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?

What are slideshows like using 08 on "non-.Mac" sites?

Publishing to a straight URL here. Does 08 give a better slideshow on "non-.Mac" sites? 1.1.2 site were funky white and non-animated. Don't want to upgrade unless this is a sure thing. Thanks.

HTML snippets on non .mac sites

I embedded a HTML snippet for a YouTube clip in iWeb and published it to my non .mac host. It works fine.

Here are some tips on using non-.Mac sites:

I added a counter and other html to my non .mac site

I added a counter and other html to my non .mac site by simply adding the code to the index.html page after I published to folder.

Also, I would suggest requesting a change in your credit card number that was
used for that transaction just to be safe.
Also, since they actually got access to your computer, if you have any other
financial account info on your computer, you will need to monitor those accounts
quite closely for any fraudulent activity. There is no knowing what they might have
accessed. They quite possibly may have downloaded your whole life.

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.

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 Create a Fully-functional Web Gallery for a Non-.Mac Site?

I love the idea of the web galleries that iPhoto '08 uses and would buy iLife '08 for that alone... but I don't have a ,Mac account and don't plan to. I have seen only one mention of this in these discussions, and it was only speculation. So here's the question:
Can iPhoto '08 create web galleries with all the goodies involved--skimming over a gallery to see thumbnails of all the images for example--which will be fully functional on a private, non-.mac web site?
If so, then count me in.

this may seem other than your request, but I have a suggestion:
just buy a darn .Mac account already. Personally, I've grown tired of hearning about how .Mac is unreasonably priced all these years. Well guess what, a basic account now gets you 10 gigs of space for about $90 if you pay the taxes. Thats an additional fee that you feel you shouldn't have to blah, blah, blah. -Sure, you can host to your own .com via iWeb and I'm sure we'll all hear about how to host other things without a .Mac account soon. But just pretend iLife costs an additional $90 and move on. It's worth it once you start to use it and you can say good buy to your concern. again, sorry for the indifference, but you can easily get past your issue. Think of it this way... there are many ways to upgrade to iLife '08 that will save you the same amount of money. If you're that cheap, go that route. If you're reasonable, like the rest of us that understand we need to pay (yes, unfortunately) for Apple's innovation, get on the boat and enjoy the ride.
crucify me if you want... this ends my rant.

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...

Publish album to a .Mac site instead of Gallery

Is there any way I can publish an iPhoto album to a web site on .Mac instead of the Gallery?
thank you,

select the photos you want to send to iWeb and click on the send to iWeb ==> photo page in the toolbar - if it is not there go to the view menu ==> show in toolbar and click on send to iWeb

Updating/Editing Non .Mac Sites

I've created a website for my sister-in-law and am waiting for her domain name to get pointed to the server to which I've uploaded the files.
Presumably, it is way easier to make changes to active sites using iWeb. (Or is that the only way? The source text for my iWeb website is way too complex for using a text editor.*)
But must an updated/edited site be "published to a folder" every time, and then those files uploaded via FTP to the outside domain? Or do the existing files in my Sites folder get updated automatically when changes are saved in iWeb, thus making them ready for an FTP upload?
Presumably also, the edited files when published to a folder would overwrite any existing ones in the Sites folder. Yes?
*See http://web.mac.com/hap.allen

SIte is now up and running -- and I've uploaded an update just to see that it works. Thanks for your well-informed "Yesses."
1. Will the Users > Library > Application Support > iWeb folder hold more than one "Domain.sites2" file? Would each project be given a different name in that folder? I don't want to overwrite one web project with another.
Fortunately, I'd been reading elsewhere about that folder so that when iWeb asked me for a domain folder to open (and after a brief rush of poo-poo to the heart), I knew where to look. Using Preview in Leopard I was able to see that it was the one I was after.
2. Must any website projects I do be left in the column on the left of the iWeb window? If not, what files would I need to save so that I could open them in iWeb? Would I go to the above folder again to retrieve them?
Thanks for your help.

How can I publish to my non-iWeb site

I want to use iPhoto but not iWeb.
It doesn't give me an option to publish any other way.
Can someone help?

You need to use File->Publish to Folder... which will create your site in a folder on your Mac. Then you need to upload the contents of that folder to your website using an FTP client.

Using iWeb to publish to a non mac account

I guess the question is in the subject.
I'm just wondering if it is possible to use iWeb to create your website, but then send it to a different domain/server?

nuorder72,
Welcome to the discussions.
Easily done. Create a new folder on your desktop, and name it for your site. From the file menu in iWeb, choose File/Publish to a folder..., and select this new folder. iWeb will deliever your site, in it's own folder, and the index.html file needed for the site. You will upload both of these as they are to your server, using an ftp client.
Some good tips and more details on this can be found in these notes by Tom Gewecke.

Issues trying to publish to a non .mac host

Hello again,
I built a webpage for an external domain from iWeb. I have published to my hard drive and the result is a folder with all the contents and pages. I went to the external host's page, but I couldnt find an option to upload a folder, only individual files. Does this mean I need to upload all the files one by one? pages, pictures, etc.
Also, how do I make sure the files and webpage structure work for the specified domain, i.e. what needs to be uploaded in order for the domain to pick up all the webpage structure? This is a basic theory question I guess, for me to understand at its most basic sense how to webpages work...
Thanks again,
J

I am guessing that you are trying to upload to your host through a web interface? If this is the case every one is different, but most will have a "upload multiple fiels" or something of the sort.
Another thing you can try is a free FTP client. I use CyberDuck.
http://cyberduck.ch
It works well and you can upload multiple files and folders. The good thing is this will also keep your sites and images in the proper sub floders making sure the links work proper, etc.
Make sure you donate if this works because these people were nice enough to make the software free.

If you're having Podcast hosting issues on a non-.mac site, please read:

So, last night I spent an insane amount of time trying to figure out why my podcast wasn't working on my website. I host my domain with godaddy.com and I just knew it was a hosting issue, not a iWeb or .m4a issue. Sure enough, I was on a Windows webserver and as soon as I requested to be put on a Linux server, my Podcast was playing properly on both my website and iTunes. I saw many people on the board with the same problem and I'm here to tell you, SWITCH TO A LINUX WEB SERVER! =) Later!

i was able to change it through my control panel on my host's website. i think windows web server runs on IIS or something lame like that and linux, well, not sure what runs on that...maybe apache? anyway, thank God for being able to switch on the fly. what a nightmare.
