Cannot publish iWeb

Everytime I try to publish my website using iWeb, a window comes up saying "Unable to write to server. Verify your settings and try again"
This has happened consistently since I have moved to iCloud. It was fine up until then.
My settings the way they stand now are:
Server Address: ftp.netfirms.com
User Name: libra-interiors
Protocol FTP
Port 21
URL: http://www.web.mac.com/bkfurtney/Site_1/
What is wrong there???

My domain name will be forwarded to my .mac iweb site
once I furnish an IP address that works.
Sorry, you can't forward to .Mac like that. You need to use the kind of Domain Forwarding where you simply type your .Mac url into a form. No DNS or IP numbers are involved, they don't exist. If the place where you have your domain name does not provide this kind of domain forwarding (some places don't or want to charge extra), you will have to move it to someplace that does.

Cannot publish iWeb to MobileMe after renewal of subscription

Since the renewal date of my MobileMe subscription on December 26, 2010, I have not been able to publish updates to my iWeb site [www.averroespress.com] to MobileMe. A popup message appears asking me to sign in to MobileMe. When I do, the MobileMe Preferences box appears showing me logged in to MobileMe while the iWeb continues as unpublishable. Is this tied to my subscription renewal or is iWeb and MobileMe acting up?
BTW, the subscription payment has not been charged to my Visa. Who should I contact?

I'm having the same exact problem. My renewal date was 12/27/10, my account is active. Spent 3 hours on tech support chat with no solution. Not only can I not publish to Mobileme, I need to know how to change a faulty domain address that shows up on my mobileme account under idisc/sites/iweb/iweb pages, then this message when you click on the page:
http://www.sbcyouthministries.org/Site/Welcome.html This url is not correct. The correct address is www.oneeighysbc.com, as shows in my account settings under personal domain. How do I change this?
I can not publish my iweb site to my mobileme account, only a folder on my mac then to the web. Will this affect syncing from icalendar on my mac to the google calendar on my iwebsite? Does it affect one click web publishing on iweb?

Cannot publish from iweb to iweb website

Had to format hard drive and re-install OS. Suspect domain file is gone? I can see my website on .mac - but it does not show on iweb. when i publish from iweb, it tells me it's been published, but no changes on .mac - any ideas? help!

I have the same problem. I tried your advice but still cannot get iweb to publish. Before I had my computer serviced it worked fine and publishing took place automatically.

I updated to os x 10.8.5 today and now I cannot publish changes to my web page through iweb. iweb crashes every time I try to publish

I updated to os x 10.8.5 today and now I cannot publish changes to my web page through iweb. iweb crashes every time I try to publish

First do the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the 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.
Next, 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 press the Return key - 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.

Suddenly I cannot publish to iweb

Cannot publish to iweb!!!!!
Publishing error says "iweb couldn't connect to MobileMe. Make sure your internet connection works and try again." I have no probs with internet connection.

Try this:
go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
login with a bogus username and password like "Ying" and "Yang". This clears the caches.
login with your correct username and password.
launch iWeb and try again.

Cannot publish on Iweb

I have read several posts on this topic, yet none seem to apply to the basic issue of publishing a site.
Although I have opened an account with mobileme, I cannot publish my site through Iweb. Even though I have previously logged into mobile me, when trying to login to publish, it is continually rejected. It is also unbelievably frustrating not be able to reach anyone for help through mobileme.
Thanks for any assistance

Welcome to the discussions. It may be easier to pinpoint the problem if you give a bit more detail about how you are logging in and what the rejection message says. Here's Apple's video tutorial on publishing to MobileMe:

Are you referring to MobileMe live chat support? ...It's now 24/7 — see this announcement. And this was in another thread:
Just got off of a MobileMe chat regarding this. The technician had me go into System Preferences and log in as "apple" with a password of "test." Once I got the invalid account notification, I logged back on with my user name and password. That seems to have cleared the issue.

"You cannot install iWeb Update on this volume. A qualifying copy of iWeb was not found in /Applications" How do I fix this?

"You cannot install iWeb Update on this volume. A qualifying copy of iWeb was not found in /Applications." How do I fix this?

Version 2.0.4 is iWeb 08 and direct publishing via ftp is not available in iWeb 08 and never has been. You have the option of publishing to MobileMe, but you can publish via ftp, but you need to select the option publish to a local folder instead and then upload using Cyberduck, which is a free and dedicated ftp client.
If you want the inbuilt ftp function, then you will need to upgrade your iLife package to either iLife 09 which contains iWeb 09 or iLife 11, which also contains iWeb 09. For this, you need to purchase both of these packages. Either go to Amazon and try and get a copy of iLife 09 more cheaply or purchase iLife 11 directly from the Apple store.
This is what you will need to do and iWeb 08, which is the version you have, never has had built in ftp so that option will never be available to you unless you upgrade which you will have to pay for. Upgraded and updates are different things. Updates are just your normal run of the mill software updates and address bug fixes etc., whereas you will need to pay for full upgrades to other packages such as from iLife 08 to iLife 09 or 11.

Trying to publsh changes to my website. I get a message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider." I did, and all my settings are correct, but still cannot publish

Any other ideas?

Most likely you are suffering from a bug in iWeb that doesn't let you publish websites if an image you have added to your site begins with space. You can either search for that image and remove it.

Cannot publish: solution found

Hi all. I'm an iWeb/.mac newbie with a trial .Mac account testing whether or not to keep the .mac.
I first fired up iWeb a few weeks ago, then didn't have time to mess with it. Recently, from lack of time to do a photo gallery myself via emacs, and the need to share some pictures, I used iPhoto to put some pictures online on the .mac account.
That worked fine and page was created, that is until I started messing with iWeb trying to add more pages. I had previously published one small/test page just fine, then continuously (weeks) had problems and could not publish. Then 1.1.1 came out, and I still could not publish.
Some of the solutions I tried: editting the Domains.sites package. Deleting the iweb prefs file. Deleting the Domains.sites file. (see group archive for explanations of these methods)
Nothing worked, and I spent hours reading all your helpful messages in this forum and surfing for solutions.
Last nite I finally hit on the problem - an upstream httpd proxy server (squid, on a Firewall). I realized the first iWeb page I had published I did from a Mac at work. The rest I tried doing from home, where the proxy server is. Whenever I tried to publish from home I got the "cannot publish" error. I had mistaken that for .Mac downtime, slowdowns, phase of the moon, you know the drill.
So last nite I turned of the web-proxy here, and lo and behold I now have absolutely no problems publishing (proof: http://web.mac.com/lottadot/ )

With the firewall I'm using it's just a checkbox to enable/disable. YMMV. BTW, Astaro is free for home use. http://astaro.com/

Cannot publish to MobileMe?

Hi guys,
Have used Mobile Me in the past to upload iWeb sites with a movie. Usually no problem, but now it is saying that it has published, but when I try the link it says 'page not found'.
Also when I try to look at previous movie on a PC using Firefox or Internet Explorer, I can see the web page and the movie box, and can hear the audio - but no picture!
Please help - it is driving me mad!!
Stephen

Besides the wrong title of the post "Cannot publish to MobileMe?" (Yes you can) the question is:
why do you publish a wall-to-wall video (1280x720) of 53.2MB and display it as a thumbnail (533x300) on the page?
I exported it for iPhone and now the video is 480x270 and 13,4MB.
but on a pc - just audio, no movie
Might be this : [SOLUTION : Movie NOT playing on Windows PC|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10370447]

Publish iweb on icloud

I made several "websites" on iweb before the conversion from mobile me to icloud. Now I have no way to access them. Even in old emails they just go to a really cute closed sign but I'd really like to have access to all of the products I used to with mobile me.

iCloud cannot publish websites.
You need to republish your website...

...to a new hosting service...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html

Since my school upgraded the Windows server and various bits of software with it, our department has been unable to contact MobileMe, publish iWeb, or contact various other IP's. This seems like a firewall. We have Xserve to Windows server to internet.

Our technicians can't resolove this problem, and our iWeb sites are teacing sites - causing us huge problems because we cannot publish conventionally.
The routeing is laptop/wireless/Xserve/Apache/internet.
Any advice gratefully received.

If anyone is following this and not become bored, and if anyone else has the same problem -
What I have done is as follows: 1. Signed out of my account. 2. Deleted the cache.db from iWeb Cache (don't delete the folder) 3. Deleted the iWeb.plist 4. Cleared the trash and rebooted the machine 5. Signed into the account. 6. Booted the Domain.sites2 file.
Twice this worked and I made a connection and published. But once I closed iWeb, it refused connection again, and got into a loop as follows - boot Domain.sites2, go to Publish site changes, and it asks me to log in. Once logged in, it (iWeb) continues to ask to be logged in.
Next I removed the current Domain.sites2 files, cleared the trash, and reset as above. Then I booted iWeb and it came up with a clean start. Now it would publish without a problem.
I took the old domain to another machine on the same network and tried it, but it had the same problems as before.
I have brought the old domain home and it has published from my machine here without any problem at all. It just did it.
I think that I have shown that the fault is not in iWeb (tried different machines), not in cache or preferences (constantly cleared them out), not in the domain (works perfectly elsewhere).
Our technicians have suggested that it is that the new network system is incompatible with 10.5, and will work with 10.6 as they have tried it on one of their machines and it works. I have tried it on 10.6 on the same network and it doesn't work, so that is nonsense.
You may be able to sense some despair that we have technicians who blame operating systems and who are quite certain that Mac can't network properly. I used to have to work hard to get OS9 to network, but it did.
Any further support or answers gratefully received.

Cannot publish to web gallery

I have a dotmac account and the newest iPhoto '08 fully updated
I cannot publish using web gallery
whenever I try to, I get this error message
"An error occurred while publishing the album "albumname." this is not a valid location for this request.
my dotmac account is programmed into my computer and working just fine in every other way. what's going on here?
help! thank you

David:
How long has this gone on? Have you been able to publish successfully previously? Apple has been having problems with their servers for the last several days. My publishing efforts from iWeb and iPhoto have been sporadic, good one moment and bad a short time later only to get good again. Be sure to post your problem to the .Mac and iPhoto feedback sites:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
http://www.apple.com/feedback/mac/tm.html
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 written 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. 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.
