  • Using unix 'diff' command to publish iweb to non .mac server

    It is a common problem that you can't upload incremental changes to a website a web server that is not a .mac. Recently I found that the unix (shell) 'diff -qr' works nicely for this.
    However I can't seem to get this to work in automator. That is where I need some help.
    What I did :
    I have an iweb website in my directory
    Documents/website
    I made a second directory where I store my uploaded version of the website:
    Documents/websiteonserver
    Using a shell script I want to compare the differences between these two directories using the diff command in a shell script. When I run 'diff -qr websiteonserver website' in a terminal window, it gives a nice overview of which files are changed and which ones are new. When workin with iWeb this saves me a lot of time uploading my homepage to a non .mac server. I can only upload the changed files, which is usually only a few. Diff does not look at timestamps (which are useless in the iweb case) but it actually looks into a file and with the -q option it stops when it finds a difference. With the -r added (-qr) it also looks through all subdirectories and compares files with the same name.
    I like to automate this process so that my wife can update our family homepage with just one mouseclick (or as few as possible)
    Unfortunately the diff command in automator gives an error, and there's no info on why it does this.
    The commands I gave:
    cd Documents
    diff -qr websiteonserver website
    (using PWD i verified that the path is correct like this). The only stumbling block for automator seems to be the diff command. Anybody any suggestions on this?
    The next challenge is to take the diff output and use that to upload only changed/new files to a ftp server.
    Any help / ideas are welcome
    Greetings,
    Adriaan

    Dear Cyclosaurus,
    I used a single command as us specified. It really helped to add the path to the directories I wanted to compare. So now at least I got it two work partly:
    It seems to work only if I compare two files. Comparing directories still does not work. Maybe diff generates some kind of error code when doing this??? It does not do that in the shell.
    If I compare all files in directories + subdirectories , the workflow does not work. It seems as if it only accepts a single output line or so from the diff function. If there is more output (or maybe some newline character) the workflow halts. Very peculiar.
    mmm.... I will try to make a shell script which I can run in automator. In the script file I will then generate a txt file. Then the automator can run the script and then it can open the resulting file in a text editor. See if that works.
    mmm nope. I made a script like this:
    #!/bin/bash
    diff -qr ~/Documents/websiteon_theserver/ ~/Documents/website/ > ~/Documents/logfile.txt
    I modified the atributes to executable and I could run it from the command line. The logfile.txt was created and has the correct info. I could not run it from automator...
    I did copy the last line from the script into automator. And also there it does create the logfile, but the automator still says there was an error and stops.
    maybe I should try Applescript, were it not that I am totally clueless on that language...

  • Non mac server publishing

    When publishing to a non .mac server certain features do not work... any way to get them to work. rss for one
    Are there any other features that I need to know about that may not work?
    Thanks

    RSS should definitely work. It's just a matter of entering the correct domain name in the "Publish to Folder" dialog box and also uploading the correct items to your server. I can help you with this if you desire.
    As far as other .Mac only features that won't work for you... these include blog commenting, search, password protection, the enhanced photo template slideshows, .Mac counters, etc.
    Of course, you can find replacements for all of these features...

  • Comments Not Working on Website - published to non-.mac server

    Hi there. I've read on a few non-apple sites of users having trouble with Comments and some other functions of their websites, built in iWeb, not working when they publish to a non-.mac server. I've built my website in iWeb, published via CyberDuck to a BlueHost server -- but now users can not post comments on my blog.
    Has anyone found a way to fix this issue??
    It seems incredibly pointless to even now have my own domain. I'm super close to giving up on iWeb all together because of this ridiculous issue.
    Thanks in advance.
    www.kellerowski.com

    Unfortunately, blog comments are a MobileMe only feature along with the hit counter etc.
    You have to publish to MobileMe if you want these features.
    There are workarounds however. If you want to continue to use an iWeb blog, then you can use a third party comments feature. Take a look here http://www.intensedebate.com. It is free to set up on the site and all you then do is copy and paste the code into an html snippet on the page you want comments to appear in whatever format you want them.
    Your other option is to ditch iWeb and if it is just a blog you want, use something like http://www.wordpress.com. This is free and you don't need a domain name and the blog is published on WordPress servers.
    Your other option for a blog is http://www.posterous.com.
    The iWeb blog system is not that good, so you might look into changing if a blog is what you want rather than a website.

  • Publishing to a non Mac friendly server + network

    I am sure this has been asked countless times - feel free to point me to the correct discussion forum-, I am having trouble publishing my Iweb site in to a non .Mac server. Any ideas?

    In the past 24 hours I was able to publish my domain
    to the folder with the URL I was given. The webmaster
    is asking me which of the files uploaded is the one
    that links to the webpage. Clearly I am missing
    something when using Iweb with a non .Mac server. Any
    tips and ideas?
    When you "publish to a folder" from iWeb you should get a folder on your hard drive which has the same name as your site does inside iWeb, plus an index.html file. You then use ftp to upload these two items only to your server space run by your webmaster. Is that what you did? If not, what did you do? I don't understand what you mean when you say "published my domain to the folder with the URL I was given."
    Did you read the link provided earlier? Do you have questions about it?
    What server are you using, and what ftp program? What is your url supposed to be?

  • Can you post Web-Gallery to a non .Mac server?

    iPhoto 08 and web gallery look pretty neat.
    Do you have to post the Web Galleries to .Mac or can you use a different server.
    Would like to continue post our college sports photos to our campus (OS X) server using web-gallery.

    Jack, I don't think you can post web galleries to a non .Mac server. There seems to be a lot of support behind the scenes that makes Web Gallery work as it does. Normal HTML doesn't work like that.
    What you could do, which would bring some of the reflections-on-black look, is send the photos to iWeb and use the export HTML option (not sure what it's called) in the File menu to create a gallery that you could host on a non-.Mac server. It wouldn't look exactly the same but you'd get whatever is possible without the .Mac-supplied functionality.

  • Get iWeb to publish as .htm to non-.mac server

    Hello,
    I've created a website and now need to publish it to my university server to simply saving it in a folder. The problem I'm having is that the pages all need to be .htm not .html for some reason and I can't find a way to make iWeb do that...
    Has anyone else had experience of using iWeb to publish in this way?
    Cheers
    James

    That could be tricky. Simply renaming the files would not be an option, since you'd then have broken links pointing to the old .html filenames.
    Are you sure you need to have the file extensions as .htm? In other words, have you tried uploading a test .html file and confirming whether or not it can be viewed via web browser? Older versions of Windows (like, *way back* in the day) required filenames to follow the 8.3 naming convention, but I can't imagine your university server is running something that old.

  • RSS button on non mac server

    Greetings,
    Very new at this. I want to install an RSS button on my blog. The mac button doesn't work on Yahoo. Any suggestion?
    Any reaction as well regarding the Technorati button?
    Counting button?
    Many thanks.

    I'm not sure why you are saying that the RSS subscribe button isn't working at Yahoo. This is most likely due to the fact that you entered the incorrect host address in the "Publish to Folder" dialog window.
    For example...if your hosting account is accessed by typing in http://www.yourdomain.com then you must type this into the URL box of the "Publish to Folder" dialog window. Then when you upload to your host, you must upload the two items that iWeb puts into the folder....
    My Folder
    \__ index.html
    \__ mysite folder
    Don't upload the enclosing folder (My Folder)....just upload the index.html file and the mysite folder, so that your server directory structure looks like...
    http://www.mydomain.com
    \__ index.html
    \__ mysite folder
    It is important to keep the relationship between the index.html file and the mysite folder intact as published by iWeb....otherwise your RSS feed URL will not work.
    On a non-.Mac button, the RSS feed and Podcast subscribe buttons should work fine. The Apple counter does not work on non-.Mac servers. You will have to look into other services like http://www.statcounter.com for that.

  • Publishing to a non .mac site

    Hi, is there a step by step procedure to publish a site to a non .mac host?
    Thanks

    I changed the name, uploaded the folder, and still
    nothing.
    When you look at your web space with your ftp program, you should see two items: index.html and a folder called Kiiskakuna. Do you?
    When I hit publish,
    it automatically publishes to iMac. I have to use
    Cyberduck to upload to the other server. Is this
    correct?
    Yes. You do not hit publish, you use the menu item to publish to a folder. It is a good idea to select your desktop as the place to publish to so you don't get mixed up. After publishing that way, you should see two items on your desktop, index.html and a folder called Kiiskakuna. You use Cyberduck to upload these to your web space.
    Right now it is clear that there is no index.html in your web space, so you must not have uploaded that. It must be outside the folder Kiiskakuna and it must be the one that iWeb created outside the folder Kiiskakuna. There is another one inside the folder, but that and everything else there should get uploaded automatically when you upload the folder.
    What is the name of the topmost page of your site inside the iWeb app?

  • Using iWeb to publish to a non.mac domain

    Can I use iweb to develop a web site and publish to a domain that is not .mac?
    Or can I host a non.mac domain on .mac?

    Can I use iweb to develop a web site and publish to a
    domain that is not .mac?
    Yes, you can. But not directly from iWeb. You will develop your pages in iWeb but the choose the "Publish to Folder" option. This will put all the files necessary for your website in a folder on your hard drive. You will then need to use an FTP program to upload the site files to your 3rd party web host.
    Or can I host a non.mac domain on .mac?
    Yes, you can also do this. You can do your pages in iWeb and then "Publish to .Mac". Then you can use "Domain Forwarding" available from your registrar or some other redirecting html to forward people who type in your domain name to you .Mac iWeb URL.
    Either method will work fine. You will lose out on .Mac specific features (like slideshows, counters, passwords, comments, search) if you host your pages on a 3rd party web host. Also you lose the ability to do incremental uploads (uploading only changed pages) directly from iWeb if you're not using .Mac.
    Good luck to you. If this has been useful information to you, please do me a favor and click the "solved" or "helpful" buttons in the title bar of this reply. Thanks.

  • Background picture missing when post at non .mac-server

    Hi, I am new at this so you have to excause me if I ask stupid qustions.
    I’ve just made a homepage using Iweb. When published at:
    http://web.mac.com/katamaleegarden/ it looks the way I want it to look, when published at:
    http://maleegarden.com the background picture isnt there. What have I done wrong?
    MiniMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Welcome to the discussions, Malee.
    It looks like the problem is the name of that image (and one other image on your page AND other images on other pages). .Mac can handle names like these
    http://web.mac.com/katamaleegarden/iWeb/7CDA7829-0DE9-11DC-AD00-000D93787A30/Ima ges/balkongfontän1-2.jpg
    http://web.mac.com/katamaleegarden/iWeb/7CDA7829-0DE9-11DC-AD00-000D93787A30/Ima ges/Orkidé8-1.jpg
    But when you post those to another server, they become
    balkongfontän1-2.jpg
    Orkidé8-1.jpg
    The easiest way around it is to change those names so that they don't use any special characters, like
    balkongfontan1-2.jpg
    Orkide8-1.jpg
    If you go back through and change your image file names so that they don't have those characters, you shouldn't have a problem with missing images on these pages either:

  • Publishing (uploading) with Netscape Composer to non-.mac server

    I'm new to iWeb. Created a simple one page site with a photo and some text, and Published to a Folder (on my desktop). Uploaded all the files to my server webspace (as instructed by them using their File Manager service). Transfer went OK, but viewing the webpage did not. First, the URL had to be all lower-case (didn't work with any caps ...result = "not found"). Secondly, only the text in the page appeared; the photo and other graphics were replaced with little squares encasing a ?-mark.
    After several attempts (and discussion with server's tech support) I decided to use Netscape Composer to "publish" (upload) the files to my server. Not only was it much easier than using my server's File Manager, but the site WORKED!! So now, I use iWeb to create/update my page, but use Netscape Composer to upload it to my server.
    Still, however, the URL has to be entirely lower-case, or I get the "not found". Minor inconvenience. When I type in my URL, the browsers automatically add the extension "/Welcome.html". I have to change the 'W' to 'w'.
    Comments as to why it wouldn't work with the first method?____
    For browsers, I used latest versions of Safari, Firefox, and Netscape Navigator.

    Comments as to why it wouldn't work with the first
    method?____
    Because "file managers" are usually garbage and won't allow you to preserve the structure of an iWeb site, so that it won't work right. It is best to always use a real ftp program. Some tips are here:

  • HELP PLEASE: Trying to upload site to non .mac server

    Hi there,
    I am a complete newbie when it comes to uploading a site to a server.
    I have completed the site I made in iWeb, have not included spaces in the title for each page. All the movies are in .mov or .mp4 format. all my pictures have been attached through iPhoto. I have published it to a folder on my desktop. I am trying to upload to my cousin's server which he created himself using Cyberduck. Unfortunetly he is away the the moment so I can not ask for his assitance. I have the password and user name to the server, & have tried uploading the site once before. nothing came up, apart from a blank page with a few folders that were orignally there before I uploaded the site. Cyberduck says the upload was successful, clearly it wasn't. All the files and folders are shown within the program.
    Can anyone help me? I need to upload the site by today, thanks...

    nothing came up, apart from a
    blank page with a few folders that were orignally
    there before I uploaded the site.
    This usually means you failed to upload the index.html file. You must upload two items: the index.html file and the folder which has the same name as your site does inside the iWeb app.
    Here are some tips:

  • Help combining iWeb sites or Uploading to a non .mac server

    Using iWeb 2, my lovely bride created a site on her MacBook Pro and uploaded it to our .mac site. It (of course) overwrote our entire family set of sites (three altogether). Luckily, I still have those on my G5. Is there anyway to add her site to my domain file so I can publish them all?
    Went to Apple Store in Bellevue, WA and genius and resident iWeb guy have no clue.
    I also have other servers I could put her site on but when I publish it to a folder and upload it to that server, it loses all the links. Not the linked files (I assume they are all still there) but the actual links on the home page on hers don't show. You can see this problem at http://www.koobraey.com/alaska/InfinityMates2007/Home.html
    If you know this template, you know there should be links above the title. And if you think that looks bad, you should see it on a PC. Yikes.
    Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
    Jim

    When you publish to a folder in iWeb '08 there are three files that were not present in '06.
    These are "feed", "media" and "scripts".
    If you are uploading your files one by one, as I tend to do at times, you may have missed the 'feed" file. Have a look on your server to see if its there.
