Godaddy hosting switching question
If I decide to switch to Godaddy for their web hosting services, wil I lose the password feature in iWeb to protect my sites? How can I get around this if I go with Godaddy? Are there any other things I should be aware of that I will lose by going with another hosting service?
I would not recommend them as a
host - their interface is downright unfriendly. I
still have about 10 domains I have to move off there.
I followed suggestions from others to use them and
then was sorely disappointed with the usability of
their admin tools. Unbelievably bad interface.
I'd be curious about the details. Are you mainly talking about their domain management facilities? Or did you have problems putting sites on the server or with server performance? Would your problems apply to someone with just one domain?

Question re: what files & folders to upload to godaddy hosting account
I created a small website in a local folder named "lovecake." Inside are three folders named images, pages, and lightbox_assets. I have a hosting account with godaddy that allows me to have multiple sites. I have three sites on there now. The first one I uploaded before I upgraded my space so that I could have more than one site, so it is not in a separate folder. The other two are in named folders they call directories. I need to upload this site into a folder(directory) named "alina" that I created for the domain name of livelovecake.net. I plan to upload with Fetch, which I have used before rather than trying to use DW to upload because I have to make sure that I upload my sites into separate folders which I know how to do with Fetch, but am not sure how I would do it with DW. Do I need to upload the whole folder on my computer named "lovecake" with its contents into the "alina" folder, or do I just upload the folders inside "lovecake," eg., images, pages, and lightbox_assets? Will there be a problem because the folder on my computer and the folder on my godaddy hosting account have different names? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good to hear you figured it out, sedona. Just a quick thought: Do you know about Dreamweaver's Synchronize command (Site > Synchronize Sitewide)? If not, it might be worth reading up on. Now that your site is uploaded, it can be tricky to remember what files have been modified, added, etc., once you start updating pages, making changes, and so on.

Thanks Geoff for the tip. I will read up on it. The site I just made is very simple and only 5 pages, since it is my first effort in DW and I was just getting my feet wet-have used iWeb in the past. But I hope to do something more complicated in the future, so will probably need to keep better track of stuff.

Periodic drop of connection to GoDaddy-hosted sites
For the past month or so, I occasionally lose access to any of my sites hosted at GoDaddy. I can connect to any other site, can ping other sites, etc. I can get to the server via IP, but not URL. And then, just as suddenly, I can pull up the site again. It seems to be happening with increasing frequency (four times today, happening right now). I've switched DNS servers from the Verizon ones to DynDNS to Google's, and no luck (and like I said, I can still go to other sites on the Internet.) When I check with http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ the server is still up and going (testing with the URL, not the IP address). Anyone else experiencing anything similar with GoDaddy? Or have any ideas. I've tried rebooting the router when it happens, but that doesn't resolve it.
Halllp#1 Did you trace route to the GoDaddy-hosted site(s)?
#2 If not, please do and show us the results.
This means for example if on Windows XP,
a) Go to Start -> Run.
b) Type in cmd and press enter.
c) In the new window type in tracert google.com and press enter.

Multiple Sites w/ GoDaddy Host
I created a website with iWeb, bought a domain name and hosting space from GoDaddy, published the site to a folder and uploaded it to GoDaddy with Fetch. Everything worked fine. I created another user account on my computer as a way to create another website with iWeb and keep it separate from the first one (a suggestion I got on these boards, by the way), created my site, bought another domain name from GoDaddy for that site, and now I want to upload it to my GoDaddy hosting space (the hosting account I got allows you to upload many sites to it if you want to). My concern is that when you upload the site that iWeb created from the published folder, you upload the index.html file and the folder iWeb created with the files for your site. iWeb always creates an index.html file for each web site. So there is already a file in my hosting space called index.html. When I upload the second site, is that going to somehow confuse or mess up the first one?
When you go to godaddy.com and click on the link that tells you about their various hosting plans, they have a comparison of plan features. They have Economy, Deluxe, & Premium. The last two allow Unlimited Sites and describe this as "Multiple Websites may be hosted within a single hosting account sharing the same disk space and bandwidth quotas."
I have one site up there under a domain name, so there is an index.html file and a folder with all the other files for that site. I bought another domain name for my second site, but I'm not sure yet how they will be differentiated when they are sharing the same disk space. My concern is that when I upload the second site, it too will have an index.html file that needs to go up, and will that overwrite the first one already up there and mess up that first site?
This is my first time using a program like iWeb to make a site. In the past (and that was a long time ago) I wrote my own html from scratch, and had control over what I named that first page that pointed to all the others. -

802.1x Dynamic VLAN Switching Question
Trying to set up 802.1x dynamic VLAN switching, and have a question. I think I've gotten it working except for one part. The VLAN on a protected interface is never getting switched. I can see an entry in the ACS stating that it applied the appropriate VLAN via RADIUS response, but it never changes on the switch.
Environment:
ACS Express 5.0.1
C3550 running c3550-ipbasek9-mz.122-44.SE6.bin
Switch config:

Am I missing something easy?It looks like "aaa authorization network default group dot1x" was the missing command I needed to get this working.
The only issue I'm having now is that if the client fails to meet the authentication requirements, the line status gets set as "down" -
How to setup a Godaddy Hosted URL with a Mobile Me Web Host Account
Is this setup correct for setting up a go daddy hosted domain name and pointing it to my iWeb account?
CNAME "HOST" field = "www"
CNAME "Points to" field = "web.me.com"
I've posted a screen grab of my setup below.
http://content.screencast.com/users/LukeJMorrison/folders/Snagit/media/0499cc2c- f1af-408f-b215-c396013e08b5/02.23.2011-13.34.30.pngYes! You do see your own domain and page path.
e.g. http://www.epiwellness.com/Site/Welcome.html
not just http://www.epiwellness.com/ no matter what page you are on, like what you see if you use godaddy.com "forwarding" option.
URL definitely changes when you change pages.
Case Closed!
Regards,
Luke

+*Thank You+!*
Two more questions:
1. Is there other settings needed other than just waiting for this setting to update on the servers?
2. Can you clarify if I will see my domain name or the mobile me domain name once a person browses to the site?

Domain/hosting-related question
It recently came to my attention that my hosting provider and
domain registrar, GoDaddy, blocks access to its sites from all IPs
in Iran, among other US gov't sanctioned countries.
However, our site's access to Iranians is essential for our
company.
So my question is, what exactly is it that they block? i.e.,
could I solve the problem by just registering my domain with a
different company? or just hosting my site with a different
company? or would I have to do both?Then transfer both the domain and the hosting to different
registrar(s) and
hosts.

Apple (Mac) mail & godaddy hosting. Incoming mail problems
Hello smiling
This morning my godaddy domain hosting transfer went live, and my incoming mail died. After an hour on the phone with godaddy support, they blamed my ISP. My ISP (ATT) blames godaddy.All I know is my mail worked fine with my other host server.
My POP settings are correct according to all sources. My spelling is correct. My password is correct. My email is still not forthcoming. I can send, but I cannot receive.Any ideas? Anyone?
I'm desperate to fix this as I just spent days transferring my website to save $10 a month. I don't even want to think about switching back. Has anyone else had and solved this issue?
Thanks in advance for your sage advice...

OSX 10.4.11
Mail 2.1.3
Godaddy incoming server - pop.secureserver.net
port 995
SSL box checked
Authentication - password
username is full email address
password is correct
account is enabled
Send mail is fine
Get mail is not working
webmail works
MX record is correctI am in the same situation, only I can not send... but am receiving mail fine.
Try the incoming server setting: mail.yourwebsitename.com
The "secureserver" settings do not work for me either.
I am trying to solve the outgoing mail designation, and I am sure it is possible. -
IMAP Issues using between mail/iphone - godaddy hosted
I just got email for my domain that is hosted with godaddy. I have IMAP and have set it up properly regarding the settings.
When I send myself an email and read it on my iphone it doesn't show as read on apple mail? If I close and reopen apple mail it shows as read????
If I do it in reverse and read it on apple mail it shows as read on the iphone. Very strange, need help!!!Right, I've just had a mess around with the settings and have deleted the original mailbox from my account. Then I followed the steps on this blog - http://www.illusion-interactive.com/content/how-sync-hotmail-ios7-using-imap (which I didn't need to go quite as far as it seemed to do all the advanced settings input automatically).
After a quick test I can confirm it now works! For some reason my Hotmail account set up on the iPhone was set to POP3 rather than IMAP.
Thanks to your heads up though I managed to get it sorted. Cheers! -
I'm new to Java, but not to programming or IDE's. I'm in the early stages of developing a new Java application, so I've been playing with various example code from some of the number of books available on the topic. In particular I was interested in using the StreamTokenizer class to initially set up my database, so I looked for some examples of how to use it. One of the examples I located is the following:
import java.io.*;
class StreamTokenizerDemo2 {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
// Create a file reader
FileReader fr = new FileReader(args[0]);
// Create a buffered reader
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
// Create a stream tokenizer
StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(br);
// Consider commas as white space
st.whitespaceChars(',', ',');
// Process tokens
while(st.nextToken() != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF) {
switch(st.ttype) {
case st.TT_WORD:
System.out.println(st.lineno() + ") " +
st.sval);
break;
case st.TT_NUMBER:
System.out.println(st.lineno() + ") " +
st.nval);
break;
default:
System.out.println(st.lineno() + ") " +
(char)st.ttype);
// Close file reader
fr.close();
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
It looks good on the surface, but the compiler is unhappy that the case st.TT_WORD: is not a constant - the exact complaint is:
StreamTokenizerDemo2.java [24:1] constant expression required
case st.TT_WORD:
Of course, the other case statement also generates an error.
As I would expect, changing the switch/case to cascaded if's works just fine. The examples elsewhere in the book I took this one from have been excellent so far; this is the first time I've seen a compiler error on their example code.
Has there been a change to the syntax or error checking with regard to the case statement since the book was printed in 1999? Can a case statement be used in this kind of application or should I just decide to stay with cascaded if's?
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
JonThanks for the quick reply. I followed the same approach (using the class rather than the instance) about an hour after I posted my question and was able to make the example code work then.
I'm still a bit curious about the restriction though. The examples were from a 1999 Schildt and O'Neil book, Teaching Yourself Java. Every other example I have played with has worked right out of the book without any changes, but the StreamTokenizer example failed. I wonder if the 1999 compiler wasn't as restrictive?
Anyway, I appreciate the response.
Thanks

Connection to MySQL on GoDaddy hosted site
I have a site set up with PHP and MySQL (by following David
Powers book - exellent). Everything works fine on my localhost, but
when I try to use the remote site to view a page containing MySQL
data all that comes up is a blank page. I have added a line of code
at the top of the page to show errors and still nothing shows -
just a blank page. I am able to see the database and tables via the
PHP admin but not via a page from my site. In the connections
folder I have changed the name of the host name on the remote site
to be what GoDaddy info page indicates. In a call to GODaddy help
they said everything is set up OK but there is a problem with my
code. I am sure that must be true - I just don't know what to do.
I appreciate your help,
thanks,
BillI was never able to set up a remote connection with GoDaddy,
that's not
say it's impossible.
My workaround (thanks, Murray) was to work with a local
connection and
at a later date export the local data to the remote DB. I
used mysqldump
from the Mac terminal to export the data.

Iweb/fetch/godaddy hosting-not loading
Need help. I designed my website on iweb and bought hosting thru godaddy, used fetch for FTP--tried to load the site and it wouldn't appear when I went to my site. I asked godaddy support for help. Here's how they answered:
Currently your index.html page is loading, but the code on this page is redirecting to remakeyourplace.com/REMAKE YOUR PLACE.html. You will need to add this page, or change the coding on your site. Unfortunately, we do not provide technical support with third-party scripting issues. You may wish to consult with a community forum online or do a search on your favorite search engine as other users may have encountered a similar problem in the past and may offer helpful solutions.We thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Can someone tell me in simple terms how to solve this problem? Obviously I have no idea what I'm doing, I just want to get my website up and running.I could really use the help. thx"put" (the term fetch uses for loading) the entire folder to my website
That does not sound correct. The instructions tell you to upload two items: the folder which has the same name as you gave your site inside the iweb app, plus the index.html file which iWeb creates alongside that folder. The folder also has an index.html inside it, and that is fine, but in your server space you must be able to see two separate items, one file called index.html and one folder with the name you gave your site.
To avoid possible confusion, try publishing to your desktop, so you can clearly see the index.html file and folder which iWeb creates and which both need to be uploaded. -
I'm using an iMac G4 800 MHz 15" Flat Panel. I am looking to replace my 60GB HD with a 250 GB one. I have a few questions:
1.) Can I put my 60 GB HD into a G4 Tower as a shell and transfer all the information from one HD to the Other with either an ethernet crossover cable/USB/Firewire whichever works best?
2.) Can I then take that 60 GB HD and install it into an old iMac G3 333MHz after erasing the HD while it was in the G4 Tower?
If these steps would not work are there any that people could suggest to take?
Thanks,
Tedas you can see he said imac flat panel. You can switch the drive it is a big job but not that hard if you take your time and follow the instruction's. go to xlr8yourmac.com and you will find the info there!!! I did change my 80GB to a 160GB. I still have my 80GB in a firewire case with the system folder still there if I need to start up for repairs. and for back up of files make sure the new drive is set to cable select. and if you use the firewire case make sure the drive is set to master. If you put it in a 333mhz imac make sure you make your 1st partion 8GB then the rest will be like a second drive. The start up system on those had to be in the 8gb or the system won't start up. And to answer the question you can use the external cases which are usb1 but not fast for files. YOU CAN'T START UP FROM A EXTERNAL CASE ON THOSE SYSTEMS even if you put in a sonnet upgrade with the firewire plug in them!
I had one and know that for a fact. And if I remember right the drive in that system must be set as Master. Good Luck
