An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/Sites.rss”. Try publish

Same issue here.

same probleme !!

I was having the same problem and I simply waited an annoying hour and it finally published. So I guess only patience will solve this one. $99 a year makes that hard though.

My site to simply get links out there so basically a shameless plug... www.attawayworld.com

Same here.....and the link is not working to the old site either......

Researcher,

What a fantastic and original idea. I'm sure Apple will be taken completely by suprise. In the meantime, why are you posting a website here that isn't even created using the iWeb application?

Clearly you are here for different reasons.

I have had the same problem for two days. Tried to "publish all" until my mouse finger felt numb. I also tried to wuit all programs using internet (like safari, mail entourage firefox ftps etc).
After reading a lot of tips and tricks, especially Mark Heatons page http://web.mac.com/mark8heaton/iWeb/PublishErrorsHelp/Publish%20Errors%20Help.ht ml
I finally decided to try deleting my "asset.[macusername].plist" file inside the domain.sites2 package. After this I performemed the 976th attempt to "publish all", and it worked!
Mind you it could just be a coincidence, I hesitate to try and recreate the problem to see if this really is the "FIX" for this problem, I'm just happy it worked. Give it a try and see what happens.

On a technical note: It seems that the plist file that I deleted somehow is related to my .Mac account and SHOULD not have anything to do with publishing apart from the sign in part in the beginning.

Good luck,
Bruno

Bruno,

What a great post. I hope others will try your advice; Thanks for the info!

All is working now.....

I'm currently experiencing this problem. I have tried all the suggestions and nothing is working. My website is currently not online. Very frustrating!!!

Publishing to a folder worked. Can't publish to my iDisk...

Kevin

Kevin,

Can you upload anything to your iDisk?

Mount your iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder:

Go/iDisk/My iDisk/

Drop a small pic file into your Pictures folder; see if it will go up. You should be able to access the picture using this url:

homepage.mac.com/username/.Pictures/XXXXXX.jpg

Sometimes the best way to begin diagnosing the problem is to start simple.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the thought. I was able to copy and view a new picture. The problem SEEMS to be limited to iWeb. Still unable to publish and my site is gone for now...

Kevin

Well let's see if we can get it back up.

You said you published to a folder; take that folder, which is named for your site, and mount the iDisk again. Now drop the SiteFolder in it's entirety into the Web/Sites/ directory. It will probably take it's time going up, but it will go up. Also put the index.html file into the Sites/ directory.

Post back and let us know how it goes.

Mark,

Thank you VERY much for taking the time to help me. I am in the process of copying, should take about 1/2 hour. I'll report back.

Kind regards,
Kevin

Hmmm - I'm having the same problem.

1 - I've uploaded an image and can view it successfully.
2 - I've deleted that asset.<username>.plist file
3 - I'm still getting this error about Sites.rss

Is this a server issue or a client (iWeb) issue? I'm happy to wait it out, but if there's something I should be fixing on my end, I'd like to fix it now.
