Help- Trouble Publishing First Website

Hi, I built and I am ready to publish my first website to the web. I have a host and an ftp account and have signed into the ftp account. I have fallowed a tutorial from tutvids.com that tells me how to publish my site and I fallowed it exactly. I am able to connect to the server from dream weaver and I am even able to see my files on my cpanel on my web server. I also have been able to connect ftp account on filezilla and I can see my files. After all of this my site is still not online and I am wondering what I am doing wrong? Am I missing something? Is there something I can check to see if I have done something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I am getting an error on filezilla saying connection closed by server but before that it did connect to the server and it did have the files. I sent a support ticket to the server asking them for their help but of course they have not answered me back yet. The web address is www.centerstagesalon.net. When I got to that site it just shows the host and that I can sign in to upload the site but it should be the site. The web hosting account was created two nights ago but the domain name was purchased a couple of months ago. The domain name was purchased from a different provider but I have already pointed it to the the host and it does go to the host. The tutorial showed that when you go through the site manager on dreamweaver you put in your ftp info and test it and mine worked fine. I then fallowed the instructions to add the site files and they were added fine. Then I checked to see if it was online and it wasn't. So then I tried to get help through the host. I submitted a support ticket, which hasn't been answered. I also fallowed the instructions and configured the ftp account and dl filezilla. I was able to connect to the ftp account through filezilla aswell and saw the files on that. I then went to my file manager on cpanel for my web host and the files for my site were there under the public folder but still the site is not online. So I am confused and thinking maybe your right that something is wrong with the host. I hope they answer me soon!!

I require help with my first website

As you can see from many of my recent posts, I am new to web development, and I have decided that I am going to need some help.
This forum has been a huge help, and I will continue using it, but the reality of the situation is that progress is slow as I am learning as I go, each junction I reach and require help with is holding up progress, which wouldn't be a problem if I had more spare time, but I simply don't.
Is anybody willing to help me? It would be paid work so I would need to discuss how this would work with rates etc... here are some details:
The domain is already setup, and you can see the first page I have been working on here: http://www.elliotnewman.com/index/test7.html
The closet website I can find for your reference is: http://www.jaspaljandu.com/home/
My site will initially not be quite as established as Jaspal's, but in essence the functionality will be similar. The things I know of that I will need help on are:
Setting up the ordering and payment process when a customer wants to order a print, including automated email notifications, and check out forms ( this may also require membership fields or maybe through paypal)
Setting up the interactive framing graphics - ref - http://www.markgray.com.au/gallery/limited-edition-prints/forgotten-island.php
Potentially helping to setup a blog
Work with me on integration - and updates (ie build the all the templates needed so updates and new images can be posted by myself easily)
Automation of the counts of the limited editions
Setting up links to Facebook, twitter, linkedin etc
Reviewing and testing any code that I create
Along with these points I will also need standby help with the code I am directly working on, so file sharing may have to be setup. It is also worth noting that I will supply all the graphics and the design elements for every page, I will also be very specific with briefs as I know exactly what I want to achieve.
If anybody is interested please send me a private message, I would need to see some examples of your experience, details on your availability and your rate - whether thats per day, per hour and a rough estimate on how long you think the work will take.
Also, if anybody knows somebody outside this forum that you think could help me then please also forward this on.
Apologies if this is not the best place to post this.
Elliot.

Hi
In addition to Nancy s comments, reading the following line -
Along with these points I will also need standby help with the code I am
directly working on, so file sharing may have to be setup.
What you are basically after is a tutor, to guide you in what you are doing. In this respect it may be worth your while to read-up on designing web pages,as after a quick glance of the code, (from your previous post regarding the background image ) the main problem you are having is that you are not 'implementing' a consistent design/development procedure.
Try reading the following -
General tutorials on html, css, etc - http://www.w3schools.com/.

Ive finished my first website now my next problem, who can help?

Hi there,
With lots of help from Nadia, ive finished my website..
http://www.tlmgoldman.com/
Now ive got to move on to an other level and i hope you can help me.
As you can see the website is working fine. Now ive got one new question from my client. Is it possible that my client can change the text himself? And he want to add a new page with a lot off new pictures.. for the employers.
What is the best way to do this. Is it possible to do this without a cms system because cms is for me like flying to mars..
Is there some kind of program so my client can upload some pictures and changes some text on all the pages?
I will be happy to hear from you..
Regards Brian

Please help! first website! movie clip placed on main timeline wont play!

Hi! if any one could please help me it would be greatly
appreciated!
So im trying to make my first website in flash and ive ran
into a problem. I have the main movie, my main time line. I have a
few animations going on in this that were all created in that main
time line. those work fine. however, i created two new movie clips
(still inside the same .fla file) and animated them with thier own
time line. I then thought you could just drag and drop these movie
clips onto your main time line and they would play inside the
movie. but when i press ctrl + enter, the dont play!
here are some points of intrest.
my main movie (the main time line) is 130 frames.
the movie clips i made inside the same .fla file are between
400 and 600 frames.
i placed both new movie clips on the 130th frame in the time
line with their own layers.
also there is a layer for actions on the 130th that has
stop();
i thought that maybe the time line had to be as long as those
movie clips i created and so i extended it but they still didnt
play.
im thinking action script is involved? please help me im
getting pretty frustrated and im sure there is something simple to
achieve this.
here is a link where you can download the source files im
using. if you open the file the two movie clips i created are
called front two and front one and are layers with the same name.
this board wont let me fully post my link cause the last word
in it is s*h*i*t* so youll have to type it in your browser. its
http://public.me.com/matts*h*i*t*
(just remove the asterisks)
also i noticed that my file is huge. i used photoshop to
create everything and them imported it into flash. is there a way i
can reduce this size?
thank you sooo much! please help!
-Matt

Hey Matt,
I'll take a look at your file, but as a general rule, a
movieclip's timeline plays automatically when it is first
instantiated. Instatiated means its first frame where "it exists"
on the timeline that contains it. So the layer that holds your
movieclip animation, needs to extend the length of the timeline you
want that movieclip to "exist". Other than that rule, the frames
don't NEED to match the frames inside said movieclip.
So, if movieclips play automatically, and yours isn't, there
must be something either stopping the movieclips timeline, or your
movieclip isn't existing on the timeline because the layer that
holds it, doesn't have keyframes the length you need it to.
Yeah optimizing your sprites (2d graphical elements), and
using vector when you need to (if you don't know the difference
between raster and vector, google it) will significantly lower your
outputted .swf file size.
Edit: After looking at your file, your movieclips are not
playing (well, they're technically playing, just not showing up)
because your masker layer has multiple objects on it. A masker
layer (not to be confused with the maskee layer, the layer being
masked) needs to have only one object on it, or else you break the
mask. The grey border of your mask movieclip needs to be deleted
before your animation will play.

Do you Twango?

I have published my website previously without trouble - but I am receiving "Publish Error: CAN'T CREATE THE FILE "XYZ.PDF." THE DISK MAY BE DAMAGED, FULL, OR YOU MAY NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT ACCESS PRIVILEGES"

I am having trouble publishing my site - the error seems to be on three specific pages of 19. The pages have many photos that are all linked to other pages. I don't know where to begin with troubleshooting the problem. I have read that changing the Z-index might work - but I cannot find anything that references a z-index on the program?

Try the troubleshooting steps under "Fix iWeb" here...

While having a perfectly running iTunes and all programs associated, I was notified of the iTunes 10.4 upgrade. After following typical directions, I have had nothing but trouble. First “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)” occurred. Following directions found at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15087646#15087646, I now get the following “iTunes.exe - System Error The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is still missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”, Along with “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)” I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx. I was one week away from buying an iPad but not if this is what I have to deal with. Please help

I actually managed to resolve this on my own by downloading iTunes from the Apple website and reinstalling iTunes that way. Here's the link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ That should fix your problem. Good luck!

Tells me iDisk is full, and I can't publish my website

Hello,
I'm using iWeb '09 and recently took on the mobileme 2 months trial period. It will end on the 17th of April.
I began publishing a blog and it worked really well ( I have not more than 7 articles though ).
But now, all of a sudden, on the website main page in iWeb, the bar at the bottom shows me that iDisk is full and that I can't publish the website anymore.
Of course, my iDisk is not full, it has 9.05 Go available out of the 10.77 maximum capacity...
I checked on the Finder of my computer as well as online on the mobileme website and both tell me I still have plenty of space in iDisk.
Thus, I can't publish my last article (pretty small, une page of text and one photo).
If there is anyone who can help, I'll be grateful
Thank you,
Nicolas

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First make a backup copy of your Domain.sites2 file that's located in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Then try the following:
1 - close iWeb.
2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
3 - go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
4 - reboot.
5 - launch iWeb and try again.

Newly published ".mac" website not found by Google

I just published my first website which is :
http://.mac.com/[username],
But a google search for "username" does not turn up my website, making it kinda useless. Where'd I go wrong? the actual"username" is makingnewfromold
bniblick needs help. email to [email protected]

This is an edit of my own posted question.
I published my first website, to dot-Mac and it was easily accessed by various computers by typing the URL,etc. However, a google search for "MemberName"did not turn up the website, making it kinda useless to me.
Obviously publishing something made with iWeb to ".Mac" puts it on the internet, but does not make it visible to even the Google search engine. So what else does one need to do to get an iWeb-created site noticed?
[I have since then removed the site from the Web---waiting to try again after I might learn something from discussion sharers. Thanks

TS1398 I am having trouble accessing certain websites on my ipad2

I am having trouble accessing certain websites on my ipad2 which I used to be able to access. all I get is a white/blank screen. One site is www.fodors.com. another is http://www.baseballhq.com/members/. Any suggestions?

I have no trouble with them. Try this and see if resolves the issue,
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't help, quit Safari and then relaunch it.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
If that doesn't help, try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Publishing another website

hi-
i have used iWeb to create my first website, which i'm publishing through .mac. everything's working fine, nothing to report.
i'd like however to publish another website, not related to first and was wondering why it's not working... i've created the second website and whenever i hit 'publish' nothing seems to happen. it looks like it's not published anywhere. when i select to 'visit the site', i'm taken to my first site.
are we only allowed 1 site per .mac account? is this why my second account is not being published?
HELP!
thanks!!
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Try clearing Safari's caches (CommandOptionE) and try again.
I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
I found that this method greatly increases my productivity as far as managing multiple sites.
Do you Twango?

Adobe Muse keeps crashing every time I publish any website all of a sudden

Adobe Muse keeps crashing every time I publish any website all of a sudden. Not just for the website I was working on but now all my websites. It was working perfectly fine and when I hit publish it just crashes. I have multiple copies and different websites and they are all crashing when I try to publish. It seems like it is not an error for just the one website I was working on but the entire program is not functioning correctly. Here's a screen shot of the error.

Mac or Windows? What's the error that appears? If it's an Apple Crash Report, please copy/paste the first few pages of it here.
I strongly recommend against it (for multiple reasons below) but if you uninstall Muse, then go to the Creative Cloud Desktop App, and choose "Previous Version" in the Find New Apps section there will be a dropdown arrow next to the Install button. That dropdown will list all versions of Muse.
If you've saved over top your existing file using the current version, reverting Muse won't work, since older versions cannot open files saved from newer versions. If you've don't significant work in the current version, that will be lost because you'll have to go back to the file as last saved using the prior version of Muse. Finally, there's a significant probability that error/crash is related to content in the file, network configuration, or other outside forces and if that's the case reverting won't avoid the error/crash.
If you share more info about what error you're encountering, I expect we can determine a workaround/solution.

Publish the website to the root folder (without creating a new folder)

Hi there! Sure this problem has already been discussed here many times and I'm not the only one who's interested this question, but how can I publish my website using FTP without creating a new folder, just to the root folder of my web hosting? Is that even possible or should I each time drag all the files from the folder created by iWeb and put them to the root folder manually? I'm a little bit confused. Guys help me with this, please! Many thanks in advance!!

Yes, you're right, it has been discussed for the past several years and yes, you're not the only who's interested in that question.
A simple googe search confirms it : avoid iweb sitename
Try it, if you haven't done it already.
Here's my answer :

Why am I getting an FTP Error code when I try to publish my Website?

Every time I go to publish my website from iWeb to my Yahoo domain, it completes everything EXCEPT the background part. I end up getting an FTP Server Error Code. I have called Yahoo about the issue and they were not able to help. I have checked my file names for spaces. I have checked my FTP address. I have checked just about everything, this is becoming quite aggravating! Please, someone help?

Unfortunately, Yahoo is notorious for being less than good at hosting with iWeb sites.
Perhaps look into changing your web hosting to somewhere like http://www.godaddy.com or http://www.hostexcellence.com.
