Here's how I'm getting by with iWeb 1.1
Posted: May 19, 2006 6:23 AM
 

Here's how I'm getting by until Apple sends a fix. So much for one-button publishing:

1. Open Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor, Network to monitor sent activity
2. Open iWeb
3. Make all your edits
4. Publish, sent activity should jump when iWeb completes creating pages
5. Let it error on whatever jpg or png, hit ok
6. Leave iWeb open until sent activity drops back to zero
7. Close iWeb
8. Delete prepublishstate.plist in your domain file
9. Repeat for any other edits

Unfortunately the advanced features are hit and miss but at least I can get only new pages to upload instead of the entire site.

When you open Activity Monitor, click on the Nework button, just below the middle of the screen.

This shows you data Sent and Received.

thanks for this,

I have spent the last couple of hours trying to publish my site only to keep getting all the various error messages quoted on the forum.

If I understand this right, this will solve my problem of 4 macs wanting to sync 1.7 Gb of data which has been changed because I republished iweb, right.

Can I add. I published the site - got the error message, made a slight change which allowed me to re-published successfully. Now it's gone and lost my web forwarding so all my users get a 'not available' page. It's driving me to distraction!

Yes, iWeb is trying to republish the 1.7 gb. Activity Monitor should give you an estimate of the amount of data sent (current value plus 1.7 gb). It may rollover at some point like a spedometer, but the sent rate will be up while it's still uploading.

Once it has upped the 1.7 gb and you delete the plist file, it will then only upload changes.

This is what worked for me, good luck.

I assume you mean domain forwarding.

Verify that your "web.mac.com/username/iWeb/site/page/page.html" loads and is the same for what you set your domain forward.

Also just to be clear, you have to remove the prepublishate.plist file after every time you publish.

I sure hope Apple has a fix in the works and fast.

Good to know. One nice thing is that it is not to hard to get rid of that guy... I could even dust off my Automator program and make a workset thing for it.

Sorry, I am guessing this is old news, but what is the prepublishate.plist file? Not sure where to look for it, or what it does. I even tried to Spotlight it and came up with zilch.

Couldn't find it in my Sites folder either, is it on my computer or on iDisk somewhere?

Thanks.

Go to ~/library/application support/iweb/domain
ctrl click, showpackage contents

You'll notice that domain file contains all the content you create for iweb.
