Can I publish a site to a non-.mac domain?

I am a real new mac user, less than a week. I just got a power mac G4. I bought iLife, and set up a web site. I have had my own domain for a few years now. I published my site to my .mac account, and pointed my domain to it. The domain is www.hanklambert.com. My question is can I also create sites for others who have their own domains (my mother) and publish it directly to her hosting domain? If so, where can I find out how to do that.
Thanks in advance,
Hank Lambert

Yes, you can. But to keep things simple, I would suggest that you create multiple accounts on your computer to publish the different sites. That way you don't run into issues with two or more sites in the same Domain file, switching Domain files, etc.
Just create a new login account to your computer...say, for your Grandma's site. Open up iWeb there and you should see a blank slate. Once you have her site designed, just publish to her .Mac account or "publish to a folder" and you can FTP it to her webhost if she doesn't have .Mac.
The whole point is to keep your site separate from other sites that you might design. The easiest thing would be to have a different user account for each site if you are going to be administering these sites regularly.

I can't publish my site to a local folder.

I can't publish my site to a local folder. It says "Publish Error. An unknown error occurred". There is also no Domain.site2 in iWeb folder in Application Support. I was wondering if anybody may be able to help please? I can open the site from the local folder but working on changes will not work and some catagories don't show properly. I'm using Snow Leopard, iWeb 3.0.4. OS X 10.6.8

Are you looking in the correct library. You want the Home () /Library/Application Support folder.
Or you can download and run the shareware Find Any File to search for "domain.sites2". FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't and will find the domain file.

Using iWeb to publish to a non.mac domain

Can I use iweb to develop a web site and publish to a domain that is not .mac?
Or can I host a non.mac domain on .mac?

Can I use iweb to develop a web site and publish to a
domain that is not .mac?
Yes, you can. But not directly from iWeb. You will develop your pages in iWeb but the choose the "Publish to Folder" option. This will put all the files necessary for your website in a folder on your hard drive. You will then need to use an FTP program to upload the site files to your 3rd party web host.
Or can I host a non.mac domain on .mac?
Yes, you can also do this. You can do your pages in iWeb and then "Publish to .Mac". Then you can use "Domain Forwarding" available from your registrar or some other redirecting html to forward people who type in your domain name to you .Mac iWeb URL.
Either method will work fine. You will lose out on .Mac specific features (like slideshows, counters, passwords, comments, search) if you host your pages on a 3rd party web host. Also you lose the ability to do incremental uploads (uploading only changed pages) directly from iWeb if you're not using .Mac.
Good luck to you. If this has been useful information to you, please do me a favor and click the "solved" or "helpful" buttons in the title bar of this reply. Thanks.

Publishing to non mac domain

Hi All;
I own a non .mac domain and need to know if I can publish there from iWeb. How is this done and how do I update pages & blog?
Many thanks,
Susan

When you have a site on two different servers it might be helpful to have each site in its own domain file. I use iWebSites to manage the multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

Non .MAC domain

I have not purchased iWeb yet but hav ethe following question. I havae a current domain with email, etc. Can iWeb publish directly to my current domain or do I need to have a .MAC account?
Thanx,
Don C

iWeb cannot publish directly to a non .mac domain. You have to get it to 'Publish to folder' first, then you upload it yourself to your domain using an FTP client. No problems.

How can I publish iWeb site in root directory in place of a prior site?

Hi there... I have created a family web site and published it to my .mac account. The problem is that I had previously published another site and that site remains in the 'root' directory of my account. Practically, this means that if anyone types in:
web.mac.com/[username]
... they will get my old site instead of the site i wish them to see... Is there any way I can move my new site so that typing the more simplified 'root' address (above) will bring up the site I wish for them to view?

Do you have both sites in iWeb together? If so, then simply look in the Site Organizer, select the site that you want to come up by the short URL and drag it to the top of the organizer. iWeb will make whatever site is at the top of the Site Organizer the default site. You should probably do a "Publish ALL to .Mac" after doing this so that all the files are in the right place. So once you do this you can access the default site with the short URL http://web.mac.com/yourname and then you can access the second site by using its URL directly... http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/sitetwoname You could also provide links from site one to site two and vice versa to "link" the two sites together.

IWeb error messages -- can't publish large site after upgrade.

I just upgraded to iLife 09 and all of my websites showed up red in the new iWeb - indicating that they needed to be published. I hadn't changed any of them since the upgrade but I figured it was part of the upgrade to republish all of them.
Whenever I try to publish the sites I get the following message:
An error occurred while publishing file “/private/var/folders/pM/pMWBd0yEF04cfDIeAZkuPE+TI/TemporaryItems/com.apple.iWeb7281_TEMP_288612390_15/sites/JW/Things_and_Such_files/shapeimage2.png”. Try publishing again later.
I've tried all the usual suggestions. I threw away the preferences files and cache files for iWeb. I logged out of MobileMe and logged back in. I tried to publish from an older version of my Domain file from Time Machine. If I tell it to publish the site to my desktop then it works just fine. The site that it has problems with creates a 179MB folder on my desktop when I publish to my desktop. The other two sites that I have in iWeb publish perfectly in MobileMe but are not bigger than 3 MB each.
I tried moving parts of the larger site out of it, publishing the significantly shrunken page and then adding the rest back in smaller pieces. It will publish the smaller selection with no problem. It won't let me add the pieces back in, however. IWeb freezes up when I try and I have to reload the previous Domain file from Time Machine.
So, my question is: Is there a limit to the size of site that can be published using iWeb? If so how do I get around this?

Reboot fixed it.

IWeb '08: Can I publish to sites other than .Mac?

I'm new to using a Mac but I was wondering if iWeb can be used to publish to sites hosted by other servers like godaddy or something similar?

Yes. Publish the site to a folder and then upload the files as instructed by the host.

Can't publish my site; keep getting 'Disk Error'

Hi!
After bringing my original site into '08, I can publish the site. Then if I change anything on my blog page or add entry, I get a variety of results. Sometimes it will publish and sometimes I get the message "Disk Error". I've tried starting from my '06 file, updating it and still eventually get this same message. I have run the Disk Utility, pitched the pref file, run Tech Tool Pro and defragged and optimized the hard drive. And then, tried starting from scratch again without being able to publish. I realize that my file is probably damaged, but I want to make sure there is nothing I can do before starting all over on the website since it is large with lots of pix, movies and blogs.
thanks!

Thanks for the sympathy! I do have a question. The damaged file is my primary website. I had separated it from a second website after updating to iWeb 08. The second site publishes fine. I want to keep the URL for the second website exactly as it is because I have forwarding set up with a host other than dotMac. How should I go about setting up a new site?
Thanks for all your help.

How can I publish separate sites to individual MobileMe accounts?

Running iWeb 08 which my husband and I have used to create our own websites. I have my own Mobile Me account and he has his own Mobile Me account. At the moment when either of us update our website we can only publish them both so on my Mobile Me account I have the links and info for his website and vice versa on his Mobile Me account.
Is there a way that I can we can publish only our own websites to our own Mobile Me accounts?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The easiest way I can see is to each of you have your own account on the Mac. That way each can publish to their own MMe account. Copy the domain.sites2 file to each account. Open the file and delete the site that is not for that particular MMe account. Do the same in each Mac account.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
