Re-Publishing on i Web

Can someone please help me get out of this maze ?

I have amended the content of my original iWebsite and have been trying to republish it without success as the original site is still on line!

I contacted my host - HostPapa - who told me to empty the cache

I use a Mac OS X 10.8.2 and having contacted Apple to find out how to do this proceedure I was told to go to Preferences > Privacy and remove all web site data . I did this and the old web site was still there !! they then told me to 'Reset Safari' I did this and its still there !!

I tried republishing the new site to no avail

Is life long enough ??

Any help will be appreciated - Thanks

I didn't (Snow Leopard) - of course that may be one of Lion or Mountain Lion's 'improvements'.

Lion & Mountain Lion like hiding things.

I would always prefer GraphicConverter anyway, but of course it has to be bought.

Thanks for your help - I have now conversted SS to JPG . bloody miracle !!

This is the first page of my as yet unpublished website

Feb 4, 2013 12:14 PM in response to Paintpot

Do you have all the proper information in your publishing settings?

I tried to access another of your pages (Mustang) & it is not on your server

Feb 4, 2013 12:20 PM in response to Paintpot

You have changed the capitalization of the site name. As shown in your picture it would lead to

http://davidholtartist.com/DavidholtArtist/About.html

However there is no file there. You should return to using davidholtartist and try publishing all again.

I get a feeling that we are homing in on the problem.

These are the FTP server settings

Feb 4, 2013 1:03 PM in response to Paintpot

Your directory/path should be: /public_html

Feb 4, 2013 1:10 PM in response to Paintpot

And in addition to what Jeff says, the existing site was named without capitals. When you publish as it's set at the moment it will be in a new folder with the capital letters, and the original folder won't be deleted. The domain name alone will redirect to the new version, but you will need to go into the server and delete the present folder or you will have this old duplicate which Google will index. You also have - as of the last time I checked - another duplicate set of the pages at root level and again you should remove these.

Thanks Jeff

Is that the problem ? and is that the answer to make it all happen ?

If so, do I simply type in the new info into the dirctory / path

Feb 4, 2013 1:21 PM in response to Paintpot

Hostpapa requires that path as per their instructions:

http://hostpapasupport.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid =227

Obviously you would use your server address (97.74.215.199), username, & password)

I added additional pages to the original web site . which is registered with hostpapa as www.davidholtartist.com.

I can see what you are saying regarding removing and deleting but I need to get back o you tomorrow to clarify the mechanics of doing this.

Meanwhile many thanks for your help

Feb 4, 2013 1:37 PM in response to Paintpot

Not a problem. I was multi-tasking (cutting up some rib-eye's)

Now that I'm back in harness I would be grateful if you could let me know the nuts and bolts of carrying out the proceedure outlined in your reply at 1.10pm yesterday.

I intend to follow Jeffs advice re directory /path but should I do this before or after removing and deleting as you suggest?
