Q: where is iWeb files store in OSX El Capitain v. 10.11.2?

where is iWeb files store in OSX El Capitain v. 10.11.2?

Can't found any iWeb directory under "Library -  Application Support" as suggested by some comments over the internet.

 

By the way, can anyone advise how to upload the web site created by iWeb to the internet, I tried "upload" function from iWeb and it only direct me to log in the iCloud account.

 

Thanks very much

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

    If you are running a Mac with El Capitan, then there will not be any store for iWeb, because new Mac's have not shipped with iWeb for a very long time.

     

    However, if you happened to load iWeb onto your Mac from a disc, then iWeb stores the domain.sites files under your User/Library/Application Support.  Library/Application Support is the System Library and you will NOT find anything there.

     

    To get to your User Library, you need to click on the Go menu at the top and then press the 'alt' key to make your User Library visible, but you may have to create it, as the Mac's do not automatically ship with iWeb, as it has been unsupported software for the last 4 years or so now.

     

    To publish a site on the web you need to get a web hosting account from one of the many web hosts around - GoDaddy etc.  If you don't have a hosting account, that means firstly registering a domain name of your choice and then purchasing the hosting for it, you will not be able to publish it.  iCloud does not offer hosting, only storage.

     

    Go to GoDaddy and register and domain name and purchase some hosting and then upload your site.

     

    Perhaps you should consider new software also, as iWeb is old and unsupported, so take a look at EverWeb instead.

    Thanks very much.  I download Everweb to try and still don't know where Everweb will store the file!? 

     

    I already have a web hosting provider, so I will use FTP to post the files to the web hosting site

    As EverWeb and iWeb are different, this is something that you need to ask on the EverWeb forums and not the iWeb forums.
