Iweb won't publish my new website

Hai there,
I recently made a totally new website but when I visit the link the old one appears. I first published the site to my public folder and then to my ftp, no problems so far. Even when I visit the link from public folder the new site appears. But on the web the old one won't refresh. I even deleted the old one from Iweb.
What could be the problem is that I once published my site with Easy Iweb publisher, but even now that I deleted the account it still won't work.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Kind regards,
Hoekstra

Deleting your old website from iWeb is not going to make any difference at all - this only deletes it from iWeb itself - if the site is published then you need to delete the old site from your server where it is published.
To do this you need to download Cyberduck - this is a dedicated ftp programme and will show you everything - all html files and folders that are on your server. Use this and you can delete the old website off your server so that the new one will show.

  • IWeb won't publish changes to website without adding "/SiteName"

    I'm trying to publish changes to my website with a URL that is an established domain name.
    When I click "Publish Site", iWeb adds "/SiteName" to the URL and the changes are
    published to "URL/SiteName". But when I search for my site on Google (it pops up
    readily as the website has been accessed many many times), the OLD, UNCHANGED
    website with the old URL comes up. To get the revised website, users would have
    to specifically use the CHANGED URL, "URL/SiteName."
    Every time I try to remove "Site Name" from the blank for Site name, iWeb puts
    "SiteName" back in. How do I keep the Site name slot blank so that iWeb will
    publish my changes to the old familiar URL that can be found on Google?
    As a Server engineer commented to me, "There has been a folder called [SiteName] uploaded
    recently to the root [URL] of your account. This make me suspect that iWeb is set to publish in the
    wrong directory. Make sure it is publishing to the public_html directory."
    I put "public_html" into Directory/Path. Still no changes to my website at URL; changes have
    been published only to "URL/SiteName".
    Any help available?

    That is the way that iWeb works and it is normal practice to get the url with the Sitename in it.  As you have found, if you try to leave the sitename blank, iWeb will put it back in.
    The server engineer that you spoke to is correct that your site folder has been uploaded to your 'public_html" folder on your server.
    If you want your url without the sitename included, then you need to upload the contents only from your site folder and NOT the whole folder itself and then your url will be http://www.domain.com without the http://www.domain.com/sitename/page name.html.
    You can achieve this by publishing your site to a local folder from iWeb and then you need to download an ftp programme such as Cyberduck or Yummy ftp.  You then use either of these 2 to upload only the contents of your site folder to your 'public_html' folder on your server and if you just upload the contents and NOT the whole folder itself, then your url will be http://www.domain.com.
    Sometimes putting 'public_html' into the Directory/Path will not work and you'll need to strart from scratch, so you'll need an ftp programme so that you can link up to your server and you can see exactly what is in your public_html folder on your server and delete the site folder and start again, by then uploading just the contents of your site folder rather than the whole folder itself.
    Ultimately, what you need to do is upload the contents and the contents only of your site folder and NOT the whole folder itself to get your url back to http://www.domain.com without the sitename.

  • Downloaded Lion and Now iWeb Won't Publish New Page or Changes?

    Hello,
    I am having the hardest time getting iWeb now publish info. After updating to Lion iWeb will not publish anything new I do on iWeb. It will act like it is publishing everything but nothing shows up on the net. What do I need to do to fix this?

    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.
    The following will assist you in using iWeb with Lion partidularly if you have more than one domain file:
    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.
    To open your domain file in Lion 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.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, 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.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Safari won't load my new website, keeps defaulting to old website

    I'm stumped.  I am moving my iWeb website to another website builder.  I've published my new website to the host but when I type in the correct url on this computer, it defaults to the old website, over and over.  I've cleared history, cache, cookies, etc.  Everything I can think of my nothing makes any difference.  But, on 2 out of 3 of my other Mac's, I can see the new published website just fine.  Can't see the new website on this Mac, my iPhone, or iPad. 
    My new website address is abc.com, and my old website from iWeb is abc.com/abc.com/home.html.  For some reason iWeb added the second abc.com/home.html.  I have no understanding of why.  When i type in my new address www.abc.com it opens the old website, but when I hover over the address it doesn't say abc.com, it says abc.com/abc.com/home.html.   Can't get rid of the second abc.com/home.html
    Hope this isn't too confusing, and appreciate any help.
    thanks,
    donald

    Linc,
    Thanks for your response.  I was on the phone with apple to day for 3 hours.  We did many things and finally got the problem solved.  Not sure which one fixed my problem, buy somehow Parallels was taking over some part of OS X and stopping me from seeing the correct URL.  I got rid of Parallels for now and all my problems went away.  I'll try to download it again as I need it for only one program I use.  Once again thank you for your time and knowledge.  It's appreciated.

  • IWeb won't publish my website

    Hi, very frustrated. Have spent two days designing my iWeb website, then when I finally click the 'Publish' icon, I get "Preparing to Publish..."
    Then...
    "An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/Site”."
    GREAT. But iWeb won't tell me WHAT the error is, or what I need to do to try and FIX the problem! And I thought Apple and the iWeb software were supposedly so intuitive, easy and hassle-free...
    Any ideas appreciated. Many, many thanks.

    Thanks for the quick response. I've read Heaton's
    suggestions and tried publishing to a folder. Worked
    fine. Does this mean the fault lies with .Mac, or
    me/my Mac?
    Adrian...
    This is good news. The fact that you can publish to a folder means that iWeb is not encountering any troubles with your website... The error message that it is generating just lets you know where iWeb is encountering it's "internal error"...not indicating that there is a problem with that particular page, etc.
    What you have to understand is that iWeb is a pretty "dumb" program. I mean, it's great...it lets you design pretty fantastic pages and all, but when it uploads to .Mac it is sort of at the mercy of the traffic on the Internet as a whole. And there is probably some programming in iWeb that says, okay, after you send a file to .Mac, this is how long you should wait for the confirmation. If network conditions are slower or fluctuating, that confirmation may not get to iWeb in a timely manner and iWeb reports out this error message....which is basically a timeout message. iWeb has to draw the line somewhere, I guess.
    The best advice that I can give to you then is to keep trying....different times of the day, different internet connections, wired connections instead of wireless connections, etc.

  • IWeb won't publish site fully.

    Hi. I'm having trouble publishing my latest site update with iWeb 1.1.2.
    I just did a major update to a photo blog I've been publishing successfully for two years. However, after three days of trying, I suddenly cannot get iWeb (or mobileme?) to publish my site. It will compile the update and save my data, but not publish the entire update -- the progress circle gets hung up for 3-4 hours, before I finally force quit and restart my computer, only to try again and get the same results.
    I am trying to update with the usual amount of data I typically do, and thus know from experience that I should be fully published in under 40 minutes. I've plenty of iDisk space, and about a fourth of my update does get published before things get hung up. Any ideas?
    (For what it's worth, I see the spinning color wheel a LOT these days when using iWeb, and have had lots of finder issues when trying to publish this latest update -- font problems, apps getting hung, etc.)
    Thanks!

    Because I uploaded a "save to folder" version of my site, I've lost the "comments" feature and the advanced slide show features.
    Using that approach, perhaps Apple assumes that your site was not made using iWeb and thus iWeb-specific features are unavailable, i.e. Password protection, Blog and photo comments, Blog search, Hit counter and Enhanced slideshows.
    How do I get those back?
    Perhaps it's not possible if you're publishing via a folder. But to be sure, ask Apple via the email page posted previously.
    FWIW, I only transferred the site folder, not the index.html file that was generated with it. Was that unwise?
    That "+How to publish a custom website+" doc says: "...upload the HTML files (and any files that go with them) to a subfolder in the Sites folder (in the Web folder) on your iDisk." ...It doesn't mention omitting the index.html file.
    On a general note, I suggest you consider more efficient and robust alternatives to iWeb's blog. Since iWeb stores blog entries on your Mac, you inevitably face long and potentially problematic publishing. And there will always be the possibility that you'll have to do a long and slow Publish All. Whether it's because you upgrade to a new version of iWeb or OS X or MobileMe, etc., the possibility exists.
    But if you hyperlink from your iWeb site to a web-based blog, you'll avoid this — as your blog entries won't be stored on your Mac. For example, the free Posterous is as simple as blogging gets — you can post a blog entry (including images) via email or from a web browser:

    You can probably get around it by publishing your site to a local folder...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
    ... and then uploading with an FTP application...

    This is not so easy as publishing with the iWeb FTP.

  • IWeb won't publish to .mac

    For the last 2 days, every time I try to publish iWeb to .mac, a box comes up asking for my password. I enter it, but nothing happens.
    I think I may have an iDisk problem or a .mac login problem.
    Someone please help. I need to republish asap!!!!!

    I have encountered the same problems - my site was fine until yesterday when I decided to change it and now it won't publish.
    Let me know if you figure out what happened
    I'm using iWeb 06 and have not upgraded to the new one. I did install some software updates that come in automatically. I wonder if that might be the problem.
    When I try to visit site - I get a download popup and my pages (name only appear on my desktop but they are blank and nothing happens when I click on the icon. Weird - weird - weird

  • Iweb won't publish for me???

    Hi all,
    I have published successfully a couple of times in the past and now for some reason, it won't publish at all. I tried starting the idisk sync option in the system pref's but it won't start and and error message comes up saying that i need to check my username and password but i'm already logged in? I read another post by Tom where he said to do a few things in the idisk pref's but it won't let me in to the idisk folder either and a message comes up saying my .mac membership is not set up but yet i just logged in before that......very confused! If anyone could advise me that would be great.
    Thanks,
    Dave.

    Hi Jeannie,
    Spoke to apple support. My site is now publishing again!!
    Please follow the instructions below as this is what i did and it worked. It has to do with resetting your .mac preferences and also your keychain.
    1) Click the Apple at the top left and select System Preferences
    2) In the new window select the .Mac (in the internet and network section)
    3) Click the "Sign Out" option
    4) In the member name and password boxes, enter random characters (Numbers and letters) and hit the sign in button, this will say the log in is invalid
    5) Now, enter your proper member name (do not [email protected], just your user name only)and then enter your password and sign in.
    6) Open iWeb and attempt to publish your site
    Let me know how you get on.
    Dave.

  • Why iweb won't publish to my mobile me?

    I'm trying to update my iWeb that used to publish to mobile me... I haven't posted for a while (months) and now it won't publish... I click on the button, but it never publishes...

  • IWeb won't publish my daughter's sites (multiple users; one computer)

    Our daughters have their own computer, so I created two user accounts (one for each). They also each have their own MobileMe account (under a family plan).
    Each has created a site in iWeb. However, I can't get iWeb to upload either site. Each time I click publish, it says "sign in to Mobile Me" and the system preferences window pops up. It seems to log in to the account, automatically. iWeb has a window open saying "Logging in" When I click to return to iWeb, that "logging in" window disappears and nothing else happens. Nothing is uploaded.
    Even if I try again, it says "log in" again. I don't understand why they aren't logged in automatically, all the time, under their username and why iWeb won't upload anything.

    Jim:

    After waiting a day for the rolling restore to happen, I called AppleCare because Apple had sent an email saying my service was back, and it wasn't. I still could send and not receive using Mail.
    *Here is what fixed it*. Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord. For me this was lights on.
    I am left wondering how long ago I could have had email had I known this preference reset scheme.

  • IWeb won't publish... HELP :)

    Hey everyone. Everytime I try to publish from iWeb to my .Mac account it will only go so far. It will error out saying "An error occurred while publishing file 'x.mov'." Where x is a different file each time, it could also be many other types of files.
    I have restarted the computer, and shut down iWeb and then brought it back up again, however it still won't publish all the way.
    Has anyone seen this yet?
    Is there a fix?
    Thank you!

    Just saw the other thred. :S It did say that a lot of other people are having this issue. I think I'll call apple support and see what they know about this issue.

  • IWeb won't Publish, just crashes.

    iWeb will not publish to .Mac. After pressing publish, the program signs into .mac and then proceeds to create the web pages. Once all the pages are created circles form next to their consecutive sites. These usually fill up like a clock showing the site being uploaded. However, ifor the past few days nothing happens once the circles appear. Then after a few minutes iWeb crashes. Also, during this time my whole computer freezes. iTunes will stop playing until the iWeb crash is complete. This has happened every time I have tried to publish over the past few days. Just last week I was able to publish without any problems.
    I think it is a problem with .mac because I am able to publish to a folder without any problems.
    I have repaired permissions over and over again...
    The only thing new I added to my mac since my last time I publish something in iWeb was the trial version of File Maker's Bento.
    Here is the error message I get from the crash.

    I did not want to upgrade to leopard, but I had to. At the law school I go to the exam software only uses windows. I waited until the last minute to instal XP and by then you had to have leopard to use boot camp. Leopard has a lot of nice ideas. You cannot really call them features yet because most of them don't work. Notes in mail is a great idea... But, once I started using it heavily, it went crazy and started erasing all my to do's, duplicating notes like crazy, or something else. I just gave up... The only really nice feature about leopard is Preview and the way it allows you to edit PDFs. I suppose screen sharing is pretty cool too and seems to work okay. However, everyone is so competitive in law school no one wants to "share."
    My wife's macbook hasn't fared to well with leopard either.

  • IWeb won't publish--am just trying to post a photo page

    I've been publishing my website for years now and all of a sudden I'm getting a 'An Unknown Error Has Occurred' when it's trying to publish the new page of photos I just added.  I've encountered lots of errors over time and know what most of them mean, but this one doesn't seem to be any kind of server or system issue--it seems there's a problem with the page of photos I'm trying to add.  I have rebuilt that page a few times now (in the same way I've always done it) and nothing seems to be working.  Can it be a problem with one of the photos I've added?  What could be causing this?  The other pages of my website (including photo pages) seem like they aren't the problem--the issues always arises when it comes to the new page I've added.  I've been at this for 2 days now. Any ideas? Thanks much!

    Not sure--I believe MobileMe.  I've got a GoDaddy domain address that automatically forwards to my .mac account. 

  • IWeb won't Publish Site

    Hi,
    Everything works fine until I add a flash music video or any video to the page then it won't Publish. But if I remove the videos from the page it will Publish. (this is not an embed code but instead a link set up from the hyperlink menu when I click on the "inspector" dialog box.
    Or should I instead use the embed code from my upload site?
    Has this something to do with memory? I followed the advice that was posted on another "help" column to change the memory setting in the MobileMe page for iDisk, but that didn't work either.
