Can't access my website created through iWeb due to reinstalling OSX

G'day people
I had to reinstall OSX and as a consequence, when I start iWeb it tells me I don't have a site and wants me to start a new one.
My site is still online, I can go to it through the URL, I just can't figure out how to be able to access and modify it through iWeb.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Al

Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around.
You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over. Sadly, many many people learn this the hard way. Sounds like you have too Sorry
I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). Click here to download it or visit http://iweb.varkgirl.com for more info. The app will make a .zip file of your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and save it to a location of your choosing.
Then check out Mozy for an online place to store your backups - I just found this and it seems great. They just recently released a Mac friendly version of their app - it automates the upload and encryption. You select the files you want to backup and it does the rest. You can set it to upload automatically after so many minutes of inactivity or once a day. It does it all in the background so you don't have to worry about it! 2GB of storage are free - plenty of room for most people's iWeb Domain.sites backups!

    How can I save a website created on iweb, but that I no longer have it saved in my computer, so I can open it in my new computer  with iweb
    and republish it on another server, since mobile me would be gone on jun 2012.

    You need the Domain.sites2 file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder in order to be able to manage and publish the site from another computer?
    Do you have that file? If you do copy it to the same folder on the other computer and you're ready to go.
    If not then you'll have to recreate the site from scratch.  Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site. 1

  • How to access my website created with iWeb after hard drive replacement

    I recently had my hardrive fail and it was replace with a new one. It just happened to be the only computer I used to create and update my website. I lost some photos that are on my website, but there are 1 or 2 photo pages that I can't download them back to my computer from. Is there another way to get them from the .mac server to my computer? I hesitate to create a new iWebsite for fear of losing the one that has the photos I want. Thanks

    You should be able to access any of the files on the Idisk.
    You will need to construct a new site and in the future you should backup the "domain" file located in your user library/application support/iweb.
    If you had that file you would not have lost anything.

  • How can i delete a website made in iWeb from MobileMe but not from iWeb

    The problem is that I have made changes to several pages (almost all of them) on my site and since the changes my site no longer displays correctly in Internet Explorer.
    I have looked in the IE CSS file and the CSS file for IE is completely messed up and would take a long time to correct by correcting the code for every page, so I decided just to delete the whole site from MobileMe and then republish it as a new site, rather then as an altered site.
    The problem is I don't want to delete the site from iWeb, because it has took me months to build it and I don't want to have to start again. I just want to delete the site from MobileMe, so I can republish it as a new site (and hopefully correct the screwed up code).
    So how can I delete a website created in iWeb and published on MobileMe from MobileMe without deleting it from iWeb.
    Huge thanks
    Jay

    Hey thanks for your reply, unfortunately I have already tried to delete my site from iDisk >> Web >> Sites. But it said that i didn't have permission and it wouldn't delete the files.
    I am loged in as an Admin and I still cant delete them
    Thanks again

  • Can't access my website through safari through linksys modem

    I've just spent 6 hours with linksys support and all we could make work is Internet Explorer. But I mainly work on a Mac, which doesn't have IE and I'd much rather work with safari.
    Here's the problem.
    I have a bunch of websites all hosted under the same shared hosting account. At first I could access them while wirelessly connected to linksys router. Then the connection got very slow and eventually, I couldn't access my websites anymore. I could access all other website. In fact, I'm connected wirelessly and I can reach that forum, but I can't access my websites in that hosting account.
    EVERYONE ELSE can access my websites though. And I can go anywhere else which has wireless connection and I can access my websites. So they're up.
    I can also connect my computer directly to the modem and access my websites. It's only when I'm connected to the linksys wireless router that I can't.
    So the idea was the problem is with linksys. I spent 6 hours with linksys support and all we could do is make it work on my PC with I.E. by selecting the following option: Internet options --> connections -->LAN settings --> and check "automatically detect settings.
    How do I do that with Safari?? Any suggestions?

    Hi Rick,
    It's not a mac problem. I am able to access my router i.p address with safari.
    The problem that I have is with the Mac AND my PC. They both cannot access my WEBSITES that are all located in one hosting account using Safari. For example, I can't access www.bullseye-promotions.com using safari or Firefox.
    *What I need to figure out:*
    it work on my PC with I.E. by selecting the following option: Internet options --> connections -->LAN settings --> and check "automatically detect settings.
    How do I do that with Safari?? Any suggestions?
    *A better explanation of the problem:*
    HERE IS THE CONFUSING PART... I can access my websites through a linksys wireless router outside my home. The problem occurs only in my home. I bought a new linksys router but the same problem remains.
    Even when I hardwired through the linksys, I still can't access my websites that are hosted in that particular shared hosting account, except with I.E.
    sometime I gain temporary access but then I loose it again. I think the linksys support guy told me it's about linksys giving the right public I.P address, or something like that.

  • Unable to view error for website created on iWeb

    We have hosted a website created on iWeb. When we access the site we often get the following error message. We contacted the hosting company, but they asked us to make the changes on the web pages as suggested in this error message in order to be able to view the actual error. Only then will they be able to help us out. Can someone help us incorporate these changes in our web pages.
    Thanks

    Server Error in '/' Application.
    Runtime Error
    Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
    Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
    <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
    <configuration>
    <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>

    Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

    <configuration>
    <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
    </configuration>

    In my first posting (just below my name) I've quoted the entire content of the error message that pops up. But it only pops on certain occasions, it doesn't happen every time. The other curious fact is that this message does not give you the actual error. It only tells you to make certain changes in your script so that you can view the error remotely. Therefore, until we are able to make these changes in the script or html code for the web page, we won't be able to know the actual error. When I tried to view the code or script of my web page, I didn't find a place where I could make these changes. Can you help me in this respect?
    BTW I was trying to study the pattern of these error messages and I think I've found a correlation. However, I'm not sure if that could be a valid reason. It seems like every time I update my website, people get these error messages until about 3-6 hours after each of these updates. Once a reasonable time has elapsed after the update, the site seems to be working fine. Could it be due to a conflict between the older & newer versions of the web page being simultaneously resident on the site for a while after the update. Or could it be due to the change in the index file? Pl comment.
    Thanks

  • Can't access several websites after last security update

    Hello,
    After upgrading both my Macbook Air mid 2011 and iMac 2008 (with SSD) both running Mountain Lion 10.8.4 to the last security fix, I can't access from any of those two computers a variety of websites, for example:
    www.opennicproject.org
    www.gentoo-el.org
    www.adslgr.com
    These are only three. Almost half of Google's results are blocked. Using the terminal utility I am able to resolv some of them but not actually 'ping' them. I get no ping replies. I can access all these websites from other computers or devices (iPhone/iPad/Ubuntu desktop/WindowsXP laptop) on the same LAN. This problem exists only in the 2 macs  which are up-to-date. I am sure that this problem is related to latest security update I did a couple of days ago, to both computers.
    I'd like to know if anyone who have all patches installed up to the latest OSX version (mountain lion 10.8.4) has the same issues and can ping/resolv/access these websites.
    Note that although I can't access these websites directly using any direct network connection, I can access them using TOR browser bundle for mac, which means that something is going on at a computer level.
    I have checked so far:
    - Applicationn Apple's firewall is not creating the problem (disabled/enabled all)
    - ipfw/PF is not running with any ruleset
    - LittleSnitch blocks just a couple of annoying outgoing connections. Nothing there (I disabled/enabeld it, same thing).
    - Other computers access the websites/ping them/etc.
    - I can access websites using TOR.
    NOTE: It's not just 3 websites, it's something like 1 out of 3 DuckDuckGo links.
    Ideas and thoughts are welcomed!
    Best Regards,
    PA

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

  • My website created with Iweb and hosted on mobileMe is not showing well on all computers. What could be the problem ?

    My website created with Iweb and hosted on mobileMe is not uploading well on all computers. What could be the problem ?

    I got a chance to look at it on a PC.  Totally hosed up. It loads incorrectly then parts of it go blank.
    I have a site that is based very much on one of the built-in templates and it works fine on the same PC.  It contains only text boxes, image placeholders, and images with "picture frame" borders.  Nothing fancy, no overlays, no extra code or anything. I haven't looked much at the other templates so I don't know if yours is mostly a template or how much you may have modified one or what tricks you may have done to get the look you wanted.  Whatever it is, IE does not like it.  Unfortunately, you can't really ignore them as was suggested; they make up a large part of your audience.

  • What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb (Rumoured)?...

    What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb as is rumoured... they will be lost?

    To tell you te truth We should should've all expected this...
    With no new updates to iWeb in a good couple of years, even though it's an amazing piece of software enjoyed by million. It upsets me no end to see apple continually doing this and what have they done exactly? Left goodness knows how many customers worried and uncertain about a product they love and rely on, I do anyway.
    One of the main reasons I have a Mac isn't only the build quality and the OS, although that does have a fair amount to do with it. The main reason for me moving to Apple and investing in a machine all those years ago was iWeb, being a creative control freak, I love to be able to get out my Mac, open iWeb and in minutes create a new launch page for a new mix, upgrade some of my services a customers asked for, recreate any aspect of how I present myself to people at a click of a button... I know you can upload to FTP server but phooey, why damage a good thing.
    This as annoyed me no end... so I'll not doubt I'll be taking it out on an Apple employee tomorrow when I take back my blown power pack for my MacBook pro, my third one in 8 months... I sign of the way apple is going?
    PS as for iOS 5 ... Seriously underwhelmed, we've been given features 90% of which should have been launched in iOS3!.. Oh, although I can't handle windows anymore, have you see. The new Windows 8 layer? Watch out Apple, he's behind you

  • Can't access any websites! :(

    Hi all, I've been on BT Infinity for a month or so now and have been experiencing the same issue with one of my PCs. It connects to the HomeHub via Ethernet and runs Windows XP SP2. I can RD into it fine and FTP works too, as does HTTP! However, I can't access any websites at all. No other device connected through wireless has this issue. Initially I was using a static IP address because of port forwarding but the HH uses MAC addresses so I reverted back to DHCP. That aside, I've tried alternative DNS servers, flushdns and winsock resets and tools. These work for a few minutes then all of a sudden the websits stop appearing again! I'm very frustrated and would really appreciate some help as the BT Support team can't understand what I am saying! 
    Many thanks!

    You have to add the DWORD MaxNegativeCacheTtl yourself, and give it a value of about 5.
    If you read the article its says that none of the DWORDs normally exist.

  • Can't access certain website(s) now-

    Has anyone else ever had trouble loading a website with Verizon wireless? I am having trouble loading two, these websites are linked. I have tried cleaning out my cache and bookmarks. The problem started when we had a prototype website done for us, and then the webmaster changed to a "new" website address for this. I cannot access the website with the new address, only the old one. I also cant directly access the linked to other website now. tMy wife can't access these website either, even though she has a PC and I have a Mac, so we thought it must be the ISP.

        Hi community,
    We want this device trouble to fixed for everyone so every site can be accessed. This 890L device is a 4G product that has had a glitch found while connected to 3G. We have found that while connected to 3G service, these sites are all accessible. Can anyone confirm if this has been tested and verified to be the case? If so, we have a fix to get the 4G connection to have the sites work too. If this issue happens while on 3G as well then we need to open an investigation ticket for that specific line.
    The fix for those that have access to the sites on 3G is below. Please follow the directions below to install a software patch onto their computer. This patch changes the default MTU size from 1500 to 1428 which is acceptable on the network without the need for fragmentation. Please use the appropriate link based on the operating system.
    Windows based `Set MTU Size` tool: http://production.4510.verizon.mifiupdates.com/Windows/MiFi4510LSetMTU_Win.zip
    Mac OS X based `Set MTU Size` tool: http://production.4510.verizon.mifiupdates.com/Mac/MiFi4510LSetMTU_Mac.zip
    Linux based `Set MTU Size` tool: http://production.4510.verizon.mifiupdates.com/Linux/MiFi4510LSetMTU_Lin.zip
    Once the zip file is downloaded, go through the below steps. Windows XP users will be prompted to do a reboot.
    Unzip SetMTU_Win.zip
    Double click on SetMTU.exe
    Select value (default 1428)

    how do I transfer a website created on iweb from one macbook pro to another

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Once you get the domain.sites file copied from your old Mac to the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your new Mac follow this:
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
