Domain name is duplicated...making it longer and redundant than necessary

This happened when I updated my domain name a few extra times with hosting by .mac. What to do to get it with just one?
Thanks

That's because you named your site the same as your domain name. The usual URL for CNAME domain name forwarding is www.domainname.com/site_name/page_name.html.
Change your site name to something descriptive of your offerings you will get rid of the double domain name in the URL.
Another way to get rid of the double domain name is to publish your site to a folder on the hard drive and uploaed just the contents of the site folder to your server. You will have to delete the existing site folder from the server beforehand and then upload just the contents. That will give you

HT1751 I did all of the above and at the "Consolidate files" screen I clicked "ok" then it sayd "copying files failed. the file name was invalid or too long" and I had to click "OK" I cannot consolidate the files to transport to my external harddrive -h

I would like to backup my itunes to my external hard drive
I did all the steps up to "organize Liberary" which at this point I checked the box and the clicked"ok"
it then said "copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long" "OK"
It will not let me consolidate the files so I can transfer to my external hard drive
what am I doing wrong - any suggestions?
thanks,

Are you using consolidate files to bring in stray files to your main iTunes Media folder before backing up, or to copy the media folder to the external drive as part of backing up? If it is the latter then you are taking the wrong approach. See this user tip.
Run my script Unconsolidated on the library. It will show you the remaining unconsolidated files which might give a clue as to which files iTunes is having a problem with. You can consolidate selected files in batches (select, right-click) as opposed to trying to do everything in one go. Alternatively you could try moving the remaining unconsolidated files with ConsolidateByMoving as long as this step is a precursor to a backup..

Question about RAC 10g on server running AIX and domain name changes

We have several 10g clusters running on IBM p-Series AIX servers, and our company is changing the domain name for our network. I am concerned that if we do not change the domain names in the TNSNAMES.ora file and also the /etc/hosts file on each server, the cluster will no longer function. We are using CRS (version 10.2.0.3) and ASM within each cluster.
Does anyone know where I can find information about changing the domain name that was set up as part of the CRS and database installs for RAC? Does anyone have experience doing this, and would be willing to share a few insights? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

You may be able to use the VIPCA utility for RAC to change or modify the public and private settings for your domain names on AIX. Also, the Oracle 10g DBCA "Database Configuration Assistant" should be of use to change your settings for your RAC environment.
Also, see here for a good IBM Redbook that covers Oracle 10g RAC on AIX platforms:

Iweb 09 and posting to your own domain name -- how does it work?

Dear Apple geniuses,
What I always hated about iWeb was the long web address -- I am thinking about buying 09 and a domain name so I can have a simple address. (I am on iLife 07 now) But I am not exactly sure how it works can you help me!
Question 1. Once I get the domain name for example, www.christine.com, and post my iwebsite to it will people be see it just by typing in www.christine.com? (I won't have to add anything else to the address).
Question 2. Can you suggest a domain registar that works well with iWeb (I read something about needing one that will allow a setting for CNAME).
Question 3. Will this website come up in google searches?
Question 4. I plan to use the widget to have youtube video on my website because I want the video to play quickly so people don't have to wait for it to load-- will all of that work if I post to my own domain?
Thanks and sorry for my computer stupidity!

1. No, you don't have to add anything to the address and people should be able to get to your site by either typing in http://yourdomain.com or http://www.yourdomain.com.
2. GoDaddy are very good and I have a domain name registered with them. Also, Network Solutions too. You only need a registrar/host that provides CNAME forwarding if you are intending to purchase a MobileMe account and publish your site to MME. However, you do not need to do this to be able to use iWeb. You can purchase your domain name, plus a Linux hosting option from GoDaddy and you can then upload your site directly to your hosting space using a dedicated ftp program such as Cyberduck.
3. Your site will come up in Google Searches yes, but you need to notify them that your site exists first.
4. Posting YouTube on your site will work if you publish to MobileMe and upload directly to your server. If you want quick loading, however, I would suggest that you upload directly to your server as at times MobileMe is notoriously slow. I upload directly, as I have business site and I wanted faster loading speeds that MME could not give me.
Your version of iLife will be 06 and not 07 - as far as I am aware that does not exist, it went 06, 08 and now 09.

IWeb, Dot Mac, family packs... and Domain names???

I'm a volunteer involved with recreational trails and historical preservation organizations in a rural area. I've been talking with the leadership of these (not-well-funded) organizations for some time about the benefits of establishing web sites for each organization. (Publicizing accomplishments, generating awareness of issues, soliciting support, improving communication, etc.)
Prior to the recent MacWorld SF Expo, I was looking (very warily) at some of the pay-services out there where you can pay so much a month (or a year) for a web-hosting service which would supposedly offer a domain name of choice, server space, and other services. Of course, with this I would have to learn how to use a web design app like GoLive CS or DreamWeaver MX. I'm not opposed to that. Web-based tutorial services like Lynda.com make it more possible than ever before. Still, I was wary about getting my "bang for the buck"; the combination of my time and the hard-won funding of these organizations resulted in wavering enthusiasm.
Along comes Apple's iLife 2006 and the offering of a new Dot Mac Family Pack. Looking over the possibilities, there's something to be said for combining iLife '06 with a Dot Mac Family Pack. If Steve Jobs' hype is to be believed, I could put up nice little web-sites for a decent price and have all kinds of technological possibilities for the future. (If anyone wants to post a podcast, it can be done. Posting pictures of volunteer work and developing issues can be a major breakthrough for awareness and support.)
I'm still concerned about some lingering issues, though. Some of these other web-hosting services offer the means of securing and using your own domain name (i.e., your-organization.org) for a web-site URL and even several e-mail addresses using that same domain name. Still, if I split a Dot Mac Family Pack five ways, that's $36 per site. That's quite a savings over $100+ per year per site that these hosting services were asking. How tough is it to get a domain name, and how much does it cost?

Walt,
Getting a domain name is easy enough, as long as you can come up with one that isn't already taken. You can secure a domain name on sites like GoDaddy.com for less than $10 a year, and it gets cheaper as you secure it for more years at a time. GoDaddy also offers free domain forwarding, meaning: you can have your www.brandnewdomainname.com point to your .Mac url (which will read something complex like http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/somethingorother). If you don't want the complex .Mac url to show in the browser's address field when people visit your page, GoDaddy will mask it for you for free too. Then, it will just say www.brandnewdomainname.com on every page on that site. If you want each page on each of your sites to have its own easy url, say www.brandnewdomainname.com/about or www.brandnewdomainname.com/contact, you'll have to host with GoDaddy or some other site and pay the price.
If you decide to go with the iLife 06/.Mac combo, the family pack may not be the best thing for you. Have a look at this .Mac page:
http://www.mac.com/1/currencytable.html
For $20 more, you can get twice the server space (4GB), and I think that also includes a lot more bandwidth per month than the family pack, but I am not sure about that. For $30 less, you have the same amount of space as the family pack. What you don't have is the 4 additional e-mail addresses. You can purchase those separately for $10 a year, or, you can use up to 5 free e-mail aliases per account. The drawback to aliases is that messages sent to them will all end up in the main account's inbox, which may or may not work for you --perhaps only if all the e-mails are intended for the webmaster and that is you for all these sites. Of course, you could always list individual non-.Mac e-mail addresses on a contact page, and probably turn them into hyperlinks so that if people click on them, their e-mail app will open a new e-mail addressed to that person. May not be the most elegant way to do it, but if you're trying to save money, maybe it's good enough.
With a regular (non-family pack) .Mac account, you also are not forced to split your server space five ways evenly -- you can host as many sites on one .Mac account as your server space will allow. The main headache for you will be the urls to each individual page of all these sites. If you are picky about them and what exactly they look like, .Mac may not be your thing. Not yet at least. It has the ease of use, but you pay for that in other ways. There's always a trade-off...
Hope that helps a little.

VTP Domain Name and Transparent Mode

Can two switches connect via a trunk, one as a server and one as transparent and be in two different VTP domains respectively?

Hi Guys,
For the error messgae below:
Error Message DTP-5-DOMAINMISMATCH: Unable to perform trunk negotiation on port
[chars] because of VTP domain mismatch.
This you will got only when you have an automatic trunk negotiation using the DTP (dynamic trunking protocol) between the switches. The switches with different VTP domain name will not negotiate a trunk and a trunk will not form. But if you configure a trunk manually (not using DTP) then the trunk will work.
HTH, Please rate if this helps

Problems setting a Yosemite domain name account for Send only

What do I do in Yosemite Mail so that my DOT MAC account is IMAP, but so that I can also send email from a domain account that is a POP account at GoDaddy?
My Dot Mac / iCloud account is my primary Mail account. I also have a domain name account that I use only for sending mail. The domain name account is a POP account, not an IMAP account. The domain server (not an Apple server) forwards the email to my Dot Mac account as it comes in, but I do NOT sync mail or even pick up mail from the domain name server.
With Yosemite, Apple apparently changed the way it deals with that situation. I say "apparently" because I'm having a hard time getting help on this. Before Yosemite, I had the domain account enabled, but while there was a password for sending there was no password for picking up the domain name mail. Every once in the while over the years that setup would get flaky (as Apple made changes on its end?) but usually it worked.
I continued that setup with Yosemite, but a few months ago I started having problems. My mail worked as normally, but during the night or the morning, many messages would arrive as unread duplicates, and many emails I didn't want deleted were permanently deleted. Oddly, in addition, I had an easy time keeping the setup on my MacAir but I had a hard time keeping it on my Mac Mini, even though both have Yosemite.
I took my MacAir to an Apple genius who said the settings had changed in Yosemite. He somehow reset the account for Send Only by clicking a box. Everything worked fine for a week or so,* But then I could no longer send domain name mail, I couldn't find the setting, and I went to another Genius, who didn't know what I was talking about and who couldn't solve the problem.
I need to be able to send my domain name account without making it an IMAP account, but can't figure out how.
thanks
* In other words, the Dot Mac IMAP worked correctly, the POP messages forwarded correctly to DOT MAC (without any duplication problems), and I was able to send mail from the domain account.

I've not tested it but if you simply leave the incoming mail server field in the Mail account preferences blank for that account blank but set up the outgoing server and do not check "include when automatically checking new mail" you should be able to send but not receive
OR undo the forward that you have set up from #2 to #1 and use both normally

Changing the default domain name of the server.

I know this is not the correct title for the topic. but its the best word i could found on my voculabary.
here's my problem.
Im using Sun App Server 9. the server is installed in the local machine. for testing purposes client access from the local server is sufficient. I deployed a web service using net beans 5.5. My problem is that the WSDL file is generated (by server) uses a fully qualified domain name rather than localhost. for example it uses http://mlb.stdmlb.sliit.lk:8080. When i try to create a client using netbeans it tries to access the server using this address (the one in the WSDL) but the firewall denies access to port 8080. Therefore i want to use the server to use localhost rather than the long domai name. (at least http://mlb) Can anyone tell me how to configure this?
Lahiru

These are the steps for changing domain name & IP address without reinstall
a) Stop the Gateway and Server .
b) Export the profile server database to a flat ldif file:
# /opt/netscape/directory4/slapd-host_name/db2ldif /temp/profile.ldif
c) Use awk, perl, or vi, to change every instance of the system domainname in the ldif file to that of the new system.
d) Import the edited ldif file into the profile server on the new machine:
# /opt/netscape/directory4/slapd-/ldif2db -i /temp/profile.ldif
e) edit etc/opt/SUNWips/platform.conf and change all the domain name & Ip address
f) edit /etc/opt/SUNWips/properties.file change the domain name
g) Start the platform server and gateway on the new machine.

Domain Name & Email Options

Setting up my first site in 20 years and going through the domain name registration. I have an existing site (not Muse) that's running just fine but I'm adding on a new site and hoping to use Muse and possibly Business Catalyst.
My question is probably basic, but since I haven't done this in so long, I need to know what the options are now.
First of all, does it make a difference where I register a new domain name? Anything I should be aware of or look out for? From what I understand so far, it's better to register the name separately rather than together with a hosting company in case you want to move to a different hosting company at some point.
Secondly, do I need to 'add-on' email when registering the domain name, or is that done through the website's hosting company? And/or, how does this work through Muse and Business Catalyst?

Hey Mike,
Good to hear you're getting back into the design game
You actually have a few options here. If you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, Adobe will actually host up to 5 webBasic sites for free. So basically, you would just have to purchase the Domain Name from some place like GoDaddy and then you could actually publish to Adobe's servers, and the hosted is included in your monthly subscription. I believe you just have to log into your Business Catalyst Partner Portal and assign a new domain name to the site you created.
However, a few things I want to make clear about the webBasics sites. These are the most basic Business Catalyst site that you can get, hence why they host them for free. This does not include any type of WordPress-esque blog, or E-mail Marketing, or a customer database of any kind. I think that with the webMarketing plan you can get the blog and the email marketing campaigns, but there's extra monthly costs.
webBasics is great if you are creating a static site that's not going to change very often, like for an Air Conditioning company or something, or even a portfolio that you might just add to every once in a while. Just don't want you to expect a WordPress-type blog, because that's not what these are.
Strangely enough, Muse and Business Catalyst are only loosely related at this point in time (supposed to change in the future). It is possible to integrate, say, a webMarketing site with Adobe Muse, which I have done in the past, but it's not "easy", relative to Muse. You have to know some CSS/HTML/a little PHP to get it to work.
Lastly, when you get your domain name, be sure to check out a site like RetailMeNot.com for any coupon codes. I got my domain for $1.99.
Hope this helps!

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!

IronPort WSA with Authentication unable to access 2 character domain names with 2 character TLDNs

I've discovered an issue requiring user authentication and some of the short url sites likes e2.ma will not load in Internet Explorer explicitly configured to go through an IronPort WSA. In testing with bogus domains (a.to, aa.to) it seems the issue is if the domain name is 1-2 characters and the top level domain name is also 2 characters long. Longer domains (aaa.to) work and return an IronPort error for DNS_FAIL. Does anyone know of a workaround to not have to allow all these as unauthenticated destinations?

Support pointed me towards that KB article as well, but it is for IE 5 (and fixed in IE 6), but IE 8+ uses a TLD list from Microsoft (visible by using res://urlmon.dll/ietldlist.xml) and I don't control the external website. I'm going to try using an IP address surrogate instead of session cookies for these domains and see if that resolves this.

Change domain name in URL box

Hi there,
I have updated the domain name for a client's website and followed the proceedure from other discussions I saw on the subject. It works fine to export and publish using the udated domain name, but the old name still shows up in the URL box on the live site. How do I update that so the new domain name shows up after the site is opened?
Thank you so much!
Mary

Hi Mary,
Your domain agsgaming.com (managed by NAMECHEAP.COM) has a 302 Redirect setup to forward to http://www.americangamingsystems.com.
You would need to contact your domain registrar to fix this redirect for you or help you fix that.
Cheers,
Vikas

How many domain names can I transfer to Apple.

I have a family (me) account. Family of four/one biz. The family each has their own domain. The biz has 4 domains. Can I transfer all domains including the four biz domains to the apple/me account. Yes/No. Is there a limit?
Also about a year ago I tried to transfer (1) domain over, my sons. What I total nightmare. I finally just gave up all together and I believe I'm fairly savvy tech wise. But the transfer had me stumped. I would appreciate it if someone out there who has made a transfer from "Network Solutions" to "Apple" could give me a blow by blow on how too. I would really appreciate it.
David

As Tom has said, you DO NOT transfer your domain names - Apple does not host domain names, they just host your MobileMe website.
What you need to do is enter the domain name into the personal domain name section of your MobileMe account and then go to the DNS settings at Host Excellence and set up a new CNAME forwarding for your domain name to web.me.com - this creates the link from your domain name to where your site is published at MobileMe - web.me.com.
You can have one CNAME forward for every MobileMe account so if you have a Family Pack, then one for the main account and one each for the 4 sub accounts, so 5 in total.
Once you have used up the 5 you have, if you want anymore then you just need to use ordinary web forwarding.

Domain name fowarding to my iWeb page.

the company I secured my domain name with asks for a PRIMARY and SECONDARY SERVER HOST NAME. do i use: http://web.mac.com/[YourMemberName]? the space to put this information has
ns.infoservemedia.com
ns2.infoservemedia.com
in the box
Macbook Pro 2GHz 2GB memory Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The stuff they are asking for is not relevant or possible for .Mac. You need to tell them you want Domain Forwarding, where you provide the url of your site (http://web.mac.com/username) and that's all. If they won't do it or can't understand it, find another host.
