I originally had a Typepad page but have recreated my site on iWeb. I am trying to transfer it over now but cannot get the new iweb version to load. iweb says it has been published but when I go to www.halfpintinteriors.com it is blank and the typepad logo is still in the address bar. Am I doing something wrong in iweb, godaddy, or typepad? Thanks!
iWeb '08
Make sure you pointed your domain name back to GoDaddy's server's
I am sorry but I am not very saavy at this stuff, how do I do that?
It would be in your "Domain Manager" at GoDaddy
Login to your godaddy account
select your domain: "www.halfpintinteriors.com"
Click on the: "Set Nameservers"
If you have a hosting account with GoDaddy choose: "I have a hosting account with these domains."
Since you are using iWeb '08 you will be publishing to a local folder.
Make sure you upload the external index.html file as, well as the folder with the rest of your website files, to the root folder on your server.
Thanks guys, I will give it a try. My husband usually helps me with this stuff but he is out of town!
If you had your Typepad page upload to the GoDaddy server with the domain name - www.halfpintinteriors.com - then this has nothing to do with the domain name redirect.
Make sure you replace the original index.html file with the one produced by iWeb as I mentioned above.
Hi Roddy, Can you explain how to do this?
How are you uploading your website?
You do not need to change your name server's it appears that they are already pointed to Godaddy's servers:
I take it that you are using iWeb '08 and therefore don't have the version with the build in FTP?
How are you uploading the files to the server - what FTP application?
I did it through iWeb.
Published to: FTP Server
Site Name: Half Pint Interiors
Server Adress: IP
Username: godaddy domain username
Password: godaddy domain password
Directory/Path: blank
Protocol: FTP
Port: 21
When I publish iWeb says its published to www.halfpintinteriors.com/Half_Pint_Interiors but when I choose "visit page" it is blank.
If you are using the iWeb FTP it uploads the whole folder and the external index.html file so that the URL to any page is...
www.halfpintinteriors.com/Half_Pint_Interiors/page-name.html
If you have the external index.html file uploaded, anybody entering- halfpintinteriors.com - will get to the home page.
You need to open your GoDaddy file manager to see where the files have actually been uploaded to since they are not in the correct place.
With a screen like this you are using iWeb '09
The files are in a folder called Half_Pint_Interiors within the html folder. Along with Apache Logs, cgi, Media, and Script folders.
Why when I publish iWeb to GoDaddy is the page is blank?
