Uploading iweb to godaddy

Hey
Ok I wondered if someone could help me please, I'm trying to upload my iweb site to my host godaddy which is also where i got my domain name from I used fetch to upload files and they all apear to be in my file manager on godaddy but whenever i go to my URL www.laurabuckingham.com all i get is
Not Found
The requested URL /Welcome.html was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.laurabuckingham.com Port 80
I emailed godaddy and eventually i got somewhere but still didn't work then i got this email yesterday from them saying.....
You would normally have your script and coding put together with the proper file names and paths prior to uploading the site through the file manager. Once you have uploaded the files to the file manager it would not be as easy to update the coding although it is possible. Please note we do not provide assistance with the coding of the site. At this time your files are uploaded but it appears the index.html file is set to redirect to Welcome.html which does not exist.
Does anyone know what i have to do to resolve this issue as I'm not technology minded enough to understand that and all it is doing is frustrating me as it looks like I've wasted money with godaddy
Can please someone help me please?
P.S I'm new to this and think i just posted this as a reply but it is actually a question!

StatCounter is a very good free counter. How to add it to an web page is discussed in Old Toad's Tutorials #12 and 13.
This demo page has an HTML Snippet counter (at the top) and this page has a post publication edit counter. The post publication edit method lets the user determine the font, style, size and color of the text based counter. The snippet based counter must be configured at the StatCounter site and has limited options.

Is there any way to upload iWeb files updates only with a 3rd party ftp program to a new hoster, e.g. Godaddy? I see no posts newer than 2007

Video-iweb-fetch-godaddy. Videos on site play on PC, not on Mac. Ideas?????

I have created a website with video in Iweb. I used Fetch to upload it to godaddy. The site, including videos work flawlessly when viewing from a PC. When viewing from a Mac, the entire site works however the videos will not play. You can see the video window and what appears to be the progress bar indicating that the video is loading. When you hit the play button...nothing. In fact the entire player interface fails to function. I am not able to operate the sound button, the menu button, etc.
Does anyone have any ideas.

UPDATE
OK I have discovered that it is purely the interface with the player. I was able to get the videos to play & pause on my Mac by double clicking right on the player screen. Once playing, I was also able to use right and left (home & end) buttons to frame by frame.
I am going to need to get this interface working though.
Any insight from anyone?

IWeb and GoDaddy Hosting of Multiple Sites

GoDaddy users: I have the solution. I have 8 sites all hosted from one host account.
The key is you must have a separate FTP login for each website. In the past I would just use the root. Now, each site has its own.
Examples:
iWeb document name:memorialslive
Site Name: meorialslive
Server address: studiobuzz.biz
User name: memorialslive
Directory/Path: BLANK
URL://www.memorialslive.com
=================
iWeb document name:ministrieslive
Site Name: ministrieslive
Server address: studiobuzz.biz
User name: ministrieslive
Directory/Path: BLANK
URL://www.ministrieslive.com
Etc.
What is also great is that the visit button now works too.
All is good. Apple is once again vindicated.

This is the answer to those of you having troubles with FTP uploads to your GoDaddy web host and maybe others.

Need a fix for Muse upload problems to GoDaddy???? I found one!

GoDaddy now has a new cpanel named "Plesk". In that panel you will find File Manager. (I use the Windows version). In the left panel of File Manager, you will see the root directory and all of its subfolders. When you click on any of these folders, you will see their contents in the right panel. You will also see a folder labelled "httpdocs". This is the default folder that is set up in GoDaddy to be your "home" folder. So, to fix your upload problems, do these steps:
1. Click on the httpdocs folder to see it open in the right panel. In the toolbar above the right panel, you will see a green plus sign with the word "New". Click on this drop-down menu.
2. Choose "directory"
3. Type in the name of one of the folders that your site will need, e.g. images, css, assets, scripts, etc. This basically creates a subfolder within the httpdocs folder, right? (There is a way to see how your Muse site sets up these folders prior to publish or upload. You do this by choosing "Export as HTML" in the File menu of Muse, creating a folder on your desktop (or wherever) for the HTML export, then inspecting its contents after your save it.)
4. Continue to create all the subfolders within httpdocs that you will need. Unfortunately, you have to do this one folder at a time.
5. After you have them set up, begin the process of uploading your site, like this:
6. In the File menu in Muse, you'll of course see "Upload to FTP Host ...". Click on it.
7. A dialog box will open. In the top text field, type in your website name ... you must use www. with your entry
8. In the "FTP Host" field, type in your domain name again like this ... "ftp.yourdomain.com" ... NO FORWARD SLASHES!!! (even if you find instructions to the contrary, like in Filezilla) (Also, your domain might be a .org or .net, instead of a .com)
9. In the "Host directory" field, YOU MUST ENTER "httpdocs"!!!! Despite what you learn, DO NOT LEAVE THIS FIELD BLANK!!!
10. Then enter your GoDaddy username and password. (If you set up a different username for your GoDaddy account and your Plesk account, like I did, then use your Plesk username and password.)
11. Click on "Upload: All Files"
The next few steps are tedious, but necessary to keep your site organized on GoDaddy and to keep from confusing things. You can probably get away with it, but, if your site doesn't load properly in a browser after doing the above steps, you'll need to click on each folder in the root directory that you copied as a subfolder in the "httpdocs" folder and delete the files. For example, in the left panel of File Manager, you'll see the root directory. Click on the "images" folder. If there are any images that you need for your site in that folder, delete them. Remember ... you've already copied them over to the images subfolder in httpdocs during your last upload described in the instructions above. If you don't trust that you can delete them, click on the "httpdocs" folder, then click on the "images" folder and check the files. Same files, right? So, go ahead and delete the site files that you find in the appropriate folders in the root directory, making sure that you don't delete the ones that are NOT duplicated within the "httpdocs" folder. Also remember that your .html pages will not require a subfolder to be set up in the "httpsdocs" folder. They can just sit there, looking pretty. But you will have to delete them from the root directory to keep things tidy. Just click on the folder icon next to "root directory", and you'll see those html pages in the right panel. Again, delete them.
REMEMBER: To keep your Muse uploads to your GoDaddy site error free, you must ALWAYS make sure that "httpdocs" appears in the "Host directory" field in the "Upload to FTP Host ..." dialog box in Muse. And all files and folders that your site needs MUST go in the "httpdocs" folder in the root directory of your site in GoDaddy's File Manager (now found in your Plesk Panel).
I hope this wasn't too confusing. If so, call GoDaddy. I called them with this fix and they are using it in their phone support.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was going out of my mind. And GoDaddy was no help (although they're usually really good.) I put all the folders in "httpdocs" and the website worked perfectly!

Suggest alternatives to IWeb and GoDaddy?

Hello - As we are all aware there are limits to IWeb and GoDaddy. I'm a Macer in a PC world (this is changing but slowly). My PC pals have a difficult time viewing my website/blog and I want to upgrade my site so my pictures can load and fonts translate to PC. I do not sell anything it's just a site for friends and family but I would like to upgrade the look, enhance the capability with PC and Google and am willing to spend a bit of cash. I've heard of Dreamscape? Does anyone have other suggestions? I do the complete ease of use of IWeb despite some of the drawbacks. Thank you. Tami
www.curioustidbits.com is my blog.

Hi Tamis,
You have asked several questions in your post. I will try to answer each one. I can see from your website that you like the free form style possible with iWeb. I have to caution you that achieving maximum compatibility with all browsers, especially Internet Explorer comes with a price.
There are a limited number of fonts that are considered web safe. A quick search in wiki will give you the list. Using any other fonts will risk problems with certain browsers. If you want to use a special font in a limited way, for example a title, convert it to an image first then place it into iWeb. The price you will pay if you over use this method is a much slower download time for your pages.
iWeb uses a number of features such as shadows and reflections that can cause problems with certain bowsers. I have found that it is best to prep your images to the display size needed and save them as jpegs. The results are quite predictable with this approach.
Choosing an alternative to iWeb will require a change in your approach to web design, a trade off you may not be willing to make. To get a feel for an alternative check out Rapid Weaver. I have used both and they each have their pros and cons. Rapid Weaver will force you into a template design. If you decide on Rapid Weaver there are two plugins that add some of the simplicity of iWeb, Stacks & Blocks. You probably will only need one of these.
Here is a website created with Rapid Weaver, www.quilts4u.com
Good luck with your website

Is there a way to only upload iWeb changes? I am not using MobileMe.

Is there a way to only upload iWeb changes? I am not using MobileMe.

One method you can use, along with optimizing your website for increased loading efficiency in browsers, is to publsh to a folder on your hard drive and use Web Site Maestro to optimize and upload only the new or modified files with its Smart Handling feature.
If you publish to a folder you can use the synchronizing feature of Cyberduck, help/en/howto/sync – Cyberduck, to upload only those new or changed files.

Uploading iWeb, question

Can i only upload iWeb to mobileme or can i upload it to any web hosting service?
thanks

You can upload it to any web hosting service. See this Apple doc:

Upload Iweb pages with FCKeditor

Hi,

can i upload html , css and Js using editors like FCKeditor?
Never heard of that one. Most people upload iweb pages with a standard ftp client or a web editor which has an ftp app built in.

Uploading iWeb site to godaddy host

Greetings,
I am trying to publish one of my iWeb generate sites to a godaddy account. When I publish to a folder it publishes all of my sites to the folder - I am just interested in this one site. So I move that site folder out of the published folder and attempt to upload it and haven't had any success.
Also, I have tried several FTP clients, fetch, filezilla, fireftp and the go daddy on line ftp client(limited to 4 mg which is okay right now).
I can't upload anything and can't figure out where my problem is - these clients seem fairly straight forward.
Thanks

Thanks for the responses. I think my problem is related to the cable modem. I had some problems with my vonage VOIP and the vonage tech person said there was an issue with that particular modem. Comcast says there are no problems on their end but I am suspicious. Anyway, I don't seem to have any other issues. I e-mailed my published files to my home computer also with comcast and was able to upload the files through fireftp first try. I then had to take/move the pages out of the folder using fireftp and place them in the general part of the HTML godaddy folder - up and running.
How do I do or track down these issues with my cable modem at my office(btw 1 computer and two voip lines). I've tried running the ethernet directly to the computer bypassing the voip stuff with no joy.
Thanks for the help

Upload iWeb website to GoDaddy FTP hosting server

I purchased a domain (huaichuanrui.co.uk) and web hosting from GoDaddy. I created a website in iWeb '09 (version 3) and clicked on the site name in the left hand sidebar. I filled in all the FTP server information - in the server address box, I've tried ftp.huaichuanrui.co.uk, huaichuanrui.co.uk, http://huaichuanrui.co.uk, the IP address, ftp://huaichuanrui.co.uk, everything. I've typed the username and password for my hosting account correctly. I left the Directory/Path field empty like most people recommend, but I've also tried it with the folder location on my Mac (/Huaichuan_Rui), /Huaichuan_Rui/, all sorts. I left Protocol as FTP and Port as 21. Still, no luck. Testing keeps failing.
I've also tried uploading the site folder to the GoDaddy hosting control panel thing where it says "Upload Files". It all uploaded, but still nothing. The homepage preview is shown as "pageok". Now when I visit my site, it says "Coming Soon - Future home of something quite cool".
No luck at all in publishing my iWeb website to GoDaddy's FTP hosting server.
Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this issue? Thank you.

Forum discrepancy: how to FTP iWeb to Godaddy once and for all!

I've been lurking on the forum and getting all sorts of good advice. Thank you everyone who posts here!
However, I've noticed a discrepancy about FTP'ing to Godaddy with authoritative advice-givers on both sides of the issue.
Here's the issue:
When you publish to a folder in iWeb, iWeb generates two top level documents: an index.html file and a folder named Site (by default, or whatever you may have renamed it in iWeb as your "site."). The index.html file also appears to be contained inside the Site folder along with all the other docs pertaining to your website.
The question is:
Which is better, to FTP both documents to the server, the index.html file and the Site folder, OR just the contents of the Site folder (and ignore the top level index.html file)?
There are multiple recommendations in this forum for both answers.
Here's one saying FTP both:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7986754&#7986754
Here's one saying FTP the contents of the folder only:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8050644&#8050644
If I understand it correctly, a benefit of uploading both is proper RSS notification. Is this correct and how important is this? Are there any other benefits or is this the only one?
On the other hand, the benefit of uploading the content of the Site folder only is that the resulting URLs do not include the word "Site" (or whatever you've substituted for it), following your domain name, and before your page names.
In my opinion, the website looks more professional and clean without the word "site" following the domain name and before the page name, so I'd therefore rather upload the contents of the Site folder and not the Site folder + the index.html document.
So... if I continue doing it this way, is there any serious drawback, or would this be the way to get the most professional-looking results hosting an iWeb site on Godaddy?

Ethmoid wrote:
My answer to this question is that I always advise people to upload the whole site folder, plus the separate index.html file. If you start loading individual pages from the folder, you risk messing the site structure up and your site not working at all. I tried this with my own site at one time and it would not display correctly until I uploaded the whole site folder and then it worked perfectly.
Thanks for the response.
Is there any technical reason why loading the complete contents of the folder produced by iWeb '08 would imperil the site structure, or is this advice based on your one experience? My own experience is no problems at all uploading the complete contents of the main folder to Godaddy. So... has anyone else experienced problems?
I always say that it is not the url of a site that makes it professional or not, it is the content and the design. When I look at a site, I always look at the content and the design and then decide, I don't immediately look at the url. If you really don't like the word site, then change your site name to something more applicable to your site. I named mine the first 3 letters of the title and it looks a whole lot better than site and I am happy with it.
Remember that old adage never judge a book by its cover, well the same applies here, never judge a web site by its url!!
Arguably a website is the "book cover" for whatever company, organization, or person it is about. However, I don't want to derail the topic into a discussion of whether a URL matters. For those for whom it matters, it matters, and for those for whom it doesn't, it doesn't!
For me, it matters not because I care, but because I anticipate some of my visitors will care. So if I can serve up a professional-looking URL by uploading the contents of the folder rather than the folder itself, are there any compelling reasons, aside from not pandering to the superficiality of humanity, for doing it any other way?

IWeb and GoDaddy FTP

Ok so I have an iWeb site already that I use with MobileMe. Now I want to add another site using godaddy ftp. So I follow the instructions that godaddy gives enter my username, password, etc and test the connection. It fails every time. I really do not know why it is not working or what is wrong. Should I call godaddy? or what.
Thanks,
Jordan

Firstly, do you have a hosting account set up with Godaddy? If not, then it won't work.
Also, iWeb 09 built ftp is notorious for not being that reliable. I would suggest that you download either Cyberduck or Transmit for free and use either of these to upload your other site.
You also should have been given a username and password when you set up your hosting account with Godaddy - if nothing works then you need to contract them, but try Cyberduck or Transmit first.

Iweb/fetch/godaddy hosting-not loading

Need help. I designed my website on iweb and bought hosting thru godaddy, used fetch for FTP--tried to load the site and it wouldn't appear when I went to my site. I asked godaddy support for help. Here's how they answered:
Currently your index.html page is loading, but the code on this page is redirecting to remakeyourplace.com/REMAKE YOUR PLACE.html. You will need to add this page, or change the coding on your site. Unfortunately, we do not provide technical support with third-party scripting issues. You may wish to consult with a community forum online or do a search on your favorite search engine as other users may have encountered a similar problem in the past and may offer helpful solutions.We thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Can someone tell me in simple terms how to solve this problem? Obviously I have no idea what I'm doing, I just want to get my website up and running.I could really use the help. thx

"put" (the term fetch uses for loading) the entire folder to my website
That does not sound correct. The instructions tell you to upload two items: the folder which has the same name as you gave your site inside the iweb app, plus the index.html file which iWeb creates alongside that folder. The folder also has an index.html inside it, and that is fine, but in your server space you must be able to see two separate items, one file called index.html and one folder with the name you gave your site.
To avoid possible confusion, try publishing to your desktop, so you can clearly see the index.html file and folder which iWeb creates and which both need to be uploaded.

Uploading iweb site to path within a directory

I need to upload my website to a certain path within a larger directory. My iweb site is not the main site. The main site though uses php and well iweb doesn't. Is it still possible to upload my iweb site to a path in this directory and it function correctly? If so, how would I go about doing this?

Okay, so firstly, you CAN't have an iWeb account - iWeb is an application that is on your Mac and you can use it whatever if it is there - there is no account that is needed.
You will not now be able to get a MobileMe account if you don't already have one, as they are not taking any more subscriptions as it will not be here from June next year, iCloud having replaced it.
You say that you have a "url" or do you mean domain name from GoDaddy? If you do, then to be able to upload a website you also need to purchase a hosting account from them.
Not having a hosting account would be one very good reason why you would be getting the error messages' cannot connect to server' - this is because you have no server/host to connect to because you don't have a hosting account.
Go to GoDaddy and purcahse a hosting account from them and you will then be able to upload your site.
