I'm trying to get going with org-publish, but am falling at the first hurdle. I can't get it to do anything...
C-h v shows that org-publish-projects-alist has the value
(("website" :base-directory "~/website/" :publishing-directory "~/pub_html/website/" :section-numbers nil :table-of-contents nil))
The directory ~/website exists and contains a trivial org syntax file called root.org ('* hello' followed by a newline)
The directory ~/pub_html/website exists.
I was expecting org-publish website, and C-c C-e X website (incidentally the X is erroneously down as a C in the documentation node 13.3) to result in a file called root.html being written to ~/pub_html/website, but that directory remains empty, despite repeated invocations of the same commands...
I know I'm being stupid... how, please?
Cheers,
Dan
Org-mode version 6.06pre01
I've tried with and without the trailing slashes on the base/publishing-directory values, the documentation shows trailing slashes
I've tried manually expanding ~, to no avail. (But I believe ~ should be fine as it is)

I had similar issue. Suggestion here might help:

Yes, he was. I think I may have identified the bug. The symptom is
that when the directory ~/.org-timestamps does not exist, org-publish
does nothing. I think what it should do is create ~/.org-timestamps,
and go ahead with the requested publishing. org-publish.el contains
the function org-publish-needed-p which is supposed to return 't' if
the file should be published. Here's my suggested change which seems
to result in the behaviour I was expecting. But I haven't looked at
the code extensively, maybe there's some more appropriate place to
make the missing timestamp directory. Also, I barely know what I'm
doing in elisp. The original defun is below.

Aha, this is what caused my problem before I followed your suggestions
and
(setq org-publish-use-timestamps-flag nil)
Just got the git-head and it works fine now.
Just one little usability tweak would be nice - when it does not publish
anything because of timestamps then log a message in the status bar to
that affect.

It is not trivial to implement this because I would need a global
variable
to keep track of things. For now, I am showing a message for each
published
and for each skipped file. Bu I agree that a simple publishing
statistics
message at the very end would be better.
