How to redirect viewers to my iWeb site on a new domain?

I've moved my website to a new domain with a new Web host (which was much easier than I expected). Now, I'd like to redirect anyone who clicks on my old site to my new one, but I haven't found a way to do that. Any suggestions?

If you use personal domain at MobileMe then nothing will change.
Delete the CNAME record where you manage your domainname and point to your new host.
It takes a few hours for the change to propagate thru the network, so do not delete your MMe site yet.
Your visitor won't notice.
If you use the web.me.com address then it is more complicated.
Duplicate the index.html file in your site folder as many times as there are webpages and rename each duplicate to the name of each webpage. You have to delete the original webpage.
Then open each renamed file in a plaintext/HTML editor of your choice and change the redirect URL to the same page on your new host.
It looks like this :
<html><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=http://url.to.new.page.html"></head><body></body></html>
Do so AFTER you publish to your new host.
Practice.

How do I get my old iweb sites into the new iweb 08 after upgrading?

I upgraded and now the new iweb 08 does not see all my old web site pages. How do Igetnthem into the new application?

I had a similar issure after buying a new iMac and trying to get my iweb sites onto the new computer. I called Apple tech support and they told me to copy the file "domain.site" form the user/library/application support/iweb folder from my old imac into the iweb folder located in the same directory on my new computer. Once it is copied to the new location, double click on the "domain.site" file and it should open in the new iweb program. They told me to check all the pages to make sure it works OK in the program. My problem is that the new iweb program crashed everytime I double click on the "domain" file. Hope this helps.

Pointing iweb site to a new domain

Can anyone give me the answer.
I have published my site on my .mac account.
I then brought a domain from web-mania.com
I now want to point my new domain name to the website on my .mac account.
I have emailed web-mania with no joy as they keep coming back saying that they don't host sites and i can't make them understand that my site is hosted on dotmac and all i want to do is just point my new website to that domain.

I'm having the same sort of issue, but I think I figured it out. The only thing is . . .they say it could be 48 hours before it works. Anway, I purchased mine from "godaddy.com" and the instructions I followed were to add the "CNAME" also referred to as a DNS control panel, MX record or Alias (you'll find this option under your account manager probably). The CNAME for iWeb galleries is "web.mac.com" . I'm hoping this works for me, and I hope it helps you too! I have plans with a friend that is an expert tonight, so I'm going to pick his brain and figure it out, I'll report back if what I've told you is wrong!

How can I still edit my iWeb site on new iMac

My mid 2007 24" iMac which has served me well has memory problems. I now work with much larger projects ( Logic Studio + video ) than earlier, and have to continually keep clearing the memory as I work. I have the maximum 4 GB RAM ).
This is halting progress so seriously that I'm considering changing it for a new iMac .... 27".
My question is: How can I still edit my iWeb site on a new iMac, when iLife is no longer included, and so presumably OS 10.7 doesn't support iWeb ?
Will be grateful for insights.
Thanks,
SeaDream.

Well thanks. Sounds so complicated, though. Would another option be to backup my present Mac HD ( with Snow Leopard ) to an external HD and simply edit iWeb from there ?
As long as I also backed up this external HD, would this be a possibility ?

How do I set up my iWeb site so customers can pay by credit card?

How do I set up my iWeb site so customers can pay by credit card?

The payment can be handled by PayPal, Google Checkout etc. Button codes are put on the sales page and you can hook up with any type of shopping cart.
This, and the following two pages, show an example of a website sales page, paypal and digital delivery via a shopping cart...

How can I transfer JUST ONE IWeb site to another computer?

I am new to making IWeb sites and am now making them for
other people. I have about 10 sites in my IWeb folder and need to
be able to give a person's site to them.
I need to be able to transfer JUST ONE site to another computer.
Right now, I am only able to transfer ALL the sites I have made to
another mac and then, it wipes out all their sites! How can I prevent
the ultimate wipe out of all their iweb sites yet give them JUST ONE
of mine?
thank you in advance,
Beth http://www.yourzensite.com

First, read Wyodor's post about changing the publishing settings HERE.
You can create the extra folders in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb or, as I do, in a folder named iWeb in the Home folder.
Create a folder for each website, give it a suitable name and paste the Domain.sites2 file with all the websites into each.
Open each one in turn, double click the Domain.sites2 file to launch it in iWeb, delete all the sites except the one whose name is the same as the folder name, save and quit.
Now you can launch any site individually in iWeb and sent a copy of the appropriate folder to the client.

How can outside users access my iWeb sites shared via Web Sharing

Since the coming demise of mobileme/idisk I have decided to publish all of my websites locally (created with iWeb) and share them by the Web Sharing feature in OS X. Everything works perfectly from any computer or device that is on my home network but once I am outside my network I cannot access any of my website nor can any family members. I have an airport network at home using an airport extreme and numerous computers and devices (ipods, ipad, etc) on the network. All can access from within the network but not from outside. What can I do to fix this?
I don't want to use a commercial service since my sites are large. Tried Dropbox and it was too cumbersome.
Thanks,
Chris

Here is some info on hosting your website yourself:
_WWW FAQs: How do I host a real domain name at home?_
_How do I host my own website at home?_
_Should I host my own web server?_ - This one describes the pitfalls of hosting yourself.
I agree with Roddy. For about $3.95 per month you can get a fuil service host complete with 24/7 ear-to-ear customer support and all the bells and whistles at HostExcellence.com.
This tutorial descrtibes how it works so well with iWeb: iW16 - Using HostExcellence.com with iWeb as does this website: Using HostExcellence - iWebFAQ.org

How do I get my Old iWeb Sites off my External HD (1 Domain file) and onto my new internal HD?

I justrecently had to replace my internal HD on my iMac. Before doing it, I backed up my 2 iWeb Sites (the Domain File) onto my external HD.
Now I have a new Internal HD on my iMac.
When I open my domain file located on my external HD, iWeb opens. Now I'd like to save the file back onto my internal HD.
How do I save my 2 web sites that I now see on the left back onto my internal HD. (When I click on "File", "Save", it just saves it again on the external HD, because it's reading the file from the external HD?)
Thanks....
Brian

You need to copy the domain.sites file from the external hard drive into your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the new hard drive. If there is no iWeb folder in the Applicaiton Support folder create one.
Be sure it's your home library that you're working in.

How can I upload my iWeb site to 2 different domain addresses?

I have two different domain names, but I want to publish one iWeb site to both addresses.
I can't work out how to do it, I was thinking to duplicate the whole site but using the other address. Then I would have to make indiviual changes to both sites when updating content etc.
There must be an easier way to do this, I am missing something?

Your info says you use iWeb 08.
That means you publish to a folder.
If so, iWeb is not involved. You decide what to do with the published files on the desktop.
With iWeb 09 you only have one FTP address. To publish to another server you have to change the publish info.
But everytime you do that, iWeb will publish the entire site.
You can't have both. iWeb was not meant for that.
Anyway, you provided the solution yourself : duplicate websites for each server.
There's actually no need to make the changes in each site.
Make changes in one site, and duplicate the page to the other site.
Then publish.

How to copy one of my iWeb sites to another computer

I have version 3.0.2 of iWeb.
I created a site for someone else on my computer and now I want to give/transfer that site to another computer that has iWeb.
How do I do this? I read something about all the iWeb files being in the Application Support/iWeb/Domain file, but having never heard of this before, I don't know how to JUST load that SINGLE site and not all of my iWeb sites.
I was hoping that it was/is something as easy as copying and pasting a Word document.
Help?
Sara

Duplicate the domain file that contains all of the sites. Move it to the other computer and open it with iWeb. Select the sites that you don't want and delete them from within iWeb leaving just the one site.

Publishing iWeb site to .Mac personal domain

I set up Personal Domain on .Mac & added the cname on my account with Network Solutions & are waiting for the changes to take effect now. But I have 2 sites in iWeb. How do I get the right site on the personal domain.

Hi again,
My Problem is that it is not clear how to redirect mlwhall.com --> www.mlwhall.com
Since CNAME is for aliases, I am not sure how to point mlwhall.com since that is the root name. The A (host) will only take an IP address, so I assume that if I am going to do this I need to do it in the CNAME section (pinging did not get me a useable IP address). I cannot believe I am the only person that wants to do this -- setting up domain forwarding does not seem to work either
Is it not common for people to want to have www.blah.com and blah.com to resolve to the same place?
----Martin----
And yes -- I meant to say that I made a CNAME alias for www that points to web.mac.com as pointed out in the personal domain instructions.

Import iweb site in a new macbook

hi, i'm french sorry for my english
so my macbook hard disk broked last week, i buy a new macbook pro
but how can i do to continue my web site with iweb09 ?
i have no data just on my idisk and iweb says "open problem with the file ....iweb/Domains.sites2.
how can i do ?
thanks

Welcome to the discussions. Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

Moving iweb site to my new computer?

I just bought a new macbook pro. I am attempting to move my iweb domain to the macbook. I backed up the domain on my old computer (imacG5) to my idisk. I burned all the files onto a dvd. I want to move these files (five sites) into the domain file on my macbook pro. I am sitting here like a moron looking at the files; I've read th e posts that say to copy my domain to the new computer, but my domain is a big package of files and I am not sure how to "copy" them so they will open on my new computer.
Thanks for any help!
John Fitz

The Domain file should appear as a single file (though it is a "package" of files like you mention). Copying it to your new MacBookPro should be as easy as drag and drop. I would put it into the same default location as you found it...on your hard drive..../Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/... Drop it in this folder and if you are asked to overwrite and existing Domain file, this should be okay as long as you have not already started a new site on your new MacBook Pro.
Once you have this file copied over, you should be able to open iWeb on the new computer and see all your sites in the Site Organizer. Again, so that there is no confusion, the file that you need is called "Domain". Let me know if you have any trouble.
If you have found any of this information to be useful to you, please take the time to provide me with feedback by marking my reply as "solved" or "helpful" using those little buttons that you see in the title bar of this reply. I'd really appreciate it!
