Can Publish but not Visit

Hello to all,

I put my web site up a few days ago, made some changes, managed to visit it from I-Web and everything was fine. But now for the last two days I cannot gain access to my web site. The strange thing is that I can publish it from I-Web, but when I try to visit it I get the page that says it cannot find the web site.

Any ideas of what I am doing wrong ?

I-Mac, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Hello,

I know what the url format is, and I have also tried simply typing it directly as well as use the Visit button in I-Web but it does not work. I am trying to figure out if I-Web can publish, but I can reach the site, where is it publishing to ? I am even receiving the confirmation from I-Web that the site has been updated.

I followed your recommendation and the URL that appears is the following :
file:///Volumes/michelmalo/Web/Sites/Photography/Welcome.html

and when it goes into Safari it tells me that it cannot find the page. I am guessing that while its telling me that its publishing it really is not. Is that correct ? And if so, what would you suggest as another step to try to resolve the issue ?

Thanks for the help already.

I think the problem here is the index.html file which is a redirect-only file.
Entering http://web.mac.com/michelmalo/
Redirects to: http://web.mac.com/michelmalo/Photography/Welcome.html
which is inexistent.
Maybe you changed the sitename or pagename and the index.html didn't get updated.
To fix it make a "Publish All" from File menu instead of a Publish.

PostEdit: Doesn't seem to be the case after reading your last post...
However you're not alone with that Mireille is experiencing the same since a month...

Maybe due to WebMe.com?
