Make sure you upload both the folder produced by iWeb and the external index.html file to the root folder on the server.
If you are not sure about which folder is the root, ask you hosting services tech support.
If you have a domain name, contact your registrar to get it to point to the location of your files.

I created a website using iWeb, then published to MobileMe, how can i publish to iCloud?

I created a website using iWeb, then published to MobileMe, Mobile Me is now closed, how can i publish to iCloud?

iCloud does NOT allow you to host your web sites. You can continue to use iWeb but, will need a 3rd party web host to upload your websites to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder

Using iWeb to publish to existing domain

I have a domain which is being hosted by an individual. I want to take over the management of it, so I am redesigning it using iWeb. I don't want to publish it to my .mac; I want it to be published at my current domain. (I hope I am articulating this correctly, since I am still pretty green with a lot of the lingo.)
I tried doing this using Transmit. I'm having problems. Does anyone know how to do what I am attempting to do? Thanks so much to anyone who can educate me.

Well first off you need to publish your site to a folder from iweb. Go to file and publish to a folder. This will give you an index.html and folder. Upload both of these to your webspace via transmit. In transmit there are two windows left is your stuff and right is their stuff. Locate you index and folder in the your stuff window. Once you sign in to your host space and connect, simply drag the index.html and the folder over to their space. Depending on how big the site is it may take a minute. And when it stops and goes back to idle your done. I just started using transmit, but I have 3 sites up with no problems. Post back if you need further help. Good luck

How do I get iWeb to publish just the files to my root directory

Hey all, when I publish my site to my hosting server via iWeb it's just copying the entire folder into my root directory instead of copying the files to the root directory. This is causing my site url to look like this: www.mysite.com/myfolder/ how do I get iWeb to publich the files in the "myfolder" to my server instead of the entire folder?

I needed to do this while keeping ftp publishing inside iWeb, and so I developed a sneaky solution. I just figured this out, so there may be some extra steps in here. Here goes:
Find the iWeb application on the computer you are publishing from.
Control-Click on the application and choose "Show Package Contents".
In the window that appears, open the folder "Contents".
Control-Click on the folder "Resources" and choose "Get Info".
In the window that appears, open the "Sharing and Permissions" drop-down.
Click the lock in the lower-right corner and enter your password.
Where it says "Read Only" across from "Everyone", click the arrows and choose "Read and Write".
Close the "Info" window and open the "Resources" folder.
Find the "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" file and change the permissions (repeat steps 4-7 but with "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" instead of the "Resources" folder).
Open the "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" file in TextEdit.
Find the line "<string>/Web/Sites</string>".
Change it to "<string>/Web</string>".
Save and close the text file.
Restart iWeb.
Go to your publishing settings and enter the information for your server. Point the "Directory/Path" to the folder above your server's root web folder.
Set "Site Name" to the name of your server's web folder.
Make sure that none of the files in your server's web folder have the same name as those iWeb would upload.
Select File>Publish Entire Site.
It should now publish your site to "http://www.yourdomain.org/Home.html".
Hope it works!

Can I make another website using iWeb,then publish it to a different server through the SMTP panel on iWeb

Can I make another website using iWeb, and then publish it to a different server through the SMTP panel on iWeb, even though I have a website published on mobile me, can I just use the SMTP engine to publish a different site but to a different server, that's the question I'm asking. I'm hoping for a quick reply. Thank you for your time in reading this.

Yes. You can do it one of two ways:
1 - select FTP Server in the Publish To menu (click on the site folder to get to the options) and enter the FTP address, username and password and publish as you would if using MMe.
2 - select Publish to Folder and publish. Use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck to upload the site files to there server using the FTP address, etc.

Using iWeb to publish to two sites separately

Here's my situation: I purchased a Family Pack .mac so I get 5 sites. I will use one for my own use, my wife will use one, and my son will use one.
We would like to use one of the two remaining accounts primarily to put up a website for a friend of ours who is working as a missionary in Africa.
So on my wife's computer, we want to use iWeb to build two sites, publish one in one .mac account and publish the other in another .mac account.
So far iWeb keeps publishing them in the same account.
Any ideas?

The easiest thing for you to do would be to create a separate account on your wife's computer for this additional .Mac account that you wish to publish to. You can add this System account under System Preferences>Accounts. Then log into this account and add the additional .Mac information into the System Preferences there. Launch iWeb and create your page. When you publish, it will be published using the extra .Mac account.
This way...no juggling of Domain files. No switching back and forth of .Mac account information. Just log into the separate account to edit and publish this separate website on this .Mac account. Then your wife can log back into her own account to edit her own websites. Easy.

Using iWeb to publish to a non mac account

I guess the question is in the subject.
I'm just wondering if it is possible to use iWeb to create your website, but then send it to a different domain/server?

nuorder72,
Welcome to the discussions.
Easily done. Create a new folder on your desktop, and name it for your site. From the file menu in iWeb, choose File/Publish to a folder..., and select this new folder. iWeb will deliever your site, in it's own folder, and the index.html file needed for the site. You will upload both of these as they are to your server, using an ftp client.
Some good tips and more details on this can be found in these notes by Tom Gewecke.

Using iWeb to publish to a non.mac domain

Can I use iweb to develop a web site and publish to a domain that is not .mac?
Or can I host a non.mac domain on .mac?

Can I use iweb to develop a web site and publish to a
domain that is not .mac?
Yes, you can. But not directly from iWeb. You will develop your pages in iWeb but the choose the "Publish to Folder" option. This will put all the files necessary for your website in a folder on your hard drive. You will then need to use an FTP program to upload the site files to your 3rd party web host.
Or can I host a non.mac domain on .mac?
Yes, you can also do this. You can do your pages in iWeb and then "Publish to .Mac". Then you can use "Domain Forwarding" available from your registrar or some other redirecting html to forward people who type in your domain name to you .Mac iWeb URL.
Either method will work fine. You will lose out on .Mac specific features (like slideshows, counters, passwords, comments, search) if you host your pages on a 3rd party web host. Also you lose the ability to do incremental uploads (uploading only changed pages) directly from iWeb if you're not using .Mac.
Good luck to you. If this has been useful information to you, please do me a favor and click the "solved" or "helpful" buttons in the title bar of this reply. Thanks.

Using IWeb to publish a site in two languages

I have used IWeb successfully to create my new website and am using mobileme as the domain provider. I want to produce this website in two languages, ideally having a 'button' to press where you can choose your language option if the site appears in a language you cannot read (ie it is published firstly in indonesian language but there are people who want to access it in english).
Does anyone have nay experience / ideas about this?
thanks

See this page...

The above site is available in more than one language.

Can use iweb and publish sites without a mobileme account?

I have a old imac and it died and I lost all of my websites and Im afraid that I cant republish the websites without a mobile me account… anyone know what I can do ?

When you 'lost your websites' do you mean you lost the 'Domain' file in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder? iWeb keeps all its information there and if you do not have it you will have to recreate your site from scratch. If this is the case I would most strongly advise not using iWeb - it's not been sold or supported for some time now, and indeed v2 ('08) does not work with Mavericks: v3 may stop working on a future update. There are many other programs for making websites - Everweb is popular and is designed to be very like iWeb, with more facilities.
If you do have the Domain file then you can publish to any website hosting service as outlined by Old Toad. There is a more detailed description of the process for the two different versions here:
http://wilmut.uk/missing2
However if you are going to use iWeb remember that as I said a future system upgrade may very well break it; and you would find it very difficult to update the site by editing the published pages in the absence of being able to use iWeb and the Domain file.

How can I use iWeb to create website that contains a lot of downloadable audio files?

Hi
How to use iWeb to create a website that contains a downloadable audio files. I'm uloading about 15 GB of audio files. I need to creat folders "albums" and then put the files in these folders. Any advise?
Thank you very much for your time to this
W B

The important thing is not to put the audio files directly into iWeb: if you do that then every time iWeb decides it needs to upload the entire site you will find yourself uploading all 15GB of audio files, which won't make you happy. Start by uploading the files to the server - in folders as suits you - and then link to them in iWeb.
If you want them to download rather than play, you may be able to set up an .'htaccess' file in the folder which will force a download - it depends on whether your hosting service will allow this. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/missing/download.html
Here is an example of a simple link which produces a download (without the process described the audio file would play in the browser in a blank page):
http://rfwilmut.net/stars/dawson2.mp3
Then all you need to do is to provide a link, designed however suits you, in your iWeb page. If your server won't allow the .htaccess file then you will have to ask visitors to control-click (Mac) or right-click (Windows) on the link and choose 'Download linked file' or equivalent - not so convenient; or otherwise zip the files first, which won't much reduce their size but will force a download (and of course the recipients will have to unzip them).
If you want the files to play in a player in the page, you can use an html snippet to provide a player as described in this page (you will also need to upload a script to the webspace - this is provided in the page):
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/qtembed.html

How can I use iweb 1.1.2 for more than one user account on my macbook?

I wonder if someone can guide me or point me to a previous answer on this, since I haven't found one. I'm simply trying to use iweb 1.1.2 on two user accounts (both labled as administrators) on our macbook. The program functions fine on one account, but when I switch over to another user account on the computer iweb will open, but does not let me start a new page, save, etc.
Thanks much for any response.

Welcome to the discussions. If iWeb's menus are greyed out, the following trick has worked for some:
In the user account which does not let you start a new page, save, etc. — Quit iWeb. Start iPhoto. Select a couple of photos, click on the iWeb icon at lower right and choose Photo Page. iWeb will open up and invite you to choose a template for your new Photos page. Choose any template so that the page is created and then delete that newly created page.
...Now perhaps things are no longer greyed out in iWeb.

In using iWeb to publish my site with FileZilla, I have inadvertently published a subdirectory instead of the root site. Can anyone guide me?

In the site name I put my site: combustionevent.com
And I put in my server address in the ftp settings and correct user name & password
In the website URL I typed in: www.mysitet.com
But when it publishes, it's found at: http://www.mysite.com/www.mysite.com/mysite_Home.html
I can't seem to figure out how to get it out of a subdirectory.
Thanks,

Well, of course you won't be able to because producing the site folder, which is what it is is normal practice for iWeb. Due to the site structure, iWeb will create and publish a site folder.
To get over this you have 2 choices:
1. Change the site name to something shorter and more applicable and upload again and keep the site folder.
2. Publish your site to a local folder from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to iWeb, but upload the CONTENTS ONLY of your site folder rather than the whole site folder itself. Your url will then be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.

Using iWeb to publish to different services

I have iLife 2008, and I also use a dot-Mac account.
I want to publish a handful of different web-sites for different organizations.
One organization would use the dot-Mac account. Another uses a separate web server that has nothing to do with dot-Mac.
There may be a third organization, a local Mac user group, which may need a web-site. If so, it would be published to their own dot-Mac account.
Is it possible to publish different iWeb projects to different places? If so, how is it done?

Walt:
You may want to have a different iWeb Domain.sites2 file for each of those sites to make managing, editing and publishing easier. 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 original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
