Site Won't Publish

I have been having ongoing problems with iWeb. I thought that I had fixed them, by creating a new account on my computer and shifting my domain to that account and useing iWeb there to pubish and edit my page. I just added a photo album and now when I try to publish, it crashes every time.

Many of your page names contain "%20"s, e.g.
http://web.mac.com/captrustywildrice/iWeb/The%20Capt%20Rusty%20Wild%20Rice%20Hom e%20Page/Home.html
...This can cause unpredictable problems; as iWeb's Help viewer states:
"Browsers convert spaces in site names to "%20." To avoid these symbols, use an underscore, hyphen, or some other character instead of a space. Also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.
Other characters aren't recommended for use in website names, including: forward and backward slashes (/ \), brackets ([ ]), tilde (~), exclamation point , question mark (?), "at" sign (@), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), ampersand (&), asterisk (*), colon (:), equal sign (=), comma (,), and double quotation marks ("). Using these characters may result in names with strange numbers in them."
...And this applies not just to page names. Some people have had problems caused by having spaces in the file names of their JPEG or PNG photos.

  • Site won't publish.. keeps opening the mobileme system pref pane.

    when i click publish to .mac the mobileme section of the system prefs pops up asking me to sign in (or renew) even when i click "sign in" the site won't publish. i try to publish again, same cycle begins.

    Where in iWeb do you see ".mac"? ...If you've upgraded to the latest iWeb v.2.0.4, everything should read "MobileMe" — not ".mac."
    Is your MobileMe membership still active — or has it expired?

  • Sites won't publish

    I recently upgraded to Leopard, then had my MacBook (2 GHz Intel Core Duo) hard drive crash. After replacing the hard drive, I copied my backed-up iWeb files onto my new hard drive. I decided to update my iWeb site and republish the site. The application seems to publish the site, and gives me the polite little message that the site has been published. The site titles in the left-hand bar turn blue but when I visit the site, none of the changes have been made. If I quit iWeb and restart the application, the sites appear red as if they were never republished. I rebooted the computer, deleted the library iWeb cache and plist, but it doesn't seem to help. Anybody have any ideas?

    No.  You will just need to log into your MobileMe account separately under System Preferences - iCloud and MobileMe should be there.

  • Site won't publish updates to FTP host after initial successful publish

    Hi,
    I am having trouble publishing updates to my site.  The site is live through an FTP Host and worked successfully the first time. However, when I go in to make changes to the site and click 'Publish to FTP Host' 'All Files', those changes don't take affect on the live site.  I have also cleared my cache and am still having the issue.

    What do you have in Host directory? Keep it blank and re-publish. The Host directory (folder) on the host server is where your site files will be uploaded. Some hosting providers require you to upload your site to a specific folder on their server and others advise you to leave this field blank.
    If the above doesn't help either, please reach out to Muse chat support - http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=muse&topic=signing-in-to-my-account.
    Thanks,

  • Host site won't publish blog entries

    I am fairly new to iweb and have created a site that is hosted outside of iweb. The site was working fine until I added a blog page. It will link to the main blog page, but from there it won't link to the entry pages when I publish it. Anyone know why or how I can fix this? Thanks!

    Please provide your url so someone can see what you are talking about.

  • My iWeb site won't publish

    Figuring I've seen some reasonably nice looking sites published via iWeb, and having all the tools supposedly integrated to incorporate podacasts, movies, etc., AND having been a .Mac/Mobile Me subscriber since 2005, with rather little relative benefit compared to other cloud/hosting services I could have used, I decided to give iWeb and Mobile Me a spin with a real project, something sort of arty. So, fine, I have created a Site, and created decent workflows for a very frequent podcast, and hit the "Publish" button.
    And waited.
    As typically happens with me, I have added a challenge to this mix, in that I have another domain which I would like hosted via MobileMe, so I looked up the directions for the redirect, and dutifully edited the DNS registry for that domain to get aliasing (CNAME: web.me.com.) to work, which according to everything I can see, has. Two days have now passed, and still no site on either the MobileMe address or the aliased domain.
    I believe I have done everything correctly. ANy suggestions as to how I can get my site up and running?
    Thanks in advance!

    Here's how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
    A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
    1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must  the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
    Click to view full size
    2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Site_Name,  or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
    B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
    Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding.  This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site.  This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents.  Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site.  This can be accomplished is three ways.
    1 - don't use the CNAME method.  Just use  URL forwarding .  This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
    2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?   
    In iWeb domainfile 1:
    Create a dummy site : _dummy
    with a blank page.
    Create your working site : Whatever
    Add pages
    Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
    Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
    Check.
    In iWeb domainfile 2:
    Create/Use your CurrentSite.
    Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
    iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
    Check.
    From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
    Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
    3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses  CNAME forwarding.  Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file. 
    The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.  
    Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
    NOTE:  the CNAME method provides a shorter URL:  http://www.Domain_Name.com/Site_Name/Page_Name.  CNAME does not have masking.
    The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:   http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Domain_Name/Page_Name.   With domain name masking that will be shortened to:   http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
    However, with masking visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site.  If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page.  Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.

  • Site won't publish with my own url...

    I have a very simple site i'm trying to post, only 1 page with a qt movie. I have a url from go-daddy and i've already gotten the CNAME figured out thru them etc. I set up the domain name as needed thru mobile me (that seemed to take). I hit publish site from iWeb and it seemed to go well, but i go to my published site, and all it says is: This website is temporarily unavailable, please try again later.
    i think it's on the mobile me side and not a go-daddy issue! But, i can't figure out where to go from here?
    Any thoughts? Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How long has it been between you setting up MMe and GoDaddy for the domain name forwarding and trying to access your site with the domain name? It sometimes takes a day or so before it gets ironed out.
    Can you get to your site using the MMe URL: http://web.me.com/MobileMeAccount_Name/SiteName
    What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
    Happy Holidays

  • New site won't publish

    Someone please help.
    I just fininshed my new site but when I go to publish it it keeps going directly to .Mac infomations screen and says publish your site to >mac and asks "Already a member?". When I click sign in then it goes to another screen that has my account name and password already filled in. (The password there already is longer than my regular password). Under that it says sign up now for the 60 trial. and has a "Learn more" button. I already have a .Mac account so why does this keep happening?

  • My site won't publish

    I just added a few pages to my website. But when I click on the "publish" button, it always give me the message "there was an error...." when it tries to publish one of the new pages. Why can this be? There aren't any large files on them.

    what is the exact error? and try checking this if it solves your problem!

  • IWeb won't Publish Site

    Hi,
    Everything works fine until I add a flash music video or any video to the page then it won't Publish. But if I remove the videos from the page it will Publish. (this is not an embed code but instead a link set up from the hyperlink menu when I click on the "inspector" dialog box.
    Or should I instead use the embed code from my upload site?
    Has this something to do with memory? I followed the advice that was posted on another "help" column to change the memory setting in the MobileMe page for iDisk, but that didn't work either.

  • Site won't finish publishing

    I have multiple websites and I recently separated them into different domain files. Each domain file is in a separate folder and each is named domain. The problem I'm having now is that the sites won't finish publishing. The circle goes around and then stops, not always at the same point. I used to have this problem on occasion but now it's happening the majority of the time. The sites publish to folders without a problem. I'm using the publish all to .mac command.

    Make certain that the site(s) have not actually published.
    Close all other internet-dependent activities, like any browsers that may be running. Discontinue any syncing that may be going on; in fact, turn syncing off and leave it off. Launch your Activity Monitor.app, and from the file menu choose Window/Network. You will see a black box at the bottom of the window.
    Now choose a Domain.sites file from your folder system, launch the Domain and File/Publish all to .Mac. Click on the Activity Monitor window, and observe the Network activity...it is quite possible that regardless of the publish error, the iWeb application is continuing to upload to .Mac. You will see it in the monitor.
    If this doesn't help and the sites are truly not uploading completely, you can always publish to the folder and then manually upload the site. I don't recall ever seeing a report of a publish error using this method. Of course, you lose some .Mac functions when you publish to a folder.

  • IWeb won't Publish site when Podcast is added

    I have two seperate sites on my iWeb account. I've tried publishing the first site with the new podcast I created. It worked fine. Then I tried publishing the second site with the podcast. EVERY time I get an error message that says it was unable to publish. I've gone as far as to export the GB3 podcast as a mono cast instead of a full quality movie. The size is about 15 MB. WHAT CAN I DO!?!
    Is there a way to publish a podcast without using iWeb?
    Why won't iWeb publish my podcast??
    Thanks

    Irish....
    there are two possible solutions to fix this problem if I understand your problem correctly. you have two sites, with podcasts on both that you want published at the ITMS.
    First... in the SITE ORGANIZER in iWeb. Drag the site you want published to the TOP of the SITE ORGANIZER WINDOW. You say you have two sites, iWeb treats the one at top as the master and publishes that one. I'm guessing that the one you want to publish, and are unable to, is in the lower position.
    If you are submitting this new site to the ITMS for the first time, then choose the FILE MENU, then SUBMIT PODCAST TO ITUNES command. Follow the instructions like you did before and you should be good to go.
    If you are submitting a new EPISODE OF AN EXISTING PODCAST (think second podcast episode, or new chapter in a book) then you take care of it this way. This is a post I gave to someone in the podcasting forum to help them with a second podcast they were trying to submit to itunes.
    Publish your site to .Mac (or your server if it's different)... then PING itunes to let them know to go look for new content on your server (or .Mac). You PING iTunes by cutting and pasting the url addy below into safari and clicking return. You'll get an error message, don't worry, it's supposed to happen. About an hour later, maybe a bit longer, your new episode will be available.
    DONT submit your podcast by selecting the "SUBMIT PODCAST TO ITUNES" menu selection again. That command is for your first submission, not your subsequent ones. Think of your podcast as a book. And each episode is a chapter. When you ping iTunes, they go get the whereabouts of the new chapter and make it available for the world to come and read, hear, or watch.
    the PING url is...
    https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=INSERTYOURFE EDIDHERE
    Your feed ID number is in your original email from the itunes folks when they sent you your acceptance email and said that your podcast was now up and running on the ITMS.
    Hope this helps.

  • Won't publish my changes....

    I use iWeb 09, published my site using MobileMe. It worked perfect. BUT now when I have made changes it won't publish my changes and the icons stays red. I tried Publish site, Publish site changes, Publish entire site. I successfully published my website to a folder on my HD. I updated Iweb, signed out of MobileMe, signed in tried again, over and over and over.... nothing works
    Need help!
    Thanks

    Update: It's working now, for the time being. It's my experience that it's been working on and off for this past weekend up to now. I don't know if anyone else was experiencing problems in that time frame.
    I spent that last weekend doing some significant changes to the site, adding a new logo, background and that coverflow animation you see on all the root pages. The site is comprised of 11 pages and 5 blogs, with many entires in each of those 5 blogs. I affected changes to each page, including all the blog entries, and then tried to publish yesterday morning. I think that's when the trouble really started, because I was publishing a high volume of pages at once – MobileMe doesn't seem to like that. This is when I started trying to move the pages to a new site within iWeb, which eventually crashed the program and caused all my early entries in all 5 blogs to get corrupted (that's what I'm calling it at least, because if I clicked on those entries I just got a blank white screen, and if I tried to publish before deleting them I got the "An Unknown Error Occurred" message each time).
    What I'm interested in is your suggestion to use Cyber Duck. I've ran into this suggestion before on these forums and so, yesterday, I downloaded Cyber Duck, but am totally clueless on how to use it. I know nothing about FTP but would like to know if A.) will the site load faster going through an FTP service like Cyber Duck or (the other one I hear about a lot) Web Maestro; and B.) If it will make the site load faster, how complicated is the change over and could someone walk a FTP illiterate person like me through the process. I update the site daily and so I can't complicate the process of publishing too much. I hear Web Maestro has selective publishing, maybe that's the way to go?
    Also, I've disabled comments on my site anyway, so no fear of that.
    Sorry this ran a little long.

  • Some photos won't publish

    i am using the Publish service (very cool!) to export photos to a  specific location on my hard drive. the process is driven by a set of  smart collections, and it all works great.
    however, i have a handful of photos that won't publish -- they are  sitting in the "new photos to publish" or "modified photos to  re-publish" areas and they don't get published when i tell that  collection to publish.
    the publish service exports in JPEGs.
    Some are NEFs, others are JPEGs, one is a PSD.  All of the NEFs and JPEGs are virtual copies. the PSD is the original.
    any ideas what's going on?

    >@LKF: I can get CS3 to open files from LR 2, but it works differently than earlier LR releases. With LR 1.4 when I right clicked to edit in CS3 it gave me a choice of which version of the file to edit. It also paired the .psd file with the original .dng when I finished. Now with LR 2 it doesn't do either. Is this a design feature or is something hosed up.
    Bug. Will be fixed in the next (first) update. For a workaround set Photoshop the be the secondary editor in the preferences and use it. If you are unclear on how to do this check here:

  • IWeb won't publish to .mac

    For the last 2 days, every time I try to publish iWeb to .mac, a box comes up asking for my password. I enter it, but nothing happens.
    I think I may have an iDisk problem or a .mac login problem.
    Someone please help. I need to republish asap!!!!!

    I have encountered the same problems - my site was fine until yesterday when I decided to change it and now it won't publish.
    Let me know if you figure out what happened
    I'm using iWeb 06 and have not upgraded to the new one. I did install some software updates that come in automatically. I wonder if that might be the problem.
    When I try to visit site - I get a download popup and my pages (name only appear on my desktop but they are blank and nothing happens when I click on the icon. Weird - weird - weird
