iweb & next?

[jaackie]

Hey you guys!

I'm very new here. I just got my mac some days ago and I love it!
I was working very hard on iweb to make my own homepage kind of thing. I already got a domian.

But now I have no idea what to do, and I'm so dumb when its about computer stuff. I wanted to ask if maybe someone from you could help me...

Without help I'm really really lost


thanks for reading

your domain is through what organizations? go daddy?

You'll need a web host such as MobileMe. Then from that web host you can setup your domain name to point to your host where you'll be storing your web site files.

Wow, you give up quickly. Using Google you'll find plenty of web hosting options at varying prices, some are even free. If you want specific guidance forward, ask specific questions.

As said you need web hosting.

Once you've got that, the web hosting company will provide a FTP access to your site.

In iWeb select the option to upload to a non-mobileme site. It will produce a load of files. FTP these over to your web hosting company, do what is required on their server, and then your site should be live

i have that already but it doesnt work. On the page where my stuff should come up, are just stupid ads and it says error. see: http://www.jackie-malan.de.vu

Looks like there is an error in one of the files. I see this error message,

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/export/www/vhosts/funnetwork/hosting/jaackie/Home.html on line 3

It's likely caused by an issue in the file /zzz/init.php.

yeah I'm totally lost

Can you post the content of that init.php file? Might be able to spot something. It's likely a simple typo in the code.

 

[jaackie]

what is a init.php file?

(sorry I really dont know much about computer stuff)

It's just a file. It looks like it is inside a folder named zzz from the source code.

Why would iWeb even be using PHP? Sounds like it might be associated with the ads, in which case it's a problem with the host, not jaackie.
