How to publish website from iWeb ?

Hi Apple Geniuses
I have downloaded Server 2.1.1 thought I would be able to publish my website after losing MobileMe hosting. I would love to publish it again but the process with Server seems to be more complicated, not to say...less straight forward. I have tried some couple of thing but unsuccessfully.
Would anyone of you recommend the step to follow using Server software only (and not recommending any third party website please) to enable the publishing of my website. Alternatively , does anyone would recommend tutorial on how to use Server to publish website.
To all of you, in advance, Thank you.
Fred

Hi Mark
I grately appreciate your support and the first couple of steps were easy to follow. However , I'm quite puzzled with the last paragraph in regard to DNS, DynIP, CNAME...
When I have allocated the folder , it did change the TCP from 80 to 443 and I manually reset it to 80...is that where you told to direct the TCP to?
Here is a snap shot of my setting
Let me know if I'm going the right route thank you.
Fred

Publish website at iWeb 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
I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

How to publish my site iWeb on a FTP servor ?

How to publish my site iWeb on a FTP servor since Mobilme is no longer available ?

You might want to check out third party hosts like Machighway or Hostexcellence or others who offer low cost website hosting. They will give you the info you need to plug into iWeb's ftp page to upload the site. they cost less than mobileme and offer more.
Apple has some tutorials on ftp and iweb. http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/#ftp

How do I upgrade from iWeb 2.0.4 to iWeb 3? I don't see it on the app store.

I've looked everywhere -- how do I go from iWeb '08 to a newer version?

It is now apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, is no longer supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
All of these issues can be solved with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the boxed iLife 11 at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

Stilllllll....... publish error from iWeb

i still getting publish error from iWeb.
Is apple fix this problem yet or they just ignoring it or dont know how to fix the problem?

i read almost all the discussions here about error on publishing to iWeb and it seems everyone have the same problem and no one can fix it.

iWeb '08 publishes to the < Sites > folder.
iWeb '06 publishes to the < iWeb > folder.
If you are using iWeb '08 you have the wrong file path.

How to create website on iweb and make it public, and tell me how to put a password on it.

Hi, can you tell me how to create website on iweb and make it public, and tell me how to put a password on it, thanks.

Find a webhosting company :

They will provide the instructions how to password protect a directory (=folder)?
Until you find one, you can practice on your own computer :

How do I publish multiple websites from iweb?

Hi, I'm new with iweb and .mac in general and wanted to know about publishing multiple accounts from my iweb.
I bought a five-user edition of .mac last week and I wanted to get at least three different websites up and running. One site is almost 50% done and has uploaded just fine but when I tried to create another site in iweb, I have no idea where it's going. I created a second account in .mac and it shows up (I can log into and everything) but how can I publish to my brand new site without the other one going through each and every time?
This question may sound really dumb but please bear and mind that I'm a newbie with iweb and mac (I just got this powerbook in Sept. 2006).
Thanks in advance,
Dale

Actually, Dale, this is a pretty common question.
If you want the different sites to load to different .mac accounts (or different sub accounts), the easiest solution is probably to set up several different user accounts on your computer, one for each .mac sub account. In each of those accounts, set the appropriate .mac info in system preferences. Seems like I've heard of another approach, but this is probably the simplest.
Have you already started building a second site in the same user account (on your computer) as the first site? If so, we'll need to walk you through domain separation, too.
One other heads up: it is very important to back up your domain files (in your case in each account). The domain file is found in ~/library/Application Support/iWeb, where ~ refers to your home folder for your user account on the computer. Make sure to make a backup copy (preferably on an external hard drive or CD) after every major change in your website. Don't be lulled into thinking that a published website serves as a backup. It is not possible to import a published site back into iWeb. The domain file is your only link to creating/editing the site in iWeb.
Please post back if you have any questions or if I haven't been clear.

How can I publish my website from iWeb?

I have created a Website on iWeb - but did not realize that I would not be able to publish via MobileMe. I cannot publish on a local folder. How can I get my site online?

You will need to find a 3rd party webhost for your website, I have been using IX Webhosting for several years now with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across.

How can I edit a published Website in iWeb again?

Hi there,
after upgrading to Leopard my former published website-folders have not been overtaken to new installed iWeb ´08.
How can I edit those older iWeb-folders (import them to new installed iWeb ´08 again) to provide from rebuilding the complete stuff?
Thanks very much for infos...
Sincerely,
Jörg Daniel

Did you find an answer on this, or give up? I've done the latter, and recommend that you also consider buying a more useful application for this purpose.
This really is an unbelievably silly oversight on Apple's part to "break" our webpage interface so that users lose their website (which I did by trying to link iweb to it) or cannot edit it in any way after a new install nor find it for edit from another machine (like my laptop).
The whole idea of this "basic" software was that we users don't need to be "savvy". But this takes savvy to a whole new level.
I recommend you, find some freeware or just buy a decent app, that actually allows you to download the website into it (like the Netscape Communicator's built-in webpage editor used to do). It allowed the user to save the currently loaded webpage, edit it, and publish it properly.
Good luck to us all.

How to publish self-contained iweb site?

I'm trying to publish a self-contained iweb site on a cd that will autorun, but I've had some problems:
1. The disk refuses to autorun on either a PC or a Mac
2. When I open the index on a PC, all of my text is highlighted in blue! It looks terrible!
Any suggestions would be great.
G5 tower/MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Assuming that you are not using any .Mac specific features, like counters or slideshows or passwords or search or comments...then using the "Publish to Folder" option would give you for all intents and purposes a "self-contained" website suitable for something like a CD. What you will end up inside your folder are two things....an index.html file and a folder (with the name of your site) containing all the pertinent files for your website. Simply drop these two items on your CD and burn.
All someone has to do is to click on the index.html file and it will launch a browser and your website. In terms of how to make it autorun, I'm not sure what to tell you. There are ways to do this, but I am not so sophisticated. I'd rather keep things simple...
What you could do rename the index.html file or an alias to the file something like "CLICK ME NOW!" and position it in the CD window so that it's the only thing visible to your viewers. That's how I would do it.

How to move sites from iWeb 1.x to iWeb 2.x

I just moved from an iMac G5 to the new Mid 07 Core 2 Duo aluminum.
I copied my user documents via network - as I did not have a firewire cable handly to do the full conversion.
However, iWeb 2 does not find my iWeb 1.x sites.
How to I port those over?
Where are the data files stored on the Mac (beisde the iDisk)?

You should find them under ~/Library/Application Support/iweb/
The default name is domain.sites. YOU SHOULD BACK THIS FILE UP. You can simply make a copy and rename it. When you open iWeb 2.0, it will upgrade your domain.sites to a domain.sites2 file, and your old file will be gone. A lot of us have been having major problems upgrading sites, so keep the old file around. Back it up and put it somewhere you won't click on it.
Apple just came up with an iWeb 2.0.1 upgrade which is supposed to fix some upgrade problems, but I am still having difficulties. In addition, the website I was working on in iWeb 2.0.0 is now missing lots of files when opened in iWeb 2.0.1
Also, in both versions of iWeb 2, the navigation bar cannot be viewed by visitors using Internet Explorer (see many other threads).
In short, I would hold off on upgrading if I were you, until further software updates.

How do you get from iweb to .mac?

hey guys.. just bought ilife 06 and a .mac for the purpose of setting up a website. i have created a site in iweb and i go to publish and i cant find it anywhere in my .mac. where is it... and am i transferring it correctly?
-payne

Hi Mark,
part of it is on your mac and part is transferred directly to your idisk (from what I can tell.)
navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites
control click on domain.sites to "show package contents" and you will see your content files. The html files are not there so I think those are uploaded directly without copying them to file on the computer (I think).
If you choose to upload to a different web space then you can save the site to a folder.

Can't republish to my website from iWeb

I created a very simple website with FatCow as my host, using a website design program made available by the host. Then I used iWeb to make some minor changes and republished to my FTP server, and that was successful. Then, using iWeb, I chose to redesign and enlarge the site with additional pages, each page consisting of a large iPhoto album, and attempted to re-publish it. That attempt failed, and so have a few other attempts to re-publish it with minor changes to pages. Some of the changes were successful, but none of the photo album contents were published - that is, they are just empty pages except for navigation bars and headers -no photos.
I have re-published successfully to a folder on my desktop with no missing content, but I don't know what this tells me. Why can I publish to a folder, but not to the site on the Web? I will be grateful to any or all who can explain what I'm missing or doing wrong.
Thanks, Rudd

Same issue here. I actually am able to see my test website in Firefox but not in Safari. Check this out:

How can I upgrade from iweb 2.0.4 to 3.0?

I'de been having problems to publish via ftp...wondering if an upgrade could make this easier..in this version I cannot put my server optionns and there is no more mobile me...
I tried four times to upload, no publishing at all

I don't quite understand what you mean by "I tried to move the folder to the desktop"?
Did you actually go through the steps that I told you to do?
iWeb will actually save and you can save your work manually, but this will be saved to your domain.sites file, which is your iWeb data file which is found under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Note that it is your User Library Folder and NOT your System Library.
You need to open iWeb and not save or move any folder to your desktop, but your need to select File and then use the 'Publish to a local folder' option and this will then create and publish your html and css files to your desktop.
If Filezilla is not working for you, then try downloading Cyberduck and use this instead. Once you have your site published to your desktop, then there should be no problem at all uploading all your html and css files to your host/server using Cyberduck.
Follow those steps and you should not have a problem, unless of course, you are trying to upload the wrong files? Cyberduck is probably easier to use and might be a better choice than Filezilla.
Also, there is no problem with compatibility and iWeb 08 and Snow Leopard. This only occurs with Moutain Lion as Roddy has already pointed out, but if you are not using Mountain Lion, then it is not applicable, but it works fine with Snow Leopard.
You can upgrade to iWeb 09 - version 3 if you want to, but this means purchasing either the iLife 11 or iLife 09 boxed set from Amazon - both contain iWeb 09, the latest version.
