IWeb Creates Extra "Site" Directory When I Publish Using FTP

My website URL is, http://mysite.verizon.net/eboggess. My site is "eboggess." When I publish my "site" to my ftp server at Verizon, I get the following directory structure, which includes an extra "site" directory (eboggess): http://mysite.verizon.net/eboggess/eboggess/Welcome.html. I want to get rid of the extra eboggess directory. Is there a way to publish just the contents of my "site" directory to the Verizon ftp server, so that I have a sensible web root? Thanks.

Guess I'll have to tell him to rename his site into something really pointless, like "p", to make the url be domain.tld/username/p/index.html
The url he gives people for his site should just be domain.tld/username, right?
As for what appears in the browser address bar, I always wonder why that matters to anyone, but the way iWeb works, complete iWeb sites always show the site name. iWeb's ftp does not have an option to upload incomplete sites. If you want to get rid of the site name, you must manually change the site structure either before or after uploading. If you do that, any RSS subscribe links will not work. Another option may be to forward www.domain.com to www.domain.com/sitename.
Apple can be asked to provide more ftp options in future iWeb updates via this link:

My preview site displays correctly but my live site changes when I publish it

My issue is that the preview site displays correctly however when I upload this information to the live site, the format changes and displays incorrectly.

Hi,
Are you creating the site in Muse and publishing it to BC.
If yes, can you go to File > Export as HTML, export the file to a folder on your computer and check it if you are getting same issue.

Layout of site changes when I publish it?

Hi there,
I have just updated my adobe muse site but when I publish it through the FTP host like I usually do, the layout changes?? When I preview it, the site is fine but it just isn't publishing correctly.
Here is the site www.thspa.com.au
Thank you in advance for your help
Kindest regards,
Hannah xx

Thank you so much for getting back to me : )
I exported it as HTML and it opened fine...looked perfect??? Could it be an issue with the host?? The titles are on a wierd diagonal when I open it in the browser??? I have even uploaded it to the FTP host a few times coz I thought it was just a one off glich but its still playing up?
www.thspa.com.au is the website.
Kindest regards,

If I switch on my iCloud will I still be able to access my iWeb created web site currently on MobileMe. I understand I need to find anotherhost before June, but I would like to access iCloub before then.

If I switch on my iCloud will I still be able to access my iWeb created web site currently on MobileMe. I understand I need to find another host before June, but I would like to access iCloub before then.

If you want to migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud you do so at http://me.com/move . You will need Lion 10.7.2 on your Mac to be able to use its facilities. Your calendars, contacts, bookmarks and email will be moved to iCloud.
Your iDisk, including website hosting and Gallery, will be unaffected and can still be accessed as before, though the migration process will probably sign you out in System Preferences>MobileMe and you will need to sign in again there.
You will continue to be able to use your iWeb site as before. As you say, this will cease at the end of June. This page examines some alternatives:

My GoDaddy hosted, iweb created web site will not open flash

Hello,
I'll try to be thorough:
I created a site with iWeb - It is band site.
I uploaded/published the site to godaddy.com, along with my URL www.momsgreatweed.com
If I access the URL from the Mac on which I created the site, it works fine, in SAFARI only (not firefox) even after having emptied the cache.
On all other computers (Mac and PC) I cannot open the "Tunes" page, which has a flash player and 10 mp3 files.
I receive the following error:
To view this page, you must log into area "me.com" on idisk.mac.com:80
Needless to say, this is making me slightly insane. I can't possibly be the only person to ever experience this issue. I did call GoDaddy "tech support"; but a 30 minute call turned out to be useless.
Please, before I pull my hair out...any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Be well,

You pasted the code in the HTML Snippet.
Upon further inspection I noticed the links to the tunes are wrong too :
(Sorry for the streched code)

Iweb show layout perfect, but when I publish it is different

I have a website that I have had no problems with. Recently I redid all my pages and gave them an updated look. What I have on Iweb is perfect, but when I publish the site I have stuff in different places, it un-centers things, it leaves lines out, it won't show pictures, etc. The really wierd thing is that the front page is just like I want, but the if you go to my store front and then into the neoprene page it gets totally out of whack. Is it me copying an pasting things that is causing the problem? Has anyone else experienced this?

Why don't you embed your Video of 170’ Single Cut into your page via the YouTube snippet rather than linking to it. It takes the viewer away from your site which might distract them. This demo page has examples of embedding YouTube videos: Adding YouTube Videos.
Also it appears you've used non web safe fonts and converted the text boxes to image files (the two light gray paragraph boxes on the main page is that way and the entire box is a web link. Doing that will increase the load time of a page.
Your neoprene page is messed up because it's missing a quite a few files. How are you uploading the site to your server? I suggest you publish to the Desktop and use an ftp client like Cyberduck (free) to upload just the contents of the site folder to the server. That will eliminate the double thenightmare13.com in the URL field.
You can see which files are missing by typing CommandOptionA while viewing the page. The Activity window will come up with a list of all the files for your site (and any other sites that are in tabs).
It's obvious that you probably will have a lot of visitors who use PCs and Internet Explorer. You might look at Roddy's site, iWeb for Musicians, for tips on making a site more compatible with IE which is a terrible browser. Some of the link are:
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebandInternetExplorer.html
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2021995&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1837981&tstart=0
Check with friends who are using PCs and see how well they view the site. Then you may want to try some of the tips.

IWeb uploads entire site each time I publish

I have 3 sites in iWeb .. 2 are working fine, but one of them uploads ALL the files each time I publish ... There are no errors showing ... all ok .. but always shows a red page somewhere once published. If I click publish again, it uploads everything and takes over an hour because of the video and media ... any suggestions?

I have 4 sites that I am creating on iweb 08
You're posting in the 09 forum.
To accomplish what you want , you should consider doing this :
Go to :
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
where ~ is your Home drectory and duplicate the domain.Sites2 file as many times as neccesssary.
Give each file a descriptive name.
1. Double-click a file to open it in iWeb.
2. Delete the Sites you do not want, leaving the one you do want.
3. Do Save and quit iWeb.
Repeat 1 to 3 with another file.
You can now edit and publish each Site without the others.
For your convenience, drag the folder to the dock. Next time click it and choose the file you want.
For even more convenience, skip the steps above and buy --iWeb-- iLife 09. Then you can publish the Site of your choice independent of the other Sites in the file.

How can I create a directory on my server using FTP in applescript?

Hi
I have created a script which successfully uploads files to my server using FTP and a curl command.
The one thing I haven't worked out how to do is how to create a directory on my server using applescript. At the moment I have to manually create the correct directory for the script to work, but would like to be able to automate everything.
Would this be possible?
Thanks
Nick

Thanks Bernard.
I have tried that and still get the error message:
"curl: Can't open '--ftp-create-dirs'!
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:01 --:--:-- 0
curl: (9) Server denied you to change to the given directory"
The other relevant parts of the script are:
set ftp_url to "ftp.****.org.uk/artists/" & artistName2 & "/assets/"
set ftp_username to "*****@*****.org.uk"
set ftp_password to "****"
set ftp_entire to ftp_username & ":" & ftp_password & " ftp://" & ftp_url
set outPath to outputFolder & fileCounter & ".jpg"
and then...
do shell script ("curl -T --ftp-create-dirs " & outPath & " -u " & ftp_entire)
Like I said, all works fine when the directories are already in place. I have permissions for the artists folder set to "777", i.e. writable. Because the script is trying to create two directories at once, i.e. "artistName2" and then "assets" under it, I wondered if this was significant, but then I tried with just one new directory, and still got the error.

Can Grid Control 10gR2 create a standby database when primary db uses ASM?

Does anyone know if Grid Control 10gR2 will be able to create a standby database when the primary database uses ASM for data files, redo log files, and archive log files but the standby database will use mounted disks? If it can, would it matter that the primary db will be a RAC cluster and the standby will be a single instance db?

I appreciate your reply and hope you are correct. Have you had a look at the 10gR2 Grid Control to confirm this or are you only going on published statements? The reason I ask is because previous versions of Grid Control claimed to support ASM but they would only allow you to work with them AFTER you had created a standby database manually but you couldn't actually use Grid Control to create a standby database from a primary database that had its log files on ASM disks.

Photo Albums & Photos Disappear when publishing using ftp

Hi,
I am having trouble with both my iweb sites photos. There is two main problems:
1. An album that appears normally in iweb is not visable on the published site
2. An album will have random photos that are missing and replaced with a blank on the published site
Some things I have tried:
- I publish via ftp, so I tried publishing to a local folder - The albums and photos work normally
- I tried republishing with a 3rd party cyperduck - same problem
- I thought maybe it was therefore a ftp problem. So I logged in to my hostings file manager and check if the files are actually on the server - but they are..
- I tried republishing the entire site - same problem
An example can be seen on the following - the third album is completely missing and if you go into the other albums, there will be random gaps where other photos are missing.
http://www.gippmed.com/My_Albums/My_Albums.html
Similar problem on this site, on the USA album, there is two photos missing towards the bottom:

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Cyclosaurus,
Thank you for your reply. Sorry to bug you again but can I ask some further questions? Pls excuse my lack of knowledge on these things.
In relation to your points:
1) In the ftp publishing settings, public_html is acutal in where it says "site name", where it says "URL" I have http://www.gippmed.com. I was advised to put public_html in "site name" from my hosting. If I put anything else it publishes the entire site to a folder with that name on the server and is not viewable online?
2) I have removed the spaces in the album page name and will reupload soon. In relation to the image file names, am I correct in saying that iweb is naming them from the captions? Do you really have to use one word captions or use underscores, it looks a little odd? I have read troubleshooting articles about iweb and spaces and it also recommends similar as you are, suggesting that all page names should have underscore instead of spaces. Problem is, if for example I change the page name "About Me" to "About_Me" iweb automatically changes it in the navigation menu and this looks silly to have undescores in the Nav Menu. Is there a way around this?
Lastly, a new problem that I have never had before:
Previously, iweb would remember what I had published and only publish new site changes. Now, every time I turn my computer off and on, I open iweb and it doesn't recognise any of the previous publishing, ie it republishes the entire site.
Thank you again for your help

My pinned tab for Firfox 4, for Window 7 keeps creating new windows. When it never used to. Why is it making another window when I already have a tab at the bottom?

My pinned tab for Firefox 4, for Window 7 keeps creating new windows when I click it. When it never used to. Why is it making another window when I already have a tab at the bottom?

Hmmm, mine stack up over the pinned icon as you would expect (Win7Pro x64). Is there anything special about the way you're starting up Firefox? Security sandbox? Using any command-line switches?

Publish using ftp

once i publish to a folder, how do i publish it to my website using ftp? just upload the entire folder as it is and put the index.html file outside of the folder? or do i upload the folders contents into my home directory? i cant get it to work right.

You can do either.
If you upload the entire folder including the index.html file and the site folder, your site urls will be www.yourdomain.com/sitename/pagename.html.
If you just upload the contents of the site folder directly without the enclosing folder and without the outside index.html file, your site urls will be www.yourdomain.com/pagename.html (there is an index.html file within the site folder as well).
I do the former because outside of the site folder I have several other items and folders that iWeb doesn't touch that are essential to the running of my site, eg javascript resources. I can add to or change these safe in the knowledge that they won't get overwritten when iWeb republishes.

TA24927 My videos aren't showing when I open Iweb, but they do show when I publish the site, any ideas why?

They do play in the browser just not in the application, makes it hard when I try to organize the page

Well, if the video displays after publishing then nothing is wrong.
If you cannot see the video in iWeb, then your code probably does not allow it to display in the application.
In that case, imagine that you see the video.
If that's too difficult, use a picture.

I am unable to open my iWeb-created web site, for which I have a backup.

My web site is online and I want to access it to make changes. It does not appear when I open iweb, but I have a backup copy on my desktop. When I move backup onto icon for iweb, it doesn't open it. How can I open it again? Since my last opening of it, I've installed the new OS-X software - 10.9
I'm not very computer literate, but I did download the file:
file:///Users/monicaanderson/.Trash/iWeb%20Switch%20Domain.app/
file:///Users/monicaanderson/.Trash/iWebDrop%2013-50-25-235.app/
I copied these links from my download folder and neither would open.
Can anyone help me -- in simple terms
Thank you

iWeb has no import facility, so is unable to open any published website at all.
All the data from your iWeb sites is stored in what is called your domain.sites files. These can be located under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Find this file and double click it and iWeb will open it.
The User Library is hidden in Mavericks, so to display it you need to click on the Go menu at the top and then click the alt key and your User Library will then be displayed and then you need to go to Application Support and then iWeb and then you will find your domain.sites files from there.
If you can't find these files, then you are looking at re-building your site from scratch and there is no way in which you can alter your site because unfortunately the backup of your site that you need is your domain.sites files and not a published version - this is not good in iWeb because iWeb has no import facility so cannot open it.
