Iweb - Publish error - can't create the file "..."

Hey guys,
I've seen this issue in a couple of discussions but nothing helps. When I try to publish my site I'm getting the following error note:
"Publish error. Can't create the file "...png". The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
Same result whether I publish to an ftp or to a local folder.
My disk is far from full and the site is merely a few megas heavy.
The content is just text and a few photos.
I have OS version 10.6.8 and Iweb 3.0.4.
No passwords involved.
I've tried all the tricks in the book:
Duplicating the page that won't publish.
Re-creating the page that won't publish.
Deleting com.apple.iweb.plist from home/library/preferences
Moving my site domain to another location, creating a new site and then putting the old one back
Deleting cache from libray/caches/com.apple.iweb
I re-installed Ilife
Reboots
Banging head repeatedly again wall
Any idea what could be causing this and how to fix it?
Pleymo

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Publish Error: Can't create the file "shapeimage_2_link_0.png

SOS!!
very urgent and important..I am becoming mad! First of all good night from Italy.. I use Iweb 1.1.2..and after 2 yrs I am working on this site http://web.mac.com/cat_toons/iWeb/feline-care/Welcome.html I need to release for a donation project, when publishing at almost the end I get this pop-up window:
Publish Error: Can’t create the file “shapeimage2_link0.png.” The disk may be damaged, full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges.
Now, i cancelled and re-installed I web + all updates, but nothing happened, I am stuck! I do not know which is the file missing or giving error
Any news? what shall I do?

well, after a few tries I checked the point were it stoped uploading and I create a new page from scratch copying all images from scratch and it worked.
Idt does not work if you duplicate a page, you have to create a new one..possibly differentI.E. instead of MOVIE I chose the blog one.
It worked out

Publish Error: Can't create the file

Suddenly, when publishing my site to a folder, I'm getting this Publish Error message:
Can’t create the file “[name of file]” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges.
It's a different file that iWeb can't publish each time I try publishing. I did a search on this topic and saw this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10872574&#10872574
Tried the restarting iWeb solution, but have not yet tried restarting computer. If restarting is the only solution, that's going to be mighty inconvenient. Anyone have any other ideas or know why this is happening?
This never happened before. Always able to publish just fine.

Katherine:
Try the following:
Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - reboot.
4 - launch iWeb and see if you can not publish successfully to a folder.
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.

Publish error "Can't create the file "......." The disk may be damaged...

Here is the full message.
Can’t create the file “ACRfull logo.jpg.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges.
I had this the other day too and I was able to get around it by changing two of the pictures; however, I took all of the pictures with my own phone and some of these are logos that are small. How do I fix this error message.
I appreciate the help!

Joshua ~ Welcome to the discussions. If simply re-starting iWeb doesn't help, this may:
"Go to Finder -> HomeFolder -> Library
Move entire folder "Caches" to desktop
Restart iWeb and publish
It may work now
You can now delete "Caches" folder in desktop."
More suggestions may be found by doing THIS.

No luck with anything it just will not upload!

It looks like you have carried out a lot of the troubleshooting steps!

I have published my website previously without trouble - but I am receiving "Publish Error: CAN'T CREATE THE FILE "XYZ.PDF." THE DISK MAY BE DAMAGED, FULL, OR YOU MAY NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT ACCESS PRIVILEGES"

I am having trouble publishing my site - the error seems to be on three specific pages of 19. The pages have many photos that are all linked to other pages. I don't know where to begin with troubleshooting the problem. I have read that changing the Z-index might work - but I cannot find anything that references a z-index on the program?

What's the fix for this error: Can't create the file "feed.xml."

I try to publish my site from iWeb but I get an error which is below.
Publish Error
Can’t create the file “feed.xml.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges.
Anyone know the fix?

Whether 'feed.xml' is the first file it is trying to upload, indicating a general failure to connect, or whether it's choked at that particular point would be the question. It would be worth your getting an FTP program if you don't already have one - Cyberduck is free - and checking whether any files at all have been uploaded.
Is this the first time you've tried to publish or are you updating an existing site? If it's the first you should check carefully that your settings are correct, in particular the 'path' which varies between different hosts and may be blank or may be something like 'public.html' or 'htdocs' - this would lead to the actual webspace which may not be the root level as you access the FTP server.
You could also try publishing to a local folder - create a special folder somewhere and specify it when setting iWeb to do this, check the contents are OK, then upload the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) using Cyberduck.

Some times all it takes is deleting the .plist to fix this but do the restart and permissions repair if you haven't done this proceedure for a while.
