Hi

I am publishing my second site through SEO via ftp.
I keep getting the following message:

/httpdocs//assets.http/--
www.mydomainname.co.nzplist: No such file or directory


Thanks in advance if anyone can assist.

/httpdocs/ is my host directory details.

Hi Anna,

Are you uploading your exported website folder from iWeb or your domains.sites file?

You should be using your exported website folder from iWeb.

I'm having the same problem - my site appears to have uploaded correctly with the new titles/metatags (I checked the source code in web browser), but as it is completing its upload I get the "Plist: No such file or directory" error.

I am uploading from the local folder I published to from iWeb (not the domains.sites file).

Thanks for the assist in advance.

Hi Wayne

I am uploading from the local folder i published to from iWeb aswell. After spending a day trying to publish, finally it just worked - i didn't do anything differently. I haven't tried it again today.

I am having sort of the same problem...

I have added new title tags, meta tags and image attributes using iWeb SEO Tool, I did the whole process, saved my iWeb site to a folder on my desktop, opened it in SEO Tool, made the changes I wanted to make, and published to MobileMe using SEO Tool... however when I went to my website the changes were not made.

i tried completely deleting my website from my iDisk and doing the whole republishing process through SEO Tool again and it worked. After making changes to my site through iWeb i did the whole process like I am suppose to do, and the changes from SEO Tool did not show up on my site. So once again I deleted my website in iDisk and republished through SEO Tool, and this time my website uploaded to my iDisk, but when I went to my website it said that the mobileme site i am trying to access is unavailable in about 5 different languages.

I read the FAQ's and I did apply meta tags to every page and I did republish to a folder using iWeb, but then I made the all of the changes I originally made using the re-apply all save changes button in SEO Tool, then republished to MoblieMe using SEO Tool. I talked to godaddy.com, I am not using domain forwarding with masking, it is an option i have the choice to use or not and I am currently not using it.

and NOW I just tried to publish using SEO Tool and I got the following error "Could not create Directory" then had the path to my iDisk.

anyone else have a problem like this at all and how did you fix it?

Hi Wayne

You select your website folder in the Finder. Then go to the File menu and select compress. A file ending in .zip will appear. Please send that to me using our support forum.

Hi there, thanks for all your help.
I have zipd the domain successfully, filled out the form, but its taking hours to upload - ie: i have hit submit and it just says "loading" in my browser, but nothing happens (been an hour). Have tried a few times.

Hi Anna,

Can you upload it somewhere? Like to your FTP server and then provide me a link to download?

Thanks so much for all your help.
I tried all day yesterday, then tonight - it just worked - out of the blue. Must be something i am doing, or its my host.
If i continue to have problems i will try what you suggested above.
Thanks again.

I had this same problem and here is the issue.
Typically iWeb 09 saves your site as follows:

some_top_level_directory
+ assets.http/--yoursite.com.plist
+ your_site
+ index.html

When iWeb uploads assets.http/--yoursite.com.plist it converts this file into a binary plist and names it assets.http:--yoursite.com.plist

If you are using iWeb SEO Tool specify the directory your_site rather than some_top_level_directory for your FTP upload. This will avoid uploading the assets.http/--yoursite.com.plist. Note that if you want this published in the same place iWeb publishes your site, you will need to add your_site to the path for FTP upload.

For example: if your path in iWeb is public_html, then use public_html/your_site for iWeb SEO Tool.
I typically upload twice: once with iWeb, and then again with iWeb SEO Tool.

If you rather upload only once and don't care for the assets.http/--yoursite.com.plist or the index.html then you can use iWeb SEO Tool and just publish to public_html. Be sure to remove any old public_html/your_site directory you may have uploaded with iWeb to save some disk space.

You may be worried that ignoring the index.html file under some_top_level_directory may cause an issue. It will not. iWeb creates the directory structure as follows:

+ assets.http/--yoursite.com.plist
+ your_site
+++ index.html
+++ other_files...
+ index.html

Both index.html are little wrappers that actually point to your Home.html page. So if you just upload your_site to your public_html everything will work just fine.

Hope this helps!
