Uploading web site not made by iweb

My son created a web site in school using HTML code. It has about 6 pages of text and music, plus 2 Quicktime movies. I uploaded it to my iDisc, but I don't know how to publish it to my dotmac account for others to view. Is there a way of doing this? Would I use iWeb somehow? Thanks in advance!

Hmmm, I did exactly as you said, varkgirl and jabberwock. The Portfolio folder has 45 items in it-HTML pages, .mov files, .gif files, etc. I uploaded the entire folder to the SITES folder on my iDisk. I can see all the files when I check the iDisk on dotmac. Then I clicked on HOMEPAGE,scrolled down the left side to ADVANCED. The theme is External HTML. But only the HTML files show up and they don't link to the original files, so I get an error code. I also get a 404 error code when I try homepage.mac.com/username/foldername/pagename.html, substituting my info, of course. Does it sound like I'm doing everything correctly? Thanks for your time and help!

  • Web site not visible in iweb, where did it go?

    I created 2 web sites in iWeb.
    Posted 1 to mobilme.
    Now when i open iweb nothing appears and everything is greyed out in the top menu bar.
    Any idea where it has disappeared to and why i can't see it?
    Please help.

    Try the following;
    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 the domain file will open.
    If that didn't help continue;
    4 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    5 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
    5 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    6 - move your domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    7 - launch iWeb and try again.

  • Gallery web site not found

    I published a 35 photo web gallery I thought successfully, but when I go to the url listed at the top of the photo event folder, I get a web site not found error. The photos did upload to the iDisk in the "sites" folder, but it would apppear no web page was created.. there is a web gallery icon to the right of the photo album name that was uploaded.. I have upgraded my iPhoto with the latest ver via software update.. any thoughts??

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try making some minor change to the gallery and republish. See if that will jump start the online gallery. If that doesn't work, mount the iDisk, go to the Web/Sites folder and delete the contents of the _gallery folder (assuming you only have one gallery). Then republish again.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • HT1338 I am looking to publish a web site I created in iWeb to another hosting provider.  I have never published this site to MobileMe nor do I have a MobileMe account

    I am looking to publish a web site I created in iWeb to another hosting provider.  I have never published this site to MobileMe nor do I have a MobileMe account.  Can someone please help me?

    Hi Larry, no experience with iWeb, (which is ending soon), but what kind of files & folders does it make locally?
    You need a Wb Hosting service & an ftp client, if you need more info reply with that & what kind of files/folders it made.

  • My hard drive crashed recently and i can no longer see my web site address in the iWeb side bar

    I can n o longer see my web site address in the iweb side bar, how can I relocate it so i can edit my website

    Let me start with the general advise...
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Some web sites not working in FF but they are OK in Safari.

    A couple of times lately I have had web sites not work correctly with Firefox. I need to switch to Safari to complete the tasks I needed to do. My FF is running on Mountain Lion and is up to date.
    Thanks,
    MJT

    Hello michaeljt, the sites you have problem, is it with a lot of flash content ?
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Please reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using '''one''' of the following steps:
    *Hold down the ''Shift'' key and click the ''Reload'' button with the left mouse key.
    OR
    *Press ''Ctrl'' + ''F5'' or ''Ctrl'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Windows and Linux)
    *Press ''Command'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Mac)
    See if this helps solve the issues you had and please report back to us!
    thank you

  • Never made web site,Not subscribed to MobileMe, where can  publish for free

    I want to start off making a website, a basic one, as its my 1st about a hobby.
    I was going to use a free online web based one, but thought I have iMac and iLife 08, so why not try iWeb
    I know its tied into MobileMe, but is there a way to post the site after designing in iWeb to a different site?
    If so how, and where are free sites that you can publish to please.
    cheers

    Here's some information that will help you in publishing to a non-Mac server:

  • Retrieving uploaded web site to new iWeb 08

    I recently did a clean install of my iBook G4 (for various reasons). I now have Leopard on both eMac and iBook. Before I did this I backed (using Backup) up my iLife 06 folder to .Mac. I have reinstalled iLife 06 and on my iBook and recently purchased iLife 08 for my eMac.
    But, how do I get my web site back for editing? I've tried several ways on both computers with no luck. I want to redo the site anyway but would like to be able to use parts of the old site in the new site. The old site is still posted and working fine at .Mac.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The file you needed to backup was the domain.sites2 file that resides in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If you don't have a copy of that file you'll need to reconstruct your site from scratch. iWeb cannot read or import html files, only create them.
    This site has some tips in 2.3 on how you can use some of the file in the published site to rebuild the site: http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebBackupretrieve.html

  • I already have a 10-year-old web site. Instructions for iWeb update?

    My web site has been up for ten years. I created it with PageMill 2.0, and now I can't even communicate with it on my new iMac because it's an OS 9 application.
    That means I'm going back and forth between my old eMac and this one to try and upgrade. I've created a beautiful new art site in iWeb, and it was 100 x as easy as the first one, but I'm having problems getting it online. After ten years in the search engines, I have people enter at many of my old HTML pages and I need to use all my old web pages to forward to my new site. I don't know how to arrange the different files in the site folder to work together, or what to name them. I have tried adding a piece of code recommended for redirecting a page (meta refresh), but that hasn't worked, even when I have the iWeb files in the same folder. My Mac assumes I'll publish on .mac and that isn't the case. I have published to a folder so far. Anybody have instructions?

    Ok, I'm talking to myself here! hahaha! What I was told was this from Mac Fit-it:
    “You don't need to point anything at anything. Simply don't change the names of the HTML files as they are right now; that's all.HTML is HTML is HTML. You do not need PageMill to edit pages created in PageMill. HTML is HTML; any HTML editor can edit pages made in any other HTML editor.“
    Now, this is terrific news, but I still couldn't figure out how to open the old pages with iWeb. So, I simply made new ones with the old names. I don't have to work with PageMill at all, and I have crisp new easily designed pages to point the way to my new site.
    Now if I can just figure out the right meta refresh code (I've come across several) to do the job without giving the search engines a heart attack, and how to arrange them so they work together, I'll be in good shape. Meta refresh has problems, and Java script doesn't pause to see the refresh page. Any ideas?

  • Using iWeb '09 when web site was built in iWeb'08

    I built my web site on iWeb '08 and made frequent changes using Yummy. Last month I upgraded to iWeb '09 and attempted to change the Newsletter page (one of the five pages). The content of the Newsletter page upgraded but I lost my navigation ability at the top of the page. All the other pages have the ability to navigate between each other, but all I have on the Newsletter page is a black dot in the left corner.
    The site is www.windsorseniormensgc.com
    I'm afraid to upgrade the rest of the pages for fear of losing the navigation ability for the whole site. Can anyone assist me here?

    This usually means you haven't uploaded the feed.xml file. In your case it's probably because the one on the server needs to be updated.
    To reassure yourself that everything will be OK, publish your entire site to a local folder and launch it in the browser direct from your hard disk by double clicking the index.html file.
    If all is well, republish the whole site and the new feed.xml should sort out the navigation issue.

  • Broken links after uploading web site to server

    We created our office's web site using Dreamweaver CS4, and uploaded it to the server of our ISP.  Prior to uploading, we tested the site in both IE7 and Firefox, and everything worked fine.  After uploading, however, all images are lost and several of our links are broken.  Any suggestions on where to start looking and how to fix are very appreciated.

    Your code is whacked. Your page can't find the Spry files. Your code is like this:
    <link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarVertical.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    That dot-dot part (../) means the page needs to back up to the parent folder, then enter the SpryAssets folder. Same for your images and links:
    <h1><a href="../Images/larger-logo.jpg"><img src="../Images/larger-logo.jpg" alt="logo" width="300" height="150" border="0" align="left" /></a></h1>
    Looks like you used a Dreamweaver template and somehow your links/references got messed up. It has nothing to do with uploading to a server. The problem is most likely caused by [a] Dreamweaver site not properly configured, or [b] improper use of a Dreamweaver template. You'll need to either manually fix all the bad code or try to recreate a page based on the template - or even recreate the template.
    First thing first - you need to understand the problem. Do you understand - looking at your code - what the problem is? Why those ../ are breaking things? Do you understand the concept of paths? You need to understand that before you can understand how to fix this.

  • Upload web site

    I start devoloping a site in my PowerBook using Iweb; the site was published and all worked fine.
    But now, that I need to upload the site to my G5 to keep working in it, I am out of luck.
    Probably the designers didn't thought that uploading is a must for any web design program, or better yet, there is a way to do that, that I ignore.
    If that is the case I'll appreciate any help.

    in other words if you are working back and forward
    from the laptop to the Desktop you got to repeat the
    copy procedure from PowerBook to G5 and vice-versa.
    Cumbersome, don't you think?
    That's right, you must always have the latest version of the Domain file on whichever machine you wish to be working. It is a fundamental aspect of how the program works. Here's a trick that some have found makes this easier.
