Publishing iWeb sites through FTP

HELLO!
I really need your precious help. I am an Italian teacher in a primary school. We have been making a website with iWeb and - obvioulsy - our pupils enjoy using iWeb. Now we do have a serious problem, we can't publish it via FTP.
how can we do?
The thing is we have already bought our web space through Web Hosting and they assured us it is possible to publish sites crearted with iWeb, but we need to put file in a folder called public. html. Now how can we do? We have contacted the custumer care service but they told us they don't know iWeb so they can't help us...
Where do i find the files i need to put into the file called public? and how?
Evrything was much easier when we could publish with mobileme...
Please help.
THANKS!
Andrea

Hello Andrea.
I have just uploaded 3 websites I made using iWeb and published them to external hosts. It is really very simple.
In iWeb, select your website (Not the Welcome' page or any other but the main title from which all other pages fall below.)
Now in the large central Window where you see "Publishing", select FTP Server from the drop down menu of "publish to".
Below this your site name (can be anything but preferably relevant to your site)
Contact email address (It's not neccessary but can be one you may want to use for your class)
Now we have FTP Server Settings :-
Server address: This must be the name of the domain you have already purchased. Mine was johnburtonglass.com and so this is my server address. (no need to type www )
User name: This must be the username you were given for your host control panel
Password: This was also given to you by your host
Directory/Path: public_html (type this in as your directory/path)
Protocol: Select "FTP"
Port: 21 (This is also normal but may be different.)
All these settings can be aquired from your domain host if you need them.
Now click on "Test Connection". All should work ok and a connection should be made.
Now you just click "Publish" on the lower bar on the left. (with green arrow above).
It really is that simple.
Good luck. :-)
Regards
John

I need help!I can´t publish my site through FTP

Hi there,
I have recently bought the domain for my site www.jonayvane.com at startlogic.com. I have the account information and password necessary but when I publish the site and i go to "see my site" the URL displayed is http://www.jonayvane.com/www.jonayvane.com_ and I get a 404 error page not found. I have tried not entering a site name for the site so that the second "www.jonayvane.com_" will not appear but I still cant get it to publish because Iweb makes me give it a sight name. I have tried reading similar problems on the forum but I don't quite understand the solutions given and most people have at least already managed to publish their site, which I haven't. At present I am only loading a basic "home" page so I at least don't have to wait for a couple of hours to try out a different option.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks a ton,
Jonathan.

Do not compound problems by creating other problems.
First do it the default way. With a sitename iWeb creates by default.
Did you enter the info to connect to the server correctly :
Servername (probably ftp.jonayvane.com)
Username
Password
According to your Host's tutorial I understand you can leave the Path/Directory field empty.
Give it a try.

Publishing iWeb site with FTP

My registered domain is www.peuterspeelzaalrisdam.nl/
When I upload with FTP iWeb is adding 'file' to my domain, so www.peuterspeelzaalrisdam.nl/file
So nobody will find the site because of this added 'file'
What can I do to change that???? Anybody solutions?

Publish to a folder and upload only the contents of the folder named "file" using a free ftp app like Cyberduck.

Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get - 404: Page not found This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-is the problem with iweb or with hosting? T

I am sorry if thie is republished-My first time doing this and I am not sure what goes where and where to hear feedback.
Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get -
404: Page not found
This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-
Troubleshooting suggestions:
Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.
Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists
is the problem with
iweb or with hosting?
One Apple tech started to fix Iweb and had to end session and the next said problem with hosting at Network Solutions as it published
to local folder. NWS has checked sttting a few times-
Any help would be extremely appreciated as trying to fix this for about five weeks
Thanks VG

It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

Published iWeb site the hyperlinks formatting

When I view my published iWeb site the hyperlinks do not all have the same formatting as they did in iWeb. How can I resolve this?

Hello, I am using iWeb 3.0.4 (601). I publish the website to my local machine (from iWeb) so I can send it off to someone more technical to publish to the internet and manage all of the 'optimisation' etc. This is where I am seeing it is not as it looks within iWeb. Can I 'send' it to you somehow? Thanks for your response.

1st time publishing my site through Iweb

I have created a under construction page for my site. I have tried to publish the site to my domain and Iweb tells me that it has been published. However, when I go to the site all I see is the mobile me home page. What am I doing wrong?

If you have published your site to MobileMe you should be able to reach it at....
http://web.me.com/username/
.... where "username" is your MobileMe user name.
If you have a personal domain name, have you set it up in the iWeb File menu under "Set Up Personal Domain Name on MobileMe"?

Publish iWeb private with FTP

Hello,
Due to the MobileMe end, today I publish my site, made with iWeb, to a FTP server. The first problem I noticed is that there is no option for privacy. Any work around for this?

Password protection is done on the server and you can protect individual pages if you want...

How do I publish iWeb site with Cyberduck??

Hi there,
I am trying and trying, but I can't figure it out. Can anybody help me and tell me how to publish an iWeb site with Cyberduck??
Thank you so much!
Marc

Okay, this is not complicated at all.
When you want to publish an iWeb site to some place other than MobileMe, then you publish to a folder of your choice on your hard drive and iWeb will create all the files needed. It will create one folder that has the same name that you called your website inside iWeb plus an index.html page. So if you called your site Site in iWeb, then when you publish to a folder, your folder will be called Site, plus the index.html page.
You then need to open Cyberduck and enter your ftp info, plus your username and password and then you click on open connection. Once you click on open connection you will be connected to your hosting service and there will be a folder there called Public_html. You then need to upload your folder plus index.html file from your hard drive and once these have been uploaded, you just drag and drop them into the Public_html folder on your web space. To upload in Cyberduck, just click on Action at the top and click on Upload. Once you click here you will be shown all the files on your hard drive and all you need do is go to the folder where you site is stored and then click on index.html and it will be uploaded and then click on Site or whatever your site is called and upload this and it will be uploaded.
It is not difficult at all, but you do need to know what you are doing.

Menu buttons won't work after publishing iWeb site

Once i publish my site from iWeb and then go online to check the site, i try to navigate through my new site's pages by clicking each of the menu buttons at the top of the page. After I click one and the page changes, the menu buttons stop working and I can no longer navigate the site.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

The Actor page still has some graphc/object partially overlapping those two links in the navbar. You can see it by going to that page and typing Command +A (select all). I couldn't determine which graphic file it was from the Activity window.
You may have to create a second actor page and copy and paste each item, one at a time to from the old to the new and publish to see if you can isolate the culprit.

Publishing my site, successful ftp transfer, how do i view the complete page?

I have created my website in dreamweaver cc and my css, I connected to my server through FTP and pushed all my content (images,my html site document, and css document) and they are all showing up server side as a big list but when go to my site, www.example.com/nameofmydreamweaverhtmlfile, it shows up with text but no images. i can see any image by going to the site www.example.com/nameofimage. im probably making some dumb mistake but at a loss for how to publish the site as a package so that the www.example.com/dreamweaversitename page loads as i have built it with all images and css file

Thanks for your reply and time, I am a newbie to dreamweaver, can you tell from these screenshots if its correct?

How can I publish iWeb site in root directory in place of a prior site?

Hi there... I have created a family web site and published it to my .mac account. The problem is that I had previously published another site and that site remains in the 'root' directory of my account. Practically, this means that if anyone types in:
web.mac.com/[username]
... they will get my old site instead of the site i wish them to see... Is there any way I can move my new site so that typing the more simplified 'root' address (above) will bring up the site I wish for them to view?

Do you have both sites in iWeb together? If so, then simply look in the Site Organizer, select the site that you want to come up by the short URL and drag it to the top of the organizer. iWeb will make whatever site is at the top of the Site Organizer the default site. You should probably do a "Publish ALL to .Mac" after doing this so that all the files are in the right place. So once you do this you can access the default site with the short URL http://web.mac.com/yourname and then you can access the second site by using its URL directly... http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/sitetwoname You could also provide links from site one to site two and vice versa to "link" the two sites together.

Anyone know how to publish iWeb site to .mac groups?

Hi all
This is my first message here... So... Be patient plz
I'm afraid that I know the answer, but I hope that someone can tell me(us) more...
Is it true that it is NOT possible to publish a site from iWeb to a .mac group?
Why this feature is missing???
I've heard that this was present in iWeb 07. Is it true?
Anyone knows if it will be available in a future patch??
sigh, I've just buyed a .mac accounts to publish project for private groups... :(((
Thanks to all for support. Excuse me for my bad English
Mayran

It's Sad.
Groups are, in my opinion, the best feature of .mac account.
Project, club, private site of people... great things.
It's why I have payed for this account.
But if you can't use the integration of mac to build up information
it's very useless and to me it doesn't appear too professional
from apple to cut off this feature.
My fault, I haven't seen this particular information.
Anyway thanks for the information
I hope apple will reintegrate this feature

Publishing iWeb Site on a Personal Domain

Hi,
I'm having a lot of trouble publishing my site to a personal domain. I am using iWeb 08 and am publishing via MobileMe and domains.com is my host. For some reason, I just can't get the site to publish on my personal domain. My personal domain is registered on MobileMe and the CNAME is programmed into the domains.com DNS management area. What's going on that's not allowing it to appear?? The site is just blank...please help!

Works fine for me too, but not if you place the www before your domain name. If you want this too, you may need to go back to your DNS settings and set up a new CNAME for your domain name that includes the www part too, but only if you want to.
