Can't visit site from iWeb

I have a website hosted by iPage.  Previously I have had no problems using iWeb to publish to it.  This week I hit a bunch of glitches which iPage has finally sorted out and I have successfully published changes to my site.  However, now, when I try to visit the site directly from iWeb, it duplicates the name twice in the browser window and so the page is not found.  If I go through google I can get there and the changes are there, so that's cool.  iPage insists this is an iWeb issue and my settings are correct.  Why is iWeb pointing me to a page where the the site name shows up twice in the browser window?  This seems to me to be a simple settings issue somewhere.  I have emptied the cache on Safari.  any ideas?

Provide the URL of the website.
If the url is something like :
www.domainame.com/sitename/sitename/pagename.html
it means that the first sitename is part of the pathname in the iWeb settings. Not wrong if you want that, but wrong if you don't  want it. iWeb publishes where you tell it to publish.
So go to the server to see what's really there. Then you know from firsthand experience, instead of what iPage tells you.

  • I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?

    I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?
    I started creating my site on a PB 15", but when I'm home I like the speed of my iMac and I'd like to continue the editing process on my iMac but I can't find the files that iWeb saves.
    I'd ideally like to save my site on my 30gig iPod using it as a hard drive between both. I would love for this to happen but I can't find the files saved by iWeb. Is this even possible?
    I've even tried linking my PB to my iMac via firewire as a hard drive. No Luck.
    Please Help . . .

    I think iWeb only recognizes the 'domain.sites' file so while you can set up more than one site, they are in the same project.
    Of course, the workround is to move the domain.sites file out of the default location, which them makes iWeb create a new one. You can then work on any number of projects, only moving the correct file into the default location for work on each one. Not elegant by any means, but until someone suggests a better way (or Apple produce a more flexible version of the software) it works fine that way.

  • Help I deleted my site from iweb

    I was working on a new site and deleted my other site from iweb hoping I could find it again, is there any way to recover this site?

    Not unless you have a backup of your Users folder.
    If you publish to .mac, DON'T publish your new site until you have copied the folders in the Web>Sites>iWeb folder in your iDisk to another location. Publishing your new site will delete your previous site from your iDisk.
    Once you have done this, you can move the folder for your first site to the Sites folder in your iDisk, and will be accessible through home page until you can rebuild the site. (If you can/want to do this, feel free to post back for more detailed instructions)

  • Can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking and "open in a new tab". Whan's wrong?

    Hi.
    After some regular updates I can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking on it and "open in a new tab". Have this problem also on my PC and a notebook. (Win 7 & Win 8). Didn't add any new add-ons lately, seems like they all work well.
    My Mozilla Firefox is ver 31.0
    How this problem can be fixed?
    Thank you.

    hello, the easiest way to find out if the problem might be caused by an interfering addon is to launch firefox in safe mode once...

  • Desktop & Laptop:  Published from Laptop, can't see site on iWeb Laptop

    Can you all please help or clarify? I have a laptop and a desktop. I published my site from my laptop from iWeb. But, when I login to iWeb from my desktop, I can't see the site in the sidebar.
    How do I correct this?
    As a note, I used to have a personal domain on my desktop publishing to iWeb which I've removed, but the old site is all I see.
    Thanks so much in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you trying to visit the pubished site with the desktop or edit the site?
    If you want to work on the site with your desktop computer you'll need to copy the Domain.sites2 file from the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the laptop to the same folder on the desktop. Then open iWeb on the desktop.
    If you only want to visit the published site from the desktop you'll need to enter the URL for the site into the desktop's browser window. It would be http://web.me.com/NanaCarol/
    If you plan on using both computers to edit and publish the site you'll need to have a way of moving that one Domain.sites2 file back and forth between the two computers. And always have a backup of it.

  • Can't visit site after upload to mobileMe

    I just uploaded my first site to MobileMe from iWeb. When I click the visit button all I get is the page can't be found error

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the File->Visit Published site menu option. The drop down visit button often does not work correctly.
    If that doesn't work try this URL: http://web.me.com/YourMobileMeAccount/.
    Next do a File->Publish Entire Site to MobileMe and see if that will jump start the site.
    You can check the server directly in the Finder by mounting your iDisk and going to the iDisk/Web/Sites folder to see if your website folder is there along with an index.html file.

  • How to manage two sites from iWeb

    Hi all
    I've built two different sites with iWeb, my personal site which goes to my .mac server and publishes there, no problem. I now have built another site for my girlfiends family business, and theirs will go to a differente host and server.
    The problem I have is that I have both sites now open, each with their own individual pages, etc (they both appear on the left column as headers), but I can't seem to isolate them for publishing purposes. In other words, I'd like to publish my site to .mac, and my girlfriends site to my hard drive for eventual upload to their server.
    When I go to publish, whether I select .mac or my hard drive (publish to another folder) it selects both sites at the same time, I.e. I can't publich them individually.
    The problem is that I end up with a copy of my personal webpage files on my hard drive, and a copy of their webpage files on my .mac!
    A further problem I see is that this publishing process creates just one index.html file, for both pages. So how can I use this html file to point it to their domain??
    Appreciate the help, thanks
    J

    J:
    To add another method to the mix here's how I manage multiple sites. Although they all go to my .Mac account this method can let me post any of them to any other server as I see fit.
    One way to handle multiple sites is to use iWebSites. 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.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want to where I want.

  • Can't stop site from loading 8.02

    CCan't stop site from loading

    YYour post is quite confusing and keeps those from trying to help from doing so. People here can only guess at what you mean. I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

  • Saved and published updated website, changes not saved in iweb.  Have lost all work in iweb but correct site is on the internet.  Can I retrieve site from internet and replace to iweb so can continue updating?

    Just finished updating web site, saved and published.  Showed up on the internet finr, went back to do a few tweeks and all my days work is gone!  Fine on the net gone in iweb!  I don't want to loose the days work.  Is there any way to get the website from the internet and stuffit back into iweb, without redoing all the work?  Why didn't it save?  Wjat can I do to prevent this happening again?  Where did I go wrong?

    Publish you site to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser.  Check to see if the site is all there.  If not
    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    launch iWeb and publish to the folder again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • Can't open site in iweb HELP

    iweb opens and the bar opens saying loading site, but nothing happens. When you click on file all the options are greyed out. Tried opening the domain (from library/application support/iweb ) of the site but still nothing happens.
    Does anyone have any idea of how to open my site? Have tried everything i can think of.

    Sarah ~ Welcome to the discussions. The following trick has worked for some:
    Quit iWeb. Start iPhoto. Select a couple of photos, click on the iWeb icon at lower right and choose Photo Page. iWeb will open up and invite you to choose a template for your new Photos page. Choose any template so that the page is created and then delete that newly created page.
    ...Then perhaps things are no longer greyed out in iWeb.

  • How to move sites from iWeb 1.x to iWeb 2.x

    I just moved from an iMac G5 to the new Mid 07 Core 2 Duo aluminum.
    I copied my user documents via network - as I did not have a firewire cable handly to do the full conversion.
    However, iWeb 2 does not find my iWeb 1.x sites.
    How to I port those over?
    Where are the data files stored on the Mac (beisde the iDisk)?

    You should find them under ~/Library/Application Support/iweb/
    The default name is domain.sites. YOU SHOULD BACK THIS FILE UP. You can simply make a copy and rename it. When you open iWeb 2.0, it will upgrade your domain.sites to a domain.sites2 file, and your old file will be gone. A lot of us have been having major problems upgrading sites, so keep the old file around. Back it up and put it somewhere you won't click on it.
    Apple just came up with an iWeb 2.0.1 upgrade which is supposed to fix some upgrade problems, but I am still having difficulties. In addition, the website I was working on in iWeb 2.0.0 is now missing lots of files when opened in iWeb 2.0.1
    Also, in both versions of iWeb 2, the navigation bar cannot be viewed by visitors using Internet Explorer (see many other threads).
    In short, I would hold off on upgrading if I were you, until further software updates.

  • Removing a site from iweb

    My computer recently crashed and I am trying to rebuild my iweb site. I recreated my blog and welcome page and published them and they published under me.com instead of mac.com (obviously because of the new mobile me). My problem is my old site is under mac.com and there is a page I want to take down but can't access since it was on my old hard drive. I thought making the new page and publishing it might override it but it is not. Any suggestions as to how to remove that mac.com site? I still see the pages on my idisk. Thanks in advance for your help.

    There is a page I want to take down. I see the pages on idisk. I just deleted the page from idisk.
    Glad to see you figured it out.
    I also figured it out for someone one new year and it was a lot of fun

  • Can't import site into iWeb

    I just updated one of my machines to Mountain Lion as a clean install, and i installed iWeb because that's what I created my website in. I had copied the saved file (Domain.sites2) from my other computer, and tried to open it in the ML iWeb, but it won't open like it does on my 10.6 machine. What's going on? I hardly use the 10.6 machine anymore, and will be using this one more, so i need tog et this to work. Thanks

    Try this:
    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
