Iweb problem

[as-i-said]

I have a very simple website for my shop here but want to jazz it up a little, so have used Iweb to create a new one, problem is, iweb says it has been uploaded, but the old site still lives.
The host says its because iweb isnt exporting a public.html file, so the old one still gets seen.
Im not over savvy when it comes to problems like this, any help/idea's would be great
thanks for looking

hard to say without knowing the specifics of what you've created and your hosting

but, taking a blind stab in the dark I'd say, it sounds as though the public.html is the default filename for the domain (albeit an odd one), and what you've uploaded via iWeb probably uses index.html as the default which might have a lower priority...

usually a host will specify an list of several filenames in a priority order which if found will be used as the homepage for the domain, so for example if it's [public.php, public.html, index.php and then index.html] and your old site was using public.html for the homepage, with your new one using index.html it would find the public.html one first and use that, totally ignoring the new one.

easiest way to check is to do it manually; connect via ftp, delete all the old files, check the site stops working, and then upload the new ones

if i remember there is a certain way with iweb that this works

have you called your home page index ? if not that might be your problem

if not delete your old site via ftp if you dont know how it can be a pain

look at the apple's site adn it has tutorials there
i know it took me a while to get use to it


also kowaski on here did a tutorial on iweb i will try to fidn the link for you

Hmmm..
most hosting service will require you to upoad your files to the /public directory, and will usually require you to use index.html as the first page of your website.

Are you sure you are uploading to the correct directory?
