iWeb publishing nightmare

Well, my iWeb publishing nightmare has its own special suckiness.

My site
http://www.coyoteradio.org
has one blog and seven podcasts I run for various artists in our community.

Since I foolishly dove in and updated to the new iWeb I can't upload any of their new shows.

I get half-way through the upload, to a podcast main page I've had up for quite some time and there, each and every time, I get the same message:

""Publish Error. An unknown error occurred."

Same message, same place, every time.

Nothing has changed on my site so far.

This very much ***** and I feel very badly to be holding up these people's work.

if this continues on, I'm going to try going back to the previous version this weekend.

I'm hoping someone in a cubicle somewhere is rethinking "hey - its ready to ship as is, who's ready for more "World of Warcraft before lunch?"

Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, here's an interesting story to chew on.

I have two sites, one of which I made changes to from the new version of iWeb. Some of the changes actually uploaded, and I'm happy with them. However, the other site, to which I made no changes, had it's slideshow's messed up...so I found myself in the unique position of wanting to preserve the successfully uploaded changes to site #One from 1.1, but needing to FIX the problems with site #Two.

Because I was lucky enough to have made a copy of 1.0, and I had copies of the Domain.sites on an external HD, I separated the sites into two different Domain folders, and then re-uploaded site #Two from 1.0. Naturally this deleted site #One from the iDisk, but site #Two was now fixed, and with working slideshows. I then replaced the Domain folder in 1.1 with a Domain folder containing both sites, and republished again from 1.1.

Believe it or not, both sites are now uploaded perfectly, and I encountered no errors in the process. Problems I had with site #One, which were relatively minor, are now also fixed.

I have now done two things successfully: I have fixed both sites, and contributed further to all the confusion HERE, in the process! Go figure.

Yeah, some of my friends have tiny sites where upload to .mac is smooth and uninterrupted. I have 13 sites, totalling 88 pages and growing. Go figure

Do you work for Apple?

Ok, .mac is online again and I have the old error message again: Problems with one .png-file while uploading my site. iWeb still shows the whole site as RED (unpublished). Great job, Apple. And of course no comment about this error message, no where. I bought my first mac some months ago and this is really my first big problem.

Just to let everybody know, there are many people that are affected. Me too.

Could it be that enabling Comments on your blog does this? I turned Commenting on, then off last night. And now uploading gives the same errors you all are getting.

This should explain some of your problems.

PS: I had the same png. error message.

Just to say another one with the same problem... seems it publish for a variety of reasons for me.. todays message tells me there is a problem with my network connection?

Hope apple sorts this ASAP. This application just doesn't work.

Amazingly with over 4,000 views of this post, the issue still has no "Helpful" answers available let alone "Solved"

... Apple has their work cut-out for them to resolve this one!

Good luck Apple Tech. Team.

PowerBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Don't install iweb 1.1 if you can avoid it.

People should understand that if people used third party products (iComment and iWeb enhancer) they will encounter problems.
Code has been added and Apple can't possibly know who has what.

I comment and such have been written knowing what code iweb uses.

Please keep this in mind.

I removed icomment then my comments appeared and the png errror dissapearred but i had to include attachments with iwebscomments then after a publish remove them if i want to.

PS: iComment and iWeb's comments don't work together.

I have published my site in a folder and sent it to .Mac trough iDisk.

It's a solution.

I removed iComment but still have the same png error

I agree with Alxalx, we all pay money for it and Apple should release some note with explenation ! For ex. that we should wait two days until it gets repaired...
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY APPLE IS NOT RESPONDING TO MY FEEDBACKS AND CAN'T WRITE ENYTHING ON THIS FORUM !

Please people make sure you are logging this issue on Apple feedback for iWeb.

No matter how many of us discuss this disaster of an upgrade here, it is just a public forum.

My .mac account is due for renewal this week and it really makes me think about it when they upgrade software that I paid good money for, with a steaming pile of crap that reminds me of a microsoft upgrade!

At home :

2) ADSL 512/128 modem + airport
3) No
4) 1000000 time
5) publish button modified and all
6) 2 sites with one off each page (one public and one secure)
7) iMac G5 1.8 1024mo
