Serious trouble to update / upload my iWeb-Site to MobileMe

I have created a website with iWeb 11 and frequently updated this website from several locations while beeing on the road. Now while it became too many photo albums I restructured the site with a "my albums" site which organizes these photo albums. Now I attempted several times to update / upload the site. But first I became an error message that some file in one photo album would be missing. So I deleted that album and recreated it from scratch. Then I got the error message that the mobileme server wouldn't be avialble. And finally I only got the message that the website could't be published.
I start to get upset. What can I do?
Anything that helps is highly appreciated!

Roxpat ~ Glad that worked out for you (and thanks for your appreciative words.) I'd heard good things about +Media Temple+ a year ago and had prompt responses to my email enquiries about speeds between their center in California and Spain. (In the end, though, I didn't need their services.)

I agree; this was part of their reply to me:
Well since you are in Spain you would not have the ability to take advantage of our short path bandwidth. Although our servers are all enterprise-grade, our data center is Tier 4 certified, and we use redundant fiber backbones to the Internet, there are many other factors involved that dictate the final speed you experience. Therefore, it is really difficult to say what your transfer speeds will be like with our service. We recommend conducting trace routes and ping tests to s1555.gridserver.com for insight into the network speed and routes between your location and (mt) Media Temple's (gs) Grid-Service.
...Yes, I thought, ...let me get onto those +"trace routes and ping tests"+ right away! (Presumably via +Network Utility+ in the Utilities folder.)

I have just uploaded my iWeb site to a FTP host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone very strange! How can i get it to publish the same as I designed it? Thanks in advance....

Please help! I have just uploaded my iweb site to a FTP Host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone wrong! Many thanks...

Maybe you could let me know which hosting service you are using so that I can add them to my list of those NOT recommended for iWeb users!
I just dealt with one today who claimed the iWeb sites were incompatible and that the first line of code should be deleted from every HTML file before upload to their server.
They didn't even offer the information that it would be a lot easier to modify the .htaccess file never mind offer to do it for a customer.
Nobody should expect to pay for service like this and the answer is to dump them and go to a company that gives you some value and support for your money. If the ones on this page don't meet your requirements for cost and service...

Updating & Editing an iWeb Site

I am making a website using iWeb for a PC User and uploading it and giving them the exported iWeb file. Can they update or edit the site I create for them using a PC program such as www.pagebreeze.com or another PC Program? Do you have any suggestions? I won't be uploading it to .mac
Thanks,
Flippy

No, they can't.
Pages created in iWeb cannot be edited outside of the application, in any serious way. Some post processing changes can be made, but not efficiently for a PC user.
Great opportunity to tell them what a great operating system OSX is....

How can i upload my iweb site to my tripod host?

have been using tripod as the web host for my website for years. mostly used dreamweaver to build the original site, but it is teadious. rebuilt my entire site with iweb and i can't get it to be compatible with tripod. any suggestions? do i need to find another web host and transfer my domain ect.? would like to keep it where it's at, but really want to be able to use the iweb on my macbook pro to maintian and update the site.
thanks

This depends on whether you have iWeb '09 or above (version 3) or earlier (version 2).
Up to and including iWeb '08, it was only possible to publish to other hosts by 'Publishing to a folder' and then uploading that local folder to a website host using a separate FTP client. From iWeb '09 an FTP method was built-in, making it easier to publish to a host other than MobileMe.
In order to upload your existing site in iWeb '09 and above:
Click on the name of the site in the sidebar: the publishing settings pane will open. Set 'Publish to' to 'FTP'. Enter the name of the site and a contact address (if desired).
In the 'FTP Server Settings' section you will need to know the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. Your site will be published in a folder with its name at root level of the server, with an index.html file at root level (which will overwrite any index.html file which may be there already). The 'Directory/Path' field may need to include a path such as '/webspace/' or 'ht_docs/' - this is dependent on your hosting service and they should tell you this. If you want to publish within a folder you can add that to the path.
You can then click the 'Test connection' button so that iWeb can check that it can get access to your server space. You should enter the URL of the site in the 'URL' field so that rss feeds and internal links have the correct address.
To publish using an earlier version of iWeb:
From the File menu choose 'Publish to a folder'. You should create a folder somewhere convenient specifically for this and choose it when publishing to a folder: this folder should not contain anything else.
You now need an FTP program (FTP is the 'protocol' used for uploading) to upload the contents of the folder to your server.Cyberduck is free (donation requested): Transmit is $34 but I think better. You will need the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. You can drag the contents of your folder to your webspace, or create a folder there and drag the contents to that if you prefer.

Can't Upload new iWeb Site

Ok, so I had my old iWeb site uploaded everything was great. I modified the look and now I can't seem to get the **** thing uploaded. I have tried three different programs. I've tried Cyberduck, Fetch, and one I saw on here Easy iWeb Publisher v1.2.3.
Every freak'n time I try they disconnect on me. For example, Cyberduck and Fetch timeout and disconnect on the 'about us.css' file. it's only 4K, but it will not load it. What is going on? I'm so completely frustrated. I leave for LA in one day and I need to get this site uploaded. Please help!

I would roll with you on that one, except my old site
had the exact same titles and it worked fine. I have
been trying to upload this new version of our site
for a full 24 hours and yet I only have about 4 pages
loaded. iWeb really need to have ftp features with
options to choose publish only changed pages, etc.
This really has nothing to do with iWeb. The current various dedicated ftp programs have more options than iWeb would ever likely have itself. Any problems you are having are the result of issues with your host or your connection or your ftp operation. Your host ought to be able to look at logs and find out what's going wrong and fix it.

Need to update another users iweb site

I wan't to take over updating duties on another user's iweb site. They can't handle it so they'd like to defer to me. Is there a way to do this?

You will need to obtain their Domain.sites2 file from their computer. It will be located in their User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Copy it to your Desktop, rename it to represent the site name, "Site_Name.sites2", and place in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Then drag that iWeb folder into the left hand pane of any Finder window so you can easily access the contents of that folder and select the site you want to work on.

Strange! Cannot update extensive, published iWeb site.

I've been trying to research a problem in Discussions similar to my own but cannot come across a satisfactory answer.
For the past two weeks, I've experienced very slow "Publish" updating of my extensive iWeb site. In the last 24 hours, I've been unable to update the webiste at all. Here's the error message:
"Can’t create the file 'shapeimage2_link2.png.' The disk may be damaged, full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
Mind you, I'm well sort of my iDisk capacity, have the current version of iWeb, am running a reliable high-speed connection and have not experienced any hard disk problems that I'm aware of.
I have tried trashing the username/application support/iWeb/Domain file and letting iWeb build a new Domain file — to no avail. I've quit and rebooted — to no avail. I've run Disk Utility — to no avail.
Suggestions? I'm at wit's end!

Thanks, James, for your always helpful replies and information.
Paul, here are two things I tried with some success. I deleted new blog material — those which hadn't published — and added, then published, each new blog one at a time. Somewhere along the line, one of the new blogs apparently corrupted the ability to publish all of them at once. Also, I launched iWeb, put the Domain file (username/application support/iWeb/Domain) in the trash then published. When prompted to save the new Domain file, I chose the folder where the old one resided. Subsequent publishes have gone a bit smoother.
Still, one wishes iWeb were easier and more reliable for updates.

How can I upload my iWeb site to 2 different domain addresses?

I have two different domain names, but I want to publish one iWeb site to both addresses.
I can't work out how to do it, I was thinking to duplicate the whole site but using the other address. Then I would have to make indiviual changes to both sites when updating content etc.
There must be an easier way to do this, I am missing something?

Your info says you use iWeb 08.
That means you publish to a folder.
If so, iWeb is not involved. You decide what to do with the published files on the desktop.
With iWeb 09 you only have one FTP address. To publish to another server you have to change the publish info.
But everytime you do that, iWeb will publish the entire site.
You can't have both. iWeb was not meant for that.
Anyway, you provided the solution yourself : duplicate websites for each server.
There's actually no need to make the changes in each site.
Make changes in one site, and duplicate the page to the other site.
Then publish.

With Safari, No search results in password protected iWeb site on MobileMe

Hi,
I'm publishing my iWeb site to my ME.COM account.
I have the site password protected as offered in iWeb.
But when the site is password protected and I'm accessing the site with Safari the search with the search field in the site does not produce any results.
Only the message:
"Your search did not produce any results."
If I use FireFox everything works fine and the search provides the expected results.
Looks like there is a bug in Safari.
Thanks and Regards,
JO

ok, is working, now.

Trying to publish a new iWeb site to mobileme

My son is part of a family account I have and he is experimenting with creating a blog using iweb
Is publisihing on Mobileme still supported?
We are trying to publish but it's selling us to sign in (and we are signed in) and can't progress further
I know that no future for IWeb publishing to MobileMe has been announced but is creating a new blog for an existing member of a family pack still supported?
Thanks in advance
James

Yes, if you already have a MobileMe account, then you can publish until June next year.
The Family Pack has different log in accounts, so just log out and then log in again.

Updating An Existing iWeb Site?

So, i have a great site, and I'm scratching my head as to figure out how to update my site using iWeb without REPUBLISHING the entire site again. I've searched all throughout iWeb Help but I cannot seem to find anything useful.
Help Anyone?

That option does not exist in either iWeb 08 or 09. In 08 it was either Publish All to MobileMe or Publish to MobileMe. The Publish option would just publish updated pages rather than the whole site.
In iWeb 09 the option that exists is ftp to MobileMe, ftp to server or send to a folder. I believe that if using 09, if any updates are made, just the changed pages are uploaded instead of the whole site automatically, to MobileMe anyway.

Search option missing from iWeb site after MobileMe transition

I'm assuming this is a residual bug from the transition to MobleMe, but I've just noticed that my site published with iWeb is missing the Search box on the home page. Just curious if anyone else has had this, or anyone has found a fix.
Tried republishing the site, but still no joy. Also tried viewing the site via the new MobleMe address as well (as opposed to old .Mac address), and it's missing there too.
Bueller? Anyone?

Strange, my friend on the latest Firefox could not see the search bar, but when I asked her to load into Safari, the webpage loaded up fine (on a Powerbook). I then tried to load up the page on Safari with my Powerbook, but no dice.
I then booted up into Windows XP and tried viewing my webpage via IE 7, Firefox 3 AND Safari, and the search bar STILL does not show up. The search bar is not limited to Mac OS X and Safari (on a Mac) right?

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!

Moving iweb site from mobileme account...

Our hard drive failed last night. Therefore our site is also gone. I know you can save the files from one computer and transfer to another to edit your site. Is there ANY way that it can be saved from the mobileme and then transferred to another computer with iweb?

Yes, we took it to two different people this morning. Hard drive "clicking" = very bad! We have to hire a professional drive saver to get anything back. We'll contact Apple (again). It is under warranty, but once we send it in to them they take the old hard drive and will not retrieve any files. We have to retrieve the files first. Thanks for the help. I kind of knew what the answer would be- but thought I would ask in case there was some magical trick!
