Changing Site Name Problem

When I change my site name and upload my published folders to my site the site does not show up and I have to revert to the earlier "site' name. For instance I originally left the name "Site" as the site name and changed, saved, published, and uploaded later to a new site name. The browser could not see the new name and no site was available. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes you can get you're own www.personaldomain.com address. It is very simple to do this and you do not have to take your iWeb site off of the .Mac servers. There are quite a few third party hosts which you can buy a domain from, once you have purchased this domain, you just link it to your web address Apple give you to your purchased domain. Personally I have an iWeb site I've made located at web.mac.com/jgurbisz/iweb but I bought the domain http://www.vacantnewjersey.com from Yahoo Small business and linked it to my .Mac web address. And now when you type in the www. address it brings my iWeb page up.
Just keep in mind that when searching for a Domain Host, that they provide "Domain Forwarding" (almost all hosts do)

Changing Sites' Names

Although I am expecting this to happen, but when it does happen, it's really irritating.
I read in one of the support documents in Apple's Support site, stating that if I want to change the site or page names, I'll have to do it in the site navigation menu and hold down Option key while click Publish All to .Mac. I have 2 sites in my iWeb, both set up to use my personal domain name. I wanted to change the original site names because there were 'space', capital letters, and mandarin characters that appear to be very confusing and difficult.
So after changing both the site names and some page names, I hold down Option key while click Publish All to .Mac. It didn't work for several times, with error message (at first was connection problem, then it just simply showed that there were error, no code no nothing). When it finally worked after several hours of trying, I lost all the comments in my iWeb.
I am wondering if this is how it's supposed to work? I mean, if the comments were supposed to be lost after you have changed the site name, then why in the first place Apple didn't state that?
Another funny thing is, after publishing and noticing that the comments are gone in my iWeb, I emptied cache in Safari and tried to visit the published page. Both the pages are there, of course with no comments. Then I went back to the pages with the old site names, and I can still visit those sites (with the old URLs with capital letters, mandarin characters, etc.) and the comments are there!
I hope someone can help me out with this. Contacting Apple regarding iWeb never solve my problem, and this is really a sad thing. Many thanks in advance!

I've had a similar problem. Lost ALL COMMENTS after changing the site around... very frustrating. I have a backup of my original domain file, and when i open it at first they comments are there, but when I go to publish, they disappear. What's up with this?

Change Site Name, how to announce??

Hi,
currently i've change my Site's Name let say from www.xxxx.com/xxx to www.xxx.com/yyy
instead of announce this changing through email, any other ways to announced it?
when site name is changed, the bookmark will not reganize the URL then...and it'll shown the error page "We 're Sorry, but we can't......" can i make this error as an announcement for the new URL?posible?
Thanks!!!

Add the following code to an HTML snipped in the first page of your old site:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.location.replace('URL TO YOUR NEW SITE');
</script>
This redirects the visitor immediately.
Or you can do a different redirect using this code added post publication to the entry page of your old site:
<script type="text/javascript" src="Redirect_files/Redirect.js"></script>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="10;url=URL TO YOUR NEW SITE">.
Add the above code just before the </head> tag in that page. You can edit the page in the old site so that it just has text telling them that they are being redirected and to remember to bookmark the new site. The "10; number is the number of seconds to wait before redirecton takes place. You can change it to a shorter time, long enough for the visitor to be able to read the message. You can also put a text hyperlink to the new site for those who are too impatient to wait for the redirection.
This demo page uses the latter method and has the code to use.

Change site name in google

Hello,
I have published my site trough iweb on my mobile me account. When I look up my site on google it shows "about". How can I change my sites name?

Is the first page of your site named About? If so change the page title to something else in iWeb and republish.
Or, use the free iWeb SEO Tool to give that page a new title that you would want to show up in the google search.
Click to view full size
It can access the site on your iDisk, add the title tag to the About page and save it. SEO remember the tags it has assigned to each page of your site so it can be easily reapplied with just one click of the button after any edits and republications are made.

Change site name

i've published my iWeb site to a folder on my desktop.
Not to the web yet.
Because for some strange reason, each time i publish (save) my site to
a folder, the folder name always has an underscore at the end.
I did NOT put an underscore at the end of my site name.
On the list inside iWeb, the Site name at the very top does NOT have an underscore at the end.
And my domain name does not has an underscore at the end either.
So I don't know where the underscore at the end of my site name comes from
after I've published to a folder.
It's like this: Before I publish, in iWeb it's www.xxxyyyzzz.com
After I publish to a folder, the folder name is www.xxxyyyzzz_.com
When open the pages in the folder to test how it would look on the web, it has the underscore at the end of the name in the web address bar too. This is weird, I can't figure it out.
I don't know how to fix this except to duplicate the site in iWeb (which does not have an underscore), and publish that one. Maybe it won't have an underscore after published to a folder.
How do i do this without screwing things up.
So, how can I just get rid of that mysterious underscore and I guess change the
name of my site so that it doesn't have an underscore at the end?
Like I said, i haven't published to the web yet, just to a folder in my desktop.
thanks!

sorry, my bad ... i guess i didn't explain it right.
when i said my domain name, I meant the actual name of my website,
when it's on the web. I thought that's called the domain name.
I use this same name, without an underscore, for my site in iWeb, and
i also name the folder that I publish it to the same name.
For example, let's say the name of my actual registered website is www.yahoo.com
so, in iWeb, the Site name on top of the list I've named "yahoo"
And the folder on my desktop that I publish to is also named "yahoo"
But for some reason, when I publish my "yahoo" site to my "yahoo" folder,
the folder name changes to "yahoo_"
I guess what i need to know is it safe to rename the folder that I publish to?
Say, it now has an under score. Is it safe to rename it without the underscore,
or will that screw up anything?

Domain Nam / Site Name Problem

Ok I wish to publish my iWeb content directly to www.DomainName.Com
Instead it publishes to www.DomainName.Com/SiteName
How can I change this stupid issue?
I know I can change the directory permissions on my server to NOT include "mydomain.com" then add mydomain.com as the site name but that is not what I want my published site name to say.

To quote [my blog|http://www.wyodor.net/blog/archives/2010/01/entry_299.html]:
+iWeb organizes and publishes its pages in Sites. It will append the Site name to the base URL of your webserver.+
+If you signed up for a webhosting-and-domainname package (not MobileMe) you can avoid the Sitename in the URL with sub-domains.+
+www in an URL is a sub-domain. Just as web in web.me.com is a sub-domain of me.com.+
+Note : It doesn’t work with MobileMe and Personal Domain. MobileMe doesn’t support sub-domains and the sub-domain in your CNAME will be ignored anyway.+
+Based on my experience to figure out how to avoid the Site name in the URL I wrote an article, or tutorial if you like, on how to do that.+
+In the article I describe what I got and what I did with my free webhosting package.+
+The article describes how I set up iWeb and fooled it to use the sub-domains, what extras needed to be done and what the drawbacks are in the end.+
+And in the very end it describes how I solved the drawbacks and why all of the above wasn’t necessary.+
+iWeb doesn’t know about all this. So you can happily keep publishing your webpages as before.+
+And it works. Having your cake and eat it too. Nice.+
+Below are three URLs. The base URL, the URL iWeb creates, and the sub-domainname URL. When you click a link note the changing of the URLs when it redirects to the right webpage.+

+To test an iWeb Site with a Blog RSS feed and iPhoto/Podcast subscriptions, proceed here :+

+As a bonus there’s a short explanation of how to solve a PHP parse error when you publish an iWeb Site to a 3rd party host with an ill-configured webserver.+

Dreamweaver CS4 - Existing Site Name Changed in Manage Sites

Please help me! I have an existing site name from Manage Sites become slightly different site name from original.
For example, existing site name was fashionstars, now become ftp://fashionstars, with ftp:// in it. ( It happen when I did some try and error approach to do certain task, or press the wrong buttons etc) Is there any possibility to change back to original name fashionstars and how to do it? Otherwise I won't be able to upload files to remote site because of different site name appeared in Manage Sites.
Should I remove the modified site name ftp://fashionstars and recreate a new site name fashionstars and copy all exiting files from local site folder to new fashionstars?
Regards,
SSYYDD

Additional information, I use MacBook Pro to run Dreamweaver CS4. The existing site has 150 MB file size, hundreds of files, so to recreate new site name, it has to start to create all manually, will take a long time. Is there any other ways I can recreate site fashionstars without to start all over again?
I am very worry about this, it may not be able to fix it. My website is stuck, won't be able to upload files any more.
Another problem is that I lost the SITE DEFINITIONS for fashionstars or htp://fashionstars . When I go to Manage Sites to edit site of ftp://fashionstars, it goes to CONFIGURE SERVER, not the SITE DEFINITIONS for fashionstars or ftp://fashionstars. Please help me.
( note that I use the name fashionstars as an example only, not my real site name)
Thank you.

Try clearing your browser's cache and then visit your site again. If you're using Safari, click on the Safari menu and choose +Empty Cache...+

External access broke after site name change

We have external access to SharePoint 2013 behind a reverse proxy using an ADFS server for authentication. It was working fine until I changed our site name and now externally it gives a 500 error. The event log says there is a problem with AAMs, but this
is a host-named site collection. The default URL for the site is correct. What am I missing here?

Hi Benjamin ,
According to your description, my understanding is that after changed the site collection hosted name of a hose-named site collection you encountered error
500 when you wanted to access the site collection from external.
For your issue, please refer to the blog for renaming site collections in SharePoint 2013:

How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address. Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder. That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
It really isn't rocket science!

Having problem with change of name in the datagrid Coding

I am having problem with changing the name of the datagrid header text name for one of the data either in the flash file or the php file.
The thing is i want to change the Course_Name to Course Name that has no underscore so that it will look nicer in the datagrid but if I change it in the php file like SELECT Course_Name as 'Course Name' ....., it will not turn out in the datagrid when I CTRL ENTER the flash file but the others like Price,description and display is shown.
There is no problem with my php code but I do not know how to change the Course_Name into Course Name so please help me resolve this error that I am having.
This is my flash code
function goCourse(e : MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(5);
refreshResponder = new Responder (refreshSuccess, onFault);
connection = new NetConnection ();
connection.connect (gateway);
dataDG.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, gridItemSelected);
refreshData (true);
function gridItemSelected (e: Event): void {
ID = e.target.selectedItem.ID;
courseTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Course_Name;
priceTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Price;
descTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Description;
private function getParams () {
var param: Object = new Object ();
param.ID = ID;
param.Course_Name = courseTxt.text;
param.Price = priceTxt.text;
param.Description = descTxt.text;
return param;
private function refreshData (refresh: Boolean): void {
if (refresh)
connection.call ("Course.viewCourse", refreshResponder);
private function refreshSuccess (result: Object): void {
dataDG.dataProvider = RecordSetDP.toDataProvider (result);
dataDG.columns = ["Course_Name","Price","Description","Display"];
private function onFault (fault: Object): void {
trace (String (fault.description));
This is my php file code.
function viewCourse()
$this->connect();
$sql = "SELECT Course_Name,Price,Description,Display
FROM coursetb";
return mysql_query($sql,$this->_connection);

i don't see where you're calling your php file in your code, but change 'Course Name' to 'Course_Name' (or vice-versa) there.
