Coldfusion 9 Standard w/Multiple Websites and Rackspace

Can I host multiple websites (i.e., with unique IP addresses) on 1 install of CF9 Standard?
I plan to purchase CF9 standard and install it on a Rackspace Cloud Server.
I have about 5 websites I want to port over from a shared hosting environment.
Thanks In Advance,
BlueSpoon

Josh, Carl, and Adam,
Thanks for trying to answer my question.
My question boils down to this: Can I host multiple websites (i.e., each with their own unique IP addresses) on 1 install of CF9 Standard on a single Cloud Site?
According to Carl, this can be configured in IIS so I believe the technical issue is resolved.  So my next issue is if this would be ok with Adobe? Would I be breaking their licensing terms by having 5 (or even 20) sites using 1 install of CF9 Standard on a single cloud site?
My question arrose b/c reading this: http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf9_feature_comparison_matrix_ue.pdf . I interpreted this as multiple sites can only be done wiith CF 9 Enterprise edition.
Thanks in advance for the advice.

Slighty Off Topic But Relevant:
@Josh.. Not sure if you're an Adobe employee, but my questions are valid and legitimate pre-sales questions. I'm just an individual not a large corporation. So before I plunk down $2,000 for CF9,  I need to know if I can legally (and technically) host multiple websites on 1 CF9 Standard license. I'm sure Adobe can afford to hire at least 2 guys to answer questions from budding entrepreneurs and small busineses. At the very least it's good customer service. Even Cisco has a dedicated support team for small business. It's ridiculous that I can't even speak (or even email) someone at Adobe to get at least "yes" or "no" answer.
Individual developers are the lifeblood of coldfusion. If it weren't for guys like Charlie Arehart, Dan Vega, Ray Camden, Ben Nadel, etc I assure you that the CF developer community would be much smaller. Last I checked, Univeristy of Wisconsin has not posted any CF tutorials or trips and tricks.
I've been a Coldfusion fan since 2005. And I've been familiar with it since 1998 while doing contract work with the Fed. So it's like a smack in the face that I am ignored once I'm ready to take the financial risk and pay $2,000 for my own copy of their server software. Developers have other options. Ignoring the devloper base is not the way to go. And that plain sucks. Adobe has really disppointed me. They've let me down.

  • Multiple websites and applications using one user database

    I've got several applications and websites that will be built around one main application. In a perfect situation users will be able to register once and be able to log into the different applications and websites using that single account. The different
    parts will be:
    Main application (Windows application) that uses the account to get access to it's features and to the server.
    Second application with it's own specific tasks (Also a Windows Application) that uses the account to get access to it's features and to the server.
    Main website which is based on Wordpress. The website has a bbPress forum that would use the account.
    Data server which can be accessed for specific data using the account.
    Most of the data that the users have will be the same for the different applications and websites so to me it seems that having a database for each separate part would complicate things more than having one database for everything.
    My main concern is the Wordpress site and bbPress forum because of the fact that these already have their own account systems.
    What would be a valid approach? Using one of the existing databases from Wordpress or the forums with the risk of having a lot of Wordpress/bbPress specific data with the accounts or making a database especially for the other applications and websites and
    somehow linking those to the website and forum databases? Would the valid approach be secure for use by these different applications and websites?

  • Multiple websites and templates

    There it is:
    I have upgraded to iWeb 09 and I have noticed that some of my templates from third parties have disappeared. They are still in resources folder under themes, but not visible when I open iWeb 09.
    Is there a way to get them up and running?
    And...
    Is there a way of designing three different websites which are live at the same time.
    I bought a domain and forward my iweb to it. However I want to build three more separate webs.
    What do I do? I dont understand FTP etc etc...
    Help...

    Did those themes come with installers? If so download them again and try reinstalling (a long shot but give it a try). Make sure you have a backup of the iWeb.app before doing so. If that doesn't work you'll have to wait until the developer updates that theme to be compatible with iWeb 3.

  • Multiple Websites or virtual directories in IIS

    Hi,
    I am kind of confused by the doc:
    http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/plugins/isapi.html#109058
    multiple Websites and virtual directories are totally different things.
    I am assuming here is talking about the virtual directory. But when I tried to follow the steps to set the Application Protection (last step) I got a popup warning says:
    COM+ was unable to talk to the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
    what's that mean? how can I set it?
    Thanks

  • Deploy multiple websites under basic or standard account and charge individually as per site usage.

    Hello Everyone,
    I want to host multiple website under one basic/standard account and charge the individual clients as per their site usage, so my question are:
    Can I host multiple websites under one basic/standard account?
    How can I see billing for each client website or is there any way to check billing per website?
    Can I create co-administrator on the basis of websites so that he can manage only his website?
    Thanks, Dilip

    Hi Dilip,
    Thanks for your posting!
    I am not sure that I totally understand your question. From my understanding, I think you may want to charge the every websites separately by their usage. And the meaning of "host multiple websites under one basic/standard account" is that you
    want to host your multiple website on one basic/standard pricing tier.
    >>Can I host multiple websites under one basic/standard account?
    The answer is yes. Firstly, I recommend you refer to the pricing details (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/websites/). For each pricing tier, all of them have the
    description about the limit of website number. For basic and standard tier, they are no limit of website number. 
    >>How can I see billing for each client website or is there any way to check billing per website?
    Currently, Azure don't support this feature about check every website billing on one pricing tier. But Azure can show every websites usage about every metrics and the consuming information . You could check the usage on the new preview portal. And Azure
    billing item details, I suggest you can see this documents(http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/understand-your-bill/). The billing item don't include every websites
    billing.
    >>Can I create co-administrator on the basis of websites so that he can manage only his website?
    Co-Administrator is users for your Azure subscription. They have the permission for all of your services and included websites service. If you want the user only can manage his website on Azure portal, the one approach is that you can create the new
    subscriptions for each users. They can use their subscription to manage their service. The other approach is that you can use the Azure VM . And you can add the permission for users. And your users can login on VM using RDP.

  • Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • Is SSL and multiple websites possible with Lion Server?

    this is the obligatory apology from a nub here....
    I have not been a sys admin since the days of NT 4.0.
    I like to think that "hey, i might need a touch up here and there, but I think I can find my way around..."  Wrong.
    I have been searching, and reading and searching and reading, and trying everything I can think of..  and I CAN NOT figure out how to get mutliple websites working with Lion Server, using self signed certs 1 for each of my subdomains.
    Has anyone, anywhere (thank you google for returning searches to me from 2004?!?!  More puzzled confusion....)  posted a step by step guide yet??? 
    I have a mac mini, and I have two domain names that are resolving to my exterinal interface on my router just fine, and I have tried what I thought was
    every different possible combination of voodoo, magic, 00000...MoreTestingNeeded.conf, and all the other tricks.
    Is it possible to get ssl and multiple websites working with one IP address? 
    Thanks...

    Thank you very much for your time and input.  My birthday was fantastic! Thanks for asking.
    I found out about SNI while researching an error I was getting in the log.  I really never found any definitive "this is what you need to do", so I was going to get back to it later.
    You probably know this, but Lion Server breaks out all of the virtual hosts into seperate documents in the "sites" directory.   All I do is I launch the server.app, and in the web component, I enter the name of the website that I want to resolve to my server, and I give it the path to the docs.  Thats it.  There is no DNS configuration to speak of, on my part, and I don't believe that its necessary (?) to touch the httpd.conf file at this point yet either, even though I think I hear others saying you do.  (I have no issues with getting into the file and making any changes, I just thought it was interesting.)
    I am still trying to figure out how a user is supposed to add any other types of services LIKE ftp, etc.  I know and use the server admin tools, but I have found that the app really does do its job in terms of creating all the dns records for resolving the sites you create.  I sure hope its not just using the host file, is it? I never see any additional files in the DNS manager, for any of the subdomains.  Where are they?
    Here is the contents of what appears to be the first file read, that is for SSL enabled sites:
    ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
    This is "0000_any_443.conf:"

    So..  my questions are:
    Where in the .confs do I add what I need from your above items?  Would it go each of the site docs that I need?  I am really not sure what apple is doing here.
    I have 4 domain names resolving to my server right now, and subdomains to each of the domains.  So there are a total of about 10 "site" docs, not a big deal to change each, I just wonder if Lion overwrites these docs with each refresh or what? Also, If I try to add a third .com right now it breaks the whole site.
    (Out of conversation, but I just remembered this.  I just had to "quit" out of the server.app.)  When installing the directory server,  it hangs on "getting certificates". The spinning wheel (not the rainbow collered one, but the black one by the words "Getting Certificates") just sits there and spins.  I finally just hit the red X and relaunch server.
    Lastly, you meniton importing the key.  I am using the key manager within the server app.  I am not sure where and how I would make the cert and key you are referring to for the importing?  I have tried to use the key manager in the OS, but I am not sure of the relationship between that key manager app, and the key manager within the server.app.  I have tried to create certs in the keymanager in the OS side, but I do not know how to get them to show up for use in the keymanager in the server.app.
    BTW: Thanks.   Thanks for the help.  I really appreciate it.

  • ColdFusion 8 standard edition?

    Hi,
    We have currently virtually host three website for a client.
    They have just bought their own server and would like to host all
    three sites in-house. Can this be achieved with ColdFusion 8
    standard edition?
    Thanks

    Actually it will allow you to run as many web sites as you
    can cram onto
    as many web servers as you want to run through one ColdFusion
    server.
    If you configure in distributed mode where the web server and
    CF server
    on different machines there is no license limitation on how
    many web
    servers your licensed ColdFusion server is connected. Of
    course
    particle memory, bandwidth and CPU limits will apply, but no
    license
    limitation.
    The confusion between standard and enterprise is that
    enterprise allows
    there to be more then one instance of ColdFusion itself to be
    running on
    the box allowing for various isolation and fail over cluster
    effects.
    But this has nothing to do with how many websites these one
    or more
    ColdFusion servers are working with.

  • How we set up multiple websites on OSX Server

    BACKGROUND
    After fiddling and futzing around for weeks (actually since last year) I've finally figured out how to set up multiple websites (virtual sites) using one port and one IP address. While there seems to be lots of discussion on this topic, it seems that the basic assumption is that one knows everything about websites, DNS and all that stuff, which I do not.
    When our network was originally established the engineer set up a wiki and also configured webmail, so we had two sites, one secured for mail and the other open for Calendar and the wiki. We were not hosting any websites locally because our school website is hosted by a company in New England.
    This year I wanted to set up websites for teachers and students. As great as the wiki is, there are some things it just can't do as well as a website. So I figured if I set up the sites teachers could link back and forth from one to the other. In addition kids could now start to use a real website instead of the cobbled together file mess I had when we ran a Windows network. Also iWeb is a much more accessible tool than FrontPage.
    SERVER SIDE:
    Snow Leopard Server - 10.6.4
    There are two - actually three pieces if you want your iWeb clients to connect to the server: Server Side Web Services, DNS and, in my case, FTP.
    ================================================ SERVER SIDE - WEB SERVICES
    If you haven't turned on Web services, you'll need to open Server Admin and do that. If you don't know how to set up web services - just reply and I'll step you through that as well.
    Once web services are set up and turned on, you'll see it listed under your server’s name in the Server Admin sidebar. Click on "Web" and then click on the "Sites" tab at the top of page. This is where you list all your sites.
    Click the plus button and enter the fully qualified name of your site, for example: "students.myschool.org". Don't use the defaults here (no name) - that's what got me in trouble before. BE SPECIFIC!
    You'll be looking at the "General" tab (the other tabs, "Options", "Realms", etc. we'll deal with in a second).
    On the "General Tab", the default IP address ("any") and port (80) is just fine. We'll run everything over port 80. (Apache figures all the virtual site stuff out - you don't need your rocket science degree for that.)
    "Web Folder:" is important because this is how you'll "segment" your websites. While I would NEVER do this again, we have a solid state hard drive for the OS and a RAID array for our data files. IF you have that, make sure you do NOT use the default "Web Folder" because it will store all your files on your solid state drive. There may not be enough room, over time, on that drive. I've not experienced it yet, but it's my understanding that if the drive fills up, the server shuts down.
    I store my web sites on a folder on the RAID array.
    Everything else on that tab can be left as the default. (Just make sure that you have an "index.html" or "index.php" file in your web folder root, but iWeb will take care of that for you.)
    I would put in your email address in the "Administrator Email:" field.
    Under "Options" you really don't have to put anything. I've tested making websites with iWeb and it doesn't appear that anything needs to be checked.
    Nothing needs to be entered in "Realms" as well from what I see working w/ iWeb.
    The defaults in "Logging" are fine.
    You can leave "Security" alone, but we do have a (self-issued) certificate listed for our webmail site.
    "Aliases" is important. Under "Web Server Aliases" you enter how you want the site to respond to when users type in a URL in their web browsers.
    When our web server was initially set up the engineer set up "wiki.myschool.org" on port 80 and "mail.myschool.org" on port 443. In the aliases section was nothing but a "*" (the wildcard character). That means, from what I can figure out, that the webserver will respond to these sites regardless of what is typed in the URL. (Well, something like that - point is, if you create OTHER websites, you'll NEVER get to them because the wildcard character in the "Aliases" section, in effect, grabs those web requests and redirects them to the sites that are already there.
    In my case I deleted both of those wild card characters. For my "wiki.myschool.org" site, I entered "mail.myschool.org". That means if you type EITHER "wiki." or "mail.", go to the site that’s stored in the “Web Folder” we set up when those sites were created.
    For "mail.myschool.org" I just DELETED the wildcard character. I wanted that site (since it was secured) only to respond to "mail." - nothing else. (You're not going to that secured site for any other reason than to get your mail.)
    "Proxy" can be left blank. Have no idea what that does. As time permits I'll do some research and figure out what it's used for.
    "Web Services" is if you want to provide any MORE services to this particular site. Most likely you'll want to uncheck all the boxes. For our "wiki." site, we have checked "Wikis", "Blogs", and "Calendar". For our "mail." site we have those checked PLUS "Mail".
    I would create a separate "Web Folder" for each of your sites. I don't know if that's a requirement but for housekeeping purposes, I would keep the sites separated. And I SUSPECT that it's "best practice" to separate your wiki from your other websites.
    SERVER SIDE - DNS
    OK...now you have to make your site reachable and the only way to do that is to set up DNS so that folks don't need to type in the IP address of your web server. You need to set up DNS inside your network and, if you want folks in the outside world to reach your website, you'll need to set up an external DNS as well. I'm going to cover INTERNAL DNS - if you don't know how to set up EXTERNAL DNS - reply or email me and I'll post those instructions.
    Most likely you have already created Zones for you network...all you really need to do is create "Aliases" so that when you type "students.myschool.org" your web browser will know that site resides on IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.
    If you've set up Zones then you already have a "Machine" setting that translates your server’s name to an IP address and vice versa.
    All you need to do is create an "Alias" (CNAME) record for, in this case, "students". You’ll see the choices for types of records when you click the "Add Record" button.
    There are only two fields to configure for a record: "Alias Name" - in this case "students" and "Destination" - in this case "servername.myschool.org". (You've already entered a machine record that says "servername" = 192.168.1.x.)
    That's it for Internal DNS.
    SERVER SIDE - FTP
    Now you have to get iWeb to communicate with the webserver.
    There are only three ways iWeb will communicate with webservers: MobileMe, Local Folder and FTP Server.
    Local Folder is really only practical if you want to host a website on a laptop (I was blown away initially when I found out that all Macs had a built-in web server - how neat is that?). I think there are some very cool things teachers could do with configuration, and, of course, you wouldn't need to set up any web services on the web server, but that's for another discussion. You need to set up FTP services on the web server.
    Turn on and enable FTP on your webserver.
    You can leave the defaults for "General", "Messages" and "Logging". "Advanced" is the only thing you want to set. I set "Authenticated Users See:" to "Home Folder Only". I set the "FTP Root" to the same root folder in which I plan to store my web sites (/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents). This setting sets that folder only to be accessible via FTP.
    I would suggest returning to your DNS settings and adding one more "Alias". Set "ftp." to point to your webserver. Why? So folks can edit their sites from home (see below).
    CAVEAT: If you are running FTP on other servers, make sure that the settings here do not conflict with the settings on the other servers. For example, I'm running FTP on my file server so that my scanners can communicate with it. However, I configure my FTP settings by machine name and NOT "ftp.myschool.org".
    ================================================
    CLIENT SIDE - CONFIGURING iWEB
    Now you have to configure iWeb so that it will communicate with your server.
    Click on the "Site" icon so that "Site Publishing Settings" appears.
    Publishing:
    "Publish to:" = "FTP Server"
    You can set the "Site name:" and "Contact email:" to whatever you want. But see below!
    FTP Server Settings:
    "Server address"=ftp.myschool.org (you could also enter in servername.myschool.org or the IP address. However, if you want folks to be able to work on the site from home, you will need to configure external DNS for that. If you use the IP address, you're out of luck for remote access to the site. (You can do it but it's beyond the scope of this discussion.)
    "Username" & "Password" should be your user's network login credentials.
    "Directory/Path" - this is important. Remember, you set your "FTP Root" to be "/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents". If you leave this field blank then the website will be dumped into this folder. If you are only setting up one site, that may be OK. However I wanted to set up a "students" site folder, a "faculty" site folder and a separate site for our literary magazine.
    THEREFORE: I have, in my ..../Documents folder (on the server), a "students" folder, a "faculty" folder, and a "litmag" folder.
    SO...in my "Directory/Path:" field, I have "/faculty". That means the full path to this website is "ftp root/faculty" or "/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents/faculty" (You don't need a trailing "/" character. iWeb will automatically append the folder for you user depending on what you entered in "Site Name:" in the "Publishing" area.
    Website URL:
    This is the root website depending on whether it is "students" or "faculty". Since iWeb will append the site name to this root website, I accomplished what I hoped to accomplish in this post (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12288561#12288561).
    Faculty sites will be @ http://faculty.myschool.org/username. Students @ http://students.myschool.org/username. PERFECT!
    iWeb is such a GREAT tool - NOW the kids can start using it!
    I want to reiterate that this works for our school but it should work for you as well. There may be better ways to do this but it works for us.
    Hope this has been helpful and you won't have to spend weeks trying to figure this all out by yourself!

    OK...here's how we did it.
    To get access to the website you created from outside your network there are a couple of steps.
    First, you have to have a STATIC IP address from your ISP. If you have a T1 circuit, no problem...you usually get a couple of static IPs you can use. However, if you have a cable modem circuit, most likely you have a dynamic IP address which changes when you connect to the internet. Usually a static IP will cost a bit more because the ISP has to go through a couple of steps to set it up for you. But once you have the address, you now have a way for folks outside your network to connect with you.
    (I’m also assuming that you use a router of some sort through which traffic flows out to the internet and that you aren’t using connection sharing or something like that.)
    The next thing you need to do is have your new static IP address associated with the server on which you are hosting your website. You've probably already done that if your website works inside your network. However, you've associated a private ip (192.168.x.x, etc.) to your web server. That doesn't mean anything to folks on the outside because private IP addresses are just that - private - folks can't access them. (I won't get into VPN because that's a whole other topic.)
    The way you associate your new static IP address to your web server is through some sort of dns application from your ISP. For example, we use TierraNet to manage our external DNS information. They have a web interface control panel that is very similar to the DNS interface for XServer. You can create CNAME records (aliases - other ways that folks can access your servers).
    Basically you create an "A" (CNAME) record with a fully qualified domain name (e.g. webserver.myschool.org) and point it to your public IP address (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) which you just got from your ISP. It's going to take a while (24-48 hours) for this change to take effect. BTW, you can create as many “A” records as you want. For example mail.myschool.com and wiki.myschool.com could point to the same place.
    You want to make sure that the fully qualified domain name you enter in the external dns utility matches the name you used when you created your internal dns records on your XServer.
    OK...so now folks can get to your domain - but, remember, you have a private network IP scheme between them and you. You now have to tell your router that when web traffic arrives, allow it inside the network and direct it to your web server.
    Let's say your public IP address is 205.100.112.50 and your web server is 192.168.0.5.
    You have to create, in your router’s "Security Zone" (router companies call them different things) a couple of rules. Usually the first rule is: "Let everything inside the network get out to the web." You've probably already done that if folks inside the network can reach the internet.
    You then have to tell the router to allow web traffic (port 80) into your network AND redirect that traffic to 192.168.0.5.
    We use AdTran routers and they have a web interface which allows you to write "rules" affecting public and private traffic. Public is folks outside the network, private is folks inside.
    AdTran calls them "Security Zones" and you modify those zones with policies.
    So my "Policy" would say, in the above example, redirect traffic from my public IP (205.100.112.50) -> to my web server -> (192.168.0.5).
    THEN you have to modify this policy with what AdTran calls "Traffic Selectors". You've said, OK, you can get in, but WHAT can get in?
    The "Traffic Selector" is written to say: "Permit" "TCP" traffic from 205.100.112.50 only through Port 80. (That's the port that web traffic goes over. If you wanted a secure website, you'd add another traffic selector that opens port 443, for example.)
    I'll tell you I'm no genius when it comes to this. I called AdTran and had them configure my router for me. I told them what I wanted done, they remoted into the router and configured it. But then I could go to the web interface and see what they did and then added rules later on when I wanted, for example, to get access to the network via Apple Remote Desktop or VPN into the network on my iPad.
    I'd bet that your router has a maintenance agreement that includes this service and if it doesn't it should have.
    I did find that I still had issues when I tried to set this up originally and it had to do with the ORDER of the policies. I can’t remember exactly what the issue was, but, effectively one of the policies highjacked traffic before the policy that I wanted got triggered. Simply moving them around in the list fixed that issue. So if you have this set up but still can’t access the site, check the order of your rules.
    I don’t know if that helps or not, but I try to think about this stuff conceptually and then get someone to help me with the details. I work with this stuff so infrequently that I forgot how I did something 6 months or a year ago. I’m in the process of creating a wiki for the school which documents all this stuff, but that’s a major undertaking.

  • Multiple websites, multiple woes: Best IWeb 09/MobileMe strategy?

    I'm still a bit confused as to the best strategy for using IWeb 09's much-touted-in-reviews but apparently rather limited ability to publish to two or more separate MobileMe accounts.
    In IWeb 08, I would set up several different user accounts on my Mac, associate each one with a separate MobileMe account from my Family Pack, and maintain separate domain files for each (all stored in the same folder on my hard drive, but given different names like "Domain_personal" or "Domain_business"). This worked fairly well, despite the inconvenience of sometimes not having a photo I wanted to use readily available, as it might be part of an IPhoto library that belonged to another account.
    (I would generally log-in to the user account I wanted to use and work on the MobileMe domain file I had "assigned" to that account. But now and then I might forget, and start working on a domain file for the "wrong" Mac user account. That didn't seem to be a problem -- I could still save my latest changes, log out and then log in to the "right" user account, where I could publish my revised domain file to the intended MobileMe account.)
    But in IWeb 09, my previous strategy is resulting in a slew of problems. Unexpected crashes. Or IWeb refusing to save a file after I've changed it (it just tells me the file cannot be saved, no explanation). Or images and/or video files that will suddenly go missing. Last night I found that one domain file/site I had published over and over with no problems in Iweb 08, now appeared to be a complete mess in IWeb 09 -- numerous missing images, including some png files that are apparently part of the Apple-supplied IWeb design template. Yet the graphics (mine and Apple's) were suddenly back when I opened that same domain file in another user account on my Mac.
    So my IWeb 08 strategy does not seem to be working in IWeb 09. I guess an alternative would be: Do all my IWeb work in the same user account, swap domain files as I'd been doing before, and reset my MobileMe identity for that user account every time I want to publish. Or -- essentially the same thing -- use IWeb's ability to maintain multiple sites in the same domain file. But once again, I'd typically need to manually change my MobileMe identity to a different account at publishing time, to get an individual site going to the right place. And hope like heck that I don't accidentally mess up ICal, etc., by accidentally syncing to "wrong" Mobile Me account, to which I've logged in solely to accommodate IWeb.
    Am I missing something here? Is there some logical reason why Apple would set up IWeb 09 to allow you to publish multiple sites, stored in one domain file, to various multiple external sites via FTP with ease? But make it essentially impractical to publish to several different MobileMe accounts, without the hassles I've mentioned?
    It seems to me that if I want to use IWeb 09 for multiple web sites, the only sane thing is to drop my extra MobileMe accounts as soon as possible, and add some more external sites --- since (if you can do the RSS, etc., yourself) Apple has just made it so much easier to publish to anywhere-else-but-MobileMe.
    Anybody have a different take on this? Or a better solution?

    The following may not be a better solution, but it does provide a different "take". I haven't tried it myself, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a fatal flaw in the idea. Anyway, taking that risk...
    Since we don't know what, in iWeb '09, is causing your "slew of problems", it's not possible to say whether this proposed approach would make any difference. But in theory it would enable you to:
    • maintain your separate Domain files
    • publish to your multiple MobileMe accounts
    • from the same user account on your Mac.
    Take a look at this Apple doc:
    MobileMe: How to publish a custom website
    The idea is to publish your iWeb sites to different MobileMe accounts from a single Mac user account as +"custom websites"+ and, as that doc says:
    "If you only plan to publish custom sites to your MobileMe account, you can make your site's URL shorter by placing your site (and its main index.html file) in the main Web/Sites folder instead."
    ...Presumably iWeb 09's integrated non-MobileMe publishing is FTP only, not WebDAV that iDisk requires. So you would need the free Cyberduck or pay for Transmit to publish your sites via WebDAV protocol to a MobileMe account's iDisk. And for a Domain you are about to publish, you would have to remember to use the appropriate MobileMe "destination" of the several you've set up to use in Cyberduck or Transmit.

  • How to use IWEB for multiple websites?

    Okay.
    I have two websites. One on a 3rd party, one on .MAC.
    Computer 1 = .MAC website
    Computer 2= 3rd party website
    I want to use computer 2 to edit my .MAC website and moved the DOMAIN file but haven't open it in iWEB on the second computer as I need to know how to open and not destroy the 3rd party website.
    How is this done?
    Thanks.

    You can rename the domain file to something descriptive of the site and open them manually. But I find it much safer to use iWebSites for managing multiple sites, over 25. I use iWebSites to manage 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.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

  • Can I make the parameter supports multiple selection and editable at the same time?

    Hi, 
    I am building my report using SQL Server Report builder 3.0. All the parameters are added to the report
    by the builder. When the user access the report by browser, he can change the parameter value and click "view report" button to load the report from the database.
    For one of the parameter, I want to provide user the ability to select frequently used value as multiple
    selection, and meanwhile let them able to edit the value if the preloaded selection doesn't contain what he wants.
    Is it possible to archive this goal using report builder?
    Thanks!

    You cant have this functionality using standard report viewer. An approximate work around can be implemented as follows.
    Have two parameters one based on your current parameter values (dropdown) and another one without any available values set and default set to NULL (Set Allow Null value property and pass Null as default value). This parameter will appear as disabled textbox
    with NULL checkbox checked. 
    Now in your code behind which gives you first parameter's values Add one more value say <None Of Values> and set value as some default value (-1 if int or just a random string value).
    Now in the value for second parameter set a expression like below
    =IIF(Parameters!FirstParam.Value ="<Select None>","",Nothing)
    This will make sure second parameter gets activated when you select option <none> from first. Then you can type the value you want in it
    In query behind just make filter like below
    WHERE field = CASE WHEN @Param1 <> '<None>' THEN @Param1 ELSE @Param2 END

  • How do I print multiple PDFs AND fit them to my paper size?

    Hi,
    I'm using a 24 inch wide plotter with roll paper. I want to be able to print multiple PDFs  AND fit them to a specified paper size. I can print one page and fit it to the paper, but I can't do it with multiple PDFs.
    For example, I have two PDFs that are only 8x8 inches. I want to print them side by side on a 24 inch x 12 inch page size and fit them to size and then FIT them to the page size so the end result will be 2 PDFs printing at 12 x 12 side by side.
    I can't seem to be able to do this. I'm sure I was able to do this using earlier versions. As it is, I have to print one at a time and waste half of my roll paper size.
    Any help?
    Adobe Acrobat Pro, Windows 7 Proffesional, HP Designjet 111 roll fed plotter.
    Thanks
