Can I post an Iweb blog on a non-.mac server.  I.e. Goddady?

When I try to post an I web blog to my Godaddy account the blog does not display. I know the apple materials state that comments and searching options will not work but as far as I can see there is nothing about it not working at all.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Please provide your url. Perhaps you have not uploaded all the required files. Check Safari > Window > Activity to see if something is marked missing.

  • Can you post Web-Gallery to a non .Mac server?

    iPhoto 08 and web gallery look pretty neat.
    Do you have to post the Web Galleries to .Mac or can you use a different server.
    Would like to continue post our college sports photos to our campus (OS X) server using web-gallery.

    Jack, I don't think you can post web galleries to a non .Mac server. There seems to be a lot of support behind the scenes that makes Web Gallery work as it does. Normal HTML doesn't work like that.
    What you could do, which would bring some of the reflections-on-black look, is send the photos to iWeb and use the export HTML option (not sure what it's called) in the File menu to create a gallery that you could host on a non-.Mac server. It wouldn't look exactly the same but you'd get whatever is possible without the .Mac-supplied functionality.

  • Using unix 'diff' command to publish iweb to non .mac server

    It is a common problem that you can't upload incremental changes to a website a web server that is not a .mac. Recently I found that the unix (shell) 'diff -qr' works nicely for this.
    However I can't seem to get this to work in automator. That is where I need some help.
    What I did :
    I have an iweb website in my directory
    Documents/website
    I made a second directory where I store my uploaded version of the website:
    Documents/websiteonserver
    Using a shell script I want to compare the differences between these two directories using the diff command in a shell script. When I run 'diff -qr websiteonserver website' in a terminal window, it gives a nice overview of which files are changed and which ones are new. When workin with iWeb this saves me a lot of time uploading my homepage to a non .mac server. I can only upload the changed files, which is usually only a few. Diff does not look at timestamps (which are useless in the iweb case) but it actually looks into a file and with the -q option it stops when it finds a difference. With the -r added (-qr) it also looks through all subdirectories and compares files with the same name.
    I like to automate this process so that my wife can update our family homepage with just one mouseclick (or as few as possible)
    Unfortunately the diff command in automator gives an error, and there's no info on why it does this.
    The commands I gave:
    cd Documents
    diff -qr websiteonserver website
    (using PWD i verified that the path is correct like this). The only stumbling block for automator seems to be the diff command. Anybody any suggestions on this?
    The next challenge is to take the diff output and use that to upload only changed/new files to a ftp server.
    Any help / ideas are welcome
    Greetings,
    Adriaan

    Dear Cyclosaurus,
    I used a single command as us specified. It really helped to add the path to the directories I wanted to compare. So now at least I got it two work partly:
    It seems to work only if I compare two files. Comparing directories still does not work. Maybe diff generates some kind of error code when doing this??? It does not do that in the shell.
    If I compare all files in directories + subdirectories , the workflow does not work. It seems as if it only accepts a single output line or so from the diff function. If there is more output (or maybe some newline character) the workflow halts. Very peculiar.
    mmm.... I will try to make a shell script which I can run in automator. In the script file I will then generate a txt file. Then the automator can run the script and then it can open the resulting file in a text editor. See if that works.
    mmm nope. I made a script like this:
    #!/bin/bash
    diff -qr ~/Documents/websiteon_theserver/ ~/Documents/website/ > ~/Documents/logfile.txt
    I modified the atributes to executable and I could run it from the command line. The logfile.txt was created and has the correct info. I could not run it from automator...
    I did copy the last line from the script into automator. And also there it does create the logfile, but the automator still says there was an error and stops.
    maybe I should try Applescript, were it not that I am totally clueless on that language...

  • Why can't Apple make 'publish changes only' for non .mac users?

    The recent iWeb update to 1.1 and the now increasingly obvious differential between .mac and non .mac features has prompted me to post here today.
    I can understand comments, passwords and search facilities being a .mac only experience because it requires server side technology. I can also understand that .mac users get enhanced features like slideshows as well.
    But why is the fundamentally *basic* option to 'publish the changes only' not available to non .mac users?
    I know uploading to .mac uses a different protocol to uploading via FTP, but I don't think it is about that. Obviously the software engine in iWeb 1.1 can now track the pages that have changed, and flag those for uploading. So if the facility to do this is not available with non .mac uploading, is this some form of crippleware? Can any software engineers comment on this or am I talking off the top of my head? [And please mods, don't delete this post - I use the word 'crippleware' in its harshest form, clearly I can still use iWeb to make fantastic websites - I am asking a technical question here.]

    OK, from reading this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=486335&tstart=0
    There is a pattern: An error occurred while publishing file “/blah/blah", while file "/blah/blah" seems to be random from one person to the next, but they all share one thing and that is communication protocol.
    For iWeb to be able to publish changes to .Mac, it has to:
    1. identify if the file exists
    2. do the following:
    2a. if not exists, copy it to .Mac
    2b. if exist, do some sort comparison - CRC checksum -
    2b1. if checksums match, don't copy
    2b2. if checksums don't match copy it to .Mac
    At least I think that's what going on, I don't have .Mac so that is best I can think of. Perhaps, some Apple SW engineers can jump in here.
    Now, the bad part is iWeb has to (and I'm assuming iWeb uses WebDAV):
    1. go thru each file locally
    2. crawl its way into .Mac (WebDAV is a slow protocol) to find the the counter part.
    3. when it finds a file that matches a client side file, it has to (some how) do checksum on-the-fly across the net work (which is slow and congested)
    #3 is I think where it failed, there are many factors here: 1) networks congestion 2) latency 3) protocol overhead 4) checksum calculation time etc...
    iWeb eventually times out because any/all of the above.
    It's nice that WebDAV can author to the host yada, yada, but it's so SLOOOOOW.
    What I would do is for every publishing, I would build a files and their checksums keep it on the host (or local, must be hidden).
    For subsequence publishing, I would (use a fast protocol like FTP) download this pre-built files/checksums list. Locally, do a full publishing, making checksum comparison, the result is delta changes; upload only those. Build a new files/checksums list upload that too.
    What I mean to say is offload everything that is possible to local machine, bandwidth is PREMIUM!

  • Flashback - can SL mount really really old CD volumes (non-Mac)

    The short answer is NO - but I'm wondering if there is a work around?
    Back in the days of System 9 and before a program called "Access PC" from Insignia was able to mount DOS and other non-Mac Data formatted discs on a Mac. I have a few such CDs and wondering if there is a modern day counterpart to this - or "Mount Everything", another handy tool from those days that helped read any type disc.
    In some cases, the volumes we have may not even be DOS...but proprietary data. Still, data is data, yes? they can be copied in Toast - but not seen.

    Looking into it further, one I have appears formatted as "Partition Type : CDROM_Mode1"
    Probably not helpful, but even Toast cannot mount it - only make copies. I guess that will have to suffice. The thought was to be able to consolidate and backup this old data onto another format, DVD, HD, etc.

  • Can time machine backup to a folder on a non-mac server?

    Our company has a server. I can make a folder on the server with my name on it. Can I back up my HD to the folder, or do I have to back up to a drive or a Time Capsule?

    From what I can remember the drive has to be formatted in Mac Journaled

  • Can't post comments to Blog site

    Since .Mac switched to Me.com, I cannot see comments on my blog site.
    I can post/publish to the site from iWeb and others have said they can post comments (using Firefox, but not Safari). But when I go to view the comments, I get an error message:
    # Exception: TypeError
    # Message : Value undefined (result of expression postLinks.forEach) is not object.
    # File : Comments.js, Line:138
    I have not done anything differently in how I'm publishing the page.
    I am using Safari 3.1.2 to view the site.
    I am using iWeb '08 2.0.4 to publish the site.
    I have also tried to use Firefox (3.0.1) to see the comments, and get this error message:
    # Exception: TypeError
    # Message : postLinks.forEach is not a function
    I can see the comments if I open iWeb and read down the page. I cannot post comments using iWeb though.
    Any ideas?

  • Add comment error - can't post entries to blog

    I helped my daughter create a website with a blog page for a school project. I've used the iWeb inspector to allow comments and images. It worked during an early publish to but the add comment no longer works. A box opens now that reads "This entry no longer exists. The entry may have been moved or deleted." Her project is now due for school and the blog won't work. Any help would be appreciated. I am posting via .Mac.

    The error occurs when accessing the site via the web. Site access is fine and all pages but the blog work. I haven't been doing the captial W, but I would think that would just keep me from finding the site - I'll try it though. On the post-publish comment, I've certainly updated the site as it was built. So if I change the website at all and re-publish, it disables commenting? Can I get commenting back or do I have to build the site from scratch? Thanks.

  • How can I update my iWeb blog from multiple computers/iPhone/iPad?

    I want to be able to update my iWeb website and blog when I am not at home.
    I tried making a copy of the iWeb folder from the Library folder. This did not work.
    How I wished it would work......
    iWeb should work like Aperture, and iPhoto. I mean when I am at a friends computer I can open Aperture with my files and not theirs by choosing the Library file initializing the software. Why can't iWeb be configured to do this?
    Is there a way to update iWeb created websites when away from my home computer?

    ...is a free, cross-platform, remote desktop system that you can use to access your Mac from almost any system. You could log in to LogMeIn, open iWeb and edit & publish your site remotely via your home system. Note that LogMeIn is downloaded only to the Mac you want to remotely control — your office computer needs nothing new. See HERE.
    ...for iPhone and iPod touch provides instant one-click access to your LogMeIn computers, directly from your Apple device. Make your iPhone or iPod touch an extension of your work or home computer:
    • Use a program that's on your office computer
    • View a photo on your home desktop
    • Help a friend troubleshoot his or her computer
    • All from the palm of your hand, from wherever you are.

  • Can't post comments to Blog after MobileMe push

    My blog will not allow anyone to post comments now, since the MobileMe migration. When you click "add comment" it brings up the MobileMe migration page with info on MobileMe. I believe that I have set up everything necessary on my computer for MobileMe, so how do I get the blog to quit directing to this page? I have two autistic children, and I use this blog for their therapists to post comments about their daily therapy sessions - I really need to get this fixed QUICK! Also, when publishing the blog, I get an error message at the very end - "error publishing" - but everything is visible like it published successfully. Thanks for any help.

    It is not just the Blogs, my Photos pages won't allow comments either. I just started with iWeb a couple of weeks ago and it took me a while to discover that the comments feature was not working. Made me feel kind of foolish, I had asked some friends to check out my site and then was a little perturbed that they hadn't posted any comments.
    I would hate to try setting up on another site as I like the basic simplicity of iWeb.
    Does anybody know of anything else as easy to use? I'm in the trial period and if this doesn't get fixed I definitely will not be continuing.

  • Where can I find a users blog web page on the server?

    I know I can access the blog from the internet (http://myserver.com/users/username). I have a link on our web site set up for surfers to access this blog. I want to add a last updated line but the code [updated: <!--#flastmod virtual="http://mysever.com/users/username/" -->] obviously won't work because I need the actual web page name. Just what is this name? Where can I find it?

    There is no file, so you can't use this approach.
    The blog content is written in a database format, and the page is built dynamically when it's requested pulling the latest content from the database.
    The #flastmod will only look at the filesystem and return the modification date of a file.
    In order to get the modification date of the blog (i.e. the most recent post), you're going to have to query the database, which can't be done with a server-side includes tag.

  • Can anyone post an overview of the permissions of the server folder

    I saved the server data on an external drive.
    I accidently cut off the power source. All services had failures since then.
    So I thought I could repair it if I would just restore the whole system from the TM Backup from a time before the cut off.
    All services do work now except Mail, Profile Manager and Wiki.
    So I stopped Mail again, deleted all its data from the server folder(s) and restored it manually from TM.
    Now I have huge permission problems. How can I fix this? I don't know how the permissions should be? Can anyone tell me, please?!

    Hello jschell,
    thank you for your answer.
    let me try to clarify question with a few more facts about that what i want to do.
    I saw a example where the .dll file wich should be uses has been made available with:
    System.loadLibrary("XTapi");<<and the methods that are used has been declared with:
    private native int initTapi();<< for exampleWhat i want to do is, to access the methods of tapi32.dll file of windows in the same way, but there is nowhere to find a documentation about this file.
    You have a JNI library and you are not the owner or at least you do not have the source code.
    The JNI methods in the dlls cannot be accessed via java in any other manner than what the java code of the library already does. That is because the C signature of the name depends on the java package and class names.
    As I noted you can find the methods of the dll. You could, with a LOT of work reverse engineer the dll.
    So,can anybody tell me weather there is a way in JNI to get more Informations about the methodes in that file?As I already said, there are OS specific tools that allow you to determine at least the name of the method. I suspect that is all the information that exists.

  • Background picture missing when post at non .mac-server

    Hi, I am new at this so you have to excause me if I ask stupid qustions.
    I’ve just made a homepage using Iweb. When published at:
    http://web.mac.com/katamaleegarden/ it looks the way I want it to look, when published at:
    http://maleegarden.com the background picture isnt there. What have I done wrong?
    MiniMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Welcome to the discussions, Malee.
    It looks like the problem is the name of that image (and one other image on your page AND other images on other pages). .Mac can handle names like these
    http://web.mac.com/katamaleegarden/iWeb/7CDA7829-0DE9-11DC-AD00-000D93787A30/Ima ges/balkongfontän1-2.jpg

    But when you post those to another server, they become
    balkongfontän1-2.jpg
    Orkidé8-1.jpg
    The easiest way around it is to change those names so that they don't use any special characters, like
    balkongfontan1-2.jpg
    Orkide8-1.jpg
    If you go back through and change your image file names so that they don't have those characters, you shouldn't have a problem with missing images on these pages either:

  • Adding .mac blog to established non- .mac website

    Hi, I just purchased a new mac. It has been twenty years since I used one. Overwhelmed with all I need to learn. I would like to know if it is possible to add a .mac blog to my website that exists already that was created by a web designer who used Front Page software.
    I would like viewers of my site to connect ot the blog I am attempting to create on IWeb.
    Also, is it possible to customize the background of the blog or am I limited to the choices it gives me?
    I apologize for sounding like I don't know what is going on, but I really don't and any help is most appreciated. Thank you! like the wind

    Hi Roddy, Thank you for your time and answer, it was helpful. I know this is probably beyond the scope of this discussion, but is there a standard way to 'linking' a blog to a site, or do I need to learn "Front Page," the software that created my original website?
    I appreciate your time!
