Iweb keeps publishing all sites

I am using iweb 1.1.1 I have made a new site but everytime I publish..from "edit"
publish site, iweb publishes all the sites on my list. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, Dana

Dana:
First this is the iWeb 2 forum and you'll probably get users there who are more familiar with iWeb 1 responding.
However, are you publishing to MobileMe or to a folder? If you're publishing to a folder then that's normal. I've not used iWeb 1 for quite a while but don't remember it publishing all sites unless there was a change in all of them.
I believe iWebSites works with iWeb 1 and maybe you should take a look at it. I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. It may be what you're looking for.

  • To publish modify of site without publish all site?

    how i can publish modify of site without publish all site?

    Since you're not using MobileMe you have two ways to publish to your host server:
    1 - in iWeb click on the site folder to bringup the window that lets you decide where to publish the site:
    2 - the first option is to select FTP Server and put in the appropriate server address, username, password and website name.  The first time you publish you'll be publishing the entire site.  Then next time you publish use the File ➙ Publish Site Changes Only menu option. That will do what you want to accomplish.
    3 - the second option is to publish to a folder on your hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client, like the free  Cyberduck to upload the site files. Again the first upload will be the full site but subsequent uploads will be the changes only if you follow this tutorial: 02 - Uploading Only Those Newly Published or Edited Files When Using a 3rd Party FTP Client.

  • In using iWeb to publish my site with FileZilla, I have inadvertently published a subdirectory instead of the root site. Can anyone guide me?

    In the site name I put my site: combustionevent.com
    And I put in my server address in the ftp settings and correct user name & password
    In the website URL I typed in: www.mysitet.com
    But when it publishes, it's found at: http://www.mysite.com/www.mysite.com/mysite_Home.html
    I can't seem to figure out how to get it out of a subdirectory.

    Well, of course you won't be able to because producing the site folder, which is what it is is normal practice for iWeb.  Due to the site structure, iWeb will create and publish a site folder.
    To get over this you have 2 choices:
    1. Change the site name to something shorter and more applicable and upload again and keep the site folder.
    2.  Publish your site to a local folder from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to iWeb, but upload the CONTENTS ONLY of your site folder rather than the whole site folder itself.  Your url will then be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.

  • Iweb problems publish second site

    Hi everyone!
    I use IWeb to make my site with no problem. however now I'm doing another site (diferent file and domain) and can't publish the new site). I've tried to erase my the first site from "sites" but cannot publish the other site!
    it doesn't respond to the command "publish".
    any help?
    thank in advance

    I delete "Cache.db" in Library/Cache/com.apple.iWeb ; "com.apple.iWeb.plist" in Library/Preferences.
    iWeb publishing don't change.
    With Time Machine, I restaure an older version of Domain all in "blue". When I want publish one modification, all the sites turn red.
    I chat with french MobileMe support. They say it's a iWeb issue.
    I delete iWeb. I install it and upload the last version. iWeb publishing don't change.
    I re-install Mac OS Snow Leopard and upload the last version. iWeb publishing don't change.
    I use iWeb since the first version, and I like it. I have many published pages.
    No news from MobileMe. Distressing situation, isn't it ?

  • Publish all sites at once within a single domain

    Is there a way to publish all the sites at once within a single domain? So I don't have to sit at the computer and publish each site individually?

    I really wish I would have seen this new "feature" before I upgraded or I would've bypassed iLife '09 altogether. I have about sixteen sites within my iWeb setup; the way certain pages are updated I have to sit and upload each mini-site. I miss the old iWeb's capability to upload all changes at once. This, frankly, *****.

  • Any way to not publish all sites to .Mac?

    Hello,
    I have a website that I publish to my .Mac account for my own personal use. However, I have been asked by my community band if I could come up with a website for the band. This would require me however to publish the site to a folder for uploading to external hosting.
    Is there any way when I update my personal site not to have everything published to .Mac?

    Another way to ease the management and publishing of multiple sites is to use iWebSites.
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.

  • Using IWeb to publish a site in two languages

    I have used IWeb successfully to create my new website and am using mobileme as the domain provider. I want to produce this website in two languages, ideally having a 'button' to press where you can choose your language option if the site appears in a language you cannot read (ie it is published firstly in indonesian language but there are people who want to access it in english).
    Does anyone have nay experience / ideas about this?
    thanks

    See this page...
    http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebMultilingualsites.html
    The above site is available in more than one language.

  • Using iWeb to publish to two sites separately

    Here's my situation: I purchased a Family Pack .mac so I get 5 sites. I will use one for my own use, my wife will use one, and my son will use one.
    We would like to use one of the two remaining accounts primarily to put up a website for a friend of ours who is working as a missionary in Africa.
    So on my wife's computer, we want to use iWeb to build two sites, publish one in one .mac account and publish the other in another .mac account.
    So far iWeb keeps publishing them in the same account.
    Any ideas?

    The easiest thing for you to do would be to create a separate account on your wife's computer for this additional .Mac account that you wish to publish to. You can add this System account under System Preferences>Accounts. Then log into this account and add the additional .Mac information into the System Preferences there. Launch iWeb and create your page. When you publish, it will be published using the extra .Mac account.
    This way...no juggling of Domain files. No switching back and forth of .Mac account information. Just log into the separate account to edit and publish this separate website on this .Mac account. Then your wife can log back into her own account to edit her own websites. Easy.

  • Publish to .Mac/Publish All to .Mac

    Under file I have the option to "Publish to .Mac" or "Publish All to .Mac." What 's the difference?
    Thanks,
    Pasquale

    Hi Pasquale!
    How are you? I hope you are having fun with iWeb!
    "Publish All to .Mac" tells iWeb to publish each and every file of your website to your iDisk.
    "Publish to .Mac" is the default publishing action. The "Publish" button in the lower left corner does the same thing. When you first publish your site, iWeb has to publish everything from scratch. But subsequent publishing only uploads the changed files, which saves time. This only works on .mac. So, the bottomline is that you should probably use the standard "Publish to .Mac" under normal circumstances.
    Sometimes when problems crop up, one recommendation is to use the "Publish ALL to .Mac" option to lay down your site from scratch again. It's like erasing and publishing over again.

  • IWeb slow publish

    I'm curious about why iWeb publishes certain sites so slowly while others publish at a reasonable rate.
    I ran across an article in this forum about a program called iWebSites that separates the different files and allows you to work with one at a time and save them as different sites rather than as divisions of the same file, which seems like it could speed up the process and help some of my iWeb lag issues. Does anyone know whether it's still usable with all the upgrades?
    Also, I don't see any real answers to why iWeb seems to publish slowly since the Lion upgrade (honestly I don't know whether it's Lion or my interface with 1&1, my hosting site) and most of the more complete answers are from long ago. I was wondering whether there are ways to make it publish more quickly that I might not be aware of since I'm not very experienced (but am working to learn).
    Thanks for any help!

    What version of iWeb are you using?  If you're using iWeb 3 then you only publish one website at a time so iWebSites is not needed. iWeb 2  publishes all the websites in the same domain file each time any site is published. 
    The sites that load more slowly: do then have more photos, movies and/or music files on their pages? 
    Users have reported the iWebSites does work with Lion.  Also, in Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files  Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    Or you can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.

  • Publish All Missing?

    We publish a small site which is constructed as several "sites" in iWeb. After updating to iWeb '09 we can no longer find a "publish all" function. This was an extremely useful function. First, it allowed one to publish all "sites" with one click. Second it would often clear up problems on published sites.
    Is there a hot-key we can use to perform this important function?

    Thanks for the quick response.
    Unfortunately that only publishes the "site" currently selected. If you have a site which is actually designed as several "sites" (there a many reasons for wanting to do this - for example to have certain entire sections password-protected and other sections not), this doesn't work, whereas "publish all" did.
    I timed it just a few minutes ago. I used to be able to push "publish all" and walk away. This took me about 2 actual "man-seconds." Today I had to update all the sections one at a time, wait for it to complete and then update the next section. This took me just over 4 "man-minutes." So the new version of iWeb takes me 120 times as long to perform a basic function as the previous versions did.

  • How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

    I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address.  Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

    Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder.  That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
    It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
    Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
    It really isn't rocket science!

  • Can use iweb and publish sites without a mobileme account?

    I have a old imac and it died and I lost all of my websites and Im afraid that I cant republish the websites without a mobile me account… anyone know what I can do ?

    When you 'lost your websites' do you mean you lost the 'Domain' file in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder? iWeb keeps all its information there and if you do not have it you will have to recreate your site from scratch. If this is the case I would most strongly advise not using iWeb - it's not been sold or supported for some time now, and indeed v2 ('08) does not work with Mavericks: v3 may stop working on a future update. There are many other programs for making websites - Everweb is popular and is designed to be very like iWeb, with more facilities.
    If you do have the Domain file then you can publish to any website hosting service as outlined by Old Toad. There is a more detailed description of the process for the two different versions here:
    http://wilmut.uk/missing2
    However if you are going to use iWeb remember that as I said a future system upgrade may very well break it; and you would find it very difficult to update the site by editing the published pages in the absence of being able to use iWeb and the Domain file.

  • Can't publish my site; keep getting 'Disk Error'

    Hi!
    After bringing my original site into '08, I can publish the site. Then if I change anything on my blog page or add entry, I get a variety of results. Sometimes it will publish and sometimes I get the message "Disk Error". I've tried starting from my '06 file, updating it and still eventually get this same message. I have run the Disk Utility, pitched the pref file, run Tech Tool Pro and defragged and optimized the hard drive. And then, tried starting from scratch again without being able to publish. I realize that my file is probably damaged, but I want to make sure there is nothing I can do before starting all over on the website since it is large with lots of pix, movies and blogs.
    thanks!

    Thanks for the sympathy! I do have a question. The damaged file is my primary website. I had separated it from a second website after updating to iWeb 08. The second site publishes fine. I want to keep the URL for the second website exactly as it is because I have forwarding set up with a host other than dotMac. How should I go about setting up a new site?
    Thanks for all your help.

  • Can I still create new sites in iweb and publish them to mobile me?

    Can I still create new sites in iweb and publish them to mobile me? Also Can the sites not contain movies or photos, or just not a full gallery?

    You can have as many sites and domain names on a single MMe account. However, only one site can use the CNAME domain name forwarding while the others must use URL forwarding.
    Multiple Sites with Domain Name(s) in a Single MobileMe Account
    Here's how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
    A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
    1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
    Click to view full size
    2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/SiteName, or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
    B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
    Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding. This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site. This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents.
    Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site. This can be accomplished is three ways.
    1 - don't use the CNAME method. Just use URL forwarding . This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
    2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?
    In iWeb domainfile 1:
    Create a dummy site : _dummy
    with a blank page.
    Create your working site : Whatever
    Add pages
    Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
    Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
    Check.
    In iWeb domainfile 2:
    Create/Use your CurrentSite.
    Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
    iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
    Check.
    From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
    Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
    3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses CNAME forwarding. Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file.
    The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.
    Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
    NOTE: the CNAME method provides a shorter URL: http://www.DomainName.com/Site_Name/PageName. CNAME does not have masking.
    The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:
    http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/Domain_Name/PageName.
    With domain name masking that will be shortened to:
    http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
    However, visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site. If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page. Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.
