Problems publishing my iweb to mobile me

HI, I apologise if anyone has answered this question before but I have not found a result which works for my problem. I have created a website via iweb. It seems to publish fine but when i go to my site after it publishes it, safari can not find my site. I am unable to click on the view site button (only directly after the upload when it asks me). For some reason, my site is not active?? I am logged into mobile me and using a trial account. I have an active gallery on mobile me but my site wont publish. It is frustrating me and I am not receiving a response from apple. Please please please can someone help me as I want to use iweb instead of other blog sites. Perhaps I should buy another domain? Would this work? Thank you

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.

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

HELP! I can't publish my Iweb to Mobile Me

Hey Everyone! I am currently in Nigeria and the internet is sketchy at best. It is very slow but does have a continuous signal. I've tried five times to publish my iweb and I keep getting the signal that it couldn't connect to Mobile Me. This is after 3 hours of attempting to publish. I've already published before when I was in the States and I just wrote a new posting on the blog that I want to upload. Is there a faster way to upload/publish since I only made one small change rather than publishing everything again. I didn't choose Publish All to Mobile Me... I just picked Publish. Does anyone know what to do?? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. This fix for another MobileMe issue might help you:

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.

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.

Problems publishing to a non-mobile me URL/host - HELP!!

Hi,
I'm using iweb 08 and having major problems posting my site to my hosting service. I'm using BlueHost with a godaddy URL and the problems are not on their end. I'm using Easy iWeb publisher 5.0.1 to upload it and gives me could not upload errors every time. The files it has errors with change a lot and I know it's not my files because I have successfully uploaded my site a few times (after 30 tries or so.) I need to update my site but I can't seem to get thru the upload process. Also it takes FOR EVER to upload. Please help! my url is benwolan.com

Try a different ftp client. The free CyberDuck is well though of in this forum.

Picture published with iWeb to Mobile Me disappears in Explorer.

My website brandgarden.no has a photo on the last page. This photo works fine if you use Safari or Firefox, but disappears after 1 second if you use Explorer. Can this problem be solved, so even Microsoft users can look at my website?

It's all in the manual
You publish to MobileMe. With or without a domainname.
To use your domainname, follow the instructions in your MobileMe account where you setup Personal Domain:
https://secure.me.com/account/
Where you'll find a link to [iWeb: Using your own domain name|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1107]
Or read it in the [MobileMe help|http://help.apple.com/mac/1/help> : Account > Setting up a Personal Domain
You can have only one domainame with Personal Domain at MobileMe. To use the other one you have to enable URL forwarding where you host your domainname.
And browse this forum. Your question is not unique and has already been answered a few thousand times.
Oh, I forgot. Here's the move :

Having problems publishing from iweb now mobileme no longer exists

Hi, I recently downloaded Mountain Lion and have icloud as I understood this would allow me to use iweb and publish my site via icloud. I have since learnt that you can no longer do this.
I'm not very technical but just wondered if someone can help. Can I use iweb sites that I created when mobile me was around and publish them or do I need to create new ones? Also do I have to publish using an outside host if so who should I use & do I have to pay? If I do need to do this then can you point me in the right direction on how to do this please and thanks.

Problems with iWeb and mobile me

Ciao everyone,
I've been having a ridiculous amount of problems with my mobile me account and my iweb. 2 weeks ago I was fine with my iweb and mobile me but all of a sudden my iweb would say it publish but it really doesn't publish. The I went to the mac store a couple of times and thought I would get answers but I didnt get any answer even though I had a couple of one to one visits with a couple of stores in NYC. So when i publish it it shows that it published in my www.me.com/idisk/iweb folder but then it doesn't show in my website. Then one guy told me that I should just recreate a new site but copy and past all the old information to the new one. Now it won't publish at all because I guess its a lot of information to publish at once. I get an error message saying error iweb was not able to publish please try again later. Any help?

Hey you guys,
Thanks for the help, but I did try to publish all to my iweb and it didn't work. I do try to view my published website through the file/visit published site and for some reason only my intro page is there then when i go into the main page i get an error page. I also did go to my finder/Go/idisk/myidisk/iweb/site/iweb and saw my websites folder. Everything seems to be in it. I tried to take a screen shot of what is in my folder but I can't post pictures. In my folder I have a folder for gallery, index.html, site, shites.rss, and my website folder usvisualswebsite
Any other suggestions? This is really frustrating. I also created another test site with nothing in it and published it and it says it finishes publishing but the blank test page isn't there.

Can not publish to iWeb 3.0.2, maybe a sync problem, how to solve it?

My earlier MacbookPro died and I got a new one. Since then the iWeb does not work at all. I have a valid Mobileme subscription till spring next year, but iWeb does not show the existing sites (which are in the other computer) and does not start publishing and does not want to sync the existing sites into the new one. I can publish to Homepage, though.
The only action iWeb does is to take me to the Sync window, it confirms that I have a valid subscription, but thereafter nothing happens.
This must be a problem with sync settings, I gather, but where do I find it, and the key to solve it?
I do NOT want to sync all information from this computer to mobileme or viceversa, otherwise I loose info stored from the previous computers to my iDisk and mobileme spiderweb.

You need iWeb's Domain file from the other computer (your old MacBook Pro) — here's a diagram of where it usually resides:
...But since it "died" and presumably inaccessible, see this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
“Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but *there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb*. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.”
By the way, here's the normal procedure when your old computer has not died:

iWeb: Publish to your MobileMe account from more than one computer

Thanks

SOS! iweb will not publish due to a mobile me error...

Ok, I am so incredibly desperate for someone to help me. I'm hoping this has happened to someone else and they can tell me what I need to do.
I have created an iweb. Wow it looks great etc. I signed up for Mobile Me because I wanted to be able to publish it. Mobile Me signs in on the internet...however when ever I try to 'publish' my iweb and log into Mobile Me through my computer it says there is a validation error. But I am using the exact same username and password online and it lets me in.
I have contacted the mobile me online support team and they helped me troubleshoot...so many different things. It turns out it isn't connected to a mobile me error apparently..
Has this happened to anyone else????? The website is my professional portfolio and I need to have it up and going for my interviews!
Please help!!!!!
Thanks so much!

It might sound oversimplified but it could be that you have old login/Keychain items that have become corrupted or misrouted (it happens).
Try downloading Onyx for your version Mac OS and running ALL it's maintenance and cleaning routines (it's a free app). That will clear out old log/Keychain and login items without affecting your current viable passwords.
If that doesn't work you may need to use the Keychain First Aid tool to fix your login credentials stored on your machine. You can find it in your Utilities folder on your Applications folder, open the Keychain Access app and run the First Aid tool.
If neither Onyx nor the repair tool helps let us know.

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 by Mobile Me

Hi Dear's ,
I have trouble to publishing my iWeb by MobileMe, i got free domain from Dot Tk then i configuration CNAME between my host name and web.me.com by. after finally, i open new browser link to my hostname (www.zems.tk) then do you know what? the result page is forwarding to apple.com/mobileme interface.
confused
SO, HOW TO CONFIGURATION iWeb to publishing by mobileme exactly?

All you need to do to publish to your MMe account is:
1 - log into MobileMe via the System/MobileMe Preference pane.
2 - set iWeb to use MobileMe as the publishing destination by clicking on the site's icon in the left hand pane of iWeb and select MMe from the drop down menu (upper right hand image in screenshot):
Click to view full size
After publishing you can check to see it went as expected by entering the following URL in your browser: http://web.me.com/MobileMeAccount_Name/SiteName

I changed web hosts and can't publish through iWeb SEO Tool or Rage Site Map Automator. Do I need to delete the old site map?

I switched to iPage hosting since Mobile Me is expiring. Also recently upgraded to OS X 10.7.3 and am using iWeb 3.0.4 for my web site design. I published directly to the FTP from iWeb but all title tags, meta tags have disappeared and I'm not showing up in Google or others. I tried publishing from iWeb SEO but it couldn't complete the process.
Should I first publish to a folder as I did before with Mobile Me, then delete all old sitemaps and start over with the Site Map Automator and then try to publish from the SEO tool? Will I lose the key words and meta tags that are already in iWeb SEO?
Thanks!

The problem is that most tech support people don't understand how iWeb structures a site.
When a visitor types in "domain-name-com" the browser expects to find an index.html in the root folder on the server. In "normal" websites the index.html file is the first page of the site.
The iWeb index.html file is a redirect to the first, or landing, page of the site which is the one at the top of the left column in iWeb just below the site name.
iWeb produces two index.html files.
One is outside of the folder containing the rest of the files and directs to - folder-name/home-page-name.html
The other one is inside the folder and directs to - home-page-name.html
You have two choices of how you upload the files since you are publishing to a local folder.
You can upload the whole folder plus the external index.html to the root folder on the server and the URL to any page will be...
http://www.domain-name.com/site-name/page-name.html
If you upload the contents of the site folder, and not the folder or the external index.html, the URL will be...
http://www.domain-name.com/page-name.html

How to publish from iweb using snow leopard

Hi,
Having had my iMac for some 4.5 years I finally have a real reason to use iweb and now can't work out how to publish from it.
I only have a mobile me option come up when I click the publish option. My mobile me account was deactivated some time ago and reactivation is not an option. I can't see any other option for publishing. Is there one or have I missed my chance?
Has anybody faced the same problem and found a solution?
Thanks,

What version of iWeb are you using? iWeb 09 or 08?
If using 08, then you'll need to select publish to a local folder and use Cyberduck or FileZilla or Transmit to upload your site to another server.
If using iWeb 09, then select your site name and a drop down menu should appear that has 3 options - publish to MobileMe, publish to ftp and then publish to a local folder. You either need to select publish to ftp or local folder to upload your site to another sever. This is what you will need to do anyway come the end of June when MME will be no longer.
Find a new host now.
