Problems publishing iWeb page to my website

Hello, I'm having a heck of a time trying to get my iWeb page published to the free host server I chose. I have a subdomain name and account at atspace.com and no matter what I do, the darn webpage will not work. I'm a complete newbie to webpage publishing although I have decent knowledge of computers. I went through the entire process of making my page on iWeb, then published it to a folder on my computer, and then have been trying to upload the page to the site using cyberduck, and yet every single time I try to upload any file from the web page, cyberduck connects, but then says the following: ftp error cannot create folder, /About _files About: Permission denied. I've followed all of the steps I'm supposed to from help sites on the web about how to publish an iWeb page to a free host server and it even is connecting to my server, but when I try to upload the actual pages, it won't work. I even downloaded WebEcho as well, and same thing, WebEcho says it worked and that everything is great, and yet I visit the site and nothing works. If I go to my website address it just comes up blank and says that safari can not find the server. I am at my wits end and am becoming incredibly upset with the whole thing. I don't know if iWeb is not working, or the server is not working. I have an account with the server though, I registered the subdomain name, and when I test the connection, it works, but when I type the website address in my browser, it doesn't work. If someone could help me figure this out, I would be very happy and appreciative. Thanks in advance.

To summarize: you use Cyberduck to upload the files to the server.
If that's the case it's not an iWeb issue. Its role ends when the pages are published to the folder on your desktop.
If Cyberduck cannot create folders on the server then you have to find out what the problem is. Either on the server or with Cyberduck.
On basic question is : do you publish to the correct folder on the server? It's usually named public_html, html-docs. Check with your webhost.
+*Not sure what you mean by is it published to the correct folder on the server. I published the page onto my computer, it's in the sites folder on my hard drive. iWeb says it's uploaded or whatever and would I like to visit the site. So I click yes and it takes me to this website: file:///Users/ryanfick/Desktop/Ryan%20Fick/About%20.html This is not the server or the subdomain name I registered so I'm not sure what this is. It works though and I can navigate around the website, but when I go to the website I have a subdomain name at, it doesn't find it. Plus, I have no idea what public_html or html-docs means or is, you would need to explain that to me for me to know what or how to find it or use it.*+
BTW, why not use iWeb to do the publishing. Enter the details in the FTP setup. But check the details with your host first. If Cyberduck cannot publish the pages, then iWeb cannot either.
+*I have already tried to use iWeb to publish the site as I mentioned above, but nothing is working. Thanks for the quick response, but I'm almost completely lost on almost everything you asked or talked about. I'm a newbie to webpages and ftp and such. I have no idea on most of the questions and comments. I do have a few questions. Do I need to manually go to atspace.com and upload all the files individually? There are like a thousand files under the main files. And second, I've been trying to use Easy iWeb to publish it and it is asking me to input a folder to input on to the website that your iWebsite will be published to. I have no idea what this means or what it wants. It says to leave blank if you want to publish it to the top level of your website. So I left it blank and clicked on check configuration and it says configuration OK. So then I go back to the main page and click on publish to web and it says Ready, uploading, then failed to upload file: About .html at /Users/ Does this help at all? What do I need to do, what is going wrong? I feel like I am in bizarrO world right now where right is wrong and wrong is right and nothing works. Thanks*+

Publishing iWeb pages from 2 different Macs

I have recently bought a MacBook to complement my G4 Powermac desktop - the desktop has iLife05 installed and the MacBook iLife06.
I am really enjoying using the iWeb application and would like to be able to publish iWeb pages from both my MacBook and my desktop mac. Is there anyway I can get iLife06 transferred onto my desktop. I have already been firewiring files between the two - can I do the same with software or do I need to buy iLife all over again?
Powermac G4 Dual 1.42GHz

Hi James,
Your response definitely helped me since my boss and I are trying to maintain a website on both of our computers...
BUT, i have a huge problem. Before I knew how to transfer or find the domain files, I used the "FIND" option to search for the domain site on my computer and when i clicked it open, my site didn't come up but rather a prompt asking me what type of website I'd like to create. For months, the website we created showed up every time I opened iweb but now when i simply clicked on domain.site or whatever it was that turned up in the "Find" folder, I can't bring up or locate the site I created on the computer so I have no way to update it or put it on a disc for my boss... Do you have any idea what caused my site to disappear simply by clicking on domain or any idea where i could find my site??
please help!! thanks!
Vanessa
one more thing: is it possible for my boss to edit the content of the website without iweb? could she do it through the actual website with a password or something? just curious... also if i can't get that original domain site back, is there a way i can transfer my website to a different website other than iweb so that i can keep updating without having to redo the whole thing? even being able to transfer separate blogs from iweb to the original site would work too - anything to not have to redo the welcome page and picture pages that are already online

Problem publishing Photo page with iWeb 08

Hello,
I have a problem when publishing photo pages with iWeb 08. Upload starts and then I get the error message that iWeb encountered a problem while publishing. The funny thing is that I can see
the photo page in Safari. The only problem is that when starting the slide show I can not see the
forward/backward buttons. Publishing a photo page with iWeb from a .me web photo gallery works without any error message, but still when starting the slideshow the navigation buttons are not displayed. Actually if you click on the place where the navigation buttons are supposed to be,
you can go picture forward/backward. Any idea ?

I am having the same issue, except I do not get any error messages when publishing to a folder. Clicking on the "index" file within the folder will open the photo page in both Safari and Firefox. Everything functions as designed except no forward/backward/pause buttons are visible below the slideshow. There are text box outlines with a question mark where these buttons are supposed to be located, and I can pause, advance or reverse slides. Eventually these question mark outlines disappear and stay disappeared.
The end result is there are no intuitive graphic indicators on the slide show to even suggest to the viewer that he/she has some control over the presentation. I don't believe I can add explanatory text boxes to the slide show to compensate for the missing icons. This lack of visible control elements in the slide show is a huge issue. I am reasonable sure the problem does not reside within my computer. I've also reviewed inspector control options for a photo page/slide show and haven't gotten any combination of check boxes to make a difference.
I'm beginning to think this may be an unexpected conflict that was contained within a recent software update. It might well be worth a close look at programming code by Apple technicians. In the meantime, can anyone offer a clue as to what might be going on?

New computer, how can I sync my old published iWeb page with new compuer?

I had my old macbook stolen a year ago in Italy. I created and published an iWeb page to .mac on that computer. My problem is that I cannot figure out how I can sync my old page on .mac to my new computer so that I can continue to use it and upload pics. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hello,
and welcome the Apple iWeb Discussion Forum.
Basically you can't figure it out because there is no way to get published pages back into iWeb. iWeb lacks of any html import feature. The only thing you can do is rebuild it by copying and pasting content from the published one to the rebuilt in iWeb. However for photopages that isn't a good idea, it's better to rebuild them from scratch (iPhoto).
Be sure to make a backup of the domain.sites2 file (where iWeb stores) its files from time to time

Publishing iWeb page

I've been trying to publish my iWeb page without success.. any suggestions?

What system version and iWeb version are you using? Can we safely assume your publishing you site to MMe since you've posted in the MMe discussion? What happens when you try to publish? What do you see?

Problems publishing iWeb website

When I publish my website icons are misplaced and fonts are wrong. It seems every time I republish it happens more. Driving me crazy!! Help!

If you're using iWeb 3 to publish directly to the FTP server it may take using the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu option to get all of the files uploaded.

Problem viewing iWeb pages on PC

Hi, this may have been addressed already, but I didn't see it anywhere. I believe I have v1.1. I have a couple of issues. One, the fonts that are "loaded" to the template, don't even show up correctly on safari or any other browser I have. So I had to go with very generic fonts.
The main thing, though, is once I get the site published, it looks fine on my mac. But when I try to access the site on a PC, the text and pictures sit on top of each other, so you can't read anything on the blog.
Anyone know how to fix this??
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I'm having similar problems... Everything looks fine on the mac but PC's can't view the page correctly... now I am attempting to post videos and my question is, does iWeb require quicktime to view video files even if they are avi, or wmv? Because on the PC's I have tested windows media player does not attempt to view.. it just wants me to download quicktime.

Burning a published iWeb page to a cd-rom

I have created a webpage on iweb. It has been published into a folder on my macbook.
I need assistance on how to burn it to a cd-rom to where it will automatically start the webpage when the disk is inserted into the drive.
(purpose of disk/page for assistance). I've created this webpage as a marketing tool. I want to be able to give it to potential clients without them having to go through files to start the page up. It also has documents on the page in pdf format which they can print out if they wish. I don't want the disks back, so if possible, make it a read-only disk also... so they're not able to mess with the files.

Burning files and folders to a cd/dvd is very simple.
Choose new burn folder from file menu and add the files and folders.
http://www.google.com/search?q=mac+burn+disk
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2154.html
Use cd-r/dvd-r disks to burn read-only disks.
Practice with a cd-rw/dvd-rw disk to use the disk again.
Files do not open automatically on a Mac. And on Windows the init file is used. Search for it to learn how to do that.
Your clients can mess with the files, by dragging them to the desktop.
And don't expect perfect results. Webpages are meant to be served thru a server, not opened on the desktop. So don't cry if your precious website looks horrible or doesn't work properly. It's not iWeb's fault.
Put the site on a server and send a link to your clients.
Show them you're a pro and not an amateur who learned to press a button.

Adsense problem on iweb pages posted on .mac

with iWeb we have a perfect tool to publish easily from our mac on me.com
BIG PROBLEM: Google adwords does not allow you to post via mac on me.com and wants you to use the complete and total reference, instead of the simple and easier sitename.
trying to talk to google people is fairly impossible, like talking to a wall. they don t understand that
a. me.com is the general mac site for iweb users
b. posting an ad with something like me.com/mepossem/user/bienvenidos.html is a bit counterproductive, and www.alicanterestaurante.com is 'a bit' easier.
makes one wonder what the intelligence level is at google ...
conclusion: don t lose your time if you have an apple mac website, and just simply go to yahoo. unless someone can come up with a solution ....

ok Roddy, you made your point we should not host on .mac etc. so if someone can (maybe) come up with a solution that has any sense?
or are we down to 'forget about .mac'? not very interested as i want to keep the management of the site to myself, due to frequent changes I have to make into it, and both .mac and iWeb suit me perfectly. I am about once or twice on national TV or radio here in Spain, and updating the website with this combination of tools is what I want.
imho Google are just simply being fastidious, as the real influence is about nil ....

Publishing iweb pages with other domain host?

Hi...
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to host the page I created in iweb with another domain host?
Thanks

Under the File menu in iWeb there is a option called "Publish to Folder"
That folder will contain all the HTML files, etc necessary to create your webpage.
You will then upload (FTP) the contents of that folder to your host.
There are several FTP programs available including Yummy, CyberDuck, etc... are you familiar with FTP'ing?

Unable to publish iWeb pages to .Mac

I have been using iWeb (version 1.1.2) quite happily for past two weeks and have successfully published to .Mac/Mobile Me. But today I have been having loads of trouble and have been unable to publish anything, although I can publish to a folder, which is of no use.
When I try to publish I get the following types of messages:
Publish error
An error occurred while publishing file "/Web/Sites/iWeb/Site 5/Welcomefiles/navbaractive.png".
or
Publish error
An error occurred while publishing file "navbar_active.png." Try choosing >Publish all
Can anyone suggest a solution. This is driving me mad.
Tony

Let's not mince our words: the version of iWeb we are using is ****** and there is no help available anywhere on the Apple website. Check out my various posts on this topic. I am going to save my work to disks and will not renew my iDisk account in a couple of weeks.

Small (visible) images on published Iweb page

I generated a web page recently, loaded, looked at it under Safari, Explorer and Firefox. So far so good.
When my friend looks at it on her Macbook pro 13" laptop, all the images in the slideshow are not much bigger than thumbnails - maybe 200 px maximum size, no matter how big we make the safari window.
Any idea why she has this problem?

I changed the monitor settings to 1280x800 and viewed the slide show of [this photopage|http://web.me.com/timothyholt/Mamma_Milly/Untalented.html] .
With the browserwindow stretched to fullscreen, the images are 613x417.
With the monitor settings to 1920x1200 the images scale accordingly.
You may want to check with other computers. Perhaps there's a problem with the MacPro screensettings.
Also check the images themselves.

Is anyone else having problems publishing iweb?

I can't seem to publish for the life of me.
I keep getting:
"Publish Error
Publish failed due to a network error. Check your internet connection and try again."
Yet the whole time I am connected.
anyone know what the problem might be????
Thanks!

Loads of people are having this problem. Check out the topic: "Absolutely can't publish to .mac" here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1280753&tstart=45

I am trying to put an iweb page on a website that already exist on godaddy

I have a web site that is hosted by go daddy that was created by a third party, on his computer. he only put up a front page with a contact us link. I just bought i web and created a new page that I want to be a back page. I have followed the steps given to me by both go daddy and iweb, but it is not showing up on my web site. the sight name is www.nakedsonproductions.com
Thanks

It's not very clear what you expect to happen when someone goes to the site. Are you supposed to see the "front" page and then click on something to go to the "back" page? If so, there needs to be a hyperlink added to the front page. If you will clarify this perhaps someone can help.

Scrolling problem in one-page scroll effect website

Currently the site I created with Muse has two problems, boths have to do with the second anchor in the page.
- When opening or reloading, the site automatically scrolls to the second anchor at 671 pixels (with the text Situatieanalyse). Thereby passing the first part of the page.
- When scrolling the site or using the navigationbuttons, the site sometimes scrolls automatically scrolls to the same anchor at 671 pixels.
To me it looks like both issues are related to each other, because they deal with the same anchor. How can I solve these problems?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Alexander

Hi Sanjit,
In the beginning, I thought the problem was solved. However recently I discovered it was not completely ok. I contacted Adobe Support for this issue. It seemed the bleu background image had a large frame. Adjusting this frame to the size of the picture solved the problem partly. Do you have any suggestions?
Kind regards,
Alex
