IWeb Ftp Publishing issues

Hi all hope someone out there has an answer for my dilema. Have a site xxxx.ca and i have created a site on Iweb for this and called it xxxx.ca
Now here comes my problem I use the FTP in Iweb with these settings
Site Name: xxxx.ca
my email
Server Address76.74.128.xxx
user name:------
PaSSOWORD:------
Dir/Path: /public_html
Ftp   port 21
Url:  http://-------
after it uploads to server files doo upload but they create another directory. so instead of going to www.xxxx.ca  it comes up www.xxxx.ca/xxxx.ca  
Why the extra directory????

In order to avoid the dubble site name you must publish your website to a Local folder then upload just the contents of the site folder to your web host

  • IWeb FTP Publish Site Changes

    Whenever I publish JUST the small changes to my site, and then attempt to view the website, my site just hangs and will NEVER load. I have to go back and publish the ENTIRE site. This significantly increases my bandwidth consumption on my hosting service. I'm not overly concerned about that, but it does take a VERY long time to actually publish my site
    Has anyone else had this issue and perhaps found a fix???
    thanks!!!

    I guess you might change the method you are using to publish your site. Either try using an ftp program like CyberDuck with synchronization or change to the integrated ftp function inside iWeb 09.
    What kind of host - Linux or Windows are you trying to publish to?

  • FTP Publishing Issues w/ GoDaddy

    I've recreated my website using iWeb. I completed all of the appropriate information on the 1st page to publish to my FTP site. However, once I publish my site doesn't go to the right place. It creates a whole new site.
    For example, it should publish to www.rsvpeventsmd.com but instead it publishes to rsvpevents.com/www.rsvpevents.com. Meanwhile, my original site hasn't changed.
    Godaddy can't figure out the issue.
    Please help!

  • MobileMe iWeb '09 Publishing Issue

    I am trying to publish a website using MobileMe. I have all of my files in iDisk/Web/Sites folder. I have already set the CNAME of my site to web.me.com and set my personal domain on my MobileMe account to my domain (sevanskateboarding.com). I haven't been able to view my site online. How might I be able to view my site online. I have tried typing in my URL and clicking the link in the iWeb section of iDisk on me.com. I cannot access my site.
    I have been able to publish and view my site to Dropbox/dot.tk hosting so it is most likely not an iWeb issue.
    Thanks in advance!

    Do as I suggested in your other topic and enter the  MobileMe URL in the browser to make sure the site is published correctly before you try to troubleshoot the domain name forward.

  • IWeb FTP publish problem

    I am trying to use the functionality of the internal FTP to upload my site, but when I enter all the information that has been given to me from my web host, it keeps telling me that there is a problem with my root/destination. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Eric

    since day 1 I have not been able to publish via built-in FTP to 2 servers --> always error messages coming up, yet the test file gets deposited there.
    No issues with Cyberduck! Configuration is the same. Go figure!

  • Publishing issues using iWeb 3.0.4 (601) on-board FTP loader with 1&1

    I've searched and found nothing that looks like this particular problem (could be I didn't use the right keywords, but please no replies telling me to try a search.)
    I have 2 websites that I manage on a 1&1 hosting account.
    Several days ago, both were publishing properly, and navigating properly from the base domain (stjohnslex.com & forkyle.us). Currently, I'm not sure what's going on.
    Somehow, either by my error or a server malfunction the sites began acting strangely. The stjohnslex.com site gave a 404 and the forkyle.us site started directing back to the stjohnslex.com webpage using the forkyle URL. I spent hours on the phone with tech support and as much as I feel like they tried to help me, they couldn't get that iWeb has its own FTP loader.
    So here's what happens when I click publish: The forkyle site tends to publish quickly. The stjohnslex site gets to the stage where the little gray publishing pie shows up beside the name but never notes any progress.
    When I go to the 1&1 Webspace explorer, all the files appear to be there. Finally in a fit of frustration, I deleted EVERYTHING in my online account and republished the forkyle site, and it appears to be working as intended. The church website still doesn't want to load. I've checked and re-checked my FTP settings, the account name and password, the URL that it's supposed to publish as, the port is set to 21, and the Test Connection tells me everything's good to go. I just can't for the life of me figure out what's going wrong with it.
    Any ideas?

    The iWeb FTP uploads the folder containing all the website files and an index.html file.
    If you upload two websites to the same root folder, one of the index.html files will over write the other.
    When you enter the URL...
    http://www.domain.com/
    .. you are directed to the index.html file which opens the Home or first page of the site whose index.html file resides in the root folder.
    I'm only guessing here as I don't know your hosting setup.
    Perhaps you need to upgrade your hosting account to accomodate more than on site so that each has its own root folder.
    Even the most backward hosting usually offers an extra folder - public_html and WWW - or something like that.

  • My iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.

    my iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them. 
    What's the answer?
    Thanks 

    Many thanks to  responded to my question and sorry not to get back sooner.
    Yes, I discovered by this unfortunate experience that the names of photos are a serious issue if the site is to ever go to an FTP server.  Apple should discuss this carefully in their "manual".
    One more question:  I uploaded the website to a folder on my desktop. When I open it, unlike the photos in iWeb, there are folders for each page which have all the photos in them. I went through each folder and changed the names to be FTP compatible. I'm using iWeb SEO Tool which allows one to upload from this local folder to an FTP server but having trouble.
    Is this because there is an imbedment in iWeb that uses the old photo names to link to the actual photos and it can't find them because of the name changes?
    Thanks again for your help ...

  • FTP publishing on iWeb to replace existing site - files not appearing.

    On iWeb, I used FTP publishing to replace my existing site files, then deleted the original files but not only has the new site files not appeared in my public html folder but I get the message:The requested URL /www.geofflevitus.com was not found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Founderror was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    but I get the message:The requested URL /www.geofflevitus.com was not found on this server.
    That's an indication that the index.html file that is created alongside the site folder by iWeb is missing. 
    Try publishing your site to a folder on your hard driive and use a 3rd part ftp client like the free  Cyberduck to upload the site folder and the index.html file.
    Cyberduck or Transmit will let you view your server folder in a Finder like window where you can see which files are missing.

  • IWeb not publishing website via FTP after adding music

    Hi all,
    When I drag a piece of music on my iWeb website and try to publish via FTP, I get the "there was an error communicating with FTP server" message. Any ideas? Yes this is my own copyrighted music, not other people's music.

    Try publishing to a local folder and launch the site in your browser by double clicking the index.html file.
    This will tell you if the problem is in iWeb or publishing. See...

  • IWeb says 'offline' when trying ftp publishing

    I have tried to Publish individual sites using ftp in iWeb but each time I click on Test Connection I get an error message "You are offline. Please check your internet connection and try again" . Of course I am not offline since Safari, Mail , and Transmit (ftp app) all work. I have set up in iWeb all the same information required in Transmit which is working. Does anyone know why I am getting this error message?

    Unfortunately, the built in iWeb ftp is notorious for not being that reliable.
    This is why lots of people who use iWeb 09, myself included still prefer to publish to a folder from within iWeb and then use either Transmit or Cyberduck to upload. My preference is Cyberduck mostly. I have only used iWeb ftp once to upload and stopped as I did not like it, plus the fact I also use WebSiteMaestro before publishing to optimise my site so uploading via iWeb is not an option now.

  • FTP Publishing currently failing

    Some months back I created a website for a friend who wanted a new site for his business. His site was already with Mr. Site who supported FTP publishing, so I created his new site and transferred it to his new one, effectively replacing it. Great! Worked like a dream! By all means take a look!
    http://www.nickmarshallmake-up.com
    About two weeks ago I attempted to update the new site and the update has failed. When publishing the site, iWeb "Prepares the Files for Publishing" and always crashes on the last page (no matter what the last page is, as I rearranged them to test it out). iWeb didn't even get to the stage where it uploaded anything to the website. I looked at the website online and noticed that there are now some media crashes present (music shortened and artwork is suddenly missing and cropped) and I'm enraged that I cannot actually effect any changes.
    I can publish the site to a local folder with no problem whatsoever, but iWeb ALWAYS crashes when preparing files for publishing via the FTP protocols!
    Help please?

    This doesn't help you but I am experiencing exactly the same issue, using FTP publishing.

  • FTP publishing settings Website URL

    This may be a very obvious answer, but in the FTP publishing setting>Website URL field, what are the correct settings. For my "domainname.com", I'm putting the address in that field as "http://www.domainname.com" (no quotes) Is that the correct address to use. iWeb Help Menu says to put your website address in that field. So I assume that you include the "http://www." Is that correct?

    Alancito,
    I keep forgetting about the video tutorials. They're awesome. Yes that did answer my question. The whole FTP thing seems temperamental and buggy, but I'm sure most of it is me. In iWeb, sometimes it publishes via FTP, no problems and other times I get server error messages. Using Rage Sitemap Automator, half the time it won't connect and if I upload the sitemap via Cyberduck, using the same FTP settings, no problem. But those are all separate issues and you answered my initial question. Thanks

  • I created a website using iWeb, then published to MobileMe, how can i publish to iCloud?

    I created a website using iWeb, then published to MobileMe, Mobile Me is now closed, how can i publish to 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 do I get iWeb to publish just the files to my root directory

    Hey all, when I publish my site to my hosting server via iWeb it's just copying the entire folder into my root directory instead of copying the files to the root directory. This is causing my site url to look like this: www.mysite.com/myfolder/ how do I get iWeb to publich the files in the "myfolder" to my server instead of the entire folder?

    I needed to do this while keeping ftp publishing inside iWeb, and so I developed a sneaky solution. I just figured this out, so there may be some extra steps in here. Here goes:
    Find the iWeb application on the computer you are publishing from.
    Control-Click on the application and choose "Show Package Contents".
    In the window that appears, open the folder "Contents".
    Control-Click on the folder "Resources" and choose "Get Info".
    In the window that appears, open the "Sharing and Permissions" drop-down.
    Click the lock in the lower-right corner and enter your password.
    Where it says "Read Only" across from "Everyone", click the arrows and choose "Read and Write".
    Close the "Info" window and open the "Resources" folder.
    Find the "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" file and change the permissions (repeat steps 4-7 but with "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" instead of the "Resources" folder).
    Open the "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" file in TextEdit.
    Find the line "<string>/Web/Sites</string>".
    Change it to "<string>/Web</string>".
    Save and close the text file.
    Restart iWeb.
    Go to your publishing settings and enter the information for your server. Point the "Directory/Path" to the folder above your server's root web folder.
    Set "Site Name" to the name of your server's web folder.
    Make sure that none of the files in your server's web folder have the same name as those iWeb would upload.
    Select File>Publish Entire Site.
    It should now publish your site to "http://www.yourdomain.org/Home.html".
    Hope it works!
