Stilllllll....... publish error from iWeb

i still getting publish error from iWeb.
Is apple fix this problem yet or they just ignoring it or dont know how to fix the problem?
anyways this is the error msg im getting everytime i click publish "An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/"
i read almost all the discussions here about error on publishing to iWeb and it seems everyone have the same problem and no one can fix it.
hit me back if they fix the problem already.

iWeb '08 publishes to the < Sites > folder.
iWeb '06 publishes to the < iWeb > folder.
If you are using iWeb '08 you have the wrong file path.

  • PUBLISH ERROR in iWeb

    Hello. I just started using iWeb '08 2.0.2 a couple of weeks ago, and all was going well until...
    Now whenever I publish, I get an error message "Publish Error, an error occurred while publishing file ... Try publishing again later."
    Here's what I've done, based on advice in this message board:
    1) Tried again later. Error still happens.
    2) Publish All to .Mac. It took a long time, but still the same result in the end.
    3) Publish to a folder. I tried the entire site in the local folder, and it works fine. Then I manually copied the folders to the iDisk folder. (That copy was painfully slow, several hours!)
    Once copied to the iDisk, the website does not work properly. Specifically, the photo albums no longer appear on the photo pages. Viewing the page source of the photo pages when browsing on line, I see that all the java code is missing, whereas it is still there when I browse the version on my local disk from the "Folder" publish.
    Anyway, the website is now a bit crippled, and I can't really invest more time in it since the program is so buggy. Can anyone help?
    Many thanks.

    I've discovered something weird that I wonder if it has anything to do with not being able to publish. Since I upgraded to iLife 08 when I click "visit site" I get a web page that says the site doesn't exist. Yet when I go to my bookmark that I have for my site it shows up. The addresses are different. The address that iWeb is trying to go to is http://web.mac.com/username/site/page.html. My actual site address is: http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/site/page.html.
    Is iWeb somehow confused? I did at one time copy off iWeb and delete the site of my iDisk and tried to publish all, but that didn't work, so I copied the site back to my iDisk.

  • Constantly getting publishing errors in iWeb

    Has any one else experienced publishing errors when trying to publish to your ,mac account?

    Four things could be going on, but it's fixable.
    first.. make sure that your screen saver, and energy saver are turned off in your system preferences. iWeb had trouble with this in it's first version, but since the update it's supposed to be fixed, but I'd still do it.
    second, it's been my experience that iweb is affected by bandwidth issues while uploading. If you're using your browser, uploading or downloading anything else... you'll get the error message and that one file couldn't upload. Make sure that when you click on the publish button you walk away from the computer and don't use it. This appears to be a bigger problem for us G4 users than the G5 folks. Also, it's a memory hog, so seriously, when you publish turn everything else off except your computer and iWeb and walk away. Seems to work for me.
    Third... make sure your idisk is NOT loaded onto your desktop. If it starts refreshing and files are getting put there while you're uploading, iWeb will give you the dreaded error message.
    Finally, just keep republishing. iWeb seems to bog down when you publish sometimes. I re-uploaded my entire website last night, including 7 video podcasts and numerous other blogs that have audio and video in them. I had to publish and publish and publish.... it took four tries, but it finally finished. It seems that it gets farther and farther along each time. Anyway... it works.
    Hope this helps.

  • Please Apple...we're very tired of "Publish Error" on iWeb

    Over the past two days, we've all grown very tired of "PUBLISH ERROR: Mac account credentials validation failed for account."
    Is there a reason for the problem you could perhaps share with us? Are you applying all possible resources to correcting the problem immediately? Many people are depending on this service to work correctly.

  • Sudden publishing error on iWeb 06

    I have updated my site since MobileMe kicked in, no problem. Now I'm getting this Publishing Error since I upgraded to 10.4.11:
    "Can’t create the file “shapeimage3_link0.png.” The disk may be damaged, full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
    I'm lost here...

    Deborah ~ Your Public Profile settings in this thread imply you have downgraded from Mac OS X (10.4.11) to Mac OS X (10.4.7). On a Mac, MobileMe requires the latest versions of Mac OS X 10.5 or Mac OS X 10.4.11 (use Software Update to update to the latest versions). See this _.Mac to MobileMe transition FAQ_. And if you're not on the latest version of iWeb 1.x, Software Update should offer you its latest update also.
    After updating to 10.4.11 (again!) and the latest iWeb 1.x, you may still see references to .Mac — particularly in System Preferences. According to the FAQ above, this is normal for Mac OS X 10.4.11. You can continue to use .Mac preferences.

    Will it automatically publish to MobileMe since .Mac is now gone?
    Yes — because .Mac doesn't exist to publish to. (Although MobileMe could well be on the same physical servers as .Mac was on.)
    Deborah Zari wrote:
    At some point I need to upgrade to '08, but I'll need to find complete, clear instructions on how to go about it.
    Once you've installed iWeb '08 and opened it, you'll be invited to make your existing site (domain file) compatible with it. From there on, the short conversion process is automatic. You may find some differences in how your site looks in iWeb '08 (see here and here). If so, if you've made a backup copy of iWeb's key domain file and iWeb '06, you can continue to use them until you have resolved the issues with iWeb '08. And you'll want to preserve website comments when upgrading from iWeb 1.x to 2.0 — see here.

    ...then if your internal HD fails, you re-boot with the Option key held down. Your Mac will start into Startup Manager, where you can use the arrow keys to select a Mac OS X volume to start from, i.e. your bootable clone from SuperDuper!. Besides the advantage of not losing any valuable data, you can continue working and use Disk Utility app in Applications > Utilities to diagnose the problem.

  • Publishing Errors in IWeb 1.1.1

    I recently installed iWeb for the first time. I published my first site with little or no problems, a few days later I decided to add pages. Everytime I tried to publish to .mac I got an Unknown Publishing error. I have trawled the forums and this problem seemed to be an issue for 1.1 with the fix to update to 1.1.1. As I am already on 1.1.1 I am unsure what else I can do. I even deleted the saved site on my Powerbook and tried to publish a single blank page (to discount fonts, images etc.) that too gave me the same error. I have logged a support call with Apple but as yet have not received a response...........any suggestions?

    Well, there's not really an answer to your problem. So many people here have described some kind of error or another it's hard to narrow things down to one cause. But there are a couple of things that you can try. See if any of these steps helps you out...
    1. Delete the iWeb preferences file called "com.apple.iWeb.plist" inside the .../Users/Library/Preferences/... folder.
    2. Delete the iLife Media Browser preferences file called "com.apple.iLifeMediaBrowser.plist" inside the .../Library/Preferences/... folder.
    3. Delete the iWeb application. Reinstall from the original iLife'06 DVD or your recovery disks. Update directly to iWeb 1.1.1 using Software Update.
    4. Repair your disk permissions using Disk Utility
    5. Restart your computer and try to publish before launching any other applications.
    6. Try a different internet connection.
    Definitely backup your Domain file before doing anything drastic. This one file contains all the info iWeb needs to know about your websites so that you can continue to edit them in iWeb. So don't lose this file!
    If you have found any of this information to be useful to you, please take the time to provide me with feedback by marking my reply as "solved" or "helpful" using those little buttons that you see in the title bar of this reply. I'd really appreciate it!

  • How can I solve this publishing error in iWeb?

    Suddenly, when I try to publish in iWeb, I get the following error message:
    Publish error:
    Can't create the file "site/home.html." The disk may be damaged or full, or you must not have sufficient access privileges
    Well, I have a Mac Pro tower, loaded with plenty of space and my disk definitely isn't damaged. Go Daddy (my host) first told me it might be a firewall problem and to contact my internet provider, which I did. But they told me there were no outgoing firewalls. So I went back to go Daddy, who reset all my permissions, but I still got the same iWeb message listed above when I tried to publish. Go Daddy was able upload my files at their end as a test, which means the problem is right here with my iWeb.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Publish error on iweb 3.0.1

    I am having trouble publishing to my mobileme domain. I keep getting the +publish error, unknown error+ message. I recently upgraded to snow leopard. Anyone know what is causing the problem. I've deleted my domain and created it twice already.

    Welcome to the discussions. This Apple doc mentions that error:

  • Unknown publishing error in iWeb

    what does "content" refer to in the below sentence???
    "content on a specific webpage or in the master domain file of your website may be preventing a successful publish"

    Kelly ~ Welcome to the discussions. "Content" in that context probably means images, text, videos or other files. Presumably you are quoting from this Apple doc:
    _MobileMe: Troubleshooting iWeb publishing issues_
    ...In your iWeb site, do you have an unusually large file or one in an unusual format?

  • How to publish website from iWeb ?

    Hi Apple Geniuses
    I have downloaded Server 2.1.1 thought I would be able to publish my website after losing MobileMe hosting. I would love to publish it again but the process with Server seems to be more complicated, not to say...less straight forward. I have tried some couple of thing but unsuccessfully.
    Would anyone of you recommend the step to follow using Server software only (and not recommending any third party website please) to enable the publishing of my website. Alternatively , does anyone would recommend tutorial on how to use Server to publish website.
    To all of you, in advance, Thank you.
    Fred

    Hi Mark
    I grately appreciate your support and the first couple of steps were easy to follow. However , I'm quite puzzled with the last paragraph in regard to DNS, DynIP, CNAME...
    When I have allocated the folder , it did change the TCP from 80 to 443 and I manually reset it to 80...is that where you told to direct the TCP to?
    Here is a snap shot of my setting
    Let me know if I'm going the right route thank you.

  • Error Publishing from iweb 09 - Server or iweb problems??

    I upgraded from iweb 08 (I had no issues) to iweb 09, and I have publishing errors more than half the time. Are the mobileme servers having problems, or is there a hack in the iweb software?
    This is a big problem because I have 20 Gb of pages with video that I need to re-publish. It is bad enough that I will be tying my network up for 2 weeks, but that I often don't make progress.
    The message is "Error connecting to mobileme, check network.. .." The problem is that it uploads for an hour or so before it stops.. I am double checking to see if my routing is causing the problem, but I don't think so..
    Is Apple working on this? Are there numerous people who are now stuck re-publishing their sites and the servers are getting beat up? Does anyone know how to diagnose this type of problem?

    Finally i solved the issue of Publishing Error in iWeb 09 with MobileMe.
    Procedure which i followed and might also help you guys.
    Lets say your default site name is XYZ then create a new site e.g. ABC.
    Thereafter dragged all pages from default site XYZ to new site ABC ONE BY ONE.
    *In the preference folder delete any PLIST files related to iWeb (i had two files in my folder).*
    *Once you drag all pages from your default site to new site there after just make a new blank page and publish the site.*
    Then start dragging first one page from new site ABC and publish one page. There after repeat all pages one by one and publish after every page you drag from new site ABC to default site XYZ.
    Once you finish then take a backup in time machine of the domain.
    There after start your blog page then publish again then start photos album page, publish again then your movie page, publish again etc because these are the pages which were mostly creating errors.
    After you complete the final page and publish remove the blank page and publish again.
    I spent 3 days with the same problem and finally i could finish by this method in few hours.

  • Publication of photos from iweb to mobile me produce an error

    I am no longer able to publish photos from iweb to my mobile me site
    The process starts well; but some minutes after, it stops at a file (not always the same) as if the time was up or the size too large (I have plenty of room in Mobile me).
    It has worked some months ago for the first set of photos ...
    thanks for you help

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
    1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
    2 - login with a bogus username and password. This clears the caches.
    3 - login with your correct username and password.
    4 - launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
    3 - reboot.
    4 - launch iWeb and see if you can publish.
    If that doesn't help:
    5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
    7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    9 - launch iWeb and try again.

  • How do I upgrade from iWeb 2.0.4 to iWeb 3?  I don't see it on the app store.

    I've looked everywhere -- how do I go from iWeb '08 to a newer version?

    It is now apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, is no longer supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    All of these issues can be solved with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the boxed iLife 11 at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

  • Publish Error whilst publishing to .Mac from iWeb

    Hello.
    I have suddenly started getting an error "Publish Error. An error occured whilst publishing file xxx" whilst trying to publish my website from within iWeb.
    I have the latest version of iWeb (1.1.2). It used to work OK and I have made no recent changes other than to add a new photograph page. I have plenty of free space on .Mac.
    I have tried the following:
    - Publishing to Folder (this works fine)
    - Deleting the offending file. I then get the error on another file.
    - Deleting the domain file and the com.apple.iweb.plist files in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb and ~/Library/Preferences. I then tried uploading a default site template and got the same error.
    - Following the steps on http://karreth.com/iweb/22070571-B241-4C09-840B-288E0EC491F6.html. Same error.
    - Creating a new user account and publishing a default iWeb template. Same error.
    - Manually deleting all site and rss content from iDisk using Finder, then Publish All to .Mac. Same error.
    So, it seems that the error is not related to my web content, nor is it related to my iWeb configuration files. I can connect to my iDisk using Finder without problems and browse the contents, so it is not an issue with .Mac either.
    How can I fix this? The error message is useless and I can't find any more detail in the console logs.
    Thanks,
    Paul

  • I upgraded from iWeb '06 to iWeb '09-now I can't publish to a folder

    I'm having 2 issues after upgrading from a powerbook G4 running Tiger with iWeb '06 to a macbook pro running Snow Leopard with iWeb '09. I migrated my website created with iWeb '06 over to iWeb '09 and I'm having 2 issues.
    1. Every page in the website brings up a window that says "The following errors occurred while trying to open this document: Type: Substituted Font; Description: The font "Arial-BoldMS" was substituted for..."
    Then it says "To include missing fonts, add them to your fonts folder, then quit and reopen iWeb."
    This happens every time I open iWeb, even after I click "Continue" in the dialogue box. Where can I find the font that is being replaced--it doesn't list it in the dialogue window. And how can I download it to add to my fonts folder?
    2. When I try to "Publish Entire Site" or "Publish Site Changes," a dialogue window pops up saying "Publish Error: Can't create the file "index.html." The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
    I am the administrator user, so that's not the issue. I have over 300 GBs of free disk space, so that's not the issue. The disk is not damaged because everything else is working just fine.
    I am not familiar with the way iWeb '09 publishes. In iWeb '06, when I selected "Publish to a folder" from the File drop down window, it brought me to a screen in order to select a folder to which to publish. That feature is gone in iWeb '09, with the "Publish entire site" and "Publish site changes" taking its place, but I don't see where it has options to configure FTP or even input where you want your site to go and what domain name it is. How do I direct iWeb to publish the site to a folder or upload it to my Godaddy.com web host?
    Thanks for your help.

    For the font problems, try the "Safe Mode" suggestion in this old thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1956989&start=20
    ...Found by doing THIS. Also see this Apple doc:
