Trying to publish iWeb created pages on a 3rd party webpage server...HELP!!

I recently purchased iLife '06. My questions pretains to iWeb specifically. I have been laboring for hours trying to publish one page that I made to a third party web page server with absolutely no success. I am currently trying to upload my page to freewebs.com via the upload service they offer; would using FTP make a difference? Do you know of a free web page server that works with greater compatibility with iWeb? (i.e. not having to convert .png files to .jpg or .gif, etc.)

Does your provider allow ssh/scp? I'm a UNIX admin, so I typically do all this stuff from a shell or via scripts that I run. But this is very easy, IF they allow scp.
- Save iWeb to a directory (for the sake of this example, I'll say "~/sites"
- Open up a terminal
- Change directory to the sites directory
cd ~/sites
- Run the scp recursively
scp -r * [email protected]
It'll ask you for your password, then it'll transfer all the directories in "sites" recursively (i.e. all the file and directories in each directory).

MobileMe has been discontinued for over 2 years now. You'll need to find a new hosting server for your website.

Publishing IWeb created webpages-wiever problems

Hi, need some help to instruct my network of wievers how to "attach" iweb created pages. Very often they have serious problems wieving the nice photopages I create with iWeb. My friends, family give me feed backs as "can´t see photos only slideshow" among other. Most of them are running Windows PC , but also PowerMac G3. Is their any place to find information about what should be installed at the wievers computer or minimum system demands??

Here's a page that attempts to encourage people to download the appropriate software.....

Publishiing iWeb created pages to other domains

Is there a way to upload iWeb created pages to other domains besides .mac.
Thanks

Thank you both for the replies. I went further into the archives and saw a post about splitting the domain. Does this apply to my problem? http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=552258&tstart=0
I want to take this very slowly as I lost a lot of albums from my Homepage way back when there was a large glitch it the system. I don't want to have to recreate sites so need to be sure of what I am doing, step by step.
Thanks

Configuring the browser window title for an iWeb-created page?

Hello all,
How do you customize the text that appears in the browser window's title for an iWeb-created page? (e.g., at the top of the browser window where it says "Apple - Support - Discussions - etc."). I had assumed that the the name I designated for the page via the Inspector would be used as the browser window title, but instead iWeb is using the first line of text within the page itself.
Thanks!

You can do it with a HTML snippet with the following code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
parent.document.title = "name you want to appear at the top of the window";
</script>
It takes about a second or two to replace the original text as can be seen in this test page.
Put the snippet box off somewhere where it won't overlap on any other element. It is invisible on the web page and in iWeb until you click on it. I had to do a Select All to find it just now to get the code.

How to publish newly created pages

I have completely revamped my website and deleted the old home page and associated pages. How do I publish the new pages? I tried publishing changes but now my website just errors out. There must be a check box somewhere, "publish this page", to prevent unfinished pages from being published, etc. Pardon me, I'm an iWeb novice.

Everything in a Site is published the first time. iWeb doesn't know what unfinished pages are.
Two solutions.
1. Hide the unfinished page from the menubar. Inspector>First icon from the left. The page will be published but your visitors will not see it.
2. Create a second Site and drag the unfinished page there. Do not publish the Site.
There must be a check box somewhere, "publish this page",
It's in the menu: Publish Site. It is assumed without checking a box.

Printing iWeb-created pages on PC's

I recently created a website for my husband, using iWeb. I encountered no problems in creating or publishing the site. I have printed the entire site on my iMac from the Internet using Safari. Pages have printed just as they appear on the net and as I created them. Several different friends that have PC's have tried printing some of the pages. The pages appeared normal on the screen, but the printouts were incomplete. Only the first sheet printed, and in one case that sheet had a menu with slanted print, and in another case the entire page had slanted print. It was unreadable. I don't see what I can do to fix this. Is it a compatibility problem? Can my friends do anything to their print settings to correct the problem? Should I send this question to a different forum?
Thanks --

The reason this is happening is related to how iWeb pages are rendered. Not everything is in the same HTML file. In fact, the style information which is probably responsible for your problem, is located in a separate .css file. I don't think this information is available to the printer when you print the page. Frankly, I am impressed that you are able to get adequate printouts from Safari even!
But as long as you are printing okay from Safari, you could print to a PDF file and then have a link to this PDF on your pages for people who want to print them. Kind of a hassle, I know. This would be the easiest way around the problem, though.
Another way of doing this would be to relocate the CSS information back into the main page HTML files. This requires editing of your pages. Here's a thread from Michael Wong who has done this for some of his pages...

Trying to Publish iWeb via FTP to Go Daddy - Directory Error

All,
I put together a pretty straight forward site in iWeb to advertise my customer guitars. Bought the Linux Hosting package from GoDaddy and tried to publish my site, but it continues to give me the error "Directory / Path" not found, and the Test Connection will never verify.
My website is www.phatguitars.com
If I use CUTE FTP for Mac or FileZilla for Mac I can get right into the site, copy and move files, add directories, delete directories, etc, etc. - so FTP and my account login info is correct and tested. . . . . .
In the directory/path I have tried "/", I created a folder called "iweb" and tried "/iweb". I also tried "phatguitars.com/" - nothing is working. I have seen similiar error's all over the Web in my search for a solution, but I don't find any answers. I have the lateest version of iWeb ( checked my Update today just to be sure).
Help - I want to use iWeb and not some other package like Dreamweaver, etc. that will take more time to learn than I really want to spend on this.
Is it possiable to publish to a FOLDER, and then copy the folder via CUTE FTP? If so, what would I need to rename in that folder so it would load properly on GoDaddy
Thanks for your help !

Publish to a local folder and then upload with your FTP app.
There are two ways to do this. You can upload the folder produced by iWeb and the external index.html file or do it this way...

Most techs don't seem to understand how iWeb creates sites so they end up not being much help.

Unknown validation error when trying to publish Iweb

Im trying to publish my iweb page but it sends me to a mobile me login page. This has never happened since i first set up my mobile me. When I type in my password which is 7 characters then click on the login the password jumps to 12 characters and I get an unknown validation error. Any ideas

This is from the Account page of the MobileMe website. I'm unable to update my website right now and I believe this must be the reason.

Publishing IWeb Created Website in AOL Space

Hi!
I created a website using iWeb. It was very easy to do. However when I tried to publish it on my AOL webspace, it did not work. I uploaded the contents of the desktop folder to my AOL FTP space but when I went to the URL, neither the text not the jpgs displayed properly.
Am I doing anything wrong? Has anyone successfully uploaded an iWeb created website to AOL space?
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

I uploaded the contents of
the desktop folder to my AOL FTP space
How did you do this? I think you must use a real ftp
program and not the AOL uploader, as the latter will
not preserve the structure of your site, which is
required for it to work right.
Like others, I recommend you use another host. AOL
is just a pain.
Hi Tom!
Thank you for your insights.
What is a real FTP program and where does one find it? Also can a real FTP program be used with AOL? I uploaded to my AOL webspace usng the buttons and tools that AOL provides for doing this.Is there any other way?
Thank you for your help.

Creating safe sandbox for 3rd party jars

I'm creating a tool which lets 3rd parties distribute and run their code within my framework. Because I cannot gurauntee the source of various libraries the user decides to run, I cannot prevent malicious code from hacking their systems.
Is there a way for me to limit the capability of the 3rd party classes? I'd like to create a safe sandbox for the classes to play in, but not allow them to read the client's system files, write data outside the sandbox, or otherwise damage the client system.
Can I turn off parts of the VM? If I were to force 3rd parties to inherit from Applet would that limit their use of the client system?

You can extend java.lang.SecurityManager -- the only method you need to override is checkPermission, since all the others thunk to it -- set the SecurityManager using System.setSecurityManager, and run untrusted code in a separate thread only. The Security Manager can check to see if the calling thread is the trusted one; if so, it can grant all permissions, otherwise it can grant only those you want to give.

Cant view iweb created page on a mobile device

i created my page and can view on my computer with no issues but if you try from a mobile device it states it is under construction? Any ideas?
Thanks.

I believe that iWeb uses flash, which is okay on a computer, but you can't get flash on an iPhone, which is why your site would display as under construction.
If you only have one page, then why not re-build it in another application that is actually fully supported and is being regularly updated, which iWeb is not - is has not been sold or supported by Apple for the last 3 years at least and does not use the most up-to-date technology.
Take a look at the other alternates out there such as Rapid Weaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express 7, WebAcappella 4, Flux V and EverWeb.
You can download trials of most to see if you like them before you buy them.

Video on my iWeb created pages

I have tried several different methods/codecs of video loaded onto my site using iWeb. I've tried mp4, wmv, flv and mov. None of which seem to be viewable to anyone not on a Mac. Can someone please tell me why or what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks!

I added the video by dragging it into the page and resizing it to a larger scale. I'm not sure about the people who have been trying to view it and their system capabilities. I do know that some of them are graphic designers and animators and would like to hope that they've got QT installed. But I guess that's kind of my question in a nutshell. Is iWeb taking the video in whichever format I place it, even if it's a wmv or flv, and then turning it into QT? Because that has been what I've assumed but can't figure out why. It does give people the Quicktime question mark even when it was the wmv version.
