FTP Publishing Help to my own domain (publish to folder).

So, I'm using iWeb 08 (2.0.4). I've created a website using iWeb and I want to FTP it to my own domain. my domain is skdavisgroup.com and it's hosted by a local company. But, I can't get the site to publish. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Here's what I do:
Saved the site.
Clicked "publish to a folder"
Then I try to FTP the index.html and the saved folder (saved under the name TDG).
So, what next? Do I need to change the name of one of these folders before I FTP?
Do I need to save the file as a different name while working in iWeb?
I can't seem to go to www.skdavisgroup.com and see my site. I'm going nuts.
Thanks.
Steven

OK, I figured it out (FINALLY). I had to create an htdocs folder first.
Thanks!

  • Can you help with the code to publish Flash to my own domain.

    Thank you for your help, I publish the my site to my own domain, I do not use .Mac, I tested your code and ity works well on .Mac, can you help with the code to publish to my own domain.
    Thank you again

    You appear to have just collected a variety of code snippets and thrown them together, including a section of AS2 code ( gage.onRelease = function() {... )
    The suggestion I offered yesterday still stands.  You should find a tutorial regarding AS3 and the atan2 function.  Beyond that, what you show suggests this is a school assignment.  You should seek help from your fellow students and instructor if that is the case.

  • How to publish custom web site with own domain name?

    Hey out there. I wonder if anyone can give me any tips on how to publish a web site with my own domain name.
    I have a web site I'm building and I want to purchase a domain name and then publish the site using that domain name.
    I know how to buy a domain name. I have a .mac account so I'm hoping that .mac can host the site. What I don't quite understand how to do is get .mac to host the site using that domain name. I looked through Apple Support but couldn't find what I was looking for. Just wondering if anyone has been in this situation. Thanks in advance.

    Dave ~ Welcome to the discussions. .Mac was re-branded as MobileMe last July. If you're not building your site with iWeb, it's considered to be a "custom" website. These Apple docs may help:
    MobileMe: How to publish a custom website
    iWeb ’08: Using your own domain name
    ...Use this search page to find such documents:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search
    Note that you don't need to have iLife '08 to be able to direct your domain name to your custom website published to MobileMe. As someone wrote on another thread:
    "My personal domain is linked to my MM but i don't even have ilife on my mac. When you go to the options in MM to link your personal domain to your MM it provides directions that will guide you with setting up your godaddy settings."
    ...Where "MM" is MobileMe here:
    http://me.com/account
    ...+Personal Domain+ tab, and "godaddy" is wherever your domain name is registered.

  • Publish my own domain with MobileMe, but redirect to iDisk

    I followed the steps from Apple: added my domain in MobileMe site and changed "www" CNAME to "web.me.com." with my registrar. After publishing my own domain with MobileMe, my site was redirected to iDisk. Anything I did wrong? Thanks for advise!

    Hey Paul, I got my problem resolved. I used some capital letters when setting up my personal domain name in MobileMe "Personal Domain". I changed them all to lower case, published my site again and voila. All is good!!

  • Using own domain - newbie needs help!

    I've never created a webpage before, so bear with me! I've started one in iWeb and purchased my own domain from GoDaddy.com. I changed the CNAME per the directions of iWeb/me.com. However, my page is not being published under the personal domain name I purchased. The domain name is showing up on me.com under my webpages. I've "Published All to .Mac" and when it asks me to go to my site after it's published, I get the generic GoDaddy parked site for my personal domain. What else do I need to do to get this working? Sorry to be so ignorant, but any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!!

    What you need to do to set-up CNAME is to firstly enter your domain name into the personal domain name option of MobileMe. If you look, you will see that www is already there, so you don't need to enter this, just yourdomainname.com or whatever and then confirm it in the second box and click on done and it will be set.
    You then need to go to your control panel settings at GoDaddy, where you got your domain name from. What you need is the DNS settings and your domain name should already show there. All are slightly different, but what you then need to do is enter www, then pick CNAME from a drop down menu or complete it and then either web.mac.com or web.me.com to redirect your domain name. This then means that you domain name will be forwarded to your iWeb site at web.mac.com.
    If you want a simpler way to do it, you can just use web forwarding instead, which means that you don't need to complete the personal domain in your MobileMe account. All you need do is go to the web forwarding section of your control panel at GoDaddy and enter your domain name and then forward it to web.mac.com/username/sitename or web.me.com/username/sitename.
    Remember that for CNAME forwarding you always forward to web.mac.com and for just forwarding you would enter web.mac.com/username/sitename.
    CNAME forwarding can take up to 24 hours to take effect, so you could have a wait, although most hosting companies are a lot quicker than this.

  • FTP Publishing currently failing

    Some months back I created a website for a friend who wanted a new site for his business. His site was already with Mr. Site who supported FTP publishing, so I created his new site and transferred it to his new one, effectively replacing it. Great! Worked like a dream! By all means take a look!
    http://www.nickmarshallmake-up.com
    About two weeks ago I attempted to update the new site and the update has failed. When publishing the site, iWeb "Prepares the Files for Publishing" and always crashes on the last page (no matter what the last page is, as I rearranged them to test it out). iWeb didn't even get to the stage where it uploaded anything to the website. I looked at the website online and noticed that there are now some media crashes present (music shortened and artwork is suddenly missing and cropped) and I'm enraged that I cannot actually effect any changes.
    I can publish the site to a local folder with no problem whatsoever, but iWeb ALWAYS crashes when preparing files for publishing via the FTP protocols!
    Help please?

    This doesn't help you but I am experiencing exactly the same issue, using FTP publishing.

  • FTP publishing settings Website URL

    This may be a very obvious answer, but in the FTP publishing setting>Website URL field, what are the correct settings. For my "domainname.com", I'm putting the address in that field as "http://www.domainname.com" (no quotes) Is that the correct address to use. iWeb Help Menu says to put your website address in that field. So I assume that you include the "http://www." Is that correct?

    Alancito,
    I keep forgetting about the video tutorials. They're awesome. Yes that did answer my question. The whole FTP thing seems temperamental and buggy, but I'm sure most of it is me. In iWeb, sometimes it publishes via FTP, no problems and other times I get server error messages. Using Rage Sitemap Automator, half the time it won't connect and if I upload the sitemap via Cyberduck, using the same FTP settings, no problem. But those are all separate issues and you answered my initial question. Thanks

  • HELP: is it possible to have my own domain name forward to a .mac/iwebblog?

    Just got a macbook pro last week. brand new to this/have no idea what i'm doing. want to get my own domain name. is it possible to buy a domain name ie
    'Testing123.Com' and have it so that when i publish my blog on my .mac/iweb account, the domain name forwards/links to the .mac blog?
    in other words, the .mac/iweb blog address is too long/convoluted...i want something catchier. so is it possible? please advise...would be eternally grateful. thanks so much,
    Emily

    Emily:
    Yes, you can purchase a domain name and have it forwarded to your iWeb produced site. You'll need to buy the name first. GoDaddy.com seems to be a very popular site to purchase domain names.
    Do you Twango?

  • Ftp/publish all/.mac

    I've learnt through reading old posts that selecting 'publish all' is the solution to having the website appear in all browsers as I am having trouble with this. However, I have discovered that it's actually 'publish all to .mac' If I don't have a .mac account do I just not bother having a website built in iweb? I thought I didn't have to have a .mac account, is this true?????

    From your file structure, it would appear that you have not followed completely what the tutorials would tell you to do.
    It would appear that you have uploaded the contents rather than the whole site folder and separate index file created by iWeb when you publish to a folder?
    As Roddy suggested, try downloading Cyberduck which is a free ftp program and then try uploading both your Site folder and the separate index file that iWeb produces. This will ensure that everything is uploaded correctly - your feed and scripts files and also the RSS feed will work if you do it in this manner. By doing it the other way, it could be that not all your files have uploaded properly.
    Try it this way using Cyberduck instead, but also remember to name your site something like Site or S in iWeb so you don't get the double domain name that some complain about here.

    Hi
    You would need to delete the domain from existing site and then add to your BC site.

  • FTP publishing on iWeb to replace existing site - files not appearing.

    On iWeb, I used FTP publishing to replace my existing site files, then deleted the original files but not only has the new site files not appeared in my public html folder but I get the message:The requested URL /www.geofflevitus.com was not found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Founderror was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    but I get the message:The requested URL /www.geofflevitus.com was not found on this server.
    That's an indication that the index.html file that is created alongside the site folder by iWeb is missing. 
    Try publishing your site to a folder on your hard driive and use a 3rd part ftp client like the free  Cyberduck to upload the site folder and the index.html file.
    Cyberduck or Transmit will let you view your server folder in a Finder like window where you can see which files are missing.

  • IWeb Forgets FTP Publishing

    I publish my site via FTP. I do it and then save the file, it shows me that everything has been published(all blue). The next time I open it, it shows me that none of it is published(all red). Why is it doing this and how can I fix it?

    I'm not sure if CyberDuck can upload only those changed files but Web Site Maestro can. If you publish a folder on the HD and let WSM optimize the files the second time you publish the changes to the same folder WSM can determine, by file size, those new sites and will upload only those files. I use it for multiple sites hosted on MobileMe and it will work for any hosting service.
    Check out CyberDuck as I think I read where it can determine changed/new files.

  • Pleased with upgrade even just for single site FTP publishing

    I liked iWeb 08 a lot, but found the publishing of EVERYTHING really cumbersome. So I decided to take a chance and upgrade to iWeb 09 and it seems perfect for the sorts of things I am doing now. I love the fact that I can select one site and then have it FTP publish to just the directory I want at my hostgator ISP (I don't use Mobile Me).
    It seems to work just fine, and is a great time saver of the way publishing was done in iWeb 08. Just this feature was worth the upgrade to me.
    doug

    I'm thinking about this as well. My work-around for iWeb'08 was to create a copy of my original .sites2 file with all the sites, rename the file to xxx.sites2, open it and delete all but 1 site in iWeb. Repeat with all the sites, and then you have a bunch of files each with only 1 site. Create an alias for each file and you have more or less the same thing.

  • 2 Things: Safari Bookmarking + FTP Publishing

    Sounds like a stupid question but does anyone know how to
    bookmark a specific topic using safari when using a Flash skin??
    I'm 85% sure this cannot be done.
    Also, is anyone else experience slow ftp publishing times?
    I'm publishing to a win2003 via ftp and it take 2 minutes to
    publish. Is there some way to tweek server 2003 to speed this up?
    Any alternative ftp solutions? I'll have to revert to publishing
    via a shared network if I don't get this solved.
    I'm using rh6.

    1. It wont allow me to upload the movie clip that i
    have made - in .mov format.
    It says that the name is not allowed - so i have
    tried renaming it to all sorts of things and nothing
    works - it says forbidden. Does anyone have any idea
    what this means?
    Many servers do not accept names with spaces in them, and some might require lower-case letters and no special characters.
    2. I have made 2 pages that should have RSS feeds.
    There are XML pages uploaded to the server, but when
    you try to subscribe on the site it says that it kind
    find any RSS information on the server.
    You broke the site structure created by iWeb by failing to upload the folder with the same name as your site has inside iWeb, namely the folder called Northstars. Instead you uploaded the contents of this folder. Always upload that folder plus the index.html file published alongside it.
