Cannot publish to IWeb

I've created my website, with two additional pages. Will not publish. I've tried every step in the troubleshooting iweb forum technical notes. This has gone on all day. Any suggestions?

When iWeb tests the connection, it tries to write a file on the server.
When the test succeeds, iWeb is happy. That does not mean it is the right location to publish your website. It only test if it can write.
Simply connecting to the server with Terminal app or any app does not mean you can write there or that you end up in the right location.
Usually the pathname is the cause of the failure.
So check the pathname field.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Cannot publish from iWeb 08 after upgrading to Leopard

    When I click on Publish from iWeb I first get a window .Mac Information asking me to login and a smaller window saying "logging in to iWeb". I click on sign in button from .Mac Information window and then get the System Preferences window telling me I am signed in and giving me my account status. From here nothing happens. The "logging into iWeb" message stays and nothing happens.
    What should I do?

    Thanks and Merry Christmas to you too! I have experienced both modem/network problems and was unable to publish in Tahiti and Cook Islands because of that and now these problems which have nothing to do with network it seems - so yours may or may not be network related. I was able to cheat and copied my "Site" folder from my hard drive to my iDisk rather then publishing. I can't remember if you've tried this or not (read a lot of strings today) but you can publish to a folder and then copy that folder to your iDisk at /Web/Sites/iWeb/Site as "Site" after first renaming the one that is out there now. Let me know if you have any questions on how to do it. It sounds like you are traveling like we are and anxious to communicate with friends and family back home. When you are bored, our site is web.mac.com/baganworldtour.
    At least we now have our first update out there in two weeks. But it took almost two hours to copy the folder and this won't work forever. Hopefully we, whether by the discussion room or .mac support next week, will be able to fix the problem for real.
    Thanks. Good Luck. Merry Christmas

  • Cannot publish from iWeb to .Mac, Help please!

    I am trying to publish to my site from here in Australia. I was able to publish in the country at the beggining of the trip, but can not now. I get the message "Publish Error - an error occurred while publishing file /Web/Site/iWeb/Site/Blog". I had updated two blog entries and changed the date on an entry. Since then in trying to fix the issue I deleted both of those entries. I have been through .mac support troubleshooting steps to ensure it is not a network error. I have been able to publish to a folder, but when I try to copy the Blog folder from that folder to my iDisk I get "The Finder cannont complete the operation because some data in "" could not be read or written (Error code -36)". Since then they asked that I try to publish from a trial .Mac account or from a new OS X user account on my machine. Both of those attempts failed as well, which they say indicates it's not a .mac account or OS X user set up issue. They asked that I put a copy of my domain file out in the public drive for them to look at, but when I try to do that it goes through and does the copying and then freezes at "Copying Domain.zip to Public, Copied 599.5MB of 599.5MB (Closing file...) - Please wait". Then I get the same error code -36 and am disconnected from iweb. Can anyone out there help please?
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Cannot publish new password protected sites to MobileMe using iWeb

    Recently been getting the familiar iWeb error messages when publishing from iWeb to mobile me:
    "There was an error updating MobileMe"
    "An error occurred while publishing file '/Web/Sites/Sites.rss"
    "Publish error: An unknown error occurred"
    Did all the troubleshooting stuff detailed here - problem persists.
    Today, tho', I've just noticed that these errors *only occur when I'm trying to publish a new password-protected site or trying to apply password-protection to an existing unprotected site*.
    It works just fine when publishing a site which is not password-protected. It is also possible to modify an existing password-protected site without any trouble.
    There's nothing odd about the passwords - all legal characters etc.
    It would be better for me and my users if I could have password protection on my sites. Without passwords, I'm left relying on 'security by obscurity' - not ideal.
    What can I do?

    You could split up your single Domain file into several Domain files each containing a group of sites. You'll have to duplicate (via Finder) the Domain file usually located here:
    ...and then double-click one of the copies to open it in iWeb. Then delete the site(s) you don't need from it. Repeat the process until you have a more manageable group of Domain files each containing several (or just one) site(s). Note that this process is not easily reversible, i.e. merging Domain files. Read more in Chapter 2 here:
    http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebMultiplewebsites.html
    With "many, many sites", this splitting process is not without risk — so before doing anything, don't forget this:

  • 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?

  • Do not have privileges to save and publish on iWeb :(

    I am a newer employee at my company and we publish podcasts. Unfortunately, my iMac account can not publish to iWeb. Here are the messages I recieve when I try to publish... first:
    SAVE FAILED
    You do not have permission to make changes to that file
    Then it says:
    PUBLISH ERROR:
    An Error occured while publishing "The File name"
    What is the problem? I also cannot save the uploaded podcast either. I have talked to the Mac people and they are stumped... they tell me I have to remove and reinstall Mac OSX, wiping out my hardrive in process.
    I was able to post podcasts on the previous employee's account on this computer, but I had to clear out all of the old podcasts (thanks to a tech support mistake) to do so, and I am fearful of having that happening again. Thanks

    Have you set the .Mac preferences in your System preferences to the other account and the correct password?

  • 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.

  • How to publish from iWeb to two different .mac accounts

    my household has two separate .macs account and we want to publish from iWeb to the two different accounts which I cannot figure out. thanks

    I discovered I could duplicate Domain.sites2 (~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2). I named one "Domain de.sites2", and the other "Domain daru.sites2". Then I opened daru's site and deleted de's, then I opened de's and deleted daru's, and I have two separate sites (with aliases in the dock) that I presume I'll be able to upload separately. Once I get .Mac sub groups created...
    If it works, it saves the hassle of creating other user accounts, since only my wife and I use the computer. Right now, .Mac is telling me I can't create a sub account in my wife's name because she already has a .Mac ID (and a two month free trial account she had to agree to, to join the group) for a group site I manage. I don't think she ought to be required to have a separate identity every time she logs into .Mac.

  • 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
