IWeb - Can't Publish Changes

Apple announced support for iWeb publishing until June 30th. I am no longer permitted to publish changes to my site.
Is there any way around this until I transfer the site to a new webhosting service?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the problem is not repeated with the test library then your current library is damaged.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy if you don't already have one (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Can't publish changes - buttons disabled

Dear all,
I can not publish changes to my sitethrough iWeb. The buttons are disabled to publish and I have no ideawhat to do... I have to update my website! I have 2 mac computers athome, but just one of them is with all the site that I've donebefore. It's EMMANUELEBALDINI.ME
I have Time Capsule also, but I don'tknow how to copy the whole site in it.. and also, how to update mywebsite.
First it has appeared UNKNOWNPUBLISHING ERROR OCCURS. THE DISK MAY BE DAMAGED, FULL, OR YOU MAYNOT HAVE SUFFICIENT and I tried to cancel some dates to fix thisproblem and now it doesn't appear this message, but the buttons andthe option to publish the website don't appear.
Some help?
Please...
Fernanda

First we need some details: where are you hosting the site? Have you visited the site to see if the changes have been made? Try clearing your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and relaod the site.
Have you tried publishing your site to a folder on your hard drive? If not do so.
A first fix attempt can be the following:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.

Can't Publish changes using FTP

Ok, here is the whole story! At first I published my site using mobile me but then realized that my URL was way too long and not what I wanted since I am making a business site and wanted www.businessname.com. So, I bought a domain from godaddy and then hosted my site using that account. NOW, when I try to publish changes or even republish the entire site to make changes, nothing happens! It will say that my site is now published but then when I click visit site, a message comes up saying that the mobileme page I am looking for can not be found???? But I am not using mobile me to publish anymore!!! Any idea what I need to do? Thanks!

Okay, so when you purchased your domain name from GoDaddy did you also buy a hosting account from them?
If you didn't do this, then you are not publishing using ftp at all. You are still publishing to MobileMe, but you simply need to direct your domain name to web.me.com using CNAME forwarding.
If you did purchase hosting from GoDaddy too, then perhaps rather than using the built in iWeb ftp, you should publish to a local folder and upload to your server space using Cyberduck or Transmit which you can download for free.

IWeb won't publish changes to website without adding "/SiteName"

I'm trying to publish changes to my website with a URL that is an established domain name.
When I click "Publish Site", iWeb adds "/SiteName" to the URL and the changes are
published to "URL/SiteName". But when I search for my site on Google (it pops up
readily as the website has been accessed many many times), the OLD, UNCHANGED
website with the old URL comes up. To get the revised website, users would have
to specifically use the CHANGED URL, "URL/SiteName."
Every time I try to remove "Site Name" from the blank for Site name, iWeb puts
"SiteName" back in. How do I keep the Site name slot blank so that iWeb will
publish my changes to the old familiar URL that can be found on Google?
As a Server engineer commented to me, "There has been a folder called [SiteName] uploaded
recently to the root [URL] of your account. This make me suspect that iWeb is set to publish in the
wrong directory. Make sure it is publishing to the public_html directory."
I put "public_html" into Directory/Path. Still no changes to my website at URL; changes have
been published only to "URL/SiteName".
Any help available?

That is the way that iWeb works and it is normal practice to get the url with the Sitename in it. As you have found, if you try to leave the sitename blank, iWeb will put it back in.
The server engineer that you spoke to is correct that your site folder has been uploaded to your 'public_html" folder on your server.
If you want your url without the sitename included, then you need to upload the contents only from your site folder and NOT the whole folder itself and then your url will be http://www.domain.com without the http://www.domain.com/sitename/page name.html.
You can achieve this by publishing your site to a local folder from iWeb and then you need to download an ftp programme such as Cyberduck or Yummy ftp. You then use either of these 2 to upload only the contents of your site folder to your 'public_html' folder on your server and if you just upload the contents and NOT the whole folder itself, then your url will be http://www.domain.com.
Sometimes putting 'public_html' into the Directory/Path will not work and you'll need to strart from scratch, so you'll need an ftp programme so that you can link up to your server and you can see exactly what is in your public_html folder on your server and delete the site folder and start again, by then uploading just the contents of your site folder rather than the whole folder itself.
Ultimately, what you need to do is upload the contents and the contents only of your site folder and NOT the whole folder itself to get your url back to http://www.domain.com without the sitename.

I forgot the iWeb password to publish changes on my site

Been a while since I've made changes to my site. When I was asked for the password to publish changes, none of the passwords I tried were successful. I can't find anywhere to retrieve the correct one or change to a new one.

If you published it to MobileMe, nothing will work; MobileMe is closed and iCloud doesn't offer web hosting.
If you published it somewhere else, use the password for that hosting service. If needed, contact them.

Have run out of room on iweb, can't publish. Can I delete data and reclaim space?

I have been working on my website for ages, constantly doing and redoing and saving each time. Now I get a message that I've run out of room & can't publish. I kow I can buy more space, but it's annoying because I'm sure there is a mass of trash I could delete from the changes I've made. But where is it, and how can I dump it. Is it possible?

It's a regular error with MobileMe. Usually it says that you run oit of space.

Help! iWeb can't publish to .Mac & folder, keeps hanging.

Hi guys, would appreciate your help here. I'm new to to using iWeb. Just purchased and installed iWeb a couple of days ago. I've designed my webpages using iWeb and uploaded into www.mac.com, just the basic Welcome, About Me and Blog pages.
But after that 1st successful attempt, my iWeb can't synchronise with iDisk & .Mac properly and it froze in the middle of the publishing process. I was forced to force quit iWeb. Subsequent attempts to publish using the Publish button and Publishing to Folders alternatives yielded the same results - connection error, hanging of iWeb and fruitless synching of webpages to iDisk & .Mac. So ended up can't proceed or update my already published webpages.
After that I registered another .Mac account and tried publishing directly, publishing to folder, synchronising etc... but still no luck as iWeb either hanged, gave error box stating "check internet connection or totally didn't synch the files at all to Homepage though the process went thru.
I also discovered that after restarting my powerbook, there are folders in the trash with names such as com.apple.iWeb584_1862039531. Does that render iWeb unfunctionable.
Any help is much appreciated.
Powerbook PPC G4 1.33Ghz 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 768MB DDR SDRAM, 80GB HDD

My site is very small. The capacity taken up indicated by iDisk after synching is only 1MB. Bandwidth tests indicated an estimated 4700kbps download speed and 300kbps upload speed. Currently, I'm subscribed to a 10Mbps ADSL broadband plan and connected wireless to the router *** modem.
The present configuration for the internet settings include a web proxy (HTTP) as given by my ISP. I've read somewhere in this forum that proxies may filter or block non-standard html codes generated from/by iWeb.
I've tried to bypass that proxy by connecting via ethernet cable to the router and unchecking the proxy setting. But another error occurred stating 'configuration error' by iWeb.
So does the problem lie with the proxy settings or with iWeb itself?
PS: I can't get my ISP to turn off the proxy, and the only way to take away that proxy is to terminate the internet subscription.

Can't publish changes to live site. Keep getting error message.

I can't publish small changes to live site.
Looks good in preview but won't publish
Deleted 2 photos and added 2 words.

The error went away over the weekend but now when I update/publish and then go to the site the changes don't appear.

IWeb can't publish...

says "You are offline. Please check your internet connection"....but my internet connection is fine. In fact, if I click "visit published site" it connects just fine.
I tried publishing to a local file in "Documents" and that also returns an error:
"Can’t create the file “nav-9-CB002521-bk.png.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges"...but I have privliges and the disk is far from full....
I have hours and hours invested in this site. Praying that I can get it publishing again!

As Ethmoid mentioned Flux can read and edit an existing iWeb site. It will be very comples as iWeb creates very complex sites with lots of javascript. If you wanted to make minor changes to the site I believe Flux could do so but it will require a learning curve.
Depending on the size and complexity of your website it would be better, IMO, to create the site from scratch with Flux or whatever website design software you decide on.
As far as you current problem try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

IWeb won't publish changes

I made changes to my first page and I've tried everything (I think) to get the new page up on .Mac. Emptied cache, viewed in Safari, IE & Firefox, deleted my entire site from .mac. I've tried changing the linked buttons and publishing to .mac. I've tried publishing all to .mac.
I do have the site published on a separate server but need this link operating properly. Could there somehow be a conflict with the pages on another server? At any rate I've deleted every old file I can find on my mac, on .mac, on my other server...
Of course this happened about 20 minutes after announcing the site to prospective clients.
Thanks for any clues.

I just tried publishing all and got a error message on one of the files. The time before that it said the .mac server was busy.
Here's the site:
http://web.mac.com/patrickfifth/iWeb/EstanciasInArgentinaiweb/EstanciasInArgenti na.html
It seems the biggest issue is the first page, once it finally seemed to replace the old page with the new it converted the text all weird.
Thanks for your help.

Iweb was not publishing changes to my personal domain name, AND now it won't let me publish at all!

Hi, i am new to the apple community so bare with me whilst i struggle to explain...
I recently purchased a hosting site through netregistry.net. www.toyboxtherapies.com.au I spoke to them to allow the changes to the CNAME through their site.They did this for me. Once they did this my original 3 page site that I had published to mobileme came up.
When i added changes to the site, none of them were published even though iweb said they had been. I gave the site 48 hours (well, i gave them a week) to update the changes.
I went to double check today and now iweb wont let me publish to my domain name at all, it just lists File>Set up personal domain on mobile me.
When I log into mobile me my domain name is there. I have tried removing t and setting it up again, but nothing is happening with iweeb. Still the same problem.
Please help! I am trying to get this business off the ground and its all very frustrating!

This is what I see in a Lookup :
; <<>> DiG 9.6-ESV-R4-P3 <<>> www.toyboxtherapies.com.au cname +multiline +nocomments +nocmd +noquestion +nostats +search
;; global options: +cmd
www.toyboxtherapies.com.au. 3600 IN CNAME web.me.com.
It means that the CNAME record points to MobileMe.
So go where you manage your domain and delete the CNAME record and change the A-record(s) to point to your new webhost.
It takes some time for the changes to propagate thru the internet. A minimum of 20 minutes.
Note that when you publish to MobileMe, iWeb recieves the domainname information from the MobileMe server. Only when you publish elsewhere you have to enter the domainname. But if you do not change the settings where you host your domainname, it still directs to MMe. But that's beyond iWeb.

Iweb not showing published changes in safari

After making changes in iweb I publish them to a local folder and then use Cyberduck to publish them to the Rage server. The changes do not show up in Safari, yet they do using Firefox and Google Chrome. I have cleared the cache, cleared the history, rebooted numerous time and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Clear your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and reload the page.

Can't publish changes

I use iWeb 1.1.2 and Safari 2.0.4. I have a small webpage with three tabbed pages. I made some changes in one page, to add hyperlinks and those published perfectly. However, despite making similar changes to another page and repeatedly trying to publish, the changes to the second page (neither text not added hyperlinks) simply will not take.
I have cleared the cache in Safari and used "Publish All" on several occasions to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Martin

Thanks for your reply. The webpage is about my rather boring hobby of collecting golf putters, and is useful for posting as a link on hobbyists forum signatures.
I set the pages up under several tabs, and later decided to add hyperlinks to the manufacturers website and make a few typographical changes. On one tab 'Nick Faldo', the changes took very simply, but on the other one 'Putters', they would simply not take.

IWeb won't publish changed pages, just entire site

Hi folks, I have iWeb 09 and use ME as my webhost. I'm having an issues when I create additional pages iweb now publishes the entire site and not just changes. In the past published pages were blue and changed pages were red, now all pages stay red even after a successful site update.
of course this is rather annoying and time consuming as i have several gigs on my site, when only changing 1 page it takes hours to publish.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jon

David:
I just discovered one reason the iWeb keeps displaying icons red when publishing to a folder.
How are you publishing the site? To a folder and then uploading via an FTP client? If that's the case then are you deleting that folder after you upload? Again if that's the case then that's the problem. When publishing to a folder iWeb looks for for a plist file something like this: assets.file/--localhost-Users-toad-WSM%20Input-Helper%20Site-.plist. If that file is missing from the folder iWeb thinks this is a first time publication and publishes all the pages. You need to create a permanent folder to publish the site to and not delete between edits and republications. This is what it should look like:

Bottom line: don't delete the site and files after publishing to a folder.

Can't publish changes after updating to '08

I just updated to iLife '08 and was able to publish, though none of the new material came through. Does anyone have suggestions?

If you are publishing to .Mac, iWeb '06 published to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb and iWeb '08 publishes to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites.
Go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and see if your new folder is there. Double click the index.html file to launch your site from .Mac to make sure all is well.
The URL to get to your updated site will now have the format ....
http://web.mac.com/username/websitename/pagename.html
Enter your URL in the browser, launch your website and bookmark it.
