HELP PLEASE: Trying to upload site to non .mac server

Hi there,
I am a complete newbie when it comes to uploading a site to a server.
I have completed the site I made in iWeb, have not included spaces in the title for each page. All the movies are in .mov or .mp4 format. all my pictures have been attached through iPhoto. I have published it to a folder on my desktop. I am trying to upload to my cousin's server which he created himself using Cyberduck. Unfortunetly he is away the the moment so I can not ask for his assitance. I have the password and user name to the server, & have tried uploading the site once before. nothing came up, apart from a blank page with a few folders that were orignally there before I uploaded the site. Cyberduck says the upload was successful, clearly it wasn't. All the files and folders are shown within the program.
Can anyone help me? I need to upload the site by today, thanks...

nothing came up, apart from a
blank page with a few folders that were orignally
there before I uploaded the site.
This usually means you failed to upload the index.html file. You must upload two items: the index.html file and the folder which has the same name as your site does inside the iWeb app.
Here are some tips:

Please provide your url and the name of your site inside iWeb.

  • Help combining iWeb sites or Uploading to a non .mac server

    Using iWeb 2, my lovely bride created a site on her MacBook Pro and uploaded it to our .mac site. It (of course) overwrote our entire family set of sites (three altogether). Luckily, I still have those on my G5. Is there anyway to add her site to my domain file so I can publish them all?
    Went to Apple Store in Bellevue, WA and genius and resident iWeb guy have no clue.
    I also have other servers I could put her site on but when I publish it to a folder and upload it to that server, it loses all the links. Not the linked files (I assume they are all still there) but the actual links on the home page on hers don't show. You can see this problem at http://www.koobraey.com/alaska/InfinityMates2007/Home.html
    If you know this template, you know there should be links above the title. And if you think that looks bad, you should see it on a PC. Yikes.
    Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

    When you publish to a folder in iWeb '08 there are three files that were not present in '06.
    These are "feed", "media" and "scripts".
    If you are uploading your files one by one, as I tend to do at times, you may have missed the 'feed" file. Have a look on your server to see if its there.

  • Non mac server publishing

    When publishing to a non .mac server certain features do not work... any way to get them to work. rss for one
    Are there any other features that I need to know about that may not work?
    Thanks

    RSS should definitely work. It's just a matter of entering the correct domain name in the "Publish to Folder" dialog box and also uploading the correct items to your server. I can help you with this if you desire.
    As far as other .Mac only features that won't work for you... these include blog commenting, search, password protection, the enhanced photo template slideshows, .Mac counters, etc.
    Of course, you can find replacements for all of these features...

  • Using unix 'diff' command to publish iweb to non .mac server

    It is a common problem that you can't upload incremental changes to a website a web server that is not a .mac. Recently I found that the unix (shell) 'diff -qr' works nicely for this.
    However I can't seem to get this to work in automator. That is where I need some help.
    What I did :
    I have an iweb website in my directory
    Documents/website
    I made a second directory where I store my uploaded version of the website:
    Documents/websiteonserver
    Using a shell script I want to compare the differences between these two directories using the diff command in a shell script. When I run 'diff -qr websiteonserver website' in a terminal window, it gives a nice overview of which files are changed and which ones are new. When workin with iWeb this saves me a lot of time uploading my homepage to a non .mac server. I can only upload the changed files, which is usually only a few. Diff does not look at timestamps (which are useless in the iweb case) but it actually looks into a file and with the -q option it stops when it finds a difference. With the -r added (-qr) it also looks through all subdirectories and compares files with the same name.
    I like to automate this process so that my wife can update our family homepage with just one mouseclick (or as few as possible)
    Unfortunately the diff command in automator gives an error, and there's no info on why it does this.
    The commands I gave:
    cd Documents
    diff -qr websiteonserver website
    (using PWD i verified that the path is correct like this). The only stumbling block for automator seems to be the diff command. Anybody any suggestions on this?
    The next challenge is to take the diff output and use that to upload only changed/new files to a ftp server.
    Any help / ideas are welcome
    Greetings,
    Adriaan

    Dear Cyclosaurus,
    I used a single command as us specified. It really helped to add the path to the directories I wanted to compare. So now at least I got it two work partly:
    It seems to work only if I compare two files. Comparing directories still does not work. Maybe diff generates some kind of error code when doing this??? It does not do that in the shell.
    If I compare all files in directories + subdirectories , the workflow does not work. It seems as if it only accepts a single output line or so from the diff function. If there is more output (or maybe some newline character) the workflow halts. Very peculiar.
    mmm.... I will try to make a shell script which I can run in automator. In the script file I will then generate a txt file. Then the automator can run the script and then it can open the resulting file in a text editor. See if that works.
    mmm nope. I made a script like this:
    #!/bin/bash
    diff -qr ~/Documents/websiteon_theserver/ ~/Documents/website/ > ~/Documents/logfile.txt
    I modified the atributes to executable and I could run it from the command line. The logfile.txt was created and has the correct info. I could not run it from automator...
    I did copy the last line from the script into automator. And also there it does create the logfile, but the automator still says there was an error and stops.
    maybe I should try Applescript, were it not that I am totally clueless on that language...

  • Comments Not Working on Website - published to non-.mac server

    Hi there. I've read on a few non-apple sites of users having trouble with Comments and some other functions of their websites, built in iWeb, not working when they publish to a non-.mac server. I've built my website in iWeb, published via CyberDuck to a BlueHost server -- but now users can not post comments on my blog.
    Has anyone found a way to fix this issue??
    It seems incredibly pointless to even now have my own domain. I'm super close to giving up on iWeb all together because of this ridiculous issue.
    Thanks in advance.
    www.kellerowski.com

    Unfortunately, blog comments are a MobileMe only feature along with the hit counter etc.
    You have to publish to MobileMe if you want these features.
    There are workarounds however. If you want to continue to use an iWeb blog, then you can use a third party comments feature. Take a look here http://www.intensedebate.com. It is free to set up on the site and all you then do is copy and paste the code into an html snippet on the page you want comments to appear in whatever format you want them.
    Your other option is to ditch iWeb and if it is just a blog you want, use something like http://www.wordpress.com. This is free and you don't need a domain name and the blog is published on WordPress servers.
    Your other option for a blog is http://www.posterous.com.
    The iWeb blog system is not that good, so you might look into changing if a blog is what you want rather than a website.

  • Can you post Web-Gallery to a non .Mac server?

    iPhoto 08 and web gallery look pretty neat.
    Do you have to post the Web Galleries to .Mac or can you use a different server.
    Would like to continue post our college sports photos to our campus (OS X) server using web-gallery.

    Jack, I don't think you can post web galleries to a non .Mac server. There seems to be a lot of support behind the scenes that makes Web Gallery work as it does. Normal HTML doesn't work like that.
    What you could do, which would bring some of the reflections-on-black look, is send the photos to iWeb and use the export HTML option (not sure what it's called) in the File menu to create a gallery that you could host on a non-.Mac server. It wouldn't look exactly the same but you'd get whatever is possible without the .Mac-supplied functionality.

  • Need help Please can't upload videos on facebook

    I'm try to up load video on facebook for 3 days now and it shows that My video was encoding, but now it’s gone , every time video is 48.5 MB , 1 min and 40 sec it's small formate (.m4v) the problem with my macbook not facebook as i tried to upload with HP laptop it works My macbook is Mac OS X version 10.7.2 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5

    TSO
    Thanks for the update.
    But, I would ask for clarification.
    I have never seen any Adobe posted limits for the Premiere Elements upload to Facebook feature, but....
    In the following online article posted about a year ago, the responder makes a distinction between Facebook
    unverified and phone-verified accounts.
    Unverified account limit = 100 MB 10 minutes
    Phone-verified account limit = 1024 MB 20 minutes
    Is there a limit to the size and the length of the video files that I can upload to Facebook? | Facebook Help Community …
    I suspect that the unverified account limit is what can be used in the Premiere Elements feature within the program
    and not the phone-verified one which can probably just be used for uploads to Facebook at the Facebook web site. But I do
    not know for sure at this time. There is a similar situation that exists with YouTube with its regular and extended time accounts
    and when and where you can use them. YouTube, I know first hand. I am not involved with Facebook in anyway.
    If that online article of over a year ago is correct for now....your 843 MB 3 minutes 45 seconds failed on file size if your account
    is one of those unverified ones. You could look into the Facebook phone-verified accounts to see if that resolves any of
    your Facebook issues.
    If you are exporting in Premiere Elements to a file saved to the hard drive for upload to Facebook at the Facebook web site, you might consider lowering the bitrate under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export preset to decrease the file size but still maintain quality.
    More later.

  • Help please.trying to create pdf fillable form

    Hi,
    I created the form (see attached)...but I can't figure out what these characters are for and how can I delete them. Look into the boxes and it shows t and e.  I am so frustrated with this. Don't know what I did to create them, but all I need is the blank field and/or box for text. Help please. Thanks.

    You didn't delete the text field labels.  Move the yellow bars on you text fields to the right and you will see the labels.  You can delete the label or use the area for your labels instead of additional text boxes.  Using the fields will give better alignment for you text

  • Can't upload photos to non-mac photobook

    Hi, I am in the middle of making a (non-mac) photobook from a website.  Initially I could upload photos no problem to the website photobook but recently (the last few weeks) I can no longer upload them.  When I try to "add photos" my jpeg photos in pictures/iphoto do not get highlighted to choose.  I have tried saving the photos to the desktop (doesnt work) and am at a loss as to why It is suddenly not allowing me to do this.
    My photobook has an expiry date so the pressure is on to sort this out, can anyone PLEASE help????

    I would reset the iPad by turning it off (holding the lock button and sliding the red slider), and turn it on again. If that doesn't work, I would contact the developers of the Facebook app by going to the app store, finding the page for the app and click the report problem button. Hope that helps!

  • Issues trying to publish to a non .mac host

    Hello again,
    I built a webpage for an external domain from iWeb. I have published to my hard drive and the result is a folder with all the contents and pages. I went to the external host's page, but I couldnt find an option to upload a folder, only individual files. Does this mean I need to upload all the files one by one? pages, pictures, etc.
    Also, how do I make sure the files and webpage structure work for the specified domain, i.e. what needs to be uploaded in order for the domain to pick up all the webpage structure? This is a basic theory question I guess, for me to understand at its most basic sense how to webpages work...
    Thanks again,
    J

    I am guessing that you are trying to upload to your host through a web interface? If this is the case every one is different, but most will have a "upload multiple fiels" or something of the sort.
    Another thing you can try is a free FTP client. I use CyberDuck.
    http://cyberduck.ch
    It works well and you can upload multiple files and folders. The good thing is this will also keep your sites and images in the proper sub floders making sure the links work proper, etc.
    Make sure you donate if this works because these people were nice enough to make the software free.

  • Open Data Set Error while trying to read file from non SAP server

    Hi all,
    is it possible to read data from non-SAP application Sever?
    I'm using OPEN DATASET p_filin FOR INPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE '1504',
    Where p_filin is other Windows server.Our applicition server is under Unix.Is it a problem?
    I make test to read file from SAP application server and it was ok.So how to call other server?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Yes it is possible to read data from a non SAP server through the statement OPEN DATASET.
    The important thing to check is that the SAP Server got enough access to the non SAP server so it can perform a reading/writing process depending on your needs.
    You should contact your network administrator and BASIS to help you check the permissions. This can be pretty tricky, specially if the servers are in different domains.

  • Help Please???  Personal web address & .Mac address

    Hey folks-
    I have set up my personal domain to be used with my .Mac address by utilizing my CNAME and such.
    Now one problem I am having that I'm not sure can be solved....
    Is there any way to set up my second site in iWeb to be the only site to utilize my personal domain name?
    Here is what I am trying to do:
    Site 1 is to play host to my family updates for our newborn.
    Site 2 is to play host to my online portfolio for work and freelance.
    Problem is I do not want professionals to know that I have a family site also.
    I do not want to password protect either sites and I want the sites to work as such:
    Site 1( family) to go as web.mac.com/username
    Site 2(portfolio) to go as www.personaldomain.com
    Can I do this with iWeb and .Mac? Thanks!
    Message was edited by: KindredMac

    Unfortunately, when I do this if you type in web.mac.com/username it goes to the personal domain page first.
    That's how it is is supposed to work. For your other site you have to use the url
    http://web.mac.com/username/sitename
    The only way to totally separate them would be buy another account or manually put your other site in iDisk/Sites. It will then have the url http://homepage.mac.com/username/sitename (not sure all features will work there).

  • Publishing (uploading) with Netscape Composer to non-.mac server

    I'm new to iWeb. Created a simple one page site with a photo and some text, and Published to a Folder (on my desktop). Uploaded all the files to my server webspace (as instructed by them using their File Manager service). Transfer went OK, but viewing the webpage did not. First, the URL had to be all lower-case (didn't work with any caps ...result = "not found"). Secondly, only the text in the page appeared; the photo and other graphics were replaced with little squares encasing a ?-mark.
    After several attempts (and discussion with server's tech support) I decided to use Netscape Composer to "publish" (upload) the files to my server. Not only was it much easier than using my server's File Manager, but the site WORKED!! So now, I use iWeb to create/update my page, but use Netscape Composer to upload it to my server.
    Still, however, the URL has to be entirely lower-case, or I get the "not found". Minor inconvenience. When I type in my URL, the browsers automatically add the extension "/Welcome.html". I have to change the 'W' to 'w'.
    Comments as to why it wouldn't work with the first method?____
    For browsers, I used latest versions of Safari, Firefox, and Netscape Navigator.

    Comments as to why it wouldn't work with the first
    method?____
    Because "file managers" are usually garbage and won't allow you to preserve the structure of an iWeb site, so that it won't work right. It is best to always use a real ftp program. Some tips are here:

  • RSS button on non mac server

    Greetings,
    Very new at this. I want to install an RSS button on my blog. The mac button doesn't work on Yahoo. Any suggestion?
    Any reaction as well regarding the Technorati button?
    Counting button?
    Many thanks.

    I'm not sure why you are saying that the RSS subscribe button isn't working at Yahoo. This is most likely due to the fact that you entered the incorrect host address in the "Publish to Folder" dialog window.
    For example...if your hosting account is accessed by typing in http://www.yourdomain.com then you must type this into the URL box of the "Publish to Folder" dialog window. Then when you upload to your host, you must upload the two items that iWeb puts into the folder....
    My Folder
    \__ index.html
    \__ mysite folder
    Don't upload the enclosing folder (My Folder)....just upload the index.html file and the mysite folder, so that your server directory structure looks like...
    http://www.mydomain.com
    \__ index.html
    \__ mysite folder
    It is important to keep the relationship between the index.html file and the mysite folder intact as published by iWeb....otherwise your RSS feed URL will not work.
    On a non-.Mac button, the RSS feed and Podcast subscribe buttons should work fine. The Apple counter does not work on non-.Mac servers. You will have to look into other services like http://www.statcounter.com for that.
