Iweb not publishing to correct domain

I am totally new to iweb and have just finished designing my website. I own both web hosting and a domain name with justhost.com
I have set up ftp and when i try to publish my site, it does it to the wrong domain name.
e.g. my domain is myweb.com
the website name in iweb is myweb
when the site is published it is published to myweb.com/myweb
therefore it doesnt work properly and I have spent hours trying to figure it out, but no luck!
Hope someone can help

This is absolutely normal for iWeb and it is iWeb site structure - every iWeb site has to be given a name in iWeb itself, so when you publish your site, it will be published in a folder with your site name and then a separate index file - totally normal.
Your url will then be http://www.domain.com/sitename/pagename.
You named your site in iWeb and you can alter this to something short like Site etc.
Alternatively, do what Roddy has suggested and publish your site to a local folder from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload directly to your server. However, just upload the contents of your site folder only and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/pagename.

  • IWeb not publishing site updates

    Starting today - 5/18/09, A site I have in iWeb is no longer publishing updates. The site publishes to my mobile me account, and is redirected to my domain. This is the page in question - http://www.pitassidesigns.com/Portfolio/Web_Design.html
    Besides the code iWeb puts out I have added the favicon code, and Google Analytics Code. For some reason when I made some changes to some images, they do not appear as they should. The first image should be swapped with the second, and now the second image is gone. The google code, and favicon code it still there, and I usually have to re-input it after updates. Also the page in iWeb remains red, as if it was not published. I tried to delete that page and file folder from my idisk, and iweb doesn't publish a new one as it should. I tried restarting and nothing. I tried publishing the whole site, and it remains the same.
    Any help would be great, I don't feel like manually writing this page out in Dreamweaver, iWeb is so much easier.

    Ignore this. As usual when I decide to post this it works on the 10th try. Not sure what happen there.

  • IWeb not publishing movies

    Hey there. I'm new to these forums, so go easy on me. I searched the forums for this topic and didn't find anything related to my problem. Recently, I started using iWeb to build a site, and I had a huge problem, and that problem is that iWeb only publishes some of my movies. Now, the format I've been using is the Apple TV settings in Final Cut Express. I realize that iWeb likes small files for uploading. But, with the formats and files sizes being about the same (150-200 megs) why is this happening? Initially, what I did was delete the movies page, create a new one, and sometimes this would work, but not all the time. That, I think is what is most frustrating - The fact that there is this randomness in troubleshooting. I've brought up the overlay and examined my assets in relation to each other, but I can't see any conflict there. I really don't want to export from Final Cut or Quicktime in a web format, as there is a such a huge loss in quality, obviously. Does anyone know of a workaround to keep these movies in a higher quality and have them be compatible with iWeb. By the way, my iDisk is empty, so that's not the issue either. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Welcome to the discussions. You could try importing your movies into iMovie and then publishing to MobileMe Gallery:
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/#mobileme
    Then you can pseudo embed your Gallery movie into your iWeb site — here's a video tutorial briefly showing that about half-way through:
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/iweb08.html#tutorial=livecontent
    ...Visitors will have a full-screen option to view your movies and an advantage for you is that the movies are no longer in iWeb's Domain file — so site re-publishing times are shorter. There's more about MobileMe Gallery here:

  • 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 not publishing - and never has

    I tried to use iWEB to publish, after asing for my password (and validating) it just goes into dialog ... "loging into .Mac" ... stays there forever and refuses to go on. I was able to log-in to my iDisk and manually create a folder called WEB (none existed before), I then put a folder in it called Sites and then drug a test page to the sites forlder in another folder called test.
    I can use: web.mac.com/theimage1/test/
    and it works fine I see the page.
    When I then try to get iWEB to publish, it just goes to the log into dialog again and nothing happens. It brings up my .Mac log-in page and I do put in my password and it indictes the password is VALID. I have even have tried with my iDisk mounted locally ... iWEB just fails to publish in the publish step.

    Such as what type of Internet connection are you using (DSL, Cable, Analog Modem)? Is the connection wired (Ethernet cable) or wireless (AirPort)? In what general geographic location on the globe are you located? Does you ISP (Internet Service Provider) require you to set certain attributes such as MTU (Maximum Transmission Units) to a specific value?
    Ok, I am on a cable modem from Roadrunner. It goes to a dLink router with nothing being blocked. The G5 is wired to the network (no airport), the address is manually set not DHCP (and it works on everything else thus far and has for over a year). Safari, Firefox, Fetch ftp, Guru ftp, checking & banking accounts, stock accounts, etc. I am in the Charlotte NC area.
    I run my own WEB site external to .Mac and the ftp software and GoLive work fine through the system. The sytems preferneces>.Mac work fine in connecting to my iDisk. Name and password are "valid" according to the Dialog box. I don't use iSync so can't check that. But, log-in and iDisk both work.
    I have let the "logging-in to .Mac" dialog run overnight with no result ... I think that's long enough! If I just mouse click on the Log-in dialog box it disappears, not even hit the cancel button.
    I don't think it's a network problem. Unless iWEB uses something totally outside the ordinary. All other communications even multi-person iChat Video works well.

  • Typekit not publishing font correctly - Regular is showing up as Italic in published page

    Typekit font (Source Sans Pro) is not rendering correctly when publishing site from Muse. I know not to expect it to preview correctly (sigh) but it is not publishing. Ex: Source Sans Pro Light 16 point is publishing/displaying in web page as ITALIC, not regular. HELP!
    This issue is cross-platform, PC and Mac.
    Looks great in Design, Preview all messed up, but PUBLISH shows font as displayed in Preview, NOT as displayed in Design.
    HOT TOPIC please!
    Thanks

  • IWEB not publishing correctly on pcs...photos and location of things

  • IWeb not publishing update- just asking to log into facebook and freezing... Help, please!

    When I "Publish site changes" on iweb, a facebook login pops up, and regardless of whether I sign in or not, nothing happens and iWeb freezes.  the updates never publish, and I don't have the option to try it again. If I quit (sometimes have to force quit) iweb, it says "quitting while your site is publishing can cause problems", but I have left it open for hours, and nothing ever happens. 
    Please help!

    Heidi,
    Go ahead and force-quite iWeb, it shouldn't hurt the website file. However, just to be safe, open ~User/Library/Application Support/iWeb, and copy (not move) the Domain.sites2 file in there to your home folder before force-quitting.
    For some reason, the "Update my Facebook" feature in iWeb causes it to freeze. To fix this, simply untic the Facebook box in the website publishing settings page. Then it will publish correctly.

  • TS2167 iweb not publishing

    Please can someone help with some useful advice.  I have just created a website for my new company, published to FTP server (not mobileme) and the first page is uploaded no problem (www.peakskiholidays.com) but if you click the link on any of the other pages these do not load and state and error.  I am pulling my hair out now and I know some will come back to me saying what do you expect from iweb but I wanted to be in control of my own website and found it so easy to use.  I haven't gone made with pages and links etc in the website and I have used this before with my previous website (www.peaktherapies.co.uk) and had no issues at all.
    If any one can suggest why this doesn't work and how I can get the whole thing uploaded it would be much appreciated.
    many thanks

    ok I know I am going to come across really dumb here but....
    Ok, thanks for the help.  However, the file you indicate is missing - what is this where should it go and what do I do with it.
    I have no idea why the domain name is also my site name these were the details given by my host people, although they did say they would sort it out to look better in the browser etc.
    Not sure what you mean about making something an image if it's a text?  I have chosen the text 'cracked' so assuming everywhere I have used this (alot) I should split the words individually?
    I have gone through all the links at the bottom of my page and they all go to where I want them to go within the website design on iweb, I've tested all ?
    Sorry if I am being a little dumb here but the program was easy to use without further IT knowledge, i really appreciate your feedback as I am very keen to get my site live asap but please could you expand on your feedback so I can put these wrongs right.
    many thanks

  • Using iWeb to publish to existing domain

    I have a domain which is being hosted by an individual. I want to take over the management of it, so I am redesigning it using iWeb. I don't want to publish it to my .mac; I want it to be published at my current domain. (I hope I am articulating this correctly, since I am still pretty green with a lot of the lingo.)
    I tried doing this using Transmit. I'm having problems. Does anyone know how to do what I am attempting to do? Thanks so much to anyone who can educate me.

    Well first off you need to publish your site to a folder from iweb. Go to file and publish to a folder. This will give you an index.html and folder. Upload both of these to your webspace via transmit. In transmit there are two windows left is your stuff and right is their stuff. Locate you index and folder in the your stuff window. Once you sign in to your host space and connect, simply drag the index.html and the folder over to their space. Depending on how big the site is it may take a minute. And when it stops and goes back to idle your done. I just started using transmit, but I have 3 sites up with no problems. Post back if you need further help. Good luck

  • IWeb not publishing to MobileMe

    Hi there
    Every time I go to publish my website to MobileMe in iWeb it tells me to sign in.
    I've done some research on this and the only thing I can find is messing around with the keychain.
    This is what I've done
    Apple Menu > MobileMe and clicked on sign out and close the window
    Go to the Finder and go to > Utilities > Keychain Access
    Delete the MobileMe keychain and close the window
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer:
    Your User > Library > Caches > com.apple.iWeb
    Your User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWeb
    Your User > Library > Preferences > ByHost > com.apple.iWeb
    Once the computer is restarted Go to Apple Menu > MobileMe and sign back in to your account.
    All this lets me do is get to the stage asking if I have the correct permissions to publish what I'm about to publish, then I get that pop up again saying sign into mobile me or sign up for a free trial.
    This is driving me mad, how can something thats advertised to work faultlessly together be so incompatible. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    asking if I have the correct permissions to publish what I'm about to publish
    This is referring to the copyright of any media you might be using in the site. It only happens the first time you publish (unless you don't check the checkbox to not do so or you delete the iWeb preference file).
    Did you try logging out of MMe in the System Preferences, then log in with a bogus username and password and then again with the correct username and password? Give it a try if you haven't.

  • IWEB not uploading URL correctly

    For several days I have been struggling with IWEB to get it to load to my url through ftp. Here is the thing....IWEB makes you do a "site name" and when you do that it becomes the landing URL for example I want people to type in www.photocandy.biz and get to my site. Well I have index for example as my site name and so as a result the url is www.photocandy.biz/index this is what it is defaulting to. I am so frustrated I dont know what to do please help.
    Thank you

    What iWeb does is not incorrect - it is the way that iWeb does it and has done it from iWeb 06. It is the site structure that is used like it or not. When published, iWeb creates your Site folder that will be the same name that you gave your site in iWeb and also a separate index.html file and both of these need to be uploaded to your server, so hence your url will be http://www.domain.com/sitename/pagename.
    If you want anything different, then you will probably need to download Cyberduck free from the internet. This is a dedicated ftp client. From iWeb use the publish to a folder option and then connect to your host using Cyberduck and rather than uploading the whole site folder and index file, just upload the contents of your site folder. Your url will then be http://www.domain.com/pagename. Note that RSS feeds will not work if you do this as you have broken the site structure.
    In iWeb 09, I think it might be possible to do the same with the built in ftp by naming your site either 'public_html", "www", or "htdocs" or whatever your host has for you to upload to. You then leave the directory/path field empty and then upload and you should get just the contents of the folder rather than the hole folder itself.
    I have never tried this so don't know whether it works. Although I use 09, I still publish to a folder and upload with Cyberduck.

  • Can not publish to a domain other than .Mac

    I've tried to use about 3 different FTP programs (Classic, Cyberduck, Fugu) and I can't get may website to publish. I was working in old Dreamweaver 4 on PC for my church's regional website, and re-did it in iWeb, but nothing. I also have my own "domain" at my university alumni and it won't publish/open/appear there. Am I saving it incorrectly in the first place? Am I supposed to upload the main folder, or open the folder and upload the html files and sub-folders?
    Here's the message I get when I try to view my site:
    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access / on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Thank you!

    I made a redirect page in PowerPoint. I tried to test it on my own account (alumni) and the anwc.net one. On both my own alumni account (www.sfu.ca/~tellier) and rdpres.anwc.net, I'm getting similar same messages after having jigged around in UNIX and changed permissions:
    "The requested URL /~tellier/index_files/slide0003.htm was not found on this server." (SFU)
    "The requested URL /index_files/slide0003.htm was not found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request." (ANWC.NET)
    I thought maybe I could do that "apply for a domain name" but our rdpres.anwc.net doesn't have a www in front of it and that's the only thing .Mac will accept.
    Yeesh!

  • IWeb not publishing PayPal button widget

    As per Burns Media (see below). I have taken the proper steps to insert a PayPal button. However the button does not show up on the published site. I've done this in the past and it did work but not now. I have the latest update to iWeb and running OSX 6.4.2 Is there a problem with these updates or am I just missing something?
    Thanks for your help!
    Jerry
    Burns Media Posted this: You can certainly use PayPal on your iWeb site, and it's fairly easy. You would indeed use the HTML Widget - first, log in to your PayPal account (or create one if you don't have one) and follow the steps to create a new button (Buy Now, Pay Now, Gift Certificate, etc.) When you've finished making the button, the last step gives you some HTML code to copy and paste into the HTML Widget. Copy the code from the PayPal site, in iWeb drag the HTML Snippet to your page and in the box that pops up paste the code. Hit Apply and you're done! When you publish the site, visitors can click your "Buy Now" box and be taken to PayPal to buy.

    I think this is very similar to the instructions you posted, but here is a visual demonstration showing how to add PayPal to an iWeb site

    Perhaps you need to check again with your host that the settings are in fact correct and then check that you have entered these settings in the correct place in iWeb itself.

Maybe you are looking for
