Help with personal domain and GoDaddy

I have created a website using iWeb.
I have added my personal domain to my .mac account
I have changed the www CNAME to point to web.mac.com (at GoDaddy)
If I enter www.mydomainname.com to takes me to my parked site.
If I enter mydomainname.com (without www)it takes me to my website.
Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it?

I have been trying for the last week and a half to put my iWeb on Godaddy and am having a terrible time. How did you do it???????? love, Mary
If you are still talking about uploading to Godaddy via FTP, please respond in your earlier thread.

  • Personal Domain and GoDaddy How To

    I saw the threads and think everyone is doing it the hard way. I too am with godaddy but godaddy uses a third party registrar. I don't remember the details on how i found the phone number, but somewhere on godaddy it tells you. Actually I think I just called godaddy and asked for registrar's phone number. Call the registrar and simply ask them to change CName to "web.mac.com". The guy said that he thought this wouldn't work but I said just do it because that's what Apple says to do. So he did and the next day it worked. (as it takes a day to go into effect) Piece of cake!

    See if this helps ...
    Greetings,
    Along with the numerous complaints about the reliability of iWeb '08, many of us have also had trouble setting up .Mac to host our " personal domains". Godaddy has always made it easy to redirect sites to .Mac addresses and "mask" those sites. However ... some of the directions for using "unmasked" URL's on .Mac have been a bit confusing. After following many tips found in the Discussion Boards here I too had no success. I wrote GoDaddy and they quickly responded to my e-mail with the following simple reply which required only one change in ONE FIELD after setting up your personal domain with .Mac.
    I've copied the steps sent by GoDaddy to find the field below (for those of us who are not so web savvy and have no idea what CNAMES, DNS, or XM RECORDS are or mean).
    1. Log in to your Account Manager.
    2. From the Domain Names menu, select Manage Domains. The Domain Control Center opens.
    3. In your list of domain names, click on the domain name that you want to view. The Details for the selected domain display.
    4. Under the Total DNS Control section, click Manage Subdomains or Total DNS Control and MX Records. (Middle Column under NAME SERVERS)
    5. Click the edit button next to the www CNAME
    6. Follow the on screen directions from here to the change the points to host.
    (You'll want to enter in the section for CNAMES ... the first line "WWW" ... Points to "@" ... change the "@" to "web.mac.com")
    It took only seconds after making this change for my iWeb site to redirect to my personal domain at .Mac and for all my URL's to read properly.
    Best of luck!

  • Personal Domain and MobileMe

    Once I changed my settings to my Personal Domain, I could no longer post my second MobileMe site. Can I use a Personal Domain and have more than one MobileMe site?

    This is incorrect. You can only use the personal domain name option with CNAME forwarding ONCE for every MobileMe account. If you want other sites, then you can publish as many as you want and they will have the url http://web.me.com/username/sitename. If you want to use domain names with these sites, then you can, but you have to use ordinary masked or unmasked web forwarding so that your domain is forwarded to web.me.com/username/sitename.
    Also, why do you persist in placing links that don't work? Try clicking on your WordPress link and it comes up every time with server not found.

  • How to Publish to a personal domain AND .Mac?

    I had a working iWeb site published to web.mac and it working fine. I added a new site in iWeb08 and set up a personal domain. When I selected the new site and published, BOTH my old site and the new one published to my personal domain. How do I tell iWeb08 to publish one site to a personal domain and another site to .Mac (.Me)?

    This post is a little confusing. Do you have two sites hosted at MMe or not?
    Do you mean that you used to host your business site and MMe and have now switched to uploading directly to your web host using ftp? If you have, then you can of course delete this site from your iDisk/MMe account, because if you have uploaded directly, then MMe has nothing to do with your domain name any more.
    If you have not done this and you are hosting both your sites on your MMe account via either CNAME or web forwarding, then no, you can't delete that site because if you do, there is nowhere to forward to.
    Password protection will not affect any other sites that you have. Just go into iWeb and set this up and then re-publish and it will just affect that site that you set it up for. Nothing else.

  • Personal Domains and Email Accounts

    I have a client that wants to use personal domain names and also wants to use email addresses with these domains. Do we need to set him up and have the website point to his .mac pages and then have the email set up on another server? Can you create email accounts to work with personal domains through .Mac?
    Holla at me and let me know!!!

  • Multiple Web Sites with Personal Domain Names - Overview

    I have read through the last 10 pages of these discussions and have almost worked this out, but I need some help.
    Problem:
    I want to publish and edit two separate web sites with their own, individual, personal web addresses
    from the same user account on the same Mac using iWeb '08 (2.0.2) and my .Mac account
    _So far:_
    I have purchased and registered the two domain names (with Cheap-DomainRegistration.com)
    I have configured the CNAME to point to web.mac.com, and "Set up a Personal Domain" in iWeb successfully, but using a separate Mac for each web site.
    The two sites work great.
    _What (I think) I need to know:_
    (excuse me for copying these posts out, but I can't find a way to link them to this post)
    1) Should I be using iWebSites as suggested by Old Toad (posted Jan 24 in response to StAnNe's "Multiple Websites--HELP!!!")?
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    2) Should I be using Mireille's approach (also posted Jan 24 in response to StAnNe's "Multiple Websites--HELP!!!")?
    Yes you are correct in the thought that with a family pack you can use different accounts and that is the easiest way to upload with one click to .mac. But it is still possible to publish differents sites to one .mac account if that is all one has. Even if the sites are in one domain file each purchased mysite.com domain name purchased can be pointed to a different page in the site
    Look at it this way
    Original Poster has
    site1 page 1 page 2 and so on
    then he/she has brothersite page 1 and so on.
    They each have a domain name purchase wherever
    then site1domain.com is forwarded to site 1 page1
    and brotherdomain.com is forwarded to brothersite page 1.
    Even though both sites are in the same file they do not have anything to do with each other.
    This is one possibility there are others but for a novice user this could be the way to go for simplicity.
    (Mireille, if you're there, can you clarify what you said - thank you)
    3) Would I use Roddy's fix (posted Jan 23 in response to canadensis' "Publishing Multiple Websites?")?
    Here's an example of how you can separate two websites that are on the same domain file.
    Quit iWeb
    Create a new folder on your desktop and call it "iWeb Sites".
    Inside this folder create two more - Website A, Website B.
    Go to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb and copy your domain file - command C
    Paste this into folders A and B - command V - and also paste a copy of it somewhere else - like in Docs - in case you make a mistake!
    Double click the domain file in the folder Website A - this will launch iWeb.
    In the left column, delete site B, save and quit iWeb.
    Double click the domain file in the folder Website B to launch iWeb.
    Delete website A, save and quit.
    Drop the iWeb sites folder into your Home Folder.
    If you want quick access to this folder you can highlight it and do command L to create an alias to leave on the desktop.
    From now on, to launch any site in iWeb you open its folder in the iWebsites folder and double click the domain file.
    This is not necessary when you are working on only one site as iWeb saves the domain file of the last site you were working on to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb. When you open the iWeb application, the last site you worked on will be launched.
    Summary:
    I'm not sure if some of the answers in previous discussions allow for personal domain names, which is what I need.
    I would be very grateful for any suggestions as I'm getting bogged down.
    Many Thanks,
    Jeff

    When you said, "you don't need to do CNAME for both sites…", would this method still allow me to use personal web addresses for both sites?
    Yes. With "Ordinary Forwarding" you normally just type your .Mac url (web.mac.com/username/sitename) into a form at the place where you have your name.
    I thought I was using 'web.mac.com' as the 'www' CNAME (alias) for my personal domain name (web address), so that when someone typed in my personal domain name they would 'go' to the domain registration location, which would then pass it on to the .Mac server, where my web site is hosted.
    That's exactly right. It's just not the only way to do that. Ordinary Forwarding is another way, but it differs in terms of what appears in the address bar of the browser. Either you will see web.mac.com/username/.... or, if you add "masking", you will see your personal name for all pages. The CNAME method results in a address bar that reads www.myname.com/sitename/pagename.html.
    Am I way off?
    All help gratefully received,
    Jeff

  • Personal Domains and Multiple Sites

    Hi, I've looked through several pages worth of questions but none of them seems to be exactly like what I want to get done.
    First, I have 2 sites in iWeb. The second was created in iWeb '08 just because of the addition of the Personal Domain feature and so for the first time, I want a site that is hosted at Mac.com.
    The first site is hosted elsewhere. I always publish to a folder and use an FTP software to upload it.
    So, obviously, what I want to do is to use "Publish to .Mac" to upload my 2nd website ONLY to .Mac. But, iWeb seems to want to publish both. Even after I deleted the 1st website manually in iDisk, iWeb will publish a folder with the 1st website's name and throw in some content (like feed.xml, and "Media" and "Scripts" directories).
    So, Question 1, can I make iWeb to stop this? Or, will have to create multiple Domain files and manage the 2 sites separately?
    The other question is this. I just set up a CNAME thingy with Godaddy.
    Let's say my domain is www.hogehoge.com.
    I set the CNAME alias to web.mac.com.
    In iWeb, I call the 2nd website "hogehoge" (just so I know which site it is). When iWeb publishes that site, everything goes inside
    Web/Sites/hogehoge
    And when I access the site at www.hogehoge.com, the index.html in Web/Sites
    will redirect me to the index.html (or, since I currently only have the blog file, /blog/blog.html file) inside the hogehoge directory, so the address looks like
    www.hogehoge.com/hogehoge/blog/blog.html
    but that *****. I don't want the second "hogehoge". Is there any way to get rid of that?
    Hope those questions were clear enough...

    I've just started with multiple iWeb sites. While I still need to look at one of these utilities to manage multiple websites independently, I think I already figured out how to publish to multiple .Mac accounts from within my main user. The method below worked for me, although it published my entire set of sites, so yeah, still need to work around that.
    Granted, having multiple users on your Mac, each associated with specific .Mac accounts would certainly work, and the cost is $0, but depending on where you keep files you need to access for each web site (like iphoto, itunes, etc), hopping between users could be a bit messy. I suppose you could store everything in the SHARED folder in the User directory, though.
    THE METHOD
    Assuming you have a utility to manage multiple iWeb sites (the two popular ones seem to be iWebsite (free) and Multisite (shareware), neither of which I've tried yet), I THINK another way you can publish to a specific .Mac account is simply to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES, click on the .Mac icon, and then SIGN OUT of your current .Mac account (do this right before you're ready to publish). You are then presented with a dialog to sign in to a different .Mac account ---> enter the access to the one you want to publish to. Now, when you hit 'Publish to .Mac' in iWeb, it defaults to THIS account and publishes it there. You just have to remember to go back into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and log back in to your original .Mac account when you're finished publishing.
    The advantage to this, as I see it, is staying in my primary user and having access to all the files I need, as well as being able to switch to other apps and running programs in my primary account without issue.
    Again, relatively new to iWeb, and I haven't played too much with this, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong ....

  • Personal Domains and the index file

    Ok, I have a number of sites that I use through .mac, and now I have ONE of my sites that I want to use on a personal domain. When I set it to publish to a folder and put the address in, it will only do the FIRST of my sites, and it will only do it as a subdirectory, and not create it as the index file for the site.
    Help!
    Todd
    PS Yes the CNAME has been changed for the site, so it is talking fine with iWeb.

    When I set it to publish to a folder and put the address in,
    The address is only to make sure your RSS feed is correct.
    it will only do the FIRST of my sites, and it will only do it as a subdirectory, and not create it as the index file for the site.
    I'm not sure what you think should happen, but iWeb normally publishes all your sites, each in its own folder with the same name as the site has inside the iWeb app. It will also publish one index.html file alongside those folders, and this goes with the topmost site inside iWeb.
    Before publishing to a folder, make sure the site you intend to upload via ftp is topmost in the iWeb site organizer. After publishing, upload the index.html file plus the folder which has the name of that site.

  • Hello I have a few questions and I need some help with my iTunes and  iPod

    Hello iTunes people.
    I have a little problem with my iTunes. I actually almost know nothing about iTunes really. But I have had a 80 gig ipod .. ummm I think it's a iPod classic maybe. A long time ago I just downloaded iTunes. I think one of my tech friends already had put the program onto my PC so I did not even have to download it. Anyways I put my life's collection of mp3's onto iTunes and then syncs it with my iPod and it worked great. Here is my problem. I just recently bought a MONSTER PC. I have lovingly named it " ED209 " I downloaded iTunes for it and I have the most up to date version.8.1.1 is the most current version correct? Ok well here is my problem. What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library. I DO NOT want to import anything from the library or playlist or whatever you call it ONTO the iPod because there is nothing in the library. Now this is were its gets weird and possibly silly. A person I was chatting with on Facebook sort of made fun of me because she was like " Dude! Just push " Sync " But the reason I am paranoid is because THIS is the message I get....
    " The iPod " Aaron's iPod " is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this iTunes library? "
    HOLY COW!! That girl on Facebook was making fun of me but READ THAT. That exactly says ERASE the "iPod" and Sync with THIS library " It does not say put what is ON the iPod into THIS Library. It says it the other way around. Clear as day it says it will ERASE the " Ipod " it does not say " Fill the library with whats on your iPod "
    Do I all of a sudden not understand English or something???? I know how to freaking read and from what it says is sounds a 100 percent like " we will ERASE youe iPod and put everything from this playist or library onto your iPiod" But there is NOTHING in my library? Am I mentally challenged or what?
    I hope someone can help me here and I have another request. Could someone just tell me all the cool things I can do with iTunes and my iPod? I am trying to read the help files and the FAQ and whatever else Apple provides you with but it has SO MUCH crap that looks usless. I find myself reading a whole paragraph about some simple little section of s section of a section of a feature! Know what I mean. Someone give me the long and short of the neat things I can do with this stuff. I have windows Vista with a wicked computer that has like 6 gigs of ram and m iPod is a 80 GB Classic
    help !!
    PROTEUS

    *What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library.*
    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
