Podcasts on Non-.mac hosted site

Anyone have a good link to instructions on how to do this?
Thanks in advance!

One other thing to add about uploading a podcast to a site other than .Mac.
If you are using a redirect URL for your site (the kind you might get from Register.com or Godaddy.com), you have to use the host site name.
Example. I have a website that has tons of extra bandwidth. In my case it's wyethdigital.com. So my friend and I want to do a podcast, but we want a different domain name (in our case, howtogirl.com). We buy the domain as a redirect URL that points to wyethdigital.com.
When I use iWeb to publish a podcast or blog (anything with an RSS feed), I publish to a folder, and a dialogue comes up asking for the URL of the RSS host site. I have to enter wyethdigital.com because the redirect URL is basically only a frame, and there is no such site.

Non .mac host - file querey/disaster!!!

I have a non mac host for my web site which I had successfully uploaded Captain FTP (it was completely fine) but when I tried to update the site with Cyberduck it seemed to be working (ie it appeared I had a connection and files were uploading) but then didnt update properly so I started to fiddle... a bad mistake as I really dont know what I am doing.
I deleted all the files on the domain site. They were my web pages, index and a couple of others bin.cgi (?)from memory and another one. I assumed they were all to do with the old web site and then I uploaded the iweb published folder (which works well when I view it locally) and the index file. They seem to upload properly and the ftp client says its connected to my domain but I just get an error when I try to view the page with a browser
<<Not Found
<<The requested URL / was not found on this server.
<<Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) Server at www.movingmoments.com.au Port 80
I am also unable to view my control panel (manager) at the hosting site.
Usually I am prompted for a password when I type
my domain/host(name) into the browser address.
domain is
http://www.movingmoments.com.au
Thanks for any help. Its late here and the hosting company is not available for help until morning and this is urgent...
Hmm. That will teach me for fiddling.

Thanks for that. I figured that must be the case.
I have been playing around with it for a few hours in the vain hope that I would stumble across a solution but I guess I'll just have to give up and wait until the morning...Its 2:30 am so I suppose its time to get to bed.
Cheers,
Leanne
Thanks for your help pages by the way!

Links to slideshow stopped working on non .mac published site

I was helping my friend redo his website in iWeb. It was previously done in iWeb, and worked fine when published to a folder and uploaded to his verizon account.
Today, when we exported and upload none of the links on the photo gallery pages worked. Clicking a photo to enlarge it found a broken link, and the slide show stopped working too.
I thought I forgot to do something, so I uploaded the old version of the site. That stopped working, too.
Am I missing something?

The Apple slideshow (the one built-in to iWeb) using the photo template is supposedly one of the ".Mac-only" features of iWeb. It uses some resources off the .Mac servers, so it probably won't work when the pages are hosted on other non-.Mac servers.

Password protect non .mac iweb site?

I publish to a non .mac server (ie, I do not use .mac). I would like to password protect a subsite within my existing iweb site (the main site is public and the subsite is for members only) I know that the password protect feature in iweb is meant for .mac accounts but is there a way for me to work around that and password protect my subsite?

You would have to check with your host. For example, GoDaddy handles it this way:

How to password protect non .mac web site

does anyone have step-by-step directions on how to make my web page password protected on a non .mac web space?
for example, http://www.yoursite.net/~userid
My internet service provider does not support web page creation, they just provide the space.
The only thing they said was the path to my directory is /rmgrazi/public_html/ and I should create my index.html file inside the public folder. I've tried creating and uploading a .htaccess file in the public folder, and then putting a .htpasswd file in my root directory /rmgrazi/
This doesn't seem to work. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your help -- I'm not an expert by any means -- this is my first website... just wanting to put up a family website to share with friends & people I know.
OK, the url is http://www.hickorytech.net/~rmgrazi/
Right now I just have a blank page up that says "test website"
My .htaccess file is located in /rmgrazi/public_html/ (yes, I put it inside the public folder in order to password protect my whole site).
By the way I'm using TextEdit in OS X, so when I upload the original file with Fetch, it looks like htaccess.txt -- after it's uploaded (as text, not binary of course) then I simply change the name to .htaccess
My .htaccess file includes the following:
AuthUserFile /rmgrazi/.htpasswd
AuthName Members Area
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user
Then I uploaded the .htpasswd one level up to /rmgrazi/ like it says in .htaccess.
The text in this file is just one line with my username:password (the password is written in code). I found a website that does this automatically. Then I just cut & paste it in apple+v
I tried using the Terminal application in OS X panther to see if the server path needs to be longer -- I logged into my ftp.hickorytech.net and entered "pwd" -- that command is supposed to show the server path. /rmgrazi/public_html/ are the only folders I can see. "/" is as far back as it will show.
In Fetch I can change the permissions for .htaccess and .htpasswd by clicking Get Info -- I tried all different combinations, 644, 711, etc... Maybe my permissions are set wrong?

Is anyone running an iWeb created website on a non-.Mac host????

Please help me. I have created a draft website and tested it on my hard disk. It ran perfectly without problems. Then uploaded it to my host (www.shorestopeaks.com) and I am getting a lot of error even if I am browsing using Safari (wonder what PC users are getting).
Why is this happening? Is there any way to fix it? iWeb would loose entirely its value to me if I can't fix it because I only run commercial sites, so I cannot depend on .Mac.
BTW. I have never owned an actual .Mac account (opened a trial and never had time to try it ) Can I run a website from there with a commercial URL that doesn't include .Mac anywhere?
Thanks.

Indeed you certainly can host your site somewhere else other than at .mac. I'm hosting mine with Dreamhost and have had no problems. You can take a look at it here (feedback, good or bad, is most welcome—and give your cache a heads up, because there are a LOT of graphics, and iWeb is TOTALLY and UTTERLY innefficient about handling them, so…you have been warned).
Within iWeb, I published to a folder on my desktop and then uploaded the files to my website using Transmit. If you need more specific information/instructions, I can help with that too.

P.S. Not much content at my new site yet because it's, well, NEW. There is a little, though.

File structure question for non .Mac hosts.

I am a support person for a labour union that host web sites for its locals. The technical knowledge level of these web masters are very low. A couple of them uses iWeb to design and publish their web sites. My question is, do iWeb forcibly put all files inside a sub folder instead of publishing to the root folder?
Users will be locked into their home directory after logging onto our FTP server. The index file should reside in this directory. However, the users who uses iWeb seem to always get their files published into a sub directory instead of the root folder.
Since the office I work out of is a Windows based work environment, I do not have easy access to trouble shoot iWeb software. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

When uploading to a server, the inclusion of the file and the folder causes the problem. If they exclude the "extra" index file and upload the contents of the folder (i.e. not the folder itself) to the root folder on the server then all should be well.
If they exclude the "extra" index file and upload the contents of the folder (i.e. not the folder itself) to the root folder on the server then all should be well.
This is not correct, Roddy. (Sorry) The published Site folder that iWeb generates should be uploaded as is. You cannot open the folder and upload the contents inside individually--this will break the site structure.
The Site folder provided by the iWeb application must be uploaded as is--i.e., by dropping the entire folder into the directory. The index.html file must also be uploaded into the same directory--not excluded. Both index.html files, (inside and outside of the Site folder) must be included.

Issues trying to publish to a non .mac host

Hello again,
I built a webpage for an external domain from iWeb. I have published to my hard drive and the result is a folder with all the contents and pages. I went to the external host's page, but I couldnt find an option to upload a folder, only individual files. Does this mean I need to upload all the files one by one? pages, pictures, etc.
Also, how do I make sure the files and webpage structure work for the specified domain, i.e. what needs to be uploaded in order for the domain to pick up all the webpage structure? This is a basic theory question I guess, for me to understand at its most basic sense how to webpages work...
Thanks again,
J

I am guessing that you are trying to upload to your host through a web interface? If this is the case every one is different, but most will have a "upload multiple fiels" or something of the sort.
Another thing you can try is a free FTP client. I use CyberDuck.
http://cyberduck.ch
It works well and you can upload multiple files and folders. The good thing is this will also keep your sites and images in the proper sub floders making sure the links work proper, etc.
Make sure you donate if this works because these people were nice enough to make the software free.

Blogs on non ".mac" hosts

Hi, I think I know the answer but thought I would ask as it may save a few £££s. If I make a website with iweb and make a blog - do I HAVE to have a .mac account or can I publish to my "normal" domain webspace that I have?
Many thanks.

No, you don't have to publish to .Mac; you can publish from iWeb (via a folder) to your normal domain webspace. But then these features will be unavailable:
• Password protection
• *_Blog and photo comments_*
• *_Blog search_*
• Hit counter
• Enhanced slideshows

Can You Create a Fully-functional Web Gallery for a Non-.Mac Site?

I love the idea of the web galleries that iPhoto '08 uses and would buy iLife '08 for that alone... but I don't have a ,Mac account and don't plan to. I have seen only one mention of this in these discussions, and it was only speculation. So here's the question:
Can iPhoto '08 create web galleries with all the goodies involved--skimming over a gallery to see thumbnails of all the images for example--which will be fully functional on a private, non-.mac web site?
If so, then count me in.

this may seem other than your request, but I have a suggestion:
just buy a darn .Mac account already. Personally, I've grown tired of hearning about how .Mac is unreasonably priced all these years. Well guess what, a basic account now gets you 10 gigs of space for about $90 if you pay the taxes. Thats an additional fee that you feel you shouldn't have to blah, blah, blah. -Sure, you can host to your own .com via iWeb and I'm sure we'll all hear about how to host other things without a .Mac account soon. But just pretend iLife costs an additional $90 and move on. It's worth it once you start to use it and you can say good buy to your concern. again, sorry for the indifference, but you can easily get past your issue. Think of it this way... there are many ways to upgrade to iLife '08 that will save you the same amount of money. If you're that cheap, go that route. If you're reasonable, like the rest of us that understand we need to pay (yes, unfortunately) for Apple's innovation, get on the boat and enjoy the ride.
crucify me if you want... this ends my rant.

HTML snippets on non .mac sites

I embedded a HTML snippet for a YouTube clip in iWeb and published it to my non .mac host. It works fine.

Publishing to a non .mac site

Hi, is there a step by step procedure to publish a site to a non .mac host?
Thanks

I changed the name, uploaded the folder, and still
nothing.
When you look at your web space with your ftp program, you should see two items: index.html and a folder called Kiiskakuna. Do you?
When I hit publish,
it automatically publishes to iMac. I have to use
Cyberduck to upload to the other server. Is this
correct?
Yes. You do not hit publish, you use the menu item to publish to a folder. It is a good idea to select your desktop as the place to publish to so you don't get mixed up. After publishing that way, you should see two items on your desktop, index.html and a folder called Kiiskakuna. You use Cyberduck to upload these to your web space.
Right now it is clear that there is no index.html in your web space, so you must not have uploaded that. It must be outside the folder Kiiskakuna and it must be the one that iWeb created outside the folder Kiiskakuna. There is another one inside the folder, but that and everything else there should get uploaded automatically when you upload the folder.
What is the name of the topmost page of your site inside the iWeb app?

IWeb / Non .mac website?

I have the older version of iLife that didn't come with iWeb. I already have two websites with another hosting company. I wanted to know if I could use iWeb to create sites to put on my own existing (and already paid for) sites, or can you only upload your pages to a .mac website account?
Thanks!

Podcasts don't play m4a files on a non .mac account.

So here is the deal I created a podcast site using iweb. Saved to a folder and uploaded it to www.damntourist.com/testcast
I didn't change anything. Just created it and ftp'd to the web.
If you click on the sample podcast, it doesn't load. Seems that mp4 and m4a files do not work on non .mac accounts.
You can also check out www.damntourist.com/audio/rss.xml
This is for another test that I did. Here you will see that the m4a or mp4 files can not be downloaded but the mp3 files can. All of these files are in the same folder.
The files do play just fine from my hard drive in itunes, on my ipod and through quicktime.
Does anyone know why m4a and mp4 files can be played and downloaded from a .mac account but not another server.
I don't mind doing things a little differently. I also don't mind working with my hosting company to make changes to their server.
I have spoken with the Apple Genius Bar folks and they don't have answers.
Is this enough information?
thank you for your help,
-bill

You bet it can't play what it can't find. Problem is, the file is right where the code says it is. Everything is in place. That is what I am talking about. The files are there. The code points to the right place and yet something doesn't work. I even had Apple Genius staff confirm file structure and naming.
It can't play what it can't find:

BFE-4699-
AA40-0F7D430515C1files/200166486-001300x300.mp4
I broke the link (added a space) to keep this from
stretching this page.
The .mp4 file isn't on the server or is named
different than the HTML code.
