IWeb doesn't publish my entire site to a local folder!!!

Hello everybody,
a few months now i have a problem on publishing my iweb sites to a local folder! For example i have a website that is 40 pages. When i press to publish it on a local folder, it starts publishing, and then i have "an unknown error occurred". When i check the folder, it has about 25-30 published pages and the others are missing. I tried with another site, that is about 10 pages and worked fine. But site with more pages have problem!
Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot!!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Launch the Console utility and see what, if any, messages regarding iWeb have been recorded. You might event watch it as you're trying to publish.
Also you can try the following:
1 - close iWeb.
2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
4 - launch iWeb and see if there's any improvement.
If that doesn't help continue:
5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
9 - launch iWeb and try again.

I can't publish my site to a local folder.

I can't publish my site to a local folder. It says "Publish Error. An unknown error occurred". There is also no Domain.site2 in iWeb folder in Application Support. I was wondering if anybody may be able to help please? I can open the site from the local folder but working on changes will not work and some catagories don't show properly. I'm using Snow Leopard, iWeb 3.0.4. OS X 10.6.8

Are you looking in the correct library. You want the Home () /Library/Application Support folder.
Or you can download and run the shareware Find Any File to search for "domain.sites2". FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't and will find the domain file.

IWeb wants to upload the entire site

I'm using iWeb with UK2.net to host my site. The problem I'm having is this; iWeb will take six hours to upload the site to uk2.net, and it seems to fine online but after the upload I get an error message telling me something went wrong. All the side bar icons remain red. So that means I have reload the entire site any time I want to add an update. It seems to want to upload the main hosting folder by over-righting it and that is why it takers so long. Has anyone else experienced this problem and has anyone any suggestion how to fix this?

The iWeb FTP does upload the whole folder of files created by the application although it shouldn't take 6 hours !
The alternative is to publish to local folder and upload using an FTP application. This way you can see the files on the server too to make sure they are all being uploaded and to the correct place...

An alternative to uploading the whole folder is to upload the contents...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/URLs-Favicons.html
The fact that you are getting an error message and the pages remain red in iWeb means the all the files aren't getting uploaded or the application is not creating the assets.http file correctly. Try the troubleshooting steps under "Fix iWeb" on this page...

Iweb doesn't publish blog or photos correctly + "Blog Summary Widget" error

Hello,
I recently upgraded my iLife to 08 and am having trouble with iWeb on two accounts.
1. My blog doesn't display online correctly, and instead I get the "Blog Summary Widget" error.
2. Any new albums do not display the photos.
In both cases I cannot see my menu at the top but get a black dot instead.
I have updated to 2.0.4 in iWeb but this hasn't solved anything.
I have tried rebuilding the blog but that doesn't work either.
At this point I have simply put a message on my blog saying it's down, but need to find a problem.
Any solutions? I haven't foung one on here yet.
Thanks.

To see the problem go to http://web.mac.com/robruhn
I don't seen any problem. Perhaps it is just your local browser cache? Try clearing your cache and using another browser.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how the pc
user can form the link?
http://web.mac.com/robruhn should work just fine, unless the person at the other end is mistyping it or something. I would suggest that you get rid of the space in your site name and republish, as that might cause problems for some systems (i.e. change Site 3 to Site3 or Site-3 or Site_3).

IWeb just started publishing half my site - every time

I use iWeb '09 to maintain my blogsite. After a trouble-free year, today its started publishing at least 100 of 250 pages when I just wanted to add one post. I've closed iWeb and reopened it and restarted my Mac - but it keeps doing it. Consequently it takes about five minutes to publish instead of 30 seconds and is using up a lot of data transfer space. I'm choosing "publish changes" and I haven't made any other changes to the site since yesterday. Does anyone know how to make it behave?
Thanks,
Gradymartin

IMO it's probably a server issue and will correct itself in time. It is not uncommon for the MMe servers to hiccup and mess up functionality.
Try the following:
1 - close iWeb.
2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
4 - reboot.
5 - launch iWeb, republish and see if there's any improvement.
Note: You may have to wait for the second change and republish to see if it is successful.

Why do I have to upload entire site each time?

Loving the iWeb stuff, except for one thing, and that is that when I change one of my hundreds of pages, I can't just seem to upload the few html pages, I have to upload everything.
One thing is I am using Adobe GoLive since I'm not using a .mac account and I don't know how to set up iWeb to upload. Even if I did, would iWeb only upload changed pages or would it not upload the entire site, every podcast, every media file, everything - it seems to when I publish to a folder.
Any refs or suggestions much appreciated.
thanks

Yes, it's true....when you are not publishing directly to .Mac, the only alternative you have is to "Publish to Folder". This publishes your entire site to a local folder. You would then need to use an FTP program to upload this to your 3rd party webserver.
I have heard good things about an FTP program called CaptainFTP. It is available here: http://captainftp.xdsnet.de/ The only reason I have remembered it is because it has some sort of synchronization function to its FTP capability and can sort out which files need to be uploaded and which files already exist on the server. For iWeb pages, I believe you have to turn off the "by date" method of detection.
Anyways, check it out. Do a search in this forum for CaptainFTP and you will see a bunch of comments and tips for using it. Good luck! I hope this helps you out.

I can't publish entire site on iWeb

I have tried to publish my entire site on Mobile Me: http://web.me.com/wwl2/Site Only the first page, the "Welcome" page, shows up even though it says that the full site is published. My URL immediately defaults to http://web.me.com/wwl2/http__web.me.com_wwl2Site/Welcome.html
What did I do wrong? Thanks!

Bonjour,
iWeb > View > Show Layout
An iWeb page has 4 parts (4 layers): the header , the navigation menu, the content, the footer.
You've moved the textbox "in the arizona heat" from the body_layer (content) into the nav_layer (menu) above the navigation menu. So you can't use the menu links.
Hold down cmd and moved this textbox under this image
!http://i22.servimg.com/u/f22/09/02/44/99/under10.jpg!
You've a second trouble: your text is a text image (http://web.me.com/wwl2/http__web.me.com_wwl2_Site/Welcome_files/shapeimage2.png) because you insert a text with web safe and non-web safe fonts. Use multiple text boxes, and one of them only for the text with web safe font.

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

Can I publish one page at a time to the ftp when publishing entire site?

I am currently using iweb to manage my website and i changed a number of pages and require to re-publish the entire site. When i go to do this it attempts to bundle all the files together and publish, but the site only allows for 8 connections via ftp. Is there a way that when i publish the entire site that i can publish one page at a time?
Thanks for your help!

Publish your site to a local folder...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
... and upload the files using an FTP application...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Upload.html
That way you can upload individual files and folders - one at a time.

Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option doesn't works

OK, guys, this is the problem...
After YEARS of testing from Acrpbat 4 thru 9 on Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option... it doesn't works properly and doesn't got the entire site. ALWAYS get an error of memory or any other error but FINALLY you NEVER got the entire site. I'm talking for a big website... not like amazon.com, but a big one.
I make a walkarround to try to capture the website in parts but Acrobat is not "intelligent" to make a resume capture of the site, because ALWAYS start from the begining instead from the resume position of the site...
My question is, HOW can get the ENTIRE SITE in a PDF document... without getting errors or stopping the capture process...
Don't have problem of low RAM memory because I'm in a MONSTER MACINTOSH.... 3.2 GHZ with 8 Core and 32 GB of RAM under Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 in Acrobat 9 Pro.
If I'm not wrong, the GET ENTIRE SITE option in Web Capture (Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option) doesn't works from Acrobat 4 thru 9 in Pro version... tested, you'll never got the entire site... I'm talking in capture a huge entire site and not a little one...
Can someone help me?
Thanks.

Ok so I go to a web page and select something to print. Once I've clicked print I switch over from printer/micosoft xps docu writer/fax and select Adobe PDF. All goes through with a 'Create Adobe PDF' coming up progressing through to eventually save and store. Once I open the file it end up as the picture above. I have the same version on another computer and that works fine but this particular Sony laptop it doesn't seem to work properly.

How do I get my gallery photo pages in iweb to publish on my site ?

HI
I have recently upgraded to iweb 09 from iweb o6. I have also upgraded from tiger to snow leopard and now have a terabite size hard drive. Iweb was working great before , but now i cannot get my website to upload correctly using ftp fetch. fetch is not the problem as i tried another ftp and had the same problem. My pages that have gallery photos on them will not show. my website is www.naomigrant.com the pages not responding are paintings sold and paintings for sale page. I have uploaded correctly , published correctly and everything looks like it has worked. But when i go to my site the images are not on those two pages. Images are showing in other pages. when i test it in iweb and it says you can visit your site , everything looks good there and you can see the images. So i am totally at a loss as to what to do. I have spent 3 days trying to fix this so far. Can anyone please help me? Should I reinstall i web?

There is no point in re-installing iWeb, because after you have published it really is not an iWeb problem - if there is something not working on uploading the files, then it is really nothing to do with iWeb after html pages have been created.
If you are using Fetch to upload, then you have obviously published your site to a local folder? If so, are the photos there when you look at your local site? If they are there when you publish to a local site, then it is an error in uploading and if photos do not show, it means that some things are not being uploaded to your server correctly.
Have you tried using Cyberduck instead of Fetch? Cyberduck or Transmit are two of the better ftp programmes to try.

Image colors get massacred by iWeb when I publish the site

Hi!
Perhaps someone can help?
I build my pages from within iWeb and the images look fine. Then I publish my site in a local folder and look at it using Safari. The images in Safari are clearly much darker than in iWeb using the same machine with the same screen. What is going on here?
Obviously, iWeb is somehow transforming the color space when it subsamples the images. But to what end, and how can this be controled?
Many thanks in advance,

iWeb is changing your images to PNG image format.
So two choices for you:
1. Convert images on your own to PNG before using them in iWeb
2. Prevent iWeb from changing your image to PNG by using the ORIGINAL SIZE button and by NOT using any effects like the frames and shadow effects

IWeb quits at half the preparation of the files when publishing the whole site

SOS ! After having saved my site on a local folder, I can't publish anymore my whole site through iWeb to FTP. iWeb quits when arriving at half the preparation of the files for publication. At one moment I had the message "Insufficient memory" (?!?). My site www.yesicannes.com is now big enough after one year of reports published with many pictures, but before I published my site on a local folder, I had no problem publishing frequent updates. But as I published on a local folder, I have to publish again the whole site and iWeb stops all the time before the publication. Any help please ?
[email protected]

I was referring to the group of links on the first page and other pages:
but now realize that's not the part of your site you're referring to.
I'm not sure how you have your magazine site organized. Based on just what i've seen on the first page of the magazine page you could put all of the December pages in it's separate site and link to the site as you link to the pages only they are in a separate sitel
To split the sites, say by month, make a copy of your domain file and name it December.sites2. Open that domain file and delete all of the pages from it except those associated with December. Then make another copy of the full domain file and delete all files except those for November. That should reduce the size of each domain file down to a more reasonable size.
You could do this all locally, i.e. publishing to a folder on your hard drive, while leaving your online site untouched until you've got it worked out. However you will have to publish them to your server so that you can get the hyperlinks between sites established. You can do this by giving the sites names, i.e. December, etc. and non with the same name as your current site. Once you have the new site(s) up and running to your satisfaction change the current site so that the magazine files are not in it's domain file and the link to the magazine
points to the new magazine site. You'll see what I mean and can refine the concept to fit what you need. I have a family site that has nearly 80 pages, each of which is a separate site. So when I finish with a page (nearly all are never edited once they are published) I can put that domain file aside (but backed up) and not have to deal with it.
You can lay it out graphically on paper to get an idea how you will want to separate and group the pages.

Iweb to Ipage publishing - new question

Hi! I've read all the other posts about publishing directly from iweb9 to ipage. I'm am able to connect and my iweb folder (called lemons) uploads to / . I can verify this with cyberduck (which I don't want to use for publishing). But when I go to my site, it is not directly opening up my "welcome" page. I get a blank page. www.katlemons.com.
I think it has something to do with my index.htm file or the directory that I'm in, but I can't fiigure it out. There is no public_html folder for ipage. It's just the / directory. I've tried several different settings for the FTP publishing in iweb. I've tried both katlemons.com and ftp.katlemons.com for the server address. Same thing happens for both (as described above). I've tried putting / in the path and also leaving it blank. Again same thing happens.
This website http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html says that an index file and the iweb folder should both upload when you publish. That is true. There is an index.htm file there in the / directory, but it's not direc
Can anyone give me any guidance on this?
Boy do I miss mobile me!

You may want to try Publishing your "Entire site" to see if that fixes your index file.

You can probably get around it by publishing your site to a local folder...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
... and then uploading with an FTP application...

This is not so easy as publishing with the iWeb FTP.
