Another domain name problem

So I have a site with iWeb. The full address is-
http://web.mac.com/neilbowman/GBFS/Graham_Bowman.html
I bought a domain name through yahoo-
www.grahambowman.com
I set up the personal domain settings on mobile me
Then In the DNS settings the source to www.grahambowman.com
and the destination is web.me.com.
I was wanting my address to be www.grahambowman.com, but there's problems.
When you go to that address is ads on /iWebSiteName/PageName.html
I really wanted it to be simply, www.grahambowman.com and not have the other stuff on it.
Also when you type in just grahambowman.com with no www it gets you to a yahoo under construction page. I've looked around in forums but can't get this to work correctly. Help would be greatly appreciated.

You domain works as it should.
The other stuff are the pages in your site. Millions of websites have them.
It that disturbs you, use a [frameset|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/frames/frameset.html].
In that case you do not need a Personal domain at MMeor CNAME.
Use URL forwarding with masking. You can manage it at your domain host. They provide the frameset.

Cant connect using another domain name

Hi. iChat is up and running, we're able to connect to it using user@servername, but when we try to use another domain name it doesnt work (dns is pointed to that server, if i ping it it does give the correct ip), i know the dns is working because if i check the server log it does say i connected to it, but 1 sec. after it disconnects any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
You must ensure that you list the other domains in the Host Domains section of the Settings tab Server Admin application. Assuming you have done that and you still have problem, it will help us help you if you post the entries you have in the log file and the domains and one of the usernames you are trying to use.

A fix to personal web domain name problem between iWeb and GoDaddy

There are numerous posts about problems with iWeb understanding both your personal name domain with and without the www.prefix. After five days, 25 calls to both Apple and GoDaddy where I was getting much conflicting advice even within each organization, and I experienced many problems such as the site not being found and iWeb asking for password authorization whenever anyone visited the site. The good news is that I was finally able to resolve the problem with these simple steps:
First, check that your Web site actually exists by going to http://web.mac.com/yourusername
If that works then you need to set up a forward in GoDaddy.
In GoDaddy's account manager, make sure that the forwarding address is set to http://web.mac.com/yourusername. This must be the same address that you just checked through your browser. (I also advise you to NOT USE the .ME designation that Apple is moving to. It's not solid yet. .MAC will work for a long time. It's web.mac.com/ that will work).
Then click on the Total DNS Control and MX Records link.
This is where my instructions that work differ from many other instructions, but heed my advice and you'll save a lot of time.
Look in the CNAMES area and make sure that the www host alias points to "@" and not to anything else such as "web.me.com" or "www.mac.com". If you don't have such an entry, then create one by clicking on the "add a new CNAME Record"button. Caution - if you don't use the "@" (at sign) here you WILL run into trouble where your custom domain name will only work WITHOUT a "www." prefix. (While this may not be a problem for your mac friends, most everyone using a PC will think they need to type in a "WWW." and that will cause a problem).
Then if you wish, you can also go back into your domain forwarding area and click on the masking tab and click to enable masking. This will make your url only show the short personal domain name rather than the very long iWeb mobile me URL appended with your personal domain name.
Confirm your entry, and then wait anywhere from 20 minutes to four hours or more for the tens of thousands of servers around the world to repopulate those instructions. I was able to see a change take place in minutes where my associate in another state didn't see the change for two hours. Don't worry, just wait.
If you do this, you should be able to then go to your Web site through either www.YourPersonalDomainName.com or YourPersonalDomainName.com
Good luck!

I was finally able to resolve the problem with these simple steps:
Many people would not be interested in using url forwarding/masking as you suggest to solve this issue, since that makes it impossible to bookmark individual pages of your site. For those who do wish to set the www CNAME to web.mac.com, I think the problem can normally be solved by also setting the @ A Record to 17.250.248.34.

Post .mac site to another domain name still on mac server?

I have both a domain name that is .mac and a .biz url. I do not have another server to upload to (I just own the domain name), and would like to use my .mac website designed using iweb '06 v.1.1.2 and load it on the mac server but have the .biz url be the url the public will use... this is for a business website. How do I do this?
The directions in all the help files assume the use of another server holding the domain name... maybe this is a requirement, but seems to be a waste to have a .mac account but have to have such a convoluted url for the public.
Is this possible?

Hi there,
little correction: they don't assume having another server. They assume having it registered from a domain registrar. Which is quite different. You have to tell the domain registrar to point the domain to .mac.
This page may help... At least I hope it does...

Move a blog to another domain name

How can I easily move an existing blog with its current and archived entries to a different site/domain name?
I have an existing family iWeb site with an embedded blog. Since viewship has grown beyond the original intended audience, I want to move the blog to its own domain name for privacy reasons.
Also, I am a .Mac family pack user. I use domain maksing to inhibit the appearance of the native URL's. The blog entries contain a number of links to previous blog entries.
I thought about the following steps but thought it wise to solicit advise first!
1. Create a new id using our .Mac family pack.
2. Copy the existing Domain file.
3. Delete all the non-blog entries within the copied file.
4. Publish the copied file to the new id.
This seems to simple to be true, which I why I thought it wise to ask for advice before trying!
Thanks

Doug...
Your steps sound pretty much on key. The only other thing that you might want to consider is creating another user account on your computer to use your separate .Mac ID. Then just copy the Domain over and delete the non-blog stuff like you said. The separate user account would make it so that you wouldn't have to manually change the .Mac info in System Preferences...just log in and log out.

Iweb Domain Name problem

I bought a domain name for my site and I am having trouble getting my page to link to it. Anyone have any tips??? CompBiz ( the domain company) says the problem is getting the correct url to link to....
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

That is what I have for my first site with them, and that has worked for a year. I just created a new site for our Boy Scout troop. I have it linked FROM my joeneb.com site, and it works that way. However, when I linked that site to the name I bought (dillsburgtroop38.com) it does not work. The Compbiz people told me that is because there is a % in is url......
I don't know what to do...

Installation of Sun Directory Server on Home PC - Domain name problem

Hi!
I would like to install SunONE directory server on my home PC but, I am unable to do so because one of the installation steps requires the fully qualified machine name. This is of format <hostname>.<domainname>. My home PC doesnot belong to any domain. Is there any solution to this problem? Is there a default domain name that I can use?
Thanks in advance!

IWeb transfer to another domain name?

I recently purchased a .com name..........from another server.
I would like to transfer my iWeb page to this server but am really getting confused. Is there a simple tutorial or way to do this? I have printed out the tutorial from iWeb and lso from the server, but when it comes down to CNAME, MX Record, A Record, NS Record..........help?
Thank you.

If you have published your site to MobileMe, then you DO NOT need to use ftp in any way shape or form. FTP is only needed if you are uploading your site directly to a hosting account, which you have now said that you do not have, just the domain name.
Also, you ARE NOT trying to forward MobileMe to your domain name - it is the other way around - what you will do if forward your domain name to MobileMe where you site is published.
1. Log in to your MobileMe account under System Preferences and go to where is has Personal Domain on the left hand side and click on this and then where it has enable your domain name, simply enter your domain name here and it will then tell you to go to your domain name registrar and set up CNAME forwarding.
2. Go to where you domain name is (your domain name registrar) and log into your account there and then go to the DNS settings and set up CNAME forwarding.
If you have A records, then you need to delete these and set up 2 new CNAME's, one for www and one for @. The www represents your sub domain, which is http://www.domain.com and then the @ represents your domain name itself which is http://domain.com.
Set up CNAME forwarding for both these so it should look something like this:
www CNAME web.me.com
@ CNAME web.me.com
This is all you need do and your site should then work.
You might have got the correct help here faster if you had stated from the start that you were actually publishing your site to MobileMe.
Also remember, that MobileMe will no longer be here next year, so you will need to get a hosting account from another company, preferably the same company that your domain name is registered with.

Still having problems forwarding a domain name to my iWeb site

I'm still having some issues linking another domain name I own to my existing iWeb site. I forwarded the other domain through my GoDaddy account, but when I try it with www in front of the forwarding name, it directs me to my MobileMe home page. Without typing in the www, the forwarding works just fine.
I must be doing something wrong, but not sure where to adjust things.
Thanks,
Steve Pressman

Steve,
It sounds like your CNAME may not be set up properly. You'll want to make sure your CNAME www is forwarding to @ which will be the host where the domain is forwarding currently without the www. Here is a link with some instructions (see the section on "Adding or Editing CNAME Records": http://x.co/RBCW

Using a domain name email address with BT broadban...

We've just moved over to BT broadband after 17 years with Demon. I have three email addresses - [email protected] and name at mydomainname.co.uk etc - which I have now pointed to my new btinternet.com address, but after three days of chasing my own tail none of my email is arriving in my BT mailbox.
Our domain names are hosted by Freeparking. We don't have mailboxes there. The mail has previously been forwarded to our Demon account successfully - different domain names frowarding to different underlying demon addresses.
Freeparking indicates that it takes about ten minutes to propagate the forwarding change, so after three days i think I can say that I've given it every opportunity. I don't think the problem is with Freeparking's forwarding. I think it's with BT.
Now, the thing is, besides my three addresses which are not forwarding successfully, there's another domain name address (belonging to my husband) which IS forwarding successfully from Freeparking to BT, but this just happens to be the address we gave to BT as a contact email prior to the changeover from Demon.
My husband thinks this all may be something to do with grey-listing and that the reason the three domain names are not being accepted at BT is something to do with the fact that the addresses have not been verified as legitimate. Unfortunately it seems that the only way they can be verified as a legitimate address is by receiving and returning a verification mail from BT. Which is where our circular logic finally disappears up its own tail-feathers. We can't receive and respond because BT is not accepting the forwarded mail and we have no other method of accessing it.
Help, please.
It looks like we are losing all mail currently sent to those addresses - some of which may be significant business mail that we can't afford to lose.
I really don't want to have to change all my various email addresses (one personal, one business and one hobby-related) to the new BT one. I have 2400 names in my address book. Changing addresses would just add to the nightmare.
I feel particularly p155ed off because one of the questions I asked before moving to BT was whether BT accepted domain name addresses forwarded from Freeparking and was told that it wlouldn't be a problem.
Just as amatter of note, I did call the BT help centre and was told that since my main BT address was working (i.e. receiving and sending direct emails) they had neither the obligation nor the training to solve the domain name problem. Well done BT.
Solved!

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
Address verification is not actually needed with respect to forwarding of emails.
Do you have another email address (e.g. hotmail, gmail etc) that you can forward one of the email addresses to ? This can help check it's workiing, despite the other domain working ok.
Forgive me for asking, but can you check that the email you're forwarding to is correctly spelt with numbers, periods etc in the right place - it is easy to make a mistake!
Have you checked the Spam folder in webmail in case all the emails have ended up there ?

WLST setting domain name and ListenAddress attribute

using weblogic 9.2
just getting started with WLST and ran into two issues:
1) want to state the ListenAddress for both the adminserver and application servers with the script below:
cd('Servers/AdminServer')
set('Name', 'adminserver')
set('ListenAddress', 'localhost')
set('ListenPort', 7001)
cd('/')
create('appserver1', 'Server')
cd('Server/appserver1')
set('ListenAddress', 'localhost')
set('ListenPort', 7003)
....however get the error "Property Listen address of Server appserver1 is invalid. The server has the same combination of listen address and (default) port as other server" which clearly isn't the case since the ports listed above are different.
2) second issue is more of a complaint that the domain name is automatically derived from the domain directed in the writeDomain command. want to specify another domain name. is this possible?
thanks / matthew

Ok update changing the hostname in the field does NOT allow me to edit the .local part. In fact it converts Steve.mydomain.net.local to Steve-mydomain-net.local.
But I got my windows workgroup changed and I am showing up with the correct workgroup name from my other servers.
Also, lets say you only have a couple of computers on your home network right? So dedicated dns is kind of overkill especially when most of them are laptops rebooting all the time.
Well, your mac os x box has a hosts file. /etc/hosts as in if you want to edit sudo vi /etc/hosts. So you keep the computers pretty much in sync from those files.
I was afraid the information would not be persistent across a reboot. It was.
So, two out of three ain't bad. I read in the server forum its a pain in the ***. I was almost thinking of doing the hostconfig trick but I saw an Apple bulletin saying do NOT do that.

How to set-up Fully Qualified Domain Name in WIN2k3?

Dear Experts,
Admin, please rederict if this is the wrong forum.
I need to set up a FQDN for our one host demo system running on Windows Server 2k3. How do I set it up (without compromizing our system)? On this host we have ECC 6.0 and GRC running.
We don't have a registred domain.
Kind Regards,
Vit Vesely

Hi,
Set your domain name as FQDN (fully qualified domain name.)
1) start the transaction RZ10.
2) select INSTANCE Profile name where your server name is given.
3) Select Extended Maintenance.
4) Click on change button.
5) Change parameter icm/host_name_full to FQDN
6) Copy your settings with new version number.
7) Activate that version.
8) Restart your WAS (Transaction code SMICM -> Administration Menu).
Check that the following services are active in your ICF setting (transaction code SICF)
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/system
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/public/bc

How make a domain name with BC

I want to make my website with another domain name. (not http://blablabla.businesscatalyst.com but > www.namewhatiwant.com )
How do this change ?
It's possible ?
I don't want redirection...
Because google adwords doesn't want redirection, and doesn't want long name url...
Help me please.
Fabien.

Hi Fabien.
The first domain you listed is not a real domain. It is your development URL. You do not make a domain with BC for your actual domain.
You need to purchase a domain with a domain hosting company in your country, one that you like or is recomended to you.
Then you need to set up the Domain in the hosting company as you want it if you want to use emails etc and just set what is called an A-Record to BC for the web traffic or if you want it all through BC you point everything to it.
Guides on "Going Live" Are found on these forums (do search or look here - http://forums.adobe.com/community/business_catalyst/going_live_users_emails_domains ) and the online BC documentation such as the one here: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/846/cpsid_84622.html

Multipul iweb sites problem with own domain name

hello all
i have currently 2 iweb sites (my own personal one with my own personal domain) and another site which has a podcast for my self and flat mates
the problem comes in this.
if i want to subscribe the podcast to itunes it trys to send it as www.garethmob.co.uk/flat6_band ect where the actuall band website does not sit on my own personal website
is there any way i can fix this by having the origional web.me.com/garethmob ect for one of the websites and the garethmob.co.uk for the other?
both are on my mobile me account
thanks for any help in advance
Gareth

If you have more than on site on your iDisk and go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites, you will see that you have two website folders but only one index.html file.
If the domain name www.garethmob.co.uk (Site 1) is directed at that index.html file then that's the one that must exist in the Web/Sites folder.
When you upload another site (Site 2), its index.html file overwrites the existing one and the URL is then directed to the wrong site.
When you upload changes to the site with the MobileMe URL (Site 2), you must then upload a copy of the index.html file for the other site (Site 1) after doing this.
You can do this by publishing your Site 1 to a local folder and then put the index.html file inside a folder and trash the rest.
After you have uploaded changes to Site 2, go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and upload a copy of the index.html file for Site 1 by drag and drop.

Problems setting a Yosemite domain name account for Send only

What do I do in Yosemite Mail so that my DOT MAC account is IMAP, but so that I can also send email from a domain account that is a POP account at GoDaddy?
My Dot Mac / iCloud account is my primary Mail account. I also have a domain name account that I use only for sending mail. The domain name account is a POP account, not an IMAP account. The domain server (not an Apple server) forwards the email to my Dot Mac account as it comes in, but I do NOT sync mail or even pick up mail from the domain name server.
With Yosemite, Apple apparently changed the way it deals with that situation. I say "apparently" because I'm having a hard time getting help on this. Before Yosemite, I had the domain account enabled, but while there was a password for sending there was no password for picking up the domain name mail. Every once in the while over the years that setup would get flaky (as Apple made changes on its end?) but usually it worked.
I continued that setup with Yosemite, but a few months ago I started having problems. My mail worked as normally, but during the night or the morning, many messages would arrive as unread duplicates, and many emails I didn't want deleted were permanently deleted. Oddly, in addition, I had an easy time keeping the setup on my MacAir but I had a hard time keeping it on my Mac Mini, even though both have Yosemite.
I took my MacAir to an Apple genius who said the settings had changed in Yosemite. He somehow reset the account for Send Only by clicking a box. Everything worked fine for a week or so,* But then I could no longer send domain name mail, I couldn't find the setting, and I went to another Genius, who didn't know what I was talking about and who couldn't solve the problem.
I need to be able to send my domain name account without making it an IMAP account, but can't figure out how.
thanks
* In other words, the Dot Mac IMAP worked correctly, the POP messages forwarded correctly to DOT MAC (without any duplication problems), and I was able to send mail from the domain account.

I've not tested it but if you simply leave the incoming mail server field in the Mail account preferences blank for that account blank but set up the outgoing server and do not check "include when automatically checking new mail" you should be able to send but not receive
OR undo the forward that you have set up from #2 to #1 and use both normally
