Iweb/fetch/godaddy hosting-not loading

Need help. I designed my website on iweb and bought hosting thru godaddy, used fetch for FTP--tried to load the site and it wouldn't appear when I went to my site. I asked godaddy support for help. Here's how they answered:
Currently your index.html page is loading, but the code on this page is redirecting to remakeyourplace.com/REMAKE YOUR PLACE.html. You will need to add this page, or change the coding on your site. Unfortunately, we do not provide technical support with third-party scripting issues. You may wish to consult with a community forum online or do a search on your favorite search engine as other users may have encountered a similar problem in the past and may offer helpful solutions.We thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Can someone tell me in simple terms how to solve this problem? Obviously I have no idea what I'm doing, I just want to get my website up and running.I could really use the help. thx

"put" (the term fetch uses for loading) the entire folder to my website
That does not sound correct. The instructions tell you to upload two items: the folder which has the same name as you gave your site inside the iweb app, plus the index.html file which iWeb creates alongside that folder. The folder also has an index.html inside it, and that is fine, but in your server space you must be able to see two separate items, one file called index.html and one folder with the name you gave your site.
To avoid possible confusion, try publishing to your desktop, so you can clearly see the index.html file and folder which iWeb creates and which both need to be uploaded.

IWeb Site, GoDaddy hosting

Been having major problems with GoDaddy, anybody had trouble with them
They are driving me nuts, It took 5 days of emails just to get the site up, then two JS slideshows can't be found, the problem is on-going!
Anyone?

Tom,
Upped the site via transmit, files went up no problem. After numerous emails to GD I finally got the site up. Only to be told by GD that to run the two JS slideshow pages I would have to upgrade, which I did. It took three days to 'migrate' (GD's description) the site to the new plan. Then zero. no site at all. GD keep telling me to change various settings, which I did, and the site is still not up. Today after a further two days of waiting the site is up, well of course without the slideshow pages, they are there but the links to the GD server cannot find the pages. So I am back were I started from.
Well actually it gets worse, the two slideshow folders I uploaded with Transmit, have the old names I assigned them before there was a problem (I re-named them, because I thought it may have been part of the reason they would not load). After deleting all the files from the GD server using Transit, and uploading the new files with new names, the links to the slideshows still have the old link names, also to make matters worse I now cannot delete the folders from the GD server using Transmit (a permissions problem the message says). I have of course contacted GD with the latest 'development' but I am hoping, probably in vain, you or some other kind soul may offer some insight!
Here's hoping
Thanks in advance

Video-iweb-fetch-godaddy. Videos on site play on PC, not on Mac. Ideas?????

I have created a website with video in Iweb. I used Fetch to upload it to godaddy. The site, including videos work flawlessly when viewing from a PC. When viewing from a Mac, the entire site works however the videos will not play. You can see the video window and what appears to be the progress bar indicating that the video is loading. When you hit the play button...nothing. In fact the entire player interface fails to function. I am not able to operate the sound button, the menu button, etc.
Does anyone have any ideas.

UPDATE
OK I have discovered that it is purely the interface with the player. I was able to get the videos to play & pause on my Mac by double clicking right on the player screen. Once playing, I was also able to use right and left (home & end) buttons to frame by frame.
I am going to need to get this interface working though.
Any insight from anyone?

IWeb and GoDaddy Hosting of Multiple Sites

GoDaddy users: I have the solution. I have 8 sites all hosted from one host account.
The key is you must have a separate FTP login for each website. In the past I would just use the root. Now, each site has its own.
Examples:
iWeb document name:memorialslive
Site Name: meorialslive
Server address: studiobuzz.biz
User name: memorialslive
Directory/Path: BLANK
URL://www.memorialslive.com
=================
iWeb document name:ministrieslive
Site Name: ministrieslive
Server address: studiobuzz.biz
User name: ministrieslive
Directory/Path: BLANK
URL://www.ministrieslive.com
Etc.
What is also great is that the visit button now works too.
All is good. Apple is once again vindicated.

This is the answer to those of you having troubles with FTP uploads to your GoDaddy web host and maybe others.

Iweb and godaddy hosting

So I just purchased iweb and plan to create a website for when i travel to South Africa. Problem is I declined to sign up for .mac because I really only need it for 4 months and don't want to pay $99.
Godaddy.com seems to have some better prices but is there anyone here who can walk me through what I'd need to do to post my iweb creations to such a service? I need an ftp program right? Which should I use and how do I use it? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Will

here here... I second that. I have had godaddy a long time, even while I had .mac. I got iWeb last night, and whipped up a couple images from MY trip to South Africa over the last two weeks!! interesting coincidence. take a look at what I did.
www.jrog.com
I used the blog system to link in multiple photo albums, as I don't see myself creating much in the way of blogs in the conventional sense, but it is handy to be able to create a new image gallery.
Godaddy gave me free hosting, but I ended up paying for the basic service, some $36 a year for 5GB of storage and 250G of monthly data transfer. Pretty insane if you ask me.
I told the salesman at the apple store last night that I would go back to .Mac the moment they allow for personal domain name compatability. Even Google's gmail allows you to setup an alternate domain name, and send emails as that domain user.

IWeb 08 - Custom Fonts not loading Anymore

All,
When I had iWeb '06 installed I could use custom fonts when designing and the fonts would display on any computer without having to install them. It seems that iWeb '06 used to load them as images.
Now in iWeb '08 that doesn't seem to be the case. Now you have to have the fonts on your system to view them. Anyone know a way in '08 to change this. Or should I just create those portions as images then add them to the page?
Thanks to all who respond.

HI phantom27,
While in iWeb, go to iWeb help and type in fonts in the search box.
In the results page, look at the bottom where it says "iWeb:Tips for making text appear consistant in all browsers. It will give you all the info you need.

IWeb - Do not load the templeates to edit

Help
My iLife09 iWeb 3.0 does not load templeates to edit.
I see templeate when I click view site.
I'm using Mac OSX 10.5.6.
I choose the templeate double-clicking. There appears to edit the templeate, everything is white.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Go to your your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and move the Domain.sites2 file to the desktop. Launch iWeb, create a new site (if you can) and see if you have any better success. If so then your original domain file is corrupt. If not then a reinstall of iWeb seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iWeb" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Next, install iWeb from the disk it came on, apply the latest updaters, reboot, launch iWeb and try again.

Hosting my iweb site on GoDaddy, but not everything works

I uploaded my site (built in iWeb) to GoDaddy. When I view my site via .mac, everything looks and works as it is supposed to. When I went to my website after hosting it on GoDaddy, everything looked good and worked except for 3 minor things. Here are the 3 troubles I had. Any help on how to fix them is appreciated.
1) One of my pages when clicked on says "page not found". It shows up though when I view it via .mac.
2) I have three posts on my blog page, but only 2 of them show when clicked. The other one tells me "page can't be found"
3) The search field I have on my blog page does not show up. It does who up when I view my website via .mac.

I fixed the "page not found" problem. I ended up just making a new page from scratch.
Now my only unsolved issue is the search field doesn't show up. Maybe it is only available on .Mac?!
I also noticed on my blog that the comments doesn't show either. I did set it up to allow comments. When viewed via .Mac, the comments area is there. When I view my site after publishing to GoDaddy, it doesn't show that comments are allowed. I only noticed this because a friend who visited my site told me to put a comments section on my blog and I said that I did have one. It ain't showing up, though. Anyone know if there is a fix for this?

I made a free website using iweb and my host is dropbox but it is not showing in every search engine,i have to use a proxy for my site to pop up

i made a free website using iweb and my host is dropbox but it is not showing in every search engine,i have to use a proxy for my site to pop up

Possibly because dropbox is not really a proper webhost - it might be better if you went and signed up for proper web hosting from somewhere like http://www.godaddy.com or http://www.hostexcellence.com.
Have you told Google that you site exists? If not, then you need to do so - http://www.google.com/addurl.

Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get - 404: Page not found This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-is the problem with iweb or with hosting? T

I am sorry if thie is republished-My first time doing this and I am not sure what goes where and where to hear feedback.
Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get -
404: Page not found
This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-
Troubleshooting suggestions:
Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.
Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists
is the problem with
iweb or with hosting?
One Apple tech started to fix Iweb and had to end session and the next said problem with hosting at Network Solutions as it published
to local folder. NWS has checked sttting a few times-
Any help would be extremely appreciated as trying to fix this for about five weeks

It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

Applet does not load in IE when hosted in form via SHDocVw.dll

Hi
I have a signed applet that usually works well in IE and Mozilla FireFox.
It shows a popup window with the security question Yes/No/Always and works great thereafter.
However
We have now developed a Vb.Net application which hosts the SHDocVw.dll and now when for example I navigate to the web page within this embedded browser control from Microsoft the applet does not load and the popup window does not appear, when trying to access it via clientside scriptring it does not find the applet object.
// this fails when called from embedded browser control
<script>
document.applets[0].prepareControl();
</script>
Please help me I would really like to get the applet to work when using this new vb.net application with the embedded browser control because it is becoming our company's standard to hos apps in this new app and not open a new instance of IE for each application.
Thanks
Ian Coetzer

What does the trace say?
To turn the full trace on (windows) you can start the java console, to be found here:
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4...\bin\jpicpl32.exe
In the advanced tab you can fill in something for runtime parameters fill in this:
-Djavaplugin.trace=true -Djavaplugin.trace.option=basic|net|security|ext|liveconnect
if you cannot start the java console check here:
C:\Documents and Settings\userName\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
I think for linux this is somewhere in youruserdir/java (hidden directory)
add or change the following line:
javaplugin.jre.params=-Djavaplugin.trace\=true -Djavaplugin.trace.option\=basic|net|security|ext|liveconnect
for 1.5:
deployment.javapi.jre.1.5.0.args=-Djavaplugin.trace\=true -Djavaplugin.trace.option\=basic|net|security|ext|liveconnect
The trace is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\your user\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\log\plugin...log
I think for linux this is somewhere in youruserdir/java (hidden directory)
Print out the full trace of the exception:
try{...}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
If no trace is created my guess is that the jre is never started, try the <object tag
instead for your applet (html page) because your browser tries to run the applet with msjvm.

Iweb not loading properly to server?

Hi I have used Dreamweaver in the past but decided to try iweb this time. I built a site www.southernlakestravel in iweb and have both published it to a local folder for safe-keeping and also to my webserver (2day.com) . I have also tried to ftp the site in dreamweaver. My problem is that all the fites load onto the server (whether published directly from iweb or via dreamweaver ftp) BUT I can almost never get the navigation bar to show up - just appears as a little dot on the top left side. I also note a lot of the images are not loading properly. If I resize them in photoshop to fit then it seems to be more secure. When I look at my files serverside and remoteside I have the folder name, the index file then the subfolder name with all the page files and a second index file and the script files. I notice that the script files include a js navigation menu. Is there a problem with the heirarchy of these files and whether the main index page can "pull these". Should the server be looking to document or root folder. I am at my wits end to know what to do. I can click on links between pages (click on activities in the above page and then go to some of the links shown), but basically the pages load without the iweb style navigation menu showing up at all and with many of the photos only half showing. Also, why does it become southernlakestravel/southernlakestravel?
I am about to give up on iweb.
Meg.

You have the double domain name because the second one is your site name - you gave your site this name in iWeb and you can change it to something shorter and more suitable and then this won't happen.
As you have seen, it is the way that iWeb works - when you publish to a local folder, iWeb produces a site folder with a separate index.html file - there is another index.html file inside the site folder itself so what you need to do is upload the site folder to the root folder and then you upload hte separate index file that will sit outside the site folder and point in towards it.
The iWeb page template navigation menu is javascript based and sometimes if there is a black dot, this means that all the files are not being uploaded to the server correctly.
It would suggest that you publish your site to a local folder and then view your site by opening the html pages and seeing if there is a problem there before you upload your site.
i would then suggest that you then use something other than Dreamweaver to upload your site - download Cyberduck for free - this is a dedicated ftp programme and may be better than Dreamweaver for uploading. With Cyberduck, you can see exactly where everything is being uploaded to.
In the end, if you really want to eliminate your site name, then you can - you just need to upload the contents and the contents only of your site folder. This means that you will not need the extra index file - simply select all the contents of your site folder and upload these with the index file that is in there already. If you do this your url will just be http://www.domain.com/page name.html without the site name at all.

IWeb page does not load photos when published on Firefox?

Hello,
I just started using iWeb, and created a webpage to share photos with my friends and family. Today when I updated (published) some new photos there is a problem with the website displaying on Firefox (the photos do not load and the links are not active).
Seems to work fine on Safari, but I think Firefox is the most common browser these days...
Anyone else experienced this problem?
thanks
Greg

Greg:
The FF3 problem was corrected with the advent of the 2.0.4 iWeb update. If you haven't updated to that version so do and then do a Publish All to MobileMe. If you are running 2.0.4 do a Publish All to MobileMe and try Firefox again. Be sure to clear the cache also.
