Can't publish my iWeb site - has index file something to do with it?

Hi, I've been trying to publish my iWeb site (not on a .Mac account but through ftp upload) but it hasn't worked out so far... I phoned my webspace provider's support service and the wguy I spoke to was convinced that it's due to the index file not being an .html file (he thought that the problem lies with the index.xml.gz file). Searching the discussions on this site, I figure that this isn't what's causing the problem after all...
To continue working on the site while using another computer, I copied the 'Domain' over. Now that I've brought it back to the original computer, it seems to be causing these problems. Any idas what I could do or where the problem lies? I'd be really grateful for any hints as it's driving me 'round the bend! Cheers, A

Did you name any of your site's pages "index"? That can cause problems.
Are you able to publish your site to afolder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser? If you haven't tried do so and see if you can. If you can and the site works as you designed it then the issue is in the uploading of the files.
In that case you might try using Cyberduck to upload your site folder and index.html file to your server.

Living in Brasil can I publish my iWeb site on a foreign hosting site?

Hello folks,
I have a web site developed with iWeb and presently published in a hosting site in Brasil, but I am unhappy with such hosting site for several reasons, the main one is that it doesn't "speak" iWeb and Apple language, making almost impossible to update my site, but also, their cost and Customer Services aren't good.
Mobileme ends today and iCloud won't host iWeb sites, so I wonder if other, iWeb friendly sites, not located in Brasil, or even Brazilian ones, would host my site?
Thanks in advance Paulo

You can host your website with a host from any country. The only thing you may run into may be the added cost of telephone support. Most of the larger webhosts also provide pretty good instant chat or email support. I have not actually had to call my current webhost for any of the minor issues I have ran into. They have been able to solve my issues within quick order via intant chat or email.
I have been using IX Webhosting for several years now with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across.

I can not publish my iweb site to moblie me

I had originally written and published a site with no problems.
However since then I tried to publish my changes and the iweb would show up as "not responding"
I tried other avenues to change my site which at first worked then failed so I deleted the site amd tried to start over thinking that may solve the issue.
It still will not publish merely stops reponding
Just to clarify - I found that I was able to make changes by publishing the iweb to a folder and then uploading the altered files to mobile me. This worked fine to start with but then I added some hyperlinks then uploaded the replacement html pages again - this caused the whole layout to change. This is the reason why I basically deleted the site.
I can still not publish my site now - same problem when I click the publish or publish all it freezes!

Hello Frank,
The good thing of all your efforts is that you could determine the problem to iWeb.

Well, there are at least 2 more well known issues that you didn't verify yet, at least I didn't see it in your post.
i get a portion of the files published only.
This is a clue to these 2 issues: a wrong filename or a problematic widget.
Go back in history to the point where you had your last successful 'Publish'
Have a good look at the filenames of the pages you created since then.
Is a very big chance there is a "wrong" character in the name or 2 spaces..
With a little bit of luck, when you do a Publish, you can see iWeb hanging on the name
of the problematic page (not always).
If it isn't the filename, try selectively remove widgets and do a Publish.
The moment Publish works, you've found the villain.
As this tip involves deleting things, make a backup of your domain file first.
Let me know if these tips don't apply to your situation.
I still have one radical solution at hand.
Kind regards,

Where can I publish my iWeb site?

We are creating an iWeb site for our wedding, and we know that MobileMe is no longer accepting new accounts. Where can we publish our site? I've never done this before, so any help is appreciated! Thanks!

If you have internet access it usually comes with some webspace. Check with your ISP.
Or search for : webhosting <name of your community/town/province/country>
Or look in the Yellow Pages. You know, that stack of paper with a yellow wrapper. Old fashioned, but still worth the search.
The world is larger than MobileMe. For some that's terrifying.

it is not possible at all. iCloud has no Gallery, no Website and lacks also lots of other features of MobileMe.
Refer to what has already posted here to find alternatives. iWeb however will continue to work in Lion, so it is not a program issue. You just need to find some ftp hoster that you can use with iWeb.

How can I publish my iweb site using Jumpline as a host? Anyone done it?

My dad has a hosting account with Jumpline and can have an infinite amount of websites with unlimited storage (type of account is no long available fyi), so we have it set up on his end (thanks to help from a true IT guy, but he is a PC IT guy) but now I need to know what to do to publish the site from the iweb end... I am not familiar with ftp or much of anything with hosting and servers, etc. I have the user information, password and a location of where the website is set up at on the Jumpline server but again just not sure how to go about this in iweb. Any help would be appreciated!! I am using iweb v. 3.0.4

Nevermind!! I didn't realize I could use the FTP option for this server - it's publishing right now!

How can I save my iWeb site as an interactive doco for a presentation? It is not published to the net.

That's exactly what you would get. Create a folder with a suitable name: publish to it. Zip it; email it. Tell them to start with the 'index.html' file inside the folder. The rest will follow - they will see it exactly as they would see an online site, links and all.
Note that there is usually a 20MB limit on email attachments so if your site is image-heavy you might have a problem. An alternative is to post it to your webspace - you could post the zipped file and give them a link to it - that will download it (and it's a preferable way of handing a large file anyway, as they can download it at their convenience rather than being forced to in order to get their other mail).

Has anyone published their iWeb site to their old Homepage folder?

Hi,
I'd like to avoid changing URLs, and was thinking I could just publish the iWeb site to the folder my homepage site is in on my iDisk. Would that work? Has anyone done that before? Any issues I should know about?
Thanks for your help!
Lora

Lora. It can be done but not much is to be gained and many features will not work the same as if published to a "folder" and then uploaded to your iDisk.
Do a bit of "homework" and learn some of the rules about iWeb, Homepage and your iDisk.
Changing your URL's is the easy part. Getting all the external parts to work is, well, work.
Plenty of ways to integrate older pages (via external links) into your new iWeb pages.
The brave can edit the html code to make their own iWeb and Homepage Sites:

Can I publish my iWeb 2.0.4 site?

Can I publish my iWeb 2.0.4 site? I designed it, hit "publish" and it went to now-defunct Mobile Me...

I do believe you can publish your website to a folder.
I think (it's been a while since I have used the older version) in the File menu you should have an option to publish site to a folder.
Then you will need to use an FTP application like Cyberduck to upload files to your web host.

Does anybody know if we can publish an iWeb site in iCloud?

I was a member of MobileMe but since it was announced that it will be discontinued I didn't renew my subscription.
So, my question is if, I can publish my iweb site to iCloud?
Please advise.

What happens to the iWeb sites that I’ve published to MobileMe?
You can continue publishing iWeb sites to MobileMe through June 30, 2012, even after moving to iCloud. With iWeb you can easily move a site published to MobileMe to another web hosting service and you should do so before that date. Please read this article for details.

How can I publist my iWeb site to a Windows Server? (FTP is not an option, neither is a Linux server))

So I need to publish my iWeb site to a Windows server on a secure I can't access directly. I believe I need to export my iWeb site to a local folder on my Mac, then transfer those files to the computer that has access to the server.
I tried this earlier today with the tech in charge of the system and we had trouble getting the files uploaded.
I don't get any error messages, the new site simply doesn't show up.
Can anyone offer any help here? I know that iWeb users have had problems uploading to Windows servers, but If you know of specific work-arounds to the problems encountered, please let me know.
Thank you in advance. Any and all help is appreciated!

What ftp programme are you using to upload the site?
Also, where are the files being placed on the server - if they are not in the root folder on the server then they might not show up - (root folder could be anything from "public_html", "www", or "htdocs". This differs on all servers).
Also, when you published the site from iWeb to a local folder did you see all the files that iWeb produces - did you see firstly the Site folder, the separate index file? If you did, did you transfer this folder and file to the computer in question?
When you uploaded the site did you upload the whole site folder? If so, then you also need to upload the separate index file so that it points into the site folder - this needs to sit outside the site folder itself so that it points to the index file in the site folder.
If you don't want to upload like this, then what you can do is simply upload the contents of the site folder instead of the whole folder itself and place all the contents of the site folder - that being all the html file and the resultant css folders for each page to the server instead.

Can I merge an iWeb site into a regular site?

I have an existing site which was not made with iWeb. I've wanted to update it so I decided to use iWeb 08. I'm a bit concerned that when I publish the iWeb site into my old site that things will be written over. Will this be the case? I have a lot of other programs on my old site like php and mysql based things and I can't have those be over-written.
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks for the help. Here's the latest, I changed my Site name to Documents, so that it would match my webserver's information. (I changed my current Documents folder to Documents-bak so I wouldn't destroy it.) I published the new Documents iWeb along with some changes. After publishing, I took a folder with some pdfs in it from my backup and manually copied it to the new Documents folder. Checked the website and everything worked. Then I went back to iWeb, added a new Album, the published it. The folder I copied over was gone....poof!
This leads me to think I should have a splash page under my webserver root directory (/Documents/index.html) that links to /Documents/Site/index.html (with Site being my iWeb site) and leaving all the other items under /Documents. This would prevent the deletion of files that don't relate to iWeb since it is in a different directory.
Sorry if I'm being confusing, for the last 15 years I've built sites with things like Frontpage, Dreamweaver and other programs where I didn't have to worry about this stuff. I love iWeb because the site I'm talking about is my personal site with kids' pictures and it's pretty easy to use.
Question, say I add an album to my iWeb. Do I need to republish the WHOLE site again? I can't find a way to just publish changes rather than the whole site.
Thanks - Tom
