Software :: Created Website In IWeb - Getting Publish Error
Nov 9, 2008
I created a website in Iweb. When I go to save my file in Publish to a folder I get a error message reading "Publish error" An unknown error occurred. And when I pulled up my existing iweb file many of the photos were missing. The photo placeholders had Question marks in them.
Many years back, I used to have a website on freewebs (now known as web dot com). I would pay a monthly fee to host it and publish directly through their website by accessing my account online. Recently, I visited the site and found it still exists. Only that it has lots of advertisements on it since I don't pay a monthly fee anymore. Now that I have a Mac, I wanted to use iWebs to create a new website. It says I can use MobileMe to publish the website I create with iWebs. So my questions are:
(1) Will MobileMe act as my new host to which I pay the yearly subscription fee? (2) My previous host had a charge for the amount of gigabytes I published , site traffic (bandwidth), etc., what are my limits for MobileMe? (3) The main reason I was considering to purchase a MobileMe account is so I can use it as my host for a website published through iWebs '09 since they say thats the easiest way to publish. I would use the other MobileMe non-website features if I bought a subscription, but really would not purchase it unless it was for this website publishing tool. Do you think its worth it? (4) Is there anything different about using MobileMe as a website host than my previous host (i.e. freewebs)? (5) I had purchased a website name on GoDaddy which I still own. I used to redirect my freewebs site to this website name I had purchased on GoDaddy. Can I redirect my MobileMe hosted website to this website name I purchased on GoDaddy just like I used to do with my old Freewebs site? (6) I don't see anything on the MobileMe page at Apple Store giving information about hosting charges, maximum limits, bandwidth, etc. It mostly just talks about publishing photo albums, e-mail, contacts, calendars, etc. Is there anything important I need to know about using MobileMe as my sole host for publishing a website?
My question: is there a way to add meta tag information to an iWeb created website? I know iWeb 06 (and I assume 08) does not natively allow you to do this. Is there a workaround? If so, if you could point me to a URL that explains, in some detail, how to do it, that would be amazing....
My problem is that iWeb doesn't publish my site the way it is shown in iWeb. I made some modifications to my site in iWeb (put some picture frames on my site, lines) but when I publish to a folder and then to a different domain, my site won't look nothing at all with the one I have created in iWeb. I checked my site with Firefox and Safari and the lines or the picture frames disappeared or don't appear as they should.
Here's my situation:I created a site using iWeb '08. Many months passed and I wasn't doing anything with that particular site any longer, so I nuked the pages within iWeb and have since worked on new projects.Now I need to do some work on that old site again.I have all of the created content in a folder that had been stored on my server, but I have nary a clue how to get it all back into iWeb again.
i'm new to the whole we publishing world and I need a little help. I've created a personal page on iWeb, and now I want to publish it, but not on .mac. here is what i want:
i. i want a to be able to have my own domain name; www.(myname).com ii. i want it cheap! $8/mo or chearper iii. my own e-mail address that i can maybe link with Web Mail on osx iv. it needs to be easy......
i've looked into godaddy.com, but i just don't understand how i would get my iWeb site to it.
Upgraded to 09 and tried to publish the existing site. No changes were made. Getting this error (repeatedly( An error occurred while publishing file �filename�. Try publishing again later.
It's been a different filename every time I have tried it.
I was trying to publish a newly created website, from my iWeb to a folder on my desktop. What happened, is that its not trying to save the new one that I've selected and is highlighted, but starts with the last one that I already have published.
I am working on a few sites on my iWeb. I don't have a .mac account so I publish them to a folder and upload to my sites through ftp. My problem is, everytime i click "publish to folder", it publishes ALL my sites and folders, instead of only the ONE i am working on.
How can i find publish to folder in iweb. the only items under file are Publish site changes, publish entire site and visit published site. Where is publish to folder? Iam also considering using filezilla??
Now that I can no longer publish my iWeb sites via Mobile Me, I have tried to use the ftp server that I pay for through a site hosting service for my business (sitemason). Unfortunately, there is some "redirect" that I cannot find and it creates an index that makes the iWeb pages become my "Home" page. I don't need to override my existing website, I only want the iWeb pages to open when the links to them are accessed. Is this a simple issue or should i just pay some service to publish my iWeb content and keep it nested within my old site?
I accidentally double-clicked on a file named "Domain" which was really a backup file of my Site. My problem is that I had backed up my site a long time ago, after which i have made many changes. Now when I open iWeb it takes me back to the original days of the site. I still have the desired folder in "Sites", but can seem to get in onto iWeb. Is there any way to put my latest site back onto iweb?
I haven't setup time machine, I publish using Easy iWeb Publisher, I don't have have a Mobileme account
I opened iWeb 3 just now, to find that Apple has removed the option to publish to a folder.So luckily I have MobileMe account and can publish to there and copy the files from iDisk to other web host, but others may not be so lucky.
I've had my macbook for almost a year and just recently used iweb to try to start my webpage. I've never built a webpage either, so I'm pretty new at all of this. I have a domain thru [URL] and I put together a home page and tried publishing it multiple times. When I hit the publish button on iweb it loads and loads and loads and loads and never ends. Not sure if it's on the iweb or godaddy side that isn't allowing it to load.
Has anyone yet come up with a solution for the publishing problem with latest version of iWeb just released? Seems it creates the pages ok, but when it goes to publish to dotMac it stops mid way with an error statement against some random photo file, a different one each time. It will publish ok to a folder though. Lots of discussion about this in Apple Discussion forum but no answers. I wonder if Apple is going to fix this or if a work around exists.
I created a site with iweb 08. I did it from scratch, because when I tried to load the site that was created from 06, it totally messed up everything. I have a couple custom fonts that I used, and it looks great in iweb, but when I view the published website on another computer, the fonts are completely different, like they reverted to default. I finally got everything to work ok with 08, and now I have a font problem. If it makes a difference, I'm not using a .mac account.
Is it possible to run 2 websites or more now with iWeb 09? I could not figure it out in 08 but I thought I read that you can in 09. This is using one MobileMe account btw.
I recently bought the domain lettherobotsout.co.uk (it's a joke with my friend) for 2 years, so I was wanting to quickly make a little website for it. So I popped open iWeb, having never used it, and immediately got to work. After completing the page, I then went to the thing on the side where you put ftp settings and stuff like that in. But then I realised I had no idea what the "server address" was in the ftp server settings part! I have looked all over the domaincheck website and in "my settings" on the website but I can't find that part out
I maintain three websites in iWeb on my MacBook.I want to transfer one of these sites to another Mac, as someone else will be maintaining it. How can I do this?
As the title says, I'd like to make a website using iWeb, and then later publish it using a free service instead of what Apple provides with iWeb. What services could I use, and how would I go about doing that on iWeb?
I have a website on MobileMe which I created using iWeb on a mac I currently do not have access to. Therefore it doesn't appear listed on iWeb on this mac. How do I download it to iWeb on this mac?
I would like to link to another page within the website without that page existing on the navigation menu on the homepage. Is this possible? I have tried using HTML but does not work. I'm new at iWeb. I have 6 navigational pages. 2 of the 6 pages will have sub pages with those sub pages also having sub pages. How do I link each sub page without creating more navigational pages on the homepage? I don't want 12 navigational pages on homepage.
I have an iweb site active on the apple server and able to be viewed online, but sadly my iweb app has be come corrupt and I have had to reinstall iweb from my disc. I would like to know if there is any way that I can some how carry on adding to my website. My site is on idisk, but sadly I did not back up to a folder nor time machine. My site is at [URL]
