Publish error (blog page)

Hi
I added a blog page to my site. I checked the box "allow comments" in the inspector. I tried publishing several times but keep getting the same error message (the problem file being the blog page):
"An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/Site2/JellyBeans/Entries”. Try publishing again later."
I went back in and unchecked "allow comments" and my site published without any problems.
I repeated the process with the same results.
Any help please?

Where are you publishing your site to - MobileMe or elsewhere?

Publish Error message

I tried to publish a new page of photos, and got an error message that said:
Publish Error - Can't create the file "captionimage_13.png." The disk may be damaged, full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges.
I had just published a blog page successfully. I was able to publish the photo page to a folder in the desktop. I opened that and the only png files I could find were images that were in the template, eg. the Mac symbol, and the frames for the photos. Is "captionimage_13.png" referring specifically to one of my photos or one of my captions? If so, how can I isolate the error?
Can someone help me, please.

Hi Geraldine...
I think you may mean megabytes rather than kilobytes when you refer to your file sizes. I suppose it is possible that the limited free space on your iDisk is causing your troubles. I have heard of people who are using the trial .Mac accounts say this (they are only given 50mb instead of 1gb in the standard .Mac membership).
What you can try to test this theory is to delete your currently published site completely from your iDisk. Then try to publish. Here are the steps to do this...
1. Mount your iDisk to your Desktop (type Apple-Shift-i) or use the Go menu>iDisk>My iDisk
2. Double click on the iDisk icon to open it up
3. Find the Web folder and double click to open it up. You should see two folders: Sites and RSS
4. Open each of these two folders and delete all of the contents. This will clear out all traces of your published site.
Now you can try to publish again.
Keep in mind that doing this will take your existing site offline completely until you are able to publish it again.

Photos on front blog page

Hi. I know that in my blog, I have a choice in the inspector as to how many lines show up on the main blog page -- none or all of them. But what I can't figure out is it I can also show the photo(s) in the entry(ies) without making a person click on "read more."
If you look at sites at blogger.com, you can just see everything without ever clicking, unless of course if you want to leave a comment.
Just wondering if this functionality is somewhere and I missed it.
Thanks a lot.

I'm a beginner and have a photo on front blog page but nothing added to either 'entries' or 'archive'. Can't I just publish a blog page plus several photo pages without having to create 'entries' and 'archive' pages? Trying to make things simple for my first Web page. (Not using .Mac)

IWeb unknown publishing errors

anytime I try to publish, or publish all, or click the publish button, it churns for a moment, then gives me a unknown error.
I've sat at a genius bar, sat on tech help, and done all I knew how: deleting preferences and caches.
The genius said I should reinstall my applications with the CD included with my computer. I no longer have the CD, (I have a MacBook), and the woman on tech support said it would be $120 to replace it, but the things I needed were online.
Despite my best efforts, I just can't find what I need, and I need a working version of iWeb.
Help me. Please.

can you publish to a folder successfully?
Have you looked at the tips on Apnewbie's Publishing Errors Help Page.?
What is your internet set up like? (Satellite, wireless to DSL, etc.)
Are you getting an error message? If so, what is it?
Does the error happen while the blue progress bar is up and it says "Creating page xxx"

IWeb team: What's up with the repeated Blog publish errors?

I maintain a simple, albeit many-entry -- all with photos, Blog on my daughter's .Mac iWeb site. Since the last iWeb update, I've started to encounter repeated difficulties when attempting to publish new Blog entries. All other updates on the site (Photo Albums, About Me, etc.) successfully publish, whereas new Blog entries pose the same problem, as follows:
"Publish error - Can't create the file "shapeimage_(blah, blah, blah).png. The disk may be damaged, full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
Many of you are VERY familiar with that ubiquitous message. However, my many attempts at troubleshooting and workarounds (e.g. publish to a folder, close open applications, delete files from iDisk, republish all, trash and rebuild pages, Domain reloads, etc. -- thank you, James Tseng, Varkgirl, et al.) fail to isolate the CAUSE of the problem. Specifically, what is the iWeb app doing while it assembles the Blog page(s) that results in the iWeb-centric "can't create..." error message?
Please note that I am doing nothing different when adding a new Blog. The process is the exact same one that I've employed for over a year, one that lets iPhoto/iWeb do most of the work (in terms of layout).
As most of you know, it's a time-consuming process waiting for updates to publish to the site, let alone wondering IF the updates will successfully publish.
Unless I am mistaken and more often than not, the "shape_image" error message is pointing to a file generated by iWeb as it readies the behind-the-scenes HTML for upload, yes?
I'd appreciate some specific troubleshooting and answers, please.

Blog publishing Error

Greetings Campers,
I've had iweb for quite some time with no problem. Recently I made some changes and I when I click to publish to iMAC I receive two different error messages both appear when attempting to publish the blog site.. ... one claims that it's a network problem and to try again, the other simply states it's an error but specific to the blog site, I get either one message or the other. I deleted the blog site and added a new blog site, this did not solve the problem.
My computer and this site are a substational part of my life as I am in the Peace Corps assigned in Botswana Africa. I do not have computer access in my village and travel twice a month to the city of Maun to update my site. I have download the updates with hopes that this problem will be corrected alas to no avail. Any ideas? Thank you kindly!!

Hi,

The problem is the blog page, and I don't know what todo.
Thanks for your help.

No blog page only 404 not found error

I've just rebuilt one of my sites with iweb 08, after 10 solid hours of work there is no blog page when I check the upload on safari and firefox, all I see is a 404 not found error, a simple solution is all I'm after as I'm a simple web designer!
iWeb 08 *** the life out the fun I use to have with iweb 06 and iweb sites and transmit.

Ok Tom, so after 3 days of experiments and talking to my domain hosts and server people, everything seems to be fine except there are missing images in the blog section and the icons are still missing.
I completely deleted the files on the server and then completely refreshed the files in iweb and saved that to the site folder.
iWeb published to a site folder the site folder and the index html file outside of that folder.
All I did was upload the site folder it's as fool proof as I could make it but there are still missing files on the web page, there are 2 links that don't show up only the frames.
I have found that transmit loses concentration and I have to re synchronise all the time to get all the files through is there a better app?

HT4686 How can I publish my website developed using iWeb and have all functions of the blog page work as it did with MobileMe?

I have developed a website using iWeb and it includes a blog page selected from stock pages in iWeb. I'm publishing it with GoDaddy and when I do that the interactive functions of the blog page don't work. (Adding comments and photos as well as searching). Is there any simple way to host this site somewhere so that those functions work?

No, because all those functions were MobileMe only and now that MobileMe has gone, they won't function any longer.
To enable these to function, you either need to add them yourself or change your blogging platform to something else such as WordPress etc., and create a link from iWeb to your WordPress blog or embed the blog page using iframe into your iWeb site.
Commenting systems such as Disqus or http://www.intensedebate.com work quite well.

Publish Error: Unknown Error -- corrupt page?

Hi, everybody --
I publish locally because I'm still building my site & am not ready to go live yet. This morning, I made some more changes to my site & when I published, I got the "Publish Error: Unknown Error" message.
Via some experimenting, I found that the problem is with one specific page - the publishing always stops with that page. If I move it to the bottom of the left-hand list of pages, the site will publish fine until it gets to that page.
Obviously, there's something wrong with that page.
Before I delete that page & re-create it, does anybody have any ideas as to what might be wrong with it?
Things I've already tried:
*) deleting the .plist file from my iWeb preferences folder
*) deleting the iWeb folder from Caches
*) moving the Domain file to the desktop, creating a new test site in iWeb, deleting the new Domain file & moving the original one back in
*) Rebooting
Any other ideas?
Many thanks!

Hello Michelle,
Good troubleshooting.
If you can publish fine with all the other pages but not with that page in the mix then I think you are on the right path, it is something with that page.
Possibilities:
- Media -- Graphics / Movies / Audio files -- If you have 1 or more "bad" files on this page that could be a source of issues. Try removing those file types and publish.
- Fonts -- A bad font file could cause issues when publishing. Try changing all the text on the page to a standard font like Arial or Helvetica.
- Backup -- Restore from a backup before this issue started with that page
Hope that helps.

Blog page no longer works, mp3 now mov

I recently changed computers to a new iMac. After updating my podcast/blog using iWeb 2.0.4, at least three problems have occurred:
1. some (not all) of my .mp3 files appear .mov files at iTunes
2. the archive of the podcast page no longer works
3. the blog page doesn't work
When you click on the blog page, it returns this error message:
# Exception: TypeError
# Message : Value undefined (result of expression $(parent).select) is not object.
# File : BlogSummary.js, Line:147
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=286040700
http://www.godwhisperers.com/TheGodWhisperers/Home/Home.html

OK. Here's what I did based on the recommendations above:
1. I reconverted all the audio files with VBR. This seems to have stopped the conversion of .mp3 files to .mov video files.
2. I reconstructed my blog. In hindsight, this may not have been necessary in view of #3.
3. I published the site using File<Publish All to MobileMe. This took a LONG time; best leave it for an overnight exercise if you try this at home.
Upon awakening in the morning, lo and behold my site and its archives had returned! The only thing that didn't work was my iTunes link, which returned the news that my podcast was not available in the US store. I was using the short link as per the tech spec:
<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=286040700
This one works, however::
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=286040700
So it appears that Publish All is the trick when moving up to iWeb 2.0 from 1.0. And VBR seems to keep audio files as mp3 files, for reasons I do not understand. Thank goodness this was a relatively new podcast site with only 12 episodes.
If anyone has an explanation for the iTunes glitch above, I'd be most appreciative. I'm going to keep this thread alive until I post another episode to see what happens.
Thanks for the help so far.

IWeb 08 UPGRADE and now receive a "Publish Error"

I am receiving a "An unknown Error occurred" Publish Error after I upgraded to iWeb 08. I cleaned out my iDrive directory, modified my website, etc, and still receive the same error. PLEASE HELP!

I got the "Publish Error", "An unknown error occurred." message when I was publishing to a folder. I tried again and watched the progress carefully, noting that it seem to stop on a blog page. I also found this message in the console log:
2007-08-14 12:37:46.993 iWeb[359] EXCEPTION RAISED during Publish:
** Can't cache image
2007-08-14 12:37:46.993 iWeb[359] Publish error: An unknown error occurred.
I removed the image in the blog's title area and the error went away. It still works after I added it back in. I had to do this for all three blogs on my site.
I do see dozens of these other messages in console log, but nothing has broken yet (that I can tell):
2007-08-14 12:37:47.783 iWeb[359] Error getting configuration data through: getDataAtPath

Error message in iWeb 07 'publishing error to .Mac'

Hi there
I know there were a few questions related to the changes from .Mac to ME and I asked one. What I am now experiencing is that even though my new entries are all published and can be read online, in iWeb, everything is still marked red (unpublished) and once the publishing process is done, I get a message 'Error publishing to .Mac'. Well, I can well imagine that there is an error, since .Mac is no longer continued, but is there a way to get rid of this message and see published entries in 'blue' again?
I am happy if there is no solution, it is more cosmetic anyway. But would appreciate a short answer.
Thanks

Chris ~ You're welcome. MobileMe was a re-branding of the .Mac name — so any reference to MobileMe also relates to .Mac.

Problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums: Lost all blog entries or all comments or unable to publish, etc. If you switch to a dedicated blogging platform you're likely to have a better experience. For a success story using a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:
_To blog or not to blog_

Publish Error - An unknown error occurred.

I have had an iWeb site published to Mobile Me (previously .Mac) for some time now. I have been doing updates recently, have added posts to a blog that was previously just a place holder, a new My Albums page with one album and made changes to my Welcome page. Over the last few days I have been getting this error when trying to publish the site "Publish Error - An unknown error occurred." and the blog entries, new My Albums page, new album and Welcome page will not publish to Mobile Me or local folder. These pages all remain red after attempting to publish them.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me through this problem. I have a new baby at home and I am really trying to get some photos etc online for my family to enjoy.

I tried the suggestions on this support page with no luck.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2588
I am able to publish other parts of my site that are old. For example I moved one of my other sites on my iDisk and then republished it successfully. Note I have not modified the content of that site in some time.

Iweb/ computer to computer transfer/ publish error

Problem with iWeb 09 and in particular publishing on my Blog.
Today I decided to try and shift my iWeb site to a 2nd computer, from my iMac to my MacBook. Both have been installed up to date with all the latest software updates.
I moved the domain.sites2 file as suggested on iwebfaqs website, by flashdrive and put it into the MacBook. My page and all its content from the old machine transferred as would be expected without any glitches. However, when I have tried to publish a new article on my blog on the iWeb site, the first attempt for some reason uploaded without a problem. The second time however, I tried just a minor tweak and it came up with publish error an unknown error has occured.
I attempted several times using the regular methods yet nothing has changed. I have deleted domain and tried again. I am running out of ideas. Any suggestions?

If you are publishing to MobileMe there are problems with it today apparently.

Publish Error (unknown error)

iWeb 3.01
So I decided to break my site into two sites after upgrading to '09. I broke a 360 page blog into a separate website. I did this by simply dragging the blog down to the new website in the navigation window. All links in the blog appeared to update and looked like they would still work. I did have to update references to the blog in the original site.
I published the original site minus the blog in two tries (which is not bad these days), but the second site will not publish. I get the dreaded unknown error. It will not publish to a local hard drive or to Mobile Me. When publishing to a local hard drive the main landing page publishes, and works, but as soon as it get to the main blog page the error comes up. When I examine the resulting site as published to a local hard drive I can get to the blog summary page, but instead of a summary there is the following text: Blog Summary Widget. This is not my text and seems to have been placed there by the build.
Any ideas?
(I don't really want to combine it all back together into one site like before because the whole iWeb experience is so buggy and fraught with problems I'd rather just keep what is working now working.)

Thanks - Yeah, I have backups. That's an interesting idea. My hypothesis is that it will be successful, at least to a hard drive, and I don't want to test it beyond that right now for obvious reasons - heck, the blog was published online until I tried to outsmart the new software so I know the blog data is good enough to work. But even if this is successful, what do we do with that information? Where is this going? (I know people don't necessarily have time to answer hypothetical questions, but I think it's a logical one.)
I actually have two MobileMe sites. I manage the other one with another computer so everything is separate - neat and clean. What I'd really like to do, now that I've pull the blog out of my more active website, is move the blog over to the other MobileMe account. That website stays pretty static and since the blog is no longer being updated I really only need it online for reference only. My idea from the beginning has been to get it away from the active site so whenever something gets stupid, as has happened recently (with iLife '09) I don't have to re-upload all those pages.
I hope all that makes sense.
Is there any way to take something like this out of one website on one MobileMe account and move it over to another website on a separate account without having to build it all from scratch?
Thanks - I will try your test above and get back about that.
