Domain, but was told that I only had a plan for one hosted website through Adobe Business Catalyst, and that I would need to purchase a plan that offered more hosted websites.
I signed into the Admin Console for (D) and deleted the domain, but given the option to keep associated files just in case, I opted yes, to keep them.
When signed into the Admin Console for (F), I tried to Add a New Domain, but received the following error message:
Domain already exists. Please delete all records associated with this domain before re-adding it.
There was nothing visible though the Admin Console for (D) to delete the associated records, so I deleted site (D) in its entirety.
I continued to try to Add a New Domain for (F), but continued to receive the same error Domain already exists...
3
At this point (the morning of September 6th, 2013) we have the following set of parts:
The published and launched site is argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com (F).
For (F), the Admin Console address is argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsole/#!/Admin/Websites.aspx
The website is now completely down, and I have disrupted email service for the office.
I chatted with Lokesh, who determined this was a technical issue, and I was forwarded to Anshul.
Anshul's assessment is as follows:
Anshul: I see the error, Sarah it seems there are some Domain traces left with the system , I tried to clear then out and I am getting errors as well. In this case , we might need to escalate the case to higher level to have deeper investigation related to this issue.
Anshul: Sarah, the issue is the domain not the site. It seems like there are some traces related this domain in the backend. This issue is more of related to BC and not Muse. I will have this issue escalated and checked with the team and request them to run internal queries to clear the traces and then you should be able to add the domain.
4
Soon after I received the following message from Matt Baracz:
Matt Baracz (Adobe Business Catalyst Support)
Sep 06 10:50 (EEST)
Thank you for contacting us.
I have escalated this issue to our engineering team and have requested them to clear any references to the domain argponline.com from our database. Once cleared, you will then be able to re-add the domain successfully to your site.
As soon as I receive a response from engineering confirming that this has been actioned, I will let you know directly via this support ticket.
Regards,
Matt.
Around 3 or 4pm, I had not heard anything back, so I attempted to Add a New Domain through the Admin Console for (F). (Turns out Matt works in Australia, and was unable to alert me due to the time zone difference. Understandable!)
This was done successfully, so the website began to work again, but the email was still down.
5
I began a chat again, this time with Srividya. I was transferred to technical support and began conversation with Sanjit. The length of our conversation was probably around 3 hours, and I am so grateful for the time he put in. What a great guy.
He stated that he had gone through the case details and that Engineering had fixed the issue. We spent some time coordinating the Site Domain information through the Admin Console for (F). Ultimately, email is still not working (settings were probably updated around 5pm), but I understand sometimes it takes a while. Just wanted to note, the last time I updated the email settings it worked within a couple minutes. Varying lengths of time are expected, but I am still curious what effects those variations. Regardless.
6
The current situation is this:
My boss is a bit steamed that our website was down for a day and a half, and that our email is down for a relatively indeterminate amount of time. It's bad for business, and ultimately, I am responsible for these disruptions. I am incredibly concerned that the next time I update our website there will be a slew of problems, which have the potential to knock down service for the website and email again. I am desperate for a surefire way to simply and fluidly update our Adobe Muse website to Adobe Business Catalyst without making the same mistakes again.
I don't believe I did this the right way. I looked at FAQs, Community Forums, goDaddy Support and anything I could lay my eyes on to try to do things properly, but managed to make a few well-intentioned blunders. I continued to try undo the damage I've done in the past couple days, and with utter frustration, have not been able to fix them on my own. The people who have helped me thus far have done an amazing job, but ultimately, I am happier when I am not taking up their time, or panicking here.
When I first launched the website a few months ago, there was a step-by-step process that took me through every single action with screenshots included when appropriate. It was exponentially helpful. I was so lost without it this time around, and I was wondering if I could access it again in the future if needed.
The following is a blurb from my conversation with Sanjit tonight:
Sanjit: You have purchased Muse subscription , correct ?
Sanjit: or Creative cloud >
Sarah Rushing: Yes, we purchased Muse for 1-year, as well as Business Catalyst for 1-year
Sanjit: Perfect
Sanjit: With Muse you get 1 free site , so once you create a site and then publish to BC. In admin console you launch the site, that makes your free count used. Now if you create another site, then system asks you to upgrade the site to a paid site plan. ut when you delete the previous site then the free count becomes free and can be used for any other site
Sarah Rushing: Yes, that is what I did. Is this what I need to do each time? Because I am concerned that the email and website will be disrupted every time I need to make slight adjustments to the website?
Sanjit: No, you dont need to do that everytime. If the site is scrambled everytime you publish then please report to us. Thats not the ideal way for solution.
Sarah Rushing: Well Sanjit, I can tell you right now, that is how it has been functioning since we bought the program. I am not entirely certain, but I believe we bought Muse and BC in January.
Sarah Rushing: I can absolutely guarantee you that the site will inevitably scramble. Am I the only customer you have heard of to have this issue?
Sanjit: Yes, i have not seen any other reports for this issue
Sanjit: Well this needs a deep investigation
Zak, anything that you could offer for clarity of process, would be incredible. I don't know if you will have time to look at this before Monday, but I can tell you I will be available at a moment's notice to fix this issue and to learn anything about Muse and Business Catalyst that you have to offer. Thank you for your time, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Sarah Rushing
I'm concerned that no one will really read this because it is so detailed and boring and comprehensive, but it is absolutely critical that I find a proper solution before the next update to the website. Thank you so so much to anyone who can possibly provide some insight into this issue.
Sincerely,
Sarah Rushing

In case anyone is experiencing the same issue, I am trying this today.
Sachin: Okay Sarah, so is it everytime you try to republish the website, it gets scrambled?
Sarah: Yes, that is correct. And the solution thus far was to publish to an entirely new site, meaning delete the existing one on Business Catalyst and transfer the domain information.
Sarah: The last time I did that I experience a slew of issues that resulted in no website and email for 4 or more days. My boss was very angry.
Sachin: Sarah, can you publish your site as a new trial site once.
Sachin: And provide me the URL.
Sachin: Then republish on the same trial site and let me check the results.
Sarah: If I updated the published site within the period of a day, it will be fine. It is when I update the next day or later than that, then the website appears scrambled. So I can create a trial site for you, but it will behave normally for now.
Sachin: Sarah, while republishing the site, did you select "Only modified file" or "All files" while publishing?
Sarah: I tried everything.
Sarah: I made a few changes to my argponline_4.muse file on September 4th, 2013. The published website at that point was argponlined.businesscatalyst.com (D). The domain name was argponline.com . (D) was published probably about two months previous, maybe longer ago. When publishing (D) on September 4th, 2013, the website appeared scrambled. I tried to publish only modified files, as well as publish the entire site, as well as close programs, and restart the laptop. I decided to follow the advice given previously, and I published and launched argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com (F).
Sachin: Okay. there is one more thing I would like you to try.
Sachin: Publish a site as a trial site.
Sachin: Then wait till tomorrow.
Sachin: After that login to the admin panel of the site.
Sarah: Okay
Sachin: There go to Site Manager>File manager
Sachin: There will be a file there named Muse_manifest.xml
Sachin: Delete that file and then republish the site from Muse.
Sarah: So in the Adobe Admin Console, underneath Site Manager, I see Web Forms and System E-mails. No file manager?
Sachin: Please hover the muse on your name at top right corner and click on My details.
Sarah: Okay, yes.
Sachin: Now scroll down and check the option that says Enable online content editing (incompatible with Muse)
Sachin: And then click on save.
Sarah: What does this do, and why does it say it is incompatible with Muse?
Sachin: It will help you see other options in BC.
Sarah: Okay, thank you.
Sarah: I see the File Manager now
Sachin: Okay.
Sachin: Now select the file named Muse_manifest.xml
Sachin: And use the delete button on the right side.
Sachin: but do it tomorrow
Sachin: With a trial site
Sachin: Not with the live site.
Sarah: Okay, could you please explain to me what deleting that particular file is supposed to do? I am just very interested in how this works.
Sachin: This file contains the information about your last upload.
Sachin: Deleting it will make sure that "ALL" the files are uploaded again from Muse.
Sarah: Okay, so:
Sarah: I will publish a trial site.
Sarah: Wait until tomorrow.
Sarah: Publish again. If I have an issue, I can log-in to the admin console for this particular trial site and go to Site Manager --> File Manager, and delete muse_manifest.xml.
Sachin: I will create a case for you and you can respond to the case.
Sachin: Correct.
Sarah: After that, I will try publishing again and see if it resolves the issue.
Sarah: That would be great, thank you Sachin.
Sachin: Thank you for contacting us. Have a Good Day!

How to edit a published website

I've looked around and can't figure out how to get into my published website in order to make changes or add photos. Probably an easy question for someone to answer for me.
thanks a bunch

Okay. So if you have published to MobileMe and you have published your site already, you cannot update a published site.
As you created your site in iWeb, iWeb stores all its files under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb and you want the domain.sites file in iWeb.
If you want to update your site and alter text and add more photos, as you seem to want to do, then you need to go back into iWeb to do this, so it is the domain.sites file that you need. Amend your site within iWeb and then go to file and click on Publish to MobileMe and your site will be updated automatically and will be re-published in that format, so there is no need to alter a published site.

Import of already published podcasts.

I already have a podcast on iTunes. I have been using Podcast Maker by Potion Factory. How well does the new podcasting capabilities in iLife 6 intergrate with already published feeds and material? or do I have to start all over?

I'm happy someone asked this question. I'm sure a number of podcast creators will want to explore what is possible with GarageBand and iWeb. The RSS created by iWeb needs to be automatically generated and you cannot take an existing Podcast RSS file and import it.
However, you can copy and past the descriptions and add the enclosures to iWeb and it makes it very easy to rebuild your podcast. The big difference you will notice right away is fast and simple it is to add a new episode from GB to iWeb.
I should explain a few things:
1. GarageBand only creates a single Episode.
2. iWeb all of the episodes for your podcast and automatically creates both the webpage, the summary of episodes and all RSS for the podcast.
3. GarageBand has a new menu called "Share" which has a "Share with iWeb" feature. When you use this, it automatically adds the incomming episode to your podcast and when you click the publish button, uploads the new episode, changes to the website and RSS file all at once. If you use .Mac its super easy since you don't have to fuss with FTP, etc.
Check out the videos located here:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials
These talk all about how to use iLife'06 as a podcast creation and publishing tool.

Problems publishing website.

I am trying to publish my website to an FTP server. I have test my connection few times and i get an ok to publish, but when I do I get the message that my password is incorrect. I could publish already once but no pictures were published.
Thanks for the help.

Try using the publishing settings shown in the first example on this page...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html

Links in published website don't work.

The majority of links in my published website (both online and when published to a folder) won't work. However, unpublished they work fine.The navigation bar and picture links fail, except for the first two pages. I've checked to make sure the links are forwarded to the front.
http://web.mac.com/melaniermaxwell
Any thoughts?

Ok, I checked that one and it didn't work for me too.
So these are my thoughts:
-I think you protected your photos by putting a textfield or a shape in front of the photos and that one is covering the links and that's why they don't work. If you didn't protect them you might however have something in front of the links. Move it a bit downward so that it is on the photo put not on the links or delete it.
-There aren't any other photos to link to and that's why they are disabled.
However I think it's the first one because I get a strange highlighted area when I try to highlight.
If it's none if these I'm out of ideas, sorry! Maybe someone else has some more...

How to publish website from iWeb ?

Hi Apple Geniuses
I have downloaded Server 2.1.1 thought I would be able to publish my website after losing MobileMe hosting. I would love to publish it again but the process with Server seems to be more complicated, not to say...less straight forward. I have tried some couple of thing but unsuccessfully.
Would anyone of you recommend the step to follow using Server software only (and not recommending any third party website please) to enable the publishing of my website. Alternatively , does anyone would recommend tutorial on how to use Server to publish website.
To all of you, in advance, Thank you.
Fred

Hi Mark
I grately appreciate your support and the first couple of steps were easy to follow. However , I'm quite puzzled with the last paragraph in regard to DNS, DynIP, CNAME...
When I have allocated the folder , it did change the TCP from 80 to 443 and I manually reset it to 80...is that where you told to direct the TCP to?
Here is a snap shot of my setting
Let me know if I'm going the right route thank you.

If i already published a book can i sell my book as an ibook with apple??

Hi there ,
If i already published a book can I sell my book as an ibook with apple??

Apple do not really get concerned about authors who publish elsewhere.
If you want to publish and sell your books on the Apple store, you will need to open a paid book account, submit your bank details and study and agree contracts and you will needs a USA EIN tax form.
Your books need to be in an acceptable format, ePub or if you want the interactive facilities of iBooks Author, you can download the free software and after learning about the application and its functions and facilities.
If you do not want to be involved - you can use aggregators, who will do most of the work, but will need you to cover a fairly substancial outlay first.

Updating an already published book on iTunes Producer

How do I go about updating my already published paid iBook without using iBooks Author? The reason is that I created my epub in InDesign and so I cannot open the epub in iBooks Author for me to update it using the iBooks Author to iTunes Producer method...
Can I just re-upload the file on iTunes Producer and actually have it be a new update to the book on iTunes?

There is no way to import your original InDesign created ePub... into iBooksAuthor.
You can update your inDesign files..and upload as an update.
Only you know if the book is selling ...and at what rate of sales...and therefore that information is the catalyst for your choice. If it is selling well -it would seem worthwhile investing some time to rebuild and update it using iBA.
You mention spending a few days creating your book.....there are many members here who spend months creating so e examples of the most brilliant interactive iBooks currently available in the store. However, only you can decide which of the options available to you..to opt into.

How can I edit a published Website in iWeb again?

Hi there,
after upgrading to Leopard my former published website-folders have not been overtaken to new installed iWeb ´08.
How can I edit those older iWeb-folders (import them to new installed iWeb ´08 again) to provide from rebuilding the complete stuff?
Thanks very much for infos...
Sincerely,
Jörg Daniel
(fridgeflight)

Did you find an answer on this, or give up? I've done the latter, and recommend that you also consider buying a more useful application for this purpose.
This really is an unbelievably silly oversight on Apple's part to "break" our webpage interface so that users lose their website (which I did by trying to link iweb to it) or cannot edit it in any way after a new install nor find it for edit from another machine (like my laptop).
The whole idea of this "basic" software was that we users don't need to be "savvy". But this takes savvy to a whole new level.
I recommend you, find some freeware or just buy a decent app, that actually allows you to download the website into it (like the Netscape Communicator's built-in webpage editor used to do). It allowed the user to save the currently loaded webpage, edit it, and publish it properly.
Good luck to us all.

How do I work on previously published websites on my new computer?

I recently purchased a new iMac and have a few published websites on my old computer using iWeb. I tried to use migration assistant to transfer the data, but haven't had any luck. I want to work on my websites on the new computer, but iWeb looks blank like I don't have any published sites. Any ideas on how to transfer the information from old iWeb to new system

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What you need to transfer are the domain.sites2 file(s) from the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the old computer to the same location on the new computer. That will get you up and running on the new computer.

Can't find my published website

Hi,
After creating my dreamweaver website, i clicked on 'manage sites' and under 'remote info' for my site, i selected 'local/network' access to publish to the web. Beforehand, i followed instructions to start the macintosh web server 'Apache'.
I was a bit confused as to which folder to select as my remote folder. I clicked on the folder icon and chose the same folder i am using as my local folder. I'm not sure if this was right.
Now where is my published website? If i go to Apple - System Preferences - Sharing and click on either of the addresses i was given when i turned web sharing on, my website doesn't appear as i predicted it would.
What am i doing wrong? Please help. Thanks,
Erin.

Hello Erin
Remote info is the section of site management you use to tell DW where you live site is. So in my sites, thats where I put my host details for FTP. If you are using Apache on your own PC you need to look at the Testing Server.
This tutorial is listed in the forum FAQ page and will tell you what you need to know. If you have Apache set up on you machine you could skipp to page 5 where there's a section on settin up DW to use your installation.
I hope that helps

How to recreate an already published site from a saved copy....

I recently lost a drive and was only able to salvage my documents folder in which I had saved a copy of an already published iWeb site. How do I relink these files? The site is fully funktional and I have all the files on the same computer...I've reinstalled the app..Now what???
PowerBook 17' Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The file that you need is in your domain.sites file, it lives here:
User / Library / Application Support / iWeb / Domain.sites
If you dont have this file, then you cannot do anything other than start again, maybe copy paset from the published site.
All you need to do is put your old domain.sites file in the location above and open iWeb.
You may need to create the /iWeb folder, to do this open iWeb, add a page, any page and then Quit iWeb. This creates a domain file in the /iWeb folder and tells iWeb where to look for it. Delete this new domain file and replace it with your old one.
