New Troubleshooting Entries: Apple iWeb and MySQL Port Changes

In  light of recent sup­port ques­tions, I’ve added two new entries to our web pub­lish­ing trou­bleshoot­ing page. High­lights include:

iWeb Can­not Directly Upload to public_html/student_html Folders

Apple iWeb does not prop­erly han­dle sym­bolic links and can­not directly upload to your public_html or student_html folder.

This is actu­ally an issue I’ve been tack­ling with for a while now, and the Apple forums are vague enough that I can’t find many ref­er­ences to sim­i­lar issues. How­ever, after feed­back from more cus­tomers, I’ve con­cluded that this is a real issue and that there is no “fix” for this issue, only a (thank­fully easy) workaround.

I have been get­ting spo­radic reports that iWeb 2011 does work in some cases, but will occa­sion­ally delete your public_html sym­bolic link. This, of course, can be recre­ated.
