Domain name and iweb - masking url?

i have a domain name and want to use it for my website i created on iweb - is there a way to mask the url so when people type in my domain name they are directed to my iweb site??

Just go to the whatever place has your domain name and ask them or search in their FAQ or Help for how to do Domain Forwarding and Masking.

Domain name and iweb not working 100%

I’m a real novice.I made a site using iweb 09.with a domain name bought from fasthosts.co.uk.I pointed fasthosts at webme.com,but I can only see my site if I type nigeljames.net if I type http://www.nigeljames.net I get nothing,probably something simple but a fundamental flaw for me

If you have used CNAME forwarding, then you need to go to the DNS settings at fasthosts and point your domain name to @, CNAME forwarded to web.me.com and then www CNAME forwarded to web.me.com and this will then work.
Normally, you would have to cancel the A settings and then set up two CNAMES, one being your domain name represented by the @ and www, which is your sub domain. Set both up and then forward them to web.me.com, your host being MobileMe.

The publishing settings page does not open when I click on the domain name and the iWeb application will not stay on the dock.

Hello,
I have been trying to help a friend who is having problems publishing her website. (She has done so previously using Mobile me)
There seem to be a couple of things wrong with the application,
1 if I drag the application icon onto the dock, it won't stay there
2 I wanted to change where her site is published to (she has bought a domain name and has a hosting service now) but when I click on the domain name I do not get the "site publishing settings page" so we can't enter the new details. All that comes up is the main page of her website.
I would suggest uninstalling and re-installing Iweb, to see if that clears the problem, but as Iweb came pre-installed with her Imac, I am not sure that we can do this.
Any ideas please?
she's using and imac 24 in (approx 4 years old) and running osx 10.5.8

NO - not correct. Even if you are still using iWeb 08, you can still publish to another host and not MobileMe. You do this by selecting the option 'Publish to a local folder" and this will publish the site to your desktop and you can then use an ftp programme such as Cyberduck to upload your site to your host.
MobileMe will not be here after the end of June, so you will have to find alternative hosting. They are not taking any new subscriptions.
On new Macs, iLife 11 is pre-installed, but only iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are included, not iWeb and iDVD. The Apple Online store is not selling the boxed version of iLife 11 any longer, so if you want to upgrade to iLife, then you'll have to look online at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk for a boxed set of either iLife 09 or iLife 11. Both contains iWeb 09, which is what you would want.

Domain name and session

Hi ,
We have deployed our application on tomcat server built on struts framework.
We have also set the domain name and are redirecting the domain name to Static Ip
where our application is deployed with URL Masking option enabled.
Everything is working fine in Firefox.But in IE6 and IE7 we are facing issues related to sessions.
Example:
it works when we access directly
http://156.78.78.89:8000/myapp/login.do?method=display
     when i redirect this with a domain name(with URL masking enabled) like
     http://www.mydomain.com It does not work.
     I am not able to login into application(using sessions of this) or use shopping cart(using cookies)
Cookies are getting disabled and there is no session maintainance.
Is it problem with struts config or tomcat server?
I am unable to take my application live because of this issue.
Please help me to solve. Thank you for your time and consideration

Hi BKBK,
I'm using CF10 and aplicaction.cfc

<cfset THIS.name= "GuarderiasGMX2"/>
<cfset THIS.applicationTimeout = createTimeSpan( 0, 1, 0, 0 ) />
<cfset THIS.sessionManagement = true />
<cfset THIS.sessionTimeout = createTimeSpan( 0, 1, 0, 0 ) />
I don't use cookies to set the session. I only use cfcookie for kill the session on the application.cfc when the user sign out.
<cffunction
name="onRequestStart"
access="public"

Help:Domain name forwarding to .mac URL

Experts - newbie here - used iweb and built my site. Forwarded my domain name to the .mac URL and everytime I try to access the domain name I get a .mac screen that says my .mac iweb site does not exist. Seemed all rather simple with point and click so now what? Thanks

everytime I try to access the domain name I get a
.mac screen that says my .mac iweb site does not
exist.
Most likely you made an error in the url. If you would provide the two urls someone could probably help you fix it, otherwise it's pretty impossible.

How can I make my homepage my domain name and not anything else?

I own my domain name and it is hosted with godaddy and everything is working fine except that when I go to http://www.mydomain.com it redirects to http://www.mydomain.com/1stiwebpage.html Is it possible to have my homepage (in this case 1stiwebpage) stay at www.mydomain.com or is it inevitable for it to redirect to what ever is the name of the top page in the iweb hierarchy. I hope this question makes sense. Thanks

The only way you can get this is to switch how you are forwarding. If you want www.mydomain.com then you would need to use masked web forwarding instead of CNAME. CNAME will show your site like this so that you can bookmark.

Personal Domain Names in iWeb/MobileMe?

Why is it that MobileMe will now not accept UK domain names? I have a .co.uk domain name and can no longer use it with the new MMe.
When I first started to use iWeb and .Mac I purchased a UK domain name and had it entered in the personal domain name section and .Mac accepted it with no problem at all and I had my site redirected using the CNAME option for a long time.
Now .Mac has become MobileMe, it will no longer accept UK domain names, only domains ending in .com, .net, .org etc. Due to this, I can no longer use the personal domain name option of my MMe account and I did not want to re-direct to my domain using web forwarding so have had to publish my site to a folder and ftp up to my host server space. Now I don't mind doing this, as it does not take that long and the whole site loads more quickly anyway, but I would just like to know why MMe does not now accept UK domain names now when .Mac always used to?
This is irritating because it means that I am not able to use my MMe account to the full and as I live and work in the UK it did seem more appropriate to purchase a UK domain name rather than a .com or a .net.
Perhaps Apple should look at this again, as not accepting UK domain names excludes a lot of British users!!

What the heck is wrong with some people on this site! The guy was simply asking for advice!
I got a similar snotty reply from someone in a post I made in which I was simply asking for advice from other users.
I thought this was a SUPPORT Forum? Sheesh!
Anyway, I am glad that Ethmoid posted about MobileMe and the problem with it and .co.uk domains. I was thinking of signing up to MobileMe and using iWeb for my blog and having it redirected to a .ie domain. But if this problem keeps up then it looks like I won't.
Happy happy forum!

Creating the default personal domain name to iWeb from Wordpress.

I have a wordpress blog (that I do not want to use) that also serves as the administrator for my domain name and I am trying to get iWeb to be the default home page and not the Wordpress blog. I have changed [edited in Custom DNS Records] the DNS protocol at Wordpress to "CNAME blog web.me.com." and also configured the personal domain in MobileMe to reflect my domain name.
So far I am not having any success with the online instructions and cannot seem to find any further information on how to make iWeb the home page.
Am I missing some steps here?
Anyone have any insight into setting up iWeb with a personal domain, specificially with Wordpress as the domain administrator?
Thank you!

The first step is to configure your personal domain name in MobileMe which you have done.
You then need to go and alter your DNS records and what you want to do is create a new CNAME and direct this to web.me.com and that is it. Your domain name will be your alias and web.me.com will be your host and as long as your site is published to MobileMe, then your domain name should point to your host at MobileMe.
I don't know why you have blog in there under your CNAME? All you need is a new CNAME that points to web.me.com and nothing else and that should work.
Also, rather than changing back to MobileMe from WordPress, why not invest your time and energies into finding a new and alternative hosting company? You don't have long with MobileMe and you do realise that it will be gone at the end of June, so perhaps now would be a good time to look at the alternatives?

Domain name and search engines

Hi
There have been a few helpful postings about the importance
of having text on your frontpage for crawlers etc to improve your
search ranking. My question: how important is the domain name for
search engines? Is it worth investing a dime or 2 on a good generic
domain? If you needed to have 2 words (e.g. www.top-lawyer.com) is
it better to have them combined (e.g. www.toplawyer.com).
PS This is just an example...I am not a lawyer!

I think that your both confusing "domain names" and
"domain/web space
hosting" here.
Typically you register with a hosting company and receive an
amount of disk
space. bandwith etc and a domain name, say
www.thru-the-net.com
You create your web site and upload it to the serve and
people can access
your web site at www.thru-the-net.com
Now you realise that many people outside the US are entering
www.through-the-net.com so you get your provider to register
www.through-the-net.com for you as well and they POINT this
address to
www.thru-the-net.com. That is to say when people enter
www.through-net.com
the actually end up at www.thru-the net.com i.e. the same
place.
This is o.k. you can have as many variations as you want -
www.thru-the-net.com
www.through-the-net.com
www.thruthenet.com
www.throughthenet.com
www.thru-the-net.net
www.through-the-net.net
etc. all pointing to the same www.thru-the-net.com server.
This is o.k. and
the search engines don't mind this.
BUT
If you have SEPARATE web space for each of these domain name
variants and
just copy your entire site into each of these spaces, now the
domains are
not being forwarded. They are entirely stand alone domains
that are all the
same.
Search engines DON'T like these and see them as an attempt at
improving
ranking and therefore penalise all of them.
Sorry for being so long winded, but hopefully this makes
sense.

Domain names with iWeb

I know there has been a lot of discussion on this topic, but I haven't seen anything that answers my more basic questions. I have a .Mac site and would like to give it a personal domain name. I am handy with my .Mac site but know nothing about web pages, domain names etc and how they function (thus the beauty of .Mac that does the work for me). Any help with the following questions would be greatly appreciated. Please keep responses somewhat simple so I can start to understand...
1- If I register a domain name and forward it to my .mac site, what exactly is happening. For example, if I get a name from xyz.com that offers me a domain name, web space, email etc, and I use this name for my .mac site, is anything actually hosted by the xyz.com site? Make sense? All I want is the name. I don't plan to use any of the other services so I want to buy the smallest package. If this package only offers 75 MB of storage, but my .Mac site has more than that on it currently, will this cause a problem? Or, am I just simply slapping on the name and continuing to use all the .Mac functions regardless of the domain name's restrictions. Hope I was clear...
2- Where should I get my domain name? GoDaddy, A Small Orange....?
I guess that is it for now. I really want to know if I will need to change the way I do things, manage storage etc if I get a personal domain name, or is it business as usuall with a new name?
Thanks in advance for your help. Nick

Hi Elmeroguero,
If you buy a domain name at GoDaddy say elmeroguero.com for 10$/yr you then will be able to access the site you publish on .mac by entering elmeroguero.com.
EVERYTHING ELSE is business as usual. You publish your website by hitting publish button in iWeb and so on just as you did until now. All your pages are stored on .Mac and so on. The only thing changing is how you can access your website from browser (nevertheless you will also still be able to access your website typing the web.mac.com/username/ address).
Regards,
Cédric
(Difference between WebForward, WebForward with cloaking and CNAME:
-WebForward: after you typed elmeroguero.com in the browser you get forwarded to web.mac.com/username/ and web.mac.com/username/ will display in the browser
-WebForward with Cloaking: after you typed elmeroguero.com in the browser elmeroguero.com will display in the browser and don't change while people browse through your website
-CNAME elmeroguero.com will display instead of web.mac.com/username/ and while browsing through your website it will look like elmeroguero.com/sitename/nameofpagepeoplelookatnow.html)

Problem with external domain name and hosting

Hi I have my own domain name and hosting plan I want to use. However, I have trouble pointing my site from BC to my server.
I found the following information but in my case "create A-Records" is not available on the "Site Domains". Please advise.
Thanks.

Point externally hosted domains to your Business Catalyst site
If you have chosen to use external DNS service for your domain name, create A-Records for both the www and non-www versions of your domain name. Then, point them to your site, which resides on one of the following IP addresses:

Hi
Can you please confirm that there is no “Create A records” option under “More Actions” ?

Horizon View is depended on AD and this task is not trivial.
What needs to be done depends on your setup and configuration and you will need assist from VMware Support and you should first replicate the setup in a test-environment.

Get Windows domain name and user through jsp

I have a jsp page that will be viewed through ie on windows platform, that is a member of domain.
I need to get the domain name and logged in windows user name to use it in my page.
I've looked through similar topics. Found no answer.
1.
System.parameter("user.name") is not ok. it returns user that runs jvm.
2.
import com.sun.security.auth.module.NTSystem;
NTSystem system = new NTSystem();
system.getDomain()
system.getName()that didn't work through jsp, though the answer is correct.
3. I found some api at http://www.sinotar.com/download/swin/doc/index.html
it did the right thing, but it's not free.
Could anyone advice me smth?
I've looked

well, it won't work in your jsp because jsps run server-side
could try putting an applet on your page that does it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the security manager put the kibosh on that, too
a third - but clunky - way would be to write a quick java app that does it, and launch it through WebStart. bit ugly, and needs extra user input they might not want to do
