Help pointing iweb site to comcast business server

Hi,
I have spent a great deal of time trying to read the forums for my answer but I do not think I completely understand. I am also a newbie at directing websites to particular servers so any explanation in laemans terms would be greatly appreciated. Here is the problem/question: I built a website on iWeb 08 and have a Godaddy domain name that I want to use. I want my comcast business server to host. Any ideas on how I go about setting this up I would greatly appreciate. Thank you

These may help:

How can I publist my iWeb site to a Windows Server? (FTP is not an option, neither is a Linux server))

So I need to publish my iWeb site to a Windows server on a secure I can't access directly. I believe I need to export my iWeb site to a local folder on my Mac, then transfer those files to the computer that has access to the server.
I tried this earlier today with the tech in charge of the system and we had trouble getting the files uploaded.
I don't get any error messages, the new site simply doesn't show up.
Can anyone offer any help here? I know that iWeb users have had problems uploading to Windows servers, but If you know of specific work-arounds to the problems encountered, please let me know.
Thank you in advance. Any and all help is appreciated!

What ftp programme are you using to upload the site?
Also, where are the files being placed on the server - if they are not in the root folder on the server then they might not show up - (root folder could be anything from "public_html", "www", or "htdocs". This differs on all servers).
Also, when you published the site from iWeb to a local folder did you see all the files that iWeb produces - did you see firstly the Site folder, the separate index file? If you did, did you transfer this folder and file to the computer in question?
When you uploaded the site did you upload the whole site folder? If so, then you also need to upload the separate index file so that it points into the site folder - this needs to sit outside the site folder itself so that it points to the index file in the site folder.
If you don't want to upload like this, then what you can do is simply upload the contents of the site folder instead of the whole folder itself and place all the contents of the site folder - that being all the html file and the resultant css folders for each page to the server instead.

Help Moving iWeb site to a windows PC

My objective is to create a site using iWeb and move that site to a standalone PC and use Firefox to read the site folder and run the site. Not needing any internet. The files are too large anyway.
I have created the iWeb site with many videos from iMovie. In iWeb I have "published to folder" and then I point Firefox to the folder and browse and check all the links and videos. It all works fine on the Mac.
The first question I have is that I assumed the "publish to folder" would contain all the needed files for the site (including the videos). In looking at the folder that was created, it only contains the pages, etc. Not the actual videos. So part of the question is that when I move the site to a PC I guess I need to find and move the videos also? What about the directory structure that iWeb is expecting?
The second question is how to get this large site to a PC? Someone recommended connecting the Mac and PC with an eithernet cable. Someone also suggested using a portable Harddrive formatted as FAT32. Too big for a thumb drive.
If someone could guide me through this I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

I assumed the "publish to folder" would contain all the needed files for the site (including the videos).
That's correct.
In looking at the folder that was created, it only contains the pages, etc.
It should also contain folders, with names like pagename_files and Media, that contain images, videos ,etc.

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.
Jim

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.

Pointing iweb site to a new domain

Can anyone give me the answer.
I have published my site on my .mac account.
I then brought a domain from web-mania.com
I now want to point my new domain name to the website on my .mac account.
I have emailed web-mania with no joy as they keep coming back saying that they don't host sites and i can't make them understand that my site is hosted on dotmac and all i want to do is just point my new website to that domain.

I'm having the same sort of issue, but I think I figured it out. The only thing is . . .they say it could be 48 hours before it works. Anway, I purchased mine from "godaddy.com" and the instructions I followed were to add the "CNAME" also referred to as a DNS control panel, MX record or Alias (you'll find this option under your account manager probably). The CNAME for iWeb galleries is "web.mac.com" . I'm hoping this works for me, and I hope it helps you too! I have plans with a friend that is an expert tonight, so I'm going to pick his brain and figure it out, I'll report back if what I've told you is wrong!

How can I connect 10.4 Mac to Windows Small Business Server 2003?

I have seen some other discussions touching on this topic and have tried the various solutions but am getting nowhere. I can't connect my iBook, which is running Tiger, to our office's server, a Windows Small Business Server 2003. I am the only Mac user and as a Mac devotee actually spent my own hard cash for the iBook. (I work for a non-profit with low funds.) Previously, when our office had a different server and I had Panther, I could access the server. Then it was purely an academic exercise, since I had no need to access the shared files. Now I have a project that requires this, and I am stumped. Our part-time IT consultant is also stumped. We have tried a lot of the suggestions from other posts, to no avail. I suggested to the IT guy that there could be a problem regarding the encryption of my password, and I think he tried that. We have tried various versions of the domain name. The server comes up in the list when I follow the "go--connect to server--browse" path, but we come up empty. We've gotten error message -36, a message that we are trying to connect an alias to something that can't be found, and a message that we don't have enough information to go any further (something like that). I am writing from my eMac at home, so I can't reconstruct the situation right now. I have found in my extensive internet search that Thursby has something called ADmitMac that is pretty expensive software ($119 for one person) that I could install on the iBook and could help me access the Windows Small Business Server 2003 without doing anything else to the server. Does anyone know if that would that work? Any suggestions would be so appreciated!
eMac and iBook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I have specific errors listed below:
Actually, I have been encountering similar problems. I have an end user who wants to connect to an SBS 2003 server, and can not connect/use RWW because the Active X will not work, cannot use the VPN in PPTP mode because Windows 8 disallows the connection
("Error 942: The connection could not be established because the authentication method used by your connection profile is not permitted for use by an access policy configured on the RAS/VPN server."), and cannot use an L2TP VPN connection because it requires
a certificate "Error 766: A certificate could not be found. Connections that use the L2TP protocol over IPSEC require the installation of a machine certificate, also known as a computer certificate.". I attempted to utilize the SBS Connection Tool downloaded
from RWW, but it fails with a proxy error ("Unable to execute custom script (Configure proxy settings for IE). Required file could be missing." - likely due to the PPTP tunnel it tries to use). I went so far as to install the Enterprise CA on the server, installed
the Hotfix
(KB922706) so that the website could be accessed from Vista and above, and installed the requested certificate. The VPN fails to connect after
it times out and fails to negotiate a connection. This last one is "Error 789: L2TP connection attempt failed because the security layer
encountered a processing error during the initial negotiations with the remote computer."
I have screenshots to share if anyone cares to see. I really just get the feeling that Microsoft is trying to kill SBS 2003 by ingoring it into oblivion.
The VPN works fine with Windows 7 clients by the way.

Workbooks not opening from a Business Server Page (BSP)

So is iWeb worthless for a business???

It seems that an iWeb site for a business would be counter productive since iWeb renders all the text as .png's. It seems that search engines won't do an adequate service for business web sites???
Is there some work around for this problem??? I would like to use iWeb but will probably switch do to this search engine problem?
Correct me if I am wrong? I really want to use iWeb??
thanks,
mark

Thanks for the input so far. I did do a search last night looking for a work-around for the search engine issue. I fell asleep sometime during my search. I was unable to find any work-around to my original question.
I will do another search later, but if anyone off the top of their head knows a work-around I would greatly appreciate it.
The web site that I did is http://www.warrguitars.com I like the presentation that iWeb gives me. I also like the blog and podcast features. Yes I had to do some work arounds but so far I have that under control.
As far as the .png and IE issue, I found iWeb Optimizor which changes .png's to jpg's. I will check that out.
Now if only I can get the search engines to see text or something???
Thanks,
mark

URGENT HELP PLEASE!!! iweb is refusing to publish my site to my FTP server

HELP!!! iweb is refusing to publish my site to my FTP server. I've tried Filezilla, Panic Tramsmit to upload my iweb created site to my ftp server - hosted by Uk-Cheapest - server.microlite5.com.
I've also saved the files to both my hard disc and my idisk and tried uploading from there but it always fails.
can anyone offer any advice as to how i can get my site uploaded to my domain. It's REALLY URGENT!

After publishing to a local folder, double click the index.html file to launch your site in the browser.
If this version is OK then the problem is with FTP.
Make sure that you can login to your host via the browser and also that your publishing settings - Server Address, Username, Password and Directory/Path - are correct.

Can't see my iweb site. please help

I have just created an iweb site which worked fine and was able to visit using the safari button on the bottom of the iweb page which directed me to http://web.me.com/mmerry/Mikes_Inks/Welcome.html
I have added a domain name ‘mikesinks.com’ with go daddy which worked fine to start with but now when I go to the safari button it directs me to http://web.me.com/mmerry/Mikes_Inks/Welcome.html along with the message Safari can’t open the page “http://www.mikesinks.com/Mikes_Inks/index.html” because Safari can’t find the server “www.mikesinks.com”.
this also happens in firefox.
please can someone help.

Try it without the "
http://www.mikesinks.com/Mikes_Inks/index.html
Use the shortest URL possible to arrive at your site.
This will work : http://www.mikesinks.com/Mikes_Inks/
This will work : http://www.mikesinks.com/
And this link : http://mikesinks.com/ uses URL forwarding.
Use forwarding to : http://www.mikesinks.com/

IWeb site wants to download something and won't bring up website... help!

Howdy!
I'm pretty new to Mac and iWeb, but not new to web design. I created a site in iWeb that I need to launch asap. I have the domain all setup and have tested it with a test html document that I created in Dreamweaver and it worked fine.
This morning I published my iWeb site to a folder, and then uploaded the files to my web server. When I try to go to the site, it won't bring it up and asks to download a file. It makes no sense to me.
I am not publishing to a .mac account. I'm using BlueHost.com. It doesn't seem that any of the web page files that iWeb publishes to the folder are any different. They publish as .html so it seems it should work fine. Any thoughts?
The site is http://www.DOPevent.com go there and you'll see the craziness that I mean. So freakin' wierd. I'll send a support ticket to bluehost.com as well, but any help would be most appreciated. This is for an event coming up on May 10, so time is of the essence!
By the way, Mac rules.

I think this is definitely a server problem. For some reason it seems to be treating your site like php instead of html. Some servers are (mis)configured in a way that does that, but this particular behavior is a new one. Hopefully Bluehost can fix it. This note describes fixes for other cases I have seen:

New iWeb User needs help regarding multiple sites

As a new user please excuse me if this has an obvious answer.
I have 4 web site, very simple, that I have used Frontpage with for years.
I want to make new websites with iWeb but I am worried I may screw something up.
I have already created one new iWeb Site and it comes up in the left hand pane as SITE 1.
I have used that for ages and use a seperate FTP program to publish to my independent Server with no problem. I usually publish to a folder first then use the FTP software to publish to the Server and its fine
The trouble I have now is probably becasue I don't know how to use iWeb properly but I'll try to explain.
I made another website and it creates SITE 2 in the left hand pane and I have produced a few pages for that site.
My problem is that when i go to publish to a folder for the 2nd site, it automatically does the first site as well ?
In most other programs (like Frontpage) you have to open the individual sites on their own so you can keep everything seperate but iWeb seems to put them all together.
I now have a folder (on my Apple) with SITE 1 and all its files and in another seperate folder (which I made just for SITE 2) have SITE 1 and SITE 2 and I'm scared to delete the copy of SITE 1 in case it deletes all of it !!
I wish there was a simple 'OPEN SITE' command in iWeb where you cna pick the opne you want to work on but it doesn't seem to be there.
If I am missing something obvious I'd be grateful of some advice becasue I really would like to get the other sites made up.

I'll try to make this simple!
Lets say that you have a website already and you named the site Family.
You decide you want to create another website for example, My Pets.
First create a 2 folders a place them where you will remember where they are.
One of the new folders will be called (Family) (of course both folders are empty at this time. The second folder you created you will name (MY PETS)Ok you with me so far?
Now lets suppose you have the iweb open to the (Family) website. Quit iweb...
Go to users/Library/Application Support/iweb. You will see a iweb icon that will say (Domain.Sites2. Drag the domain.sites2 to the (family) folder you just created. Now for your new site that you want to start. (MY PETS) OPEN iweb. You should now be prompted to choose a template. That's because you removed the domain.sites2 out and put it into another folder.
iweb thinks your are starting a new project and prompts you to choose a template as described earlier. Any pictures you add you should keep them in the separate folder in case you need edit or if you accidentally delete them. For example on the (my Pets site) any pictures you have there you will have in the same folder as the my pets folder you created. What I do is I make additional folders within the site folder I created so I can find things faster. Pets,I would have a pets folder and so on. Do the same for the other folder.(Family)
Now you created your new website (MY PETS) and you decide you want to go back and work on the (Family) website. Quit iweb. and then go to User/Library/Application Support/iweb... REMOVE the Domain.sites2 (MY PETS) and go to other folder(Family) and drag that Domain.site2 where you previously removed the other domain.sites2.. Open iweb and there it is.
Tip: When you place a Domain.sites2 into one of the folders you created it is always good to copy the domain.site2 and paste it into the same folder.When you copy and paste a Domain.sites2 the copy of it will say (Domain copy.sites2) This is a good practice to make because if you forget to close a iweb and drag a domain.sites2 out and replace it with another site. iweb will overwrite it when you save and quit. If that happens Just go the the copy you made and drag it to the: users/Library/Application Support/iweb.
once you drag it to iweb folder click on it once and press enter. You will see the text Domain Copy highlighted. Just delete the word (COPY) make sure it looks like this when your done... Domain.sites2
Open iweb and there it is.
Sorry about all the detail as this is a bad habit of mine, but I hope it helps.

Help building an iweb site

I purchased my domain name through blogger but have deleted my blog and want to create a website using iweb. Google/eNom now host my name, but they don't offer access to ftp information so I can't build the site. How do I go about finding a company to host my site when I already own the domain name? Help, please!

Any hosting site that offers Linux hosting can host an iWeb website. You are aware of the following, right?
Features Unavailable When Publishing to a 3rd Party Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two feature will be broken.
I use HostExcellence.com. This tutorial describes why: iW16 - Using HostExcellence.com with iWeb.
