  Hi I'm hoping to get some help regarding iWeb problems. I have created a site in iWeb and uploaded it and I get an error when I upload it. So, for a test , I then uploaded a non iWeb site to my server and it worked. I'm really confused, because when I test the index.htm for the iWeb site it seems like it's not there or something. When I look at the index.htm file for the non - iWeb site, I can edit it and it works just fine.

  Please help.

  Thank you,

  Travis

  Hi Travis,

  What error do you get when you try to upload the iWeb-created website?

  Thanks,

  Hi Travis,

  Just to double-check:

  Do get that error when the files are uploading with Fetch?

  Or do you get that error when trying to view the webpage in your browser, after it has been uploaded?

  Thanks,

  Hi Travis,

  What happens if you do the following?

  * Open the folder on your Macintosh that you published your website to.
  * Double-click the index.html file you'll find in there. Your web browser should open.
  * Go to one of the problem photo album pages.

  Do you get the same error when you do that?

  Thanks,

  I published the site to my macintosh hard drive and opened the index file and it worked perfectly.

  I can't figure out why it will not work on the public website. urg.

  Hi Travis,

  I would recommend connecting to the server, completely deleting the copy of the website on the server, publish the website from iWeb to a new folder on your Mac, and uploading the newly published copy of the website to the server. That may clear up the problem.

  Thanks,

  Scott,
  Are you saying to go on to the server and delete everything then reupload via iWeb?

  Hi Travis,

  Well, I had been assuming you had been using Fetch to upload your website, which requires that you publish the website to a folder first. But yes, try deleting everything and then uploading again.

  I exported the website to the mac hard drive, then used Fetch to upload it to the webserver and I get the following error still:

  Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/home/simonsphoto/index.html on line 1

  Hi Travis,

  Since you are getting the same error regardless of whether you upload the website with Fetch or iWeb, and we know that the website does work when you try to open it from your Mac's hard drive, it looks like your server is causing the problem - based on the error, it sounds like maybe it does not like a line in your webpage's code. I would contact the company or people who run the server and ask for their advice to see if they know what the error means.

  Searching the web for "iWeb syntax error unexpected T_STRING" seems to lead to some suggestions; it may be that you need to edit the HTML created by iWeb to make your server happy. But I'd start by talking to the server people first, they may have a quick solution for you.

  Thanks,
