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.

  • Please Help Publishing iWeb Website With ... ??

    Please help. This is so unfamiliar!
    I am trying to publish my iWeb website not using MobileMe (don't really know what it is).
    I need to purchase my domain name but don't know of a reputable company that will give me a web address that just ends in .com without other stuff behind it.
    Also, someone said I need a "Bridge" that is Fetch??
    Please advise if anyone can! Thank you.
    Happy Holidays!

    Okay so I have purchased the Hostexcellence basic plan, my domainname and webhosting, and $6 extra for personal information privacy, which came to about $64. At first they kept saying the domainname was wrong or something, until I finally wrote it in in all lowercase lettering, which solved the issue. They said they would connect within 12 hours in their confirmation email... The webpage message said:
    ACCOUNT CREATION DELAY
    We are sorry for the delay with creating your account. Our systems encountered a small problem and could not automatically create your account. You will receive the account access information within the next 12 hours. Thank you for your patience.
    You have chosen to purchase the following service(s):
    Domain Registration: lightkeysandcodes.com , Paid Domain Registration, 1 year(s)
    Hosting Plan: Basic Plan, Quarterly
    There was a problem creating your order. One of our support specialists is already working on processing your order, but if you would like a status update, please feel free to contact our support department.
    Wyodor mentioned starting with my own ISP. What info do I need from them? (we have Verizon).
    I am now looking over the link Old Toad provided. Appreciate that.
    Do i now start with Fetch or one.com to store my pages/files on?
    Thanking you all!

  • Can you export a published iweb website back into iweb?

    I have created my own iweb website which I uploaded to my own domain using transmit. Since creating the page, I had a had drive die on me that I can't access and don't have my site in iweb to edit as I have resorted to a back up made just before I made the site. So I want to know if I can access the site from Transmit and put it back into iweb for editing the site?
    This is my first site I have made entirely on my own and have been learning as I go. If I can't access the site as I made it, I may try accessing the files from Transmit one by one to re-make the pages.
    Any help on this will me very much appreciated.
    This is my site for anyone who wants to see:

    Sure, you could syncronize in the opposite direction to get your html files and images, etc back on your Mac. But you will have to drag and drop, copy and paste to get that content back into iWeb.
    Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around.
    You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over. Sadly, many many people learn this the hard way. Unfortunately, looks like you have too.
    I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). Click here to download it or visit http://iweb.varkgirl.com for more info. The app will make a .zip file of your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and save it to a location of your choosing.
    Then check out Mozy for an online place to store your backups - I just found this and it seems great. They just recently released a Mac friendly version of their app - it automates the upload and encryption. You select the files you want to backup and it does the rest. You can set it to upload automatically after so many minutes of inactivity or once a day. It does it all in the background so you don't have to worry about it! 2GB of storage are free - plenty of room for most people's iWeb Domain.sites backups!

  • 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*+

  • Getting a old published iweb website into my new IWEB

    I created a website a year ago on I-Web 08 and published it on mobile me. The site is still published and working on mobile me. I had my hard drive go down. I did manage to back up most of the drive except the system and preferences. After getting a new drive, I installed 09 on the new internal drive. How do I get all the previous work (content) back into I-Web so I can work on the site once again ? There does not seem to be a way of extracting all the work I did and

    If you did not back up your System library and preferences, did you manage to back up your User Library?
    If so, then your domain file, which you need is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Find this file and double click it and iWeb will open it.
    If you don't have it, then there is nothing that you can do except re-build your site - iWeb is unable to import.

  • Problem with iWeb publishing to IE

    Hello, I am experiencing a problem with iWeb '08 publishing content to Internet Explorer. The images and web pages look fine in Safari and in Firefox, but a lot of the web page images are mirrored in IE, covering up large parts of the text. Please don't tell me I have to spend $79.00 on upgrading to iLife '09. I just upgraded my iWorks to '09, but would upgrading to '09 in this instance even be the answer? Please advise. I fear that I will alienating any of my IE web surfers. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello and welcome to the board.
    IE is a terrible browser to render pages made with IWeb (I'm not sure upgrading to ILife 09 will fix your problem).
    I decided to somewhat "alienate" my IE visitor by putting a message on my home page that recommend them to use a compatible browser. Check my page (using IE here: http://www.wesdotphotography.com/Home.html) and look at the message. Also if you use any other browser you will not see my message and will experience a better browsing. It is not the fault of IWeb but more like Microsoft not writing a proper browser. a lot of people will confirm my say.
    Search this forum and you will see a lot of complaints about IE.
    Good luck

  • TS2167 I am running OS X 10.8.2 and IWeb 3.0.4 (601) and everytime I try to publish my website I get an unexpected error and it does not publish my changes. My website is pretty simple, mostly made up of iPhoto albums in different categories.

    Where are you publishing to?  Can you publish successfully to a folder on your hard drive? Have you read this webpage: Publish iWeb site using FTP. It may have a clue to where the problem is.
    A quick troubleshooting fix is
    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    3 - launch iWeb and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain 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.
    However, when you delete the preference file you probably will have to use the app described below to select and open your domain file with iWeb:
    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/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 Mountain 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 in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that 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.

  • 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.

  • I have more problems in iWeb than I can begin to describe.  For one, after an "unexpected shutdown" of iWeb, it just deleted 10 of my published pages.

    I published the updates to my site last night.  Today I have had to make some adjustments.  I saved iWeb before I left for lunch just in case.  After lunch, I made more changes and through an issue with a photo album, iWeb "unexpectedly quit".  When I went to Revert to Saved..., it did revert to saved, which I didn't realize until then that somehow iWeb had deleted 10 pages before I saved it.  So now I have lost 10 pages. 
    Every time I open iWeb, it tells me it no longer has the links to documents or any of the pictures.  Every time I work on iWeb, I have to reattached all the documents and re upload all the pictures all over my site.
    I could write for hours about the problems with iWeb.  Certainly I am doing something wrong ... but my IT company has no idea what is wrong or how to fix it.
    I have iWeb version 3.0.4 (601)

    First replace your domain file that's in the Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder with a backup copy that was made before this happened.
    If you don't have a backup copy try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    3 - launch iWeb and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain 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.

  • Problems publishing to MobileMe after upgrade to iWeb '11

    I have a web site created in iWeb '08 which worked well. Upgraded to iLife '11 this weekend.
    I opened iWeb and the pages of the site showed as having been changed (page names displayed in red). I added a countdown timer widget to the main page to see what it would look like and selected to republish the entire site to MobileMe.
    iWeb had been chugging for hours now (tried this twice). The little "pie" progress icon next to the site name shows that the site is almost done publishing (showing a complete "pie") but it looks like it is still chugging.
    I checked my site online (www.cruisenotebook.com) to see if it was the progress icon that was incorrect but am noticing that many elements are mising. The menu at the top of the page is missing, the countdown widget is not showing, an HTML snippet on the main page is not showing and any photo galleries are empty. So maybe it hasn't completed publishing...?
    iLife '11 is new, so I don't know if anyone has had much change to work with it, but since iWeb did not change in this release, maybe someone has had similar problems with iWeb '09? (I didn't upgrade to iLife '09 because I wanted to avoid upgrade issues, but I was worried about getting too far behind the current version so I upgraded. This'll teach me!)

    Tried this suggestion. The new test site publishes correctly. I put the original domain file back into the folder and tried republishing. A similar error is displayed (a different file name however). I did get more the site published though. The menu appears on the pages now, but there are still some elements on the site that do not appear.
    I am going to try publishing the site to a file and see how that works.
    Thanks for your help, though!

    You create the usernames and passwords where you host your website. Made with or without iWeb.
    Usually it's done in the controlpanel where you manage your account.
    If you cannot do it there, you'll have to do it yourself. See this post :

    I published a website using iWeb.  I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

    If you're publishing directly from iWeb 3 to your FTP server then you'll have the following in your accounts root directory:
    Site 1 folder
    Site 2 folder
    Site 3 folder
    index.html file from last published site directling to the last published site.
    If you want to keep Site 1 as the primary site you'll need to publish it one more time to the server so you get it's index.html file uploaded.
    Now you'll have to publish Sites 2 and 3 to a folder on the hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck, YummyLite or Transmit  to upload only the site folder (and not its external index.html file with it).
    The url to sites 2 and 3 will be:
