Publish iWeb using godaddy

I have been trying to publish my iWeb website using godaddy, but it has not been working.I am using FTP,but iWeb says it cannot establish a connection. Is there something I need to do in order to make this work?
Thanks!

Yes of course - you need a specific ftp address along with a username and password and when you purcahsed your hosting account from GoDaddy, they should have given you all this information.
This is why I asked you whether you actually had a hosting account from GoDaddy in the first place - do you?
It is just that others have made this mistake in trying to publish using the iWeb ftp feature when they did not actually have a hosting account with GoDaddy.

  • How do I publish iWeb to GoDaddy Server?!

    I have purchased a domain name and webhosting from GoDaddy, but every time I try to publish my website (to ftp) from iWeb, it says the connection couldn't be established . What am I doing wrong? What should I be putting in the "server address" box?  (I have version 3 of iWeb if this makes a difference...)

  • When I opened iweb it opened as a file I deleated. I have a published website with godaddy and would like to update. How can I open the existing iWeb app to the site that is already published?

    When I opened iweb it opened as a file I deleated. I have a published website with godaddy and would like to update. How can I open the existing iWeb app to the site that is already published?

    You cannot retrieve the already published site as iWeb CANNOT open it - it has no import facility.
    You need your domain.sites file, which you can find under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  You do not need any kind of account for this because it is your domain.sites file that resides on the hard drive of your Mac anyway.  Find this file and you can alter your website.
    Use a spotlight search to try and find it and if this does not work you can download something called Find Any File.  If you really can't find it, then you'll have to start from scratch because iWeb cannot open a site that is already published.

  • Publishing iWeb site using MobileMe

    I created a new website using iWeb, set up the CNAME alias, and published it using MobileMe. iWeb indicates the website has been published. When I go to the website, I get an error message:
    Directory Listing Denied
    This virtual directory does not allow contents to be listed.
    Help!?

    I followed the thread and performed the activities to test the site. I too was able to see the site. When I looked at the URL for the actual site, it still shows mac, not mobileme. Is this part of the problem?
    http://web.mac.com/ccgaler/TProcurementSolutions/Home.html
    I'm using Netfirms for the domain name, it was all fine until I used the "Masking" feature. When I selected the "On" radio button, I lost all my graphics and the navigation bar on my site. Now I'm not sure if I have to start from scratch, or if that would make a difference.
    Thanks!

  • Publishing iWeb Changes with Cyberduck

    HI I have been using iWeb for a few weeks and my site has slowly been growing in size. I use Godaddy hosting so the way i publish is:
    1: Publish to Sites folder
    2. Run iWeb SEO to apply Meta Tags
    3.Drag SItes folder into Cyberduck
    This worked great for a while but now my site takes way to long to reupload the entire thing every time.
    My question is if i edit a particular page, what all do i need to upload?
    there is an assets file and index file outside of my main website folder and i assume i update those every time.
    But inside the file it has every html page next to a folder with the files on that particular page so i assume i upload that as well
    Where i get lost is
    there is another index file in there so do i need that as well?
    SCRIPTS- i have no clue
    So if i upload all of these particular things will i be uploading everything that is changed (if i just make changes on one page for simplicity)
    Thanks in Advance!!!

    The Scripts folder contains lots of Javascript instructions for your site and html snippets/widgets that you have used.  You don't need to upload this every time you change something.
    As I have explained in my previous post, if you just change a couple of pages on your site, then all you need to do is upload both those html pages and their respective css folders and that is it.
    I do this all the time with my own websites.  I publish to a local folder and use Cyberduck to upload as I use the iWebSEO tool for inserting tags and Google analytics before I upload.  If I have just changed 2 pages on my site, all I do is upload those two changed pages with their respective css folders and everything works perfectly. 

  • Publish iWeb without .mac

    I'm new to iWeb. I have a domain name from godaddy already. I have read many posts and figured out how to forward my domain to the web.mac.com/address. Like many other people, I don't want to pay the .mac price. (I am currently using the trial version.) So from reading the discussion board, here is what I have gathered to do when my trial version comes close to expiration:
    1. download a "client" such as fetch or captain ftp.
    2. remove the forwarding on godaddy.
    3. continue creating my website on iWeb.
    4. upload the website to my godaddy server using the "client"
    Is this right??? If I am missing any steps, please advise.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for your web site and it's help to us illiterate folk here.
    I've been able to use iWeb and publish to my godaddy account (through Fetch). However, I've hit a snag that I don't like. Is there a work around?
    I used my domain name in my iWeb title (I -think- I understood you correctly) and my web site connects to my iWeb creation. However, the file name that seems to work is a bunch of gibberish numbers (AC29F712-7153-407E-8024-B76605D2C125). It is the file name that iWeb gave to my creation. I did not name it thus.
    I've tried to rename it on my HD and upload it (Home, index, default) but then my home page will not automatically recognize it when I type it (and yes, I've cleaned my cache...numerous times between trials).
    My home page will -only- recognize a freshly uploaded gibberish folder (AC29F712-7153-407E-8024-B76605D2C125).
    I know there is a work around. Can you help a poor gal out? :^)

  • IWeb and GoDaddy combo question:

    I built a web site (with pictures and videos) on iWeb '09.  I'm using GoDaddy for ftp hosting.  All the Login info is correct according to GoDaddy ie; login name, password, server address, user name.  iWeb won't accept the password as valid.  I've changed it on GoDaddy a couple times to reset and try again on iWeb.  No luck.  Any answers?

    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.
    Another option is to publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck, Transmit or YummyLite to upload the files to the server.  You might try one of those clients to see if it will take your user name and password.  With them you'll get a Finder like window of your account folder on the server.

  • IWeb and GoDaddy FTP

    Ok so I have an iWeb site already that I use with MobileMe. Now I want to add another site using godaddy ftp. So I follow the instructions that godaddy gives enter my username, password, etc and test the connection. It fails every time. I really do not know why it is not working or what is wrong. Should I call godaddy? or what.
    Thanks,
    Jordan

    Firstly, do you have a hosting account set up with Godaddy? If not, then it won't work.
    Also, iWeb 09 built ftp is notorious for not being that reliable. I would suggest that you download either Cyberduck or Transmit for free and use either of these to upload your other site.
    You also should have been given a username and password when you set up your hosting account with Godaddy - if nothing works then you need to contract them, but try Cyberduck or Transmit first.

  • How to publish iWeb to iCloud?

    How to publish iWeb to iCloud?

    iCloud does NOT allow you to host your web sites. You can continue to use iWeb but, will need a 3rd party web host to upload your websites to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
    iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
    iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder

  • HELP! Can I view a site I created with iWeb using a personal domain?

    Sorry in advance if this question has already been addressed. I too am sort of a newbie to iWeb. I just purchased a domain name through Google Apps. I would like to create my website through iWeb using the domain name ("www.youngvoters08.com") that I already purchased through Google Apps.
    At this point, I'm incredibly confused. Is it possible to type in my domain URL (that I purchased through Google Apps) and have my iWeb website come up? I set up my personal domain through .Mac and I even tried publishing its contents to a folder (that was even more confusing). The personal domain option says it will take up to 48 hours to link to my domain.
    All I want for Christmas is to be able to type in "www.youngvoters08.com" and be directed to the site I created on iWeb (as opposed to creating my site through Google Apps). Is this at all possible? And does it require me to be patient for 48 hours?
    I'm afraid that the .Mac personal domain option means that I have to have already created a website with another service provider, and it doesn't mean that the personal domain I already purchased ("www.youngvoters08.com") will take me to the website I created through iWeb. I'm also weary that I wasted $10.00 by buying a personal domain through Google Apps, especially if I cannot create the contents of my website through iWeb.
    Did that make any sense at all??? (Sorry for the confusion and redundancy:)

    If you have both sites on one domain file - that is they both load into iWeb at once - click on the name of site 2 in the sidebar and drag it to the top of the list so that it is now in the #1 position. Now do a "Publish all to .Mac".
    Your domain name URL is being directed to the index.html file in the Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites folder. This file opens the site that is at the top of the list in iWeb or, if you are publishing your sites individually, the last site that you uploaded.

  • Suggest alternatives to IWeb and GoDaddy?

    Hello - As we are all aware there are limits to IWeb and GoDaddy. I'm a Macer in a PC world (this is changing but slowly). My PC pals have a difficult time viewing my website/blog and I want to upgrade my site so my pictures can load and fonts translate to PC. I do not sell anything it's just a site for friends and family but I would like to upgrade the look, enhance the capability with PC and Google and am willing to spend a bit of cash. I've heard of Dreamscape? Does anyone have other suggestions? I do the complete ease of use of IWeb despite some of the drawbacks. Thank you. Tami
    www.curioustidbits.com is my blog.

    Hi Tamis,
    You have asked several questions in your post. I will try to answer each one. I can see from your website that you like the free form style possible with iWeb. I have to caution you that achieving maximum compatibility with all browsers, especially Internet Explorer comes with a price.
    There are a limited number of fonts that are considered web safe. A quick search in wiki will give you the list. Using any other fonts will risk problems with certain browsers. If you want to use a special font in a limited way, for example a title, convert it to an image first then place it into iWeb. The price you will pay if you over use this method is a much slower download time for your pages.
    iWeb uses a number of features such as shadows and reflections that can cause problems with certain bowsers. I have found that it is best to prep your images to the display size needed and save them as jpegs. The results are quite predictable with this approach.
    Choosing an alternative to iWeb will require a change in your approach to web design, a trade off you may not be willing to make. To get a feel for an alternative check out Rapid Weaver. I have used both and they each have their pros and cons. Rapid Weaver will force you into a template design. If you decide on Rapid Weaver there are two plugins that add some of the simplicity of iWeb, Stacks & Blocks. You probably will only need one of these.
    Here is a website created with Rapid Weaver, www.quilts4u.com
    Good luck with your website

  • Iweb and godaddy to host it

    I am currently using godaddy to host my iweb.
    My website went online fine, but now any updates wont update onto the net.
    I have contacted godaddy who say everything looks fine from their point of view and suggested contacted apple support.
    Any help would be great as I have filled in everything correctly and uttly confused.

    Do you get a message that the upload didn't go thru?  If not what is making you think the updates didn't get posted? 
    If it's what you view in your browser clear your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and relaod the site.

  • I can't publish - iWeb crashes every time I try

    For the past 3 days, each time I try to publish, iWeb begins republishing all the pages and then just quits. I have been using the program for many months now and everything was fine. I added a lot of new photos. Could that be the problem? As far as I can tell, that is all I did. Any suggestions for getting back to my blog?

    I am having the same problem. I have added another page to a site and iweb crashes. I have watched and it crashes at different times during the publish. I have tried to move the page around but nothing works. The last message I got was:

  • 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?

    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
