Google vs Domain Forwarding

This problem must confront many users of mobleme who have a domain other than web.me.com.:
Aloha guys: I need help. I have a web site I built using iWeb. I have a domain name I bought thru Namesecure, with a .org extension. I have Namesecure forward hits to the .org domain to the mobleme web domain I got when I published thru Mobleme.
It works great. BUT, google does not pick it up. even when I google the actual domain name xxx.org, google does not find it.
There must be a solution to this problem. Thank you all very much for participating in this great forum.

Your domainname.org if that's what you want them to find.
Its a good idea to get the verification file done at the same time.
If you don't already have one, get a Google account so that you can submit a sitemap as well.

Webmaster tools change of address 301 redirect failed using domain forward

I'm having trouble with webmaster tools recognising our domain name change.
We've recently updated website and done a name change from www.qldtshirt.com.au to www.qtco.com.au. I am using domain forwarding so qldtshirt.com.au forwards to qtco.com.au (aswell has with www.) and every thing works perfectly.
www.qldtshirt.com.au/products/polo-shirts/cool-dry-fabric forwards to:
http://www.qtco.com.au/products/clothing/polo-shirts/cool-dry-fabric
We have about 4000 301 redirects setup in URL Redirects:
/products/business-and-corporate/desk-and-office/100-organic-cotton-pencil-case to
/products/gifts-incentives/desk-and-office/100-organic-cotton-pencil-case
so on and so on....
I've verified all sites in webmaster tools however when change of address from www.qldtshirt.com.au to www.qtco.com.au webmaster tools presents this error:
"301 redirect failed. We detect that the root address of your old site (www.qldtshirt.com.au) does not yet redirect to the root address of your new site (www.qtco.com.au). For more information use the Fetch as Google tool."
It works perfectly fine for the end user, anyone know why and how to fix please?

Hi, I have found this same situation. Did you have any luck finding a solution?
Thank you

IWeb/Domain Forwarding/.mac question

Hello Everyone
I have been lurking in the forum for some time, and now have a question. I did a search for it without any luck, so here goes.
I have a website I created using iWeb, with a domain I purchased from GoDaddy. I have domain forwarding and domain Masking both enabled. The issue I have is that each page shows only the purchased URL. In other words, I cannot direct someone to an individual page. I would like the pictures page to show up as purchased domain/pictures, and the links page to show up as purchased domain/links.
We had a discussion involving this on a MMUG I belong to. There are 3 of us who all have domains purchased from GoDaddy. The 2 of us hosting on .Mac have the above mentioned issue with the URL. The one person hosted elsewhere (not GoDaddy), has distinct URL's for each page. This leads me to believe the root of the issue resides with .Mac hosting. Does this make any sense?
FWIW, I asked the same question to .Mac support and got nowhere. They just sent me a response explaining what domain forwarding is.
Dual 2.0 G5 Rev A - PowerBook 17" 1.33 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

The masking feature that you describe is just that.... it masks the actual URL with whatever URL you give it...in this case the URL for your domain. So if you type in http://www.yourdomain.com and have it masked and forwarded to your .Mac pages, that URL is the only URL you will ever see in the address bar of your browser. This is the expected behavior for masking.
There are some different things you can do with your domain, though...
Remember that your forwarded domain basically replaces the relevant portion of your .Mac address. I will use my domain name and .Mac iWEb address for example.
http://www.dirtdoog.com ==> forwards to http://web.mac.com/jwtseng/iWeb
So anytime I see my .Mac URL, I can replace the whole initial section with my domain name...
http://web.mac.com/jwtseng/iWeb/kate/MyWorld/MyWorld.html
can be directly replaced with...
http://www.dirtdoog.com/kate/MyWorld/MyWorld.html
And because I have masking turned on, this is the URL that will stay in my address bar.
For your purposes, you might be interested in assigning subdomains. This feature is located under "Total DNS control". It lets your replace the "www" with a sub-domain that again can be forwarded to any URL. You can use this to forward directly to your photos page using this...
http://photos.yourdomain.com
That would work too, if you had a page that you commonly like to give out to people.

Will I still be able use mobileme iweb domain forwarding in icloud ?

Will I still be able use mobileme iweb domain forwarding in icloud ?
I have dozens of iweb sites hosted on mobileme pointing to www domais using web masking .
Will this also be a possibility with icloud ?
Also is iweb finished ?

At the moment it seem probably not, so you had better look for alternative hosting with GoDaddy or HostExcellence.
Also, remember that iWeb is a package that is used for building websites, no more and no less, so if you still have iWeb on your Mac then you can still use it whether or not you have MobileMe or not - iWeb can still be used - if it exists then you can use it but rather look for an alternative host.

CNAME vs Domain Forwarding - Can somebody explain this to me?

Currently I have several domain names and hosted space at GoDaddy. I publish to a folder and upload to GoDaddy. I also have a .Mac account. I'd edit the html so that the GoDaddy site would still have the Apple slide shows, and so forth...
Now that iWeb '08 has the CNAME functionality, I guess I'll terminate the GoDaddy hosting and use just the .Mac account. I've got quite a mess to undo here...
Now the questions, how does CNAME differ from domain forwarding & masking? What do I need to tell GoDaddy to make all this happen? I searched their help and the CNAME part was a bit vague.

I too need an answer to the same question as I have a domain name with another registrar and they say the cname is name specific which web.mac.com certainly is not ??????

Directory server 6.3 domain forward

Dear All,
I am wondering if there is any domain forwarding attribute in directory server 6.3
My aim is to forward all incoming mails of company.com to company1.com

Hi Lewis,
I do not know what attribute messaging server uses for the functionality you want. So best to ask the messaging forum and they will tell you what steps to follow to achieve the functionality you want.

Starting wiki service breaks domain forwarding

I have two domains hosted at GoDaddy that are forwarded to my server with masking (one is http://www.internationalworkshops.org). One of my other users requested wiki service, so I turned that on, and now the forwarded domains come up as blank pages. When I view the page source, all appears well (it's an HTML 4.01 document using frames to show the content on my server), but only a blank page comes up in my browser. If I turn off wiki service, then the domain forwarding works properly again.
Any ideas on how I can get both services to work at the same time?

Aiiiii.
took all my forwarders off and then decided to check my Spam filter and viola the email is in my Spam box.
got to simplify things over here and getting a new domain host would be a nice start.
sorry for the long post.

Which Domain Forwarding sites offer meta tags?

I am soon going to publish my website through .mac with iweb. I have some expirience with webdesign in the past and I know that .mac does not have meta tag implementation.
That being said I know some domain forwarding cann allow you to implement keywords and meta tags into the forwarding url. In the past I know .co.nr the free domain forwarding site allows this. that way when you searched for thissite.co.nr the keywords and description you entered would be displayed. I am not sure if other places allow for this same sort of meta tag placement for domain forwarding. This would really help with overcoming the issue with meta-tags in iWeb if possible.
Does anyone know what domain sites offer this sort of feature? Does Godaddy.com?

newmacguru,
The situation is a little bit different with masked Domain Forwarding. The meta-information is placed into the frames code which is responsible for the masking. Since this code is generated by the domain forwarding setup, it is not available for editing like other iWeb HTML files. Futhermore, with a masked Domain Forwarding setup, search engines that find the domain URL only see the frames code and whatever meta-information is contained in the frames code. So even if you add meta-information to the iWeb HTML pages behind the masking domain name, the search engines will never see it.
This is one major downside to using masked domain forwarding.

Masking .mac without using domain forwarding but just the .mac server

I am signed up with Small Business Yahoo server but I guess the domain forwarding feature is not available. So I'm thinking of canceling the service with Yahoo. But before I do that I was wondering if I could still use my unique domain name with the .mac server but also make it so that people can't see the .mac in the url address?
Oh, and I've tried uploading my files to the Yahoo server with Fetch but that has been a disaster.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes, you can do this at Yahoo possibly just by setting a redirect HTML file in your webserver directory. Here's an example from my own forwarded and masked domain name...
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>My World: Putt-Putt's Homepage Featuring Kate Meredith! </title>
<META name="description" content="When PuttPutt isn't busy getting a diaper changed,she'll be here keeping you informed about the everyday happenings in her endless corner of the world">
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0">
<frame src="http://web.mac.com/jwtseng/iWeb/kate/" frameborder="0" />
<frame frameborder="0" noresize />
</frameset>
</html>
Just save this as a text file and name it index.html or whatever your server requires. Edit the underlined information to reflect your own website. Then place it into your webserver directory and see if it works! Let me know...
Good luck!

Google For Domains

Everything with my iPhone setup went smoothly except for my email accounts that are using Google for Domains. They are unable to communicate with the server.
Mail on the iPhone has appended the @gmail.com to my accounts which does not work.
What should be: [email protected]
becomes: [email protected]@gmail.com
Is there a solution for this? If not the mail app is basically useless for me.

I have a google's App's account, what I did was:
Choose 'Other' from the create mail (or add account)
Choose 'Pop' at the top
Name: your name (whatever it doesn't matter here)
Address : [email protected]
Description: (whatever)
Incoming
Host Name: pop.gmail.com
User Name recent:[email protected]
Password: yourgoogleapps_emailpassword
Outgoing
Host Name: smtp.gmail.com
username [email protected]
password: yourgoogleapps_emailpassword
Tip: using the 'recent:' will help your mobile device just bring down the last several emails this helps reconcile if you have more than one device using pop to get mail from your google account. you don't have to use recent: you can just use '[email protected]'
Worked great for me.. (make sure you have pop enabled on your google account) Hope this helps.

Domain forwarding to specific pages

hello!
I know this question was asked by someone else and is already answered but I cannot find that thread anymore. I did not bookmark it or something and finally gave up searching after 30 mins. I hope the one who answered it the first time will be so nice to do it again...
I use domain forwarding from a registered domain to my .mac account. That works fine but I want to give friends the link to a specific page.
The setting now is: www.domain.com --> http://web.mac.com/dotmacname/iWeb/sitename
When I try to go to for example www.domain.com/certain_page.html all I get is the index.html. I do not want to show my .mac-url but still want to be able to give people the link to a specific page. What should I do to accomplish this?
Thanx in advance!

See if you domain registrar also offers "subdomain" forwarding. For a domain name http://www.domain.com, the "www" part is the subdomain. If subdomains are allowed, then you can configure these to forward anywhere just like the main domain name.
Example:
Here is my own personal domain: http://www.dirtdoog.com
It forwards to http://web.mac.com/jwtseng/iWeb/
But I also have several subdomains that are forwarded to specific pages...
http://blog.dirtdoog.com <== goes directly to my blog
http://guestmap.dirtdoog.com <== goes directly to the guestmap
http://gallery.dirtdoog.com <== goes directly to the gallery
http://funhouse.dirtdoog.com <== goes directly to the funhouse
All of these subdomains point to specific pages of the same site. You can also forward subdomains to different sites altogether...
http://travel.dirtdoog.com <== goes to my Homepages site.
I'm sure you get the idea. Just ask your domain registrar for the details or look in your domain name account. I am with GoDaddy, so if you are too I can talk you through it.

Please make it possible to print e-mail which are forwarded from gmail (google - apps domain).

With my HP LaserJet Pro P1102w setup to use e-print which works very good.
Now I want to automatic print the e-mails when received on my (order) google apps email address.
So I setup a forwarding rule in Google Apps - gmail to the printers e-print email address.
No I got a error in ePrint Center, to many recipients.
Can you please make it possible to allow more recipients with a settings or that it is possible to forward-and-print from a gmail e-mail?
Than you have a very good e-print service!
Thanks,

Ok, I made a fresh provider hosted application to test out Dragan's suggested solution.
You can view the repository here:
https://github.com/mattmazzola/providerhosted_01
After comparing this new application and the old one, I realized I had a misunderstanding of how the SP.RequestExecutor expected urls to be constructed. I thought it was required to use the SP.AppContextSite() endpoint.
I was incorrectly constructing a request to the appWeb with a url similar to the following:
https://contoso-6f921c6addc19f.sharepoint.com/ProviderHostedApp/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/contextinfo?@target=%27https%3A%2F%2Fcontoso-6f921c6addc19f.sharepoint.com%2FProviderHostedApp%27
As you can see, the @target was set to the appWeb url but infact when making request to the appWeb using RequestExecutor you do no need to do this. It is simply appweburl + "/_api/contextinfo". It is only when making requests for
resources existing on the hostWeb that you need use the AppContextSite and set the @target.
I think the link to the solution I provided is more helpful, but I marked Dragan's reply as the answer to give him credit for helping me.

Domain forwarding to iWeb and Search word problems...

Hello out there. I have chosen to set up my company's website with iWeb. But because the url is not easy for marketing, I purchased my domain name and had that automatically forwarded to my cover page for my iWeb webpage.
example: my domain is www.SiegfriedsCall.com
this is what I advertise to my customers.
when you go to www.SiegfriedsCall.com , it is forwarded to my iWeb website http://web.mac.com/SiegfriedsCall/iWeb/SiegfriedsCall/Cover.html
This works fine, and for the most part I am happy, despite the strange changes internet explorer does to my published site. (another topic of discussion)
Question: As this is for my company, marketing the website is important. How can I verify the website in order to enter the website into the Google search engine???
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
Scott

google will eventually crawl your site anyway, and a good start is putting up links to your site. You can always post your url in this forum and also encourage others to link to your site from theirs. You will also want to consider using better titles for your pages as well as meta data and keywords. Google will use this information to index your site and make it searchable. On another note I play jazz trumpet and I really like how your site looks, well done! I don't have any sponsers yet either Kidding. Good luck

How to make ASR9000 bridge domain forward traffic between sub interfaces of same physical interface?

Hi,
I regularly use bridge domains to connect sub interfaces on different vlans using this sort of configuration:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/5.21 l2transport
description CUSTOMER A WAN
encapsulation dot1q 21
rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/10.3122 l2transport
description CUSTOMER A CORE
encapsulation dot1q 3122
rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
l2vpn
bridge group WANLINKS
bridge-domain CUSTOMERA
   interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/5.21
   interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/10.3122
When I try to use the same method to bridge two sub interfaces on the same physical interface so as to create a L2 VPN no data flows:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/5.21 l2transport
description CUSTOMER A WAN
encapsulation dot1q 21
rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/5.22 l2transport
description CUSTOMER A WAN2
encapsulation dot1q 22
rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
l2vpn
bridge group WANLINKS
bridge-domain CUSTOMERA
   interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/5.21
   interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/5.22
If I add a BVI interface to the bridge domain then the CE devices at the remote end of the WAN interface can both ping the BVI IP but they remain unable to ping each other.
Is this because tag rewrites are not happening since packets don't leave the physical interface?
How can I work around this and establish a L2 connection between the two subinterfaces?
Thank you

a vlan is usually the equivalent of an l3 subnet, so linking 2 vlans together in the same bridge domain, likely needs to come with some sort of routing (eg a BVI interface).
If these 2 vlans are still in the same subnet, then there is still arp going on, from one host to the other that traverses the bD.
you will need to verify the state of the AC, the forwarding in the BD and see if something gets dropped somewhere and follow the generic packet troubleshooting guides (see support forums for that also).
that might give a hint to what the precise issue in your forwarding is.

xander

Domains-Forwarding

I have a parked domain name which I set up to forward to my Mac site. When it forwards to the site only a blank page loads with little question marks where the elements of that page should be. So it goes to the Mac site but doesn't load. I spoke with the domain name supply company and they suggested that there may be a problem with Mac not supporting a '301 redirect'. Could this be true?

That seems unlikely, but more info is needed. Please provide the url of your .Mac site, your parked domain name, the name of the company where you have your name, and the exact url you typed into whatever redirection form you filled out.
