Problem publishing my iWeb site to new server

I have a problem publishing my site to a new server HostGator.
I click publish, everything continues normally, then I get an ERROR notice:
Publish Error
There was an error communicating with the FTP server.
Try again later, or check with your service provider                  
Since I changed the settings for the new server all the iWeb pages symbols go pink every time I close and reopen iWeb.  Once I have tried to publish and get the ERROR notice I see that most of the pages have turned blue (suggesting they have been correctly published) and the same 5 pages remain pink (suggesting they have not been published)   I have used the HostGator link
http://gator694.hostgator.com/~carouge1/carouge-art/Welcome.html
to look at the uploaded pages.
All the pages are on their server file BUT the pages which remain pink on iWeb have problems. These problems (missing photos etc.) don't seem to affect the pages when the site is called up normally. The site is apparently still being uploaded to people’s computers through MobileMe eventhough I have changed the server settings! So I’m assuming the page problems will show up after MobileMe stops at the end of this month?  I cannot find an explanation for the failed pages from HostGator or from the Apple online answers.
Grateful for any advice.

I am having a similar problem trying to upload from iWeb through FTP to MacHighway web hosting.
I am using iWeb 3.0.4, the latest version.
I have followed the instructions on the MacHighway site: https://customers.machighway.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=10
When I type "public_html" into Directory/Path window in iWeb I get the following message:
Testing failed.
The directory/path couldn't be found.  Verify your settings and try again.  
When I type "/public_html" or /public_html/" into Directory/Path window in iWeb I get the following message:
Testing failed.
A connection to mel.machighway.com couldn't be established.  Verify your settings and try again.
Unlike carougeart, however, nothing gets uploaded.

  • Publish an iWeb site using Lion Server

    Does any one know how to publish an iWeb site using Lion Server.
    I've been getting failures every time I try to publish using ftp server choise.
    HELP!!!

    I solved this by turning off passive mode. I was using iWeb and Rapid Weaver for creating websites and had the same problem. Now they both work fine on the transfer. Hope this helps.

  • Can't publish my iWeb site - has index file something to do with it?

    Hi, I've been trying to publish my iWeb site (not on a .Mac account but through ftp upload) but it hasn't worked out so far... I phoned my webspace provider's support service and the wguy I spoke to was convinced that it's due to the index file not being an .html file (he thought that the problem lies with the index.xml.gz file). Searching the discussions on this site, I figure that this isn't what's causing the problem after all...
    To continue working on the site while using another computer, I copied the 'Domain' over. Now that I've brought it back to the original computer, it seems to be causing these problems. Any idas what I could do or where the problem lies? I'd be really grateful for any hints as it's driving me 'round the bend! Cheers, A

    Did you name any of your site's pages "index"?  That can cause problems.
    Are you able to publish your site to afolder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser?  If you haven't tried  do so and see if you can.  If you can and the site works as you designed it then the issue is in the uploading of the files.
    In that case you might try using  Cyberduck to upload your site folder and  index.html file to your server.

  • Problems with my Iweb site after using Iweb Seo Tool!!

    I just used the Iweb Seo Tool with my Iweb 09. I followed the Seo webpage instructions to use it. I published it and everything seemed to work well.
    I added Google analytics and used every option available that the tool offers
    As of today. When trying to use my bookmarked link in my bookmarks toolbar, it didnt work.I entered my site into the address bar and my site loaded fine.
    But...I have some problems.
    My comments in my blog have disapeared
    I cant log into my MobileMe account through my system preferences
    My password and use name are rejected
    I can log into my site through MobileMe.com and I have even changed my password.
    I have tried to publish my Iweb site and I get the error "Couldnt reach the MobileMe configuration server"
    I publish using my idisk and mobileme account
    I have looked on other forums and found out that if i move my "cache" from my "home" folder, to the desktop that it should work... no luck!!
    Please Help!!!!
    my website is www.kulturetattoo.com if you want to see where my comments are. They are listed under "testimonials" on my home page
    Can I just delete the Iweb Seo Tool and get rid of any metatags, google analytics and everything else? and have my old website back?

    iWeb SEO Tool can modify your site after you've published to MobileMe. It will do it on the MMe server. Takes longer but you can avoid having to publish to a folder and then uploading from there. Also the latest version, 1.7.2, is supposed to work with blog pages according to the developer: http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html

  • Problems publishing to iweb

    I just want to thank everyone who post on here as your advice really does help.
    I had problems publishing to iweb and the following suggestions made by you all helped me overcome the difficulties I was having. I am posting this so that others who may be having the same problems as I was may sort their iweb out too!
    Obviously not all of these will help everyone and some people may disagree with what I have said but (touch wood) these ALL sorted out my iweb
    1. Empty your cache frequently.
    2. Do not use web counter/email me buttons
    3. rename your photos so that you are not using !@£$%^&*()_
    4. keep trying

    No, its not strange at all. When you set up a MobileMe account and publish a site from iWeb it publishes to your iDisk, which is your Apple server that host your site.
    Your url for an iWeb published site to MobileMe will be http://web.me.com/username/sitename. You don't actually need the sitename if you only have one site, so as OT has said http://web.me.com/username.
    No - reggie88.com is not your username, this is a domain name. www.reggie88.com is a domain name also, not a MobileMe username. Have you actually gone to a domain name registrar and registered a domain name? If you want to use a domain name with MobileMe, then you need to go and purchase one first from a domain name registrar.
    No - iWeb does not tell you in iWeb that you username is www.reggie.com. The only way that iWeb will have this at the bottom, is if you have logged into your MobileMe account and gone to the Personal Domain name settings section and entered a personal domain into here. Log into your MobileMe account and check whether you have done this - this is the only reason why iWeb will display this.
    Next question, do you actually own or have you purchased a domain name - reggie88.com? If you have, then you can use this domain with a MobileMe account, but there are other steps that you need to go through first to link the two.
    In the meantime, find your site by entering the url http://web.me.com/username which in your case is probably going to be http://web.me.com/reggie88 and you should get to your site.

  • Moving iweb onto a new server

    I have two websites that I set up under mobileme which i have not used for a while. I wish to make them live again with a new server. How do I move the content onto a new server?

    Republish your site from iWeb to the new server...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
    If you don't have a domain name some hosting services will gve you one free...

    If you did have a domain name with MobileMe you will need to contact your registrar to get it forwarded to the new server.

  • How do I fix an error "4652747.png" when publishing my iWeb site to iMac?

    Every time I try to publish my iWeb site to .Mac I get an error message that says there's an error in " ...files/ca4652747.png." I know this is an image file, but when i search for it on my hard drive it shows a blank image. I've tried deleting the file from the hard drive but when I re-publish, a second file "c00ff001c.png" on a different web page shows the same error. I can't figure out how to fix these errors. It publishes to a folder, or so it says, but i don't know how to check that. I am supposed to publish the entire site at the end of this week and have all the work done but can't get past this point. Can anyone help me? I'm a new mac user and this is my first shot at web design, so I've probably missed something obvious, but would appreciate any help.

    k, try this:
    backup your domain file! delete the one in the folder BUT HAVE A COPY OF IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. Then open iWeb, create something save it and publish it!
    now go to your backuped file,make one more backup!!!!
    move one of the backuped files into the Users/username/bblablabla folder and open iWeb. try publish all and see if it works!

  • Issues with publishing my iWeb site to .MAC - Progress bar freezes at 100%

    Well, as topic says, i'm having troubles publishing my iWeb site to .MAC now since upgrading to '08. The progress bar reaches full circle, but then nothing. Left it uploading to .Mac for well over 2 hours one time while out of the house...nada. Sometimes i get an error message, sometimes not and have to close iWeb while it's still publishing.
    Any feedback regarding this?
    Thanks in advance.
    /Rich

    Update: After 36 hours, I have successfully managed to upload my entire website via the "Publish All to .Mac" option. I now have blue indicators on the left side of my iWeb program in place of those pesky red ones. How did I do it? Well, I'm not sure. But on my last attempt I looked at the problem from a different perspective, so I took an alternate approach. I had a feeling that I was experiencing a network timeout issue caused by a 3rd party software, so I created a Whitelist entry on my website filtering software that allows unlimited access to "idisk.mac.com";; and "web.mac.com";; domains. I've got two kids at home, so I'm running the free OpenDNS Dashboard service on my network which provides content filtering (blocks adult site, phishing site, etc..). I started using this service two weeks ago. My last website update was a week before that. I figured I had nothing to loose by trying. To my surprise, it worked. Now, it took almost two hours to publish, of which the pie indicator was in the  "filled" position for a nerve racking hour. To reconfirm,  I then made a minor change to one of the pages on my website and re-published. This time using the "Publish to .Mac" option in place of the ALL option and once again it worked. It took less than 5 minutes. Now, I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, maybe Apple fixed the problem, or maybe my website filtering service was causing some type of time out issue all along??  Don't know.. But at least for now, I'm a happy camper since I have my site up.

  • What FREE hosting service should I publish my iweb site to???

    What's the best free website hosting service I should use to publish my iweb folder to through FTP???
    I dont get how to use FTP to publish my iWeb site folder to a website server also?? I have Cyberduck.
    Please, any suggestions will be much appreciated!!!!:)

    You publish to a folder and then use an FTP client like the free CyberDuck to upload to your selected host server. You'll need to search for free hosting servers and select the one that will work best for you. You will get ads embedded in your web site when you use a free hosting service.

  • Has anyone published their iWeb site to their old Homepage folder?

    Hi,
    I'd like to avoid changing URLs, and was thinking I could just publish the iWeb site to the folder my homepage site is in on my iDisk. Would that work? Has anyone done that before? Any issues I should know about?
    Thanks for your help!
    Lora

    Lora. It can be done but not much is to be gained and many features will not work the same as if published to a "folder" and then uploaded to your iDisk.
    Do a bit of "homework" and learn some of the rules about iWeb, Homepage and your iDisk.
    Changing your URL's is the easy part. Getting all the external parts to work is, well, work.
    Plenty of ways to integrate older pages (via external links) into your new iWeb pages.
    The brave can edit the html code to make their own iWeb and Homepage Sites:

  • Does anybody know if we can publish an iWeb site in iCloud?

    I was a member of MobileMe but since it was announced that it will be discontinued I didn't renew my subscription.
    So, my question is if, I can publish my iweb site to iCloud?
    Please advise.

    What happens to the iWeb sites that I’ve published to MobileMe?
    You can continue publishing iWeb sites to MobileMe through June 30, 2012, even after moving to iCloud. With iWeb you can easily move a site published to MobileMe to another web hosting service and you should do so before that date. Please read this article for details.

    I'd like to publish an iWeb site within my iCloud account.  How do I do this please?

    To publish your website you need to choose a hosting service. Here are some some pointers about what to look for...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
    Most hosting services will also offer you at least on free domain name registration.
    Since you are using iWeb '08 you will need to publish to a local folder and upload the files using an FTP application...
