Can i publish a site to an external server?

Hi,
I love iWeb and the simplicity of creating websites but I have an issue with the speed of the Apple servers. All the pages seem to load so slow. Can I therefore create a site using iWeb, but publish it to my own external dedicated server which is much faster?
Thanks in advance,
Greg

The .Mac server is pretty slow at the moment so I guess 90% of the servers out there are faster than .Mac's. So publishing to a server other than .Mac makes the website loading faster yes. It doesn't help if you publish to folder and then put it into .Mac.
Regards,
Cédric

I can't publish my site to a local folder.

I can't publish my site to a local folder. It says "Publish Error. An unknown error occurred". There is also no Domain.site2 in iWeb folder in Application Support. I was wondering if anybody may be able to help please? I can open the site from the local folder but working on changes will not work and some catagories don't show properly. I'm using Snow Leopard, iWeb 3.0.4. OS X 10.6.8

Are you looking in the correct library. You want the Home () /Library/Application Support folder.
Or you can download and run the shareware Find Any File to search for "domain.sites2". FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't and will find the domain file.

URGENT HELP PLEASE!!! iweb is refusing to publish my site to my FTP server

HELP!!! iweb is refusing to publish my site to my FTP server. I've tried Filezilla, Panic Tramsmit to upload my iweb created site to my ftp server - hosted by Uk-Cheapest - server.microlite5.com.
I've also saved the files to both my hard disc and my idisk and tried uploading from there but it always fails.
can anyone offer any advice as to how i can get my site uploaded to my domain. It's REALLY URGENT!

After publishing to a local folder, double click the index.html file to launch your site in the browser.
If this version is OK then the problem is with FTP.
Make sure that you can login to your host via the browser and also that your publishing settings - Server Address, Username, Password and Directory/Path - are correct.

Can't publish or "put" files to remote server

Dear All,
I can't publish my website to the remote server, even though everything seems to be working properly with connection to the remote server. No error messages and the successful connection message appears. I have emptied out the Safari cache but still do not see the updates appearing on the website. I'm working with Dreamweaver CS5.5 on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Very frustrating.

How can I publish iWeb site in root directory in place of a prior site?

Hi there... I have created a family web site and published it to my .mac account. The problem is that I had previously published another site and that site remains in the 'root' directory of my account. Practically, this means that if anyone types in:
web.mac.com/[username]
... they will get my old site instead of the site i wish them to see... Is there any way I can move my new site so that typing the more simplified 'root' address (above) will bring up the site I wish for them to view?

Do you have both sites in iWeb together? If so, then simply look in the Site Organizer, select the site that you want to come up by the short URL and drag it to the top of the organizer. iWeb will make whatever site is at the top of the Site Organizer the default site. You should probably do a "Publish ALL to .Mac" after doing this so that all the files are in the right place. So once you do this you can access the default site with the short URL http://web.mac.com/yourname and then you can access the second site by using its URL directly... http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/sitetwoname You could also provide links from site one to site two and vice versa to "link" the two sites together.

IWeb error messages -- can't publish large site after upgrade.

I just upgraded to iLife 09 and all of my websites showed up red in the new iWeb - indicating that they needed to be published. I hadn't changed any of them since the upgrade but I figured it was part of the upgrade to republish all of them.
Whenever I try to publish the sites I get the following message:
An error occurred while publishing file “/private/var/folders/pM/pMWBd0yEF04cfDIeAZkuPE+TI/TemporaryItems/com.apple.iWeb7281_TEMP_288612390_15/sites/JW/Things_and_Such_files/shapeimage2.png”. Try publishing again later.
I've tried all the usual suggestions. I threw away the preferences files and cache files for iWeb. I logged out of MobileMe and logged back in. I tried to publish from an older version of my Domain file from Time Machine. If I tell it to publish the site to my desktop then it works just fine. The site that it has problems with creates a 179MB folder on my desktop when I publish to my desktop. The other two sites that I have in iWeb publish perfectly in MobileMe but are not bigger than 3 MB each.
I tried moving parts of the larger site out of it, publishing the significantly shrunken page and then adding the rest back in smaller pieces. It will publish the smaller selection with no problem. It won't let me add the pieces back in, however. IWeb freezes up when I try and I have to reload the previous Domain file from Time Machine.
So, my question is: Is there a limit to the size of site that can be published using iWeb? If so how do I get around this?

Reboot fixed it.

IWeb '08: Can I publish to sites other than .Mac?

I'm new to using a Mac but I was wondering if iWeb can be used to publish to sites hosted by other servers like godaddy or something similar?

Yes. Publish the site to a folder and then upload the files as instructed by the host.

Can't publish my site; keep getting 'Disk Error'

Hi!
After bringing my original site into '08, I can publish the site. Then if I change anything on my blog page or add entry, I get a variety of results. Sometimes it will publish and sometimes I get the message "Disk Error". I've tried starting from my '06 file, updating it and still eventually get this same message. I have run the Disk Utility, pitched the pref file, run Tech Tool Pro and defragged and optimized the hard drive. And then, tried starting from scratch again without being able to publish. I realize that my file is probably damaged, but I want to make sure there is nothing I can do before starting all over on the website since it is large with lots of pix, movies and blogs.
thanks!

Thanks for the sympathy! I do have a question. The damaged file is my primary website. I had separated it from a second website after updating to iWeb 08. The second site publishes fine. I want to keep the URL for the second website exactly as it is because I have forwarding set up with a host other than dotMac. How should I go about setting up a new site?
Thanks for all your help.

How can I publish separate sites to individual MobileMe accounts?

Running iWeb 08 which my husband and I have used to create our own websites. I have my own Mobile Me account and he has his own Mobile Me account. At the moment when either of us update our website we can only publish them both so on my Mobile Me account I have the links and info for his website and vice versa on his Mobile Me account.
Is there a way that I can we can publish only our own websites to our own Mobile Me accounts?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The easiest way I can see is to each of you have your own account on the Mac. That way each can publish to their own MMe account. Copy the domain.sites2 file to each account. Open the file and delete the site that is not for that particular MMe account. Do the same in each Mac account.

How can I publish two sites separately?

I want to publish a new site, but every time I do it, the old is the same folder than the new one.
My question is: how can I publish them separately?
Regards.

I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Same is happening here but i have a Mac Mini server hosting locally the website.

I need help!I can´t publish my site through FTP

Hi there,
I have recently bought the domain for my site www.jonayvane.com at startlogic.com. I have the account information and password necessary but when I publish the site and i go to "see my site" the URL displayed is http://www.jonayvane.com/www.jonayvane.com_ and I get a 404 error page not found. I have tried not entering a site name for the site so that the second "www.jonayvane.com_" will not appear but I still cant get it to publish because Iweb makes me give it a sight name. I have tried reading similar problems on the forum but I don't quite understand the solutions given and most people have at least already managed to publish their site, which I haven't. At present I am only loading a basic "home" page so I at least don't have to wait for a couple of hours to try out a different option.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks a ton,
Jonathan.

Do not compound problems by creating other problems.
First do it the default way. With a sitename iWeb creates by default.
Did you enter the info to connect to the server correctly :
Servername (probably ftp.jonayvane.com)
Username
Password
According to your Host's tutorial I understand you can leave the Path/Directory field empty.
Give it a try.
