How to set up a domain name! HELP!

Hello! I just bought a domain name at www.name.com Now that I have it I went to iWeb>File>Set Up a Personal Domain. I wrote my domain make at mobileme.com but I can't fine the way to replace "www.web-apple" Now it says that MobileMe is configured to host my domain, but when I open my page it does not match my site. It's not working! Now I cant see my site!
Any answer is appreciated!

Did you do anything at the place where you bought your name to point it to your MobileMe site? You must do that either by url forwarding or by setting the www CNAME to web.me.com.
The name.com instructions for forwarding are here:

APEX_MAIL - how to set the SMTP Domain

APEX Version: 3.0.0.00.20
I need to be able to set the domain for mail sent from my application. I have used package UTL_SMTP in the past and have set the domain in the call:
utl_smtp.helo(conn, smtp_domain);
Is it possible to set the domain when using the APEX_MAIL package in a similar fashion, or as an attribute in APEX?
By default the domain sent appears to be 10.0.20.56 on email sent using APEX_MAIL and I cannot determine where this value is coming from. I have one user who complains that his email client is dealing with this email as spam because of this setting and I would like to set it to a different value if possible.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply (have you recovered from Brussels yet?).
I think we use an Exchange server - all of that stuff is handled by our Network Services guys. I forwarded your reply on to one of them and got the following response:
"Our mail relay (Hardy) uses its own domain name . The problem is definitely with the HELO from Ethap5, which generates a second set of headers examined by the anti-spam package."
ethap5 is the server creating the email using APEX. If I could set up the domain name via the HELO (as I can using UTL_SMTP) then that would fix the problem. If push comes to shove I may just revert to using UTL_SMTP instead of APEX_MAIL.

James

I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox. On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox. I can't remember how I set this up. Any help?

The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

How to retrieve username and domain name on Macintosh.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to retrieve username and domain name on Macintosh
Thanks
Priyanka.

There is no system property for the domain name.
Can you please tell me some other way for solving
this problem.No. If it's not an environment variable (System.getEnv IIRC) and no property, you can't get it without native calls using JNI or Runtime.exec/Process.

How to change the root domain name in window 2012 server

Got a window 2012 server build up. My root domain name looks something like corp.marketing Well I seems to have missed to add the last .com or .local. How do I add the .com to my existing root domain name please. The server is new, will
go online in few days time. Thanks for all the help.

I have a similar question and not sure if this is the right place. I had set a server with corp.brighterworld.com but the install wizard anywhere access had me believe that microsoft's strongly preferred domain name prefix was remote.brighterworld.com so
I contacted GoDaddy and had it reissued as remote. but when I went to reconfigure for the new name. I had already set the server for being a CA, and in that process it issued like 4 or 5 certificates. So I had tried to rebuild the machine from scratch, but
the it didn't wipe everything, but rather saved previous state which left the old certificate stuff to be dealt with. Any hints or help out here for us having to learn this stuff the hard way?
Thanks,

IWeb & Setting up Personal Domain Name is Brutal

I know I run the risk of getting this post taken down, but I have just spent six hours trying to have my iWeb pages sent to my domain page.
Nothing has been more difficult.
- There was no direction that I needed to get my domain name from another service.
- There was no direction suggestions where to get my domain name. (I finally for one from godaddy.com)
- The CNAME, adjustment, www etc. directions are AWFUL and absolutely no help.
There is so much more to complain about.
I am still hoping that someone can provide a point, by point directions as to how to point my domain name to my iWeb pages.
Nothing has been more difficult in my 25 years with Apple.

I think Apple did a great job, as far as it could. I used to work for a small training company in San Francisco. When I started our the first classes for HTML back in the '90's, we used text editing programs to place the graphics and all other layout. I wasn't very good at visualizing the text to how it would look, so I spent way too much time viewing pages and making corrections or tweaks. I don't type as well as I could, so typo's always killed me. With dial-up services being the norm - graphics optimization was/is key for pages to work well and required learning to use graphics tools like Photoshop 2
Some better text editing tools came out with buttons that worked similar to the Bold, Italic, Underline buttons, but they allowed us to insert the code for graphics, anchors, and links. Too Cool. Saved a lot of typing and typo's.
Then Adobe PageMill brought drag and drop to site design and I quit coding by hand. I understand the code and can fine tune it to what I want, but just grabbing the picture and placing in a table was really easy, and choosing fonts and font sizes from a menu was very nice. Then I upgraded to GoLive because I wanted to do full scale commercial sites, and use all of the other technologies that have sprung up. I would have stayed with GoLive for many more years, but right after I upgraded to GoLive 9, Adobe decided I needed to pay $200 more for a sidegrade to Dreamweaver or lose my investment and support. So I jumped at Dreamweaver with it's learning curve and tutorials, and I'm almost competent with it now after a year.
None of these programs explained how to get a domain name or set up DNS. Meanwhile, the hosting services have evolved, and they all have their own system.
I didn't use any previous version of iWeb because it was a pain to publish to anything but .mac or whatever Apple names it's server and the server has never had enough speed for me. It wasn't until iWeb '09 that I really began to take a look at it for some simple projects that could be put together in an evening, and turned over to a client for them to have fun with.
For what it does, iWeb is fantastic. I've created pages with layers and rich graphics that would have required much more work with any other program I've ever used. The learning curve for iWeb is as simple as opening a page and exploring all the buttons. Of course, you might need to understand why you would need a button, like the poster a couple of days ago, that didn't understand how to link to another page. But you catch on pretty fast.
iWeb will turn out results within a week or two, that would take you several years of study and graphics/site design to master. It has many limitations, so I wouldn't consider it for a commercial site, unless the site is a 'business card' site with show and tell, but not for retail sales, or a very large number of pages.
I'm hoping that iWeb will improve with future versions enough so that some tools for sidewide management like widgets that hold a navigation bar, that you design on your pages, and when you update the navigation bar in the widget, all the pages get updated automatically, or even the ability to change the address for a URL on one page and have it change on every page the link is on. Updates and corrections are not as easy to do with iWeb as other programs.
Still, for 5 or 10 page sites, iWeb templates take care of so many design choices that it is pretty easy to come up with something visually pleasing and informative.
All that being said, no design program has actually helped me understand a particular host's system. They are all different because they run on different versions of software like different versions of Apache or Windows server. Each company considers itself the master of security (by advertisement) and they use many different methods to control their servers and the services they offer.
Sometimes, the easiest way to get started is to go to a company like seanic.net and just sign up for their $3.92/month Linux based server. They even throw in the domain name with the deal. All of these hosting companies provide email services, ftp (some with password protection at no cost), and some provide more advanced services like SQL database, Perl scripting, and CGI-BIN. You don't need to use all of the features at once, and the tech support of a commercial company can get you going pretty quickly.
The tech support can show you where to upload your files, they set up DNS, and handle all of those other chores, so you can concentrate on designing interesting pages with iWeb.
Sorry for the blathering...

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

How to set default logon domain RD Gateway and/or RD Web

I'm using Win2k8 R2 servers with WinXP clients. When I logon to the RD Web page, and again to RD Gateway, I -have- to enter domain\username to authenticate. Anyone know how I can set the default logon domain? My users don't even know how to spell their username most of the time, let alone what domain they're in, and I only have one domain.
Thanks
Mark

Hello Mark,
Thanks for your feedback.
Based on your reply, I understand that you want to add a default domain name into Remote Desktop Web Access page, which helps the clients to know the domain their accounts are in.
You can finish this task by customizing the default login page shipped with Remote Desktop Web Access services role. However, we don’t recommend you to do that in general, because:
·          The customization of the system-shipped page may cause unexpected risk or instability.
·          The future updates or service packs for related products may overwrite the modified version you customized.
Based on the factors above, if you really need to do this customization, please note to backup both the original version and modified version of the login page, during the following customization steps:
1.     Login to the Remote Desktop Web Access role-based server with local administrative permissions.
2.     Navigate to the following location:
%windir%\Web\RDWeb\Pages\<The Language of Your Location>\
3.     Backup the login.aspx file to another location.
4.     Right click the login.aspx file, and select Edit. The file will be opened with Edit status in your default HTML editor.
5.     Change the original code section:
<input id=”DomainUserName” name=”DomainUserName” type=”text” class=”textInputField” runat=”server” size=”25” autocomplete=”off” />
to be:
<input id=”DomainUserName” name=”DomainUserName” type=”text” class=”textInputField” runat=”server” size=”25” autocomplete=”off” value=”domainname\” />
6.     Save the modification. Backup the modified version.
Please test the issue again after the steps above. Let us know the result if possible. Thanks for your cooperation again.

How do I transfert my domain name from the first registrar to business catalyst ?

Hey,
I don't find where (on the Admin Console) I have to put the EEP Key of my domain name I want to use for the website on BC. This EPP Key come from the registrar of my site that I want to transfer to BC. I want use this name domain.
Can you help me ?
Thank you.
Marion

Hi Marion,
After you have gone live with your BC site you'll need to access your domain's registrar and input our NS records.
So you'll need go where you purchased the domain to set this up. Please view the article below for step by step instructions.

How to set two DNS domain in one Remote VPN group policy

Hello experts
I am using ASA 8.2 to provide IPsec remote VPN for our staff. And in the group policy I set default domain name which is needed for our DNS server to resolve internal URLs. But the problem is now we have two domain names on our DNS server, and host names in two domains are differents. So if I setup one domain name in the group policy, URLs in the other domain cannot be resolved when using VPN. But ADSM seems doesn't allow me to setup two domain names for the attribute 'Default Domain'. What can I do?
Thanks a lot.

Come on Experts, please help. Any way to achieve that, or it's a mission impossible.

Need to set hostname and domain name

Hi All,
I need to
1) set my "hostname" (foo), and
2) set my "domain name" (acme.local)
such that my machine identifies itself as "foo.acme.local". Anyone know how to do this? (I found the host name in file sharing, but it will not let me set the domain name.)
Many thanks,

Your domain is the name of your server.
What gave you that idea? My domain name is "acme.local". It is not the name of my server. I have three servers on my network. The one with the DNS, DHCP, and firewall servers on it called "server.acme.local".
I am confused about why you feel the need to have a subdomain.
This is not a subdomain. What gave you the impression I was asking for a subdomain?
What you seek to accomplish is entirely unnecessary and far more involved than just editing a config file.
Pretty easy in Linux and Windows. They just grab the domain name from the DHCP server. Or, you can hand configure them if you wish. Do you know how accomplish same in 10.6.4?
Give your machine a name in System Preferences > Sharing and it will have the name "whatever.local". That is all you need.
I would like to the entire network name displayed correctly. "whatever.local" is incorrect. It should be "machinename.domainname" or "foo.acme.local". In my example, "foo" is the machine name ("whatever" in your example) and "acme.local" is the domain name. (Not the server's name, by the way.)
"System Preferences > Sharing" will not let me add any extra periods. And will not let me change the ".local" either. (In this instance, I want the ".local".)
Here is the reverse rule I had to hand create:
182 PTR foo.acme.local.
(The dot on the end is not a mistake.)
I do not want a stray computer floating around that does not identify itself correctly. "foo.acme.local" is correct. "foo.local" is not.
By the way, this computer gets its IP address from a DHCP server, which does tell this Apple what the domain name is. (It gets ignored.)
/etc/dhcpd.conf
option domain-name "acme.local";
That is the config file for your DHCP server. You would use this if your machine were sharing its internet connection, for example. You don't need to edit this file.
You misunderstand. The DHCP server, not on this Mac, is not being used to share Internet connections. It is being used to assign IP addresses to machines on the local network. It is also being used to assign fixed IP's to network printers based on their MAC addresses. In my network, these are "off Internet" addresses. The firewall, also not on this Mac, it used to share a single Internet connection with all the internal users.
Hmmm. I created the file (dhcpd.conf) by hand. And, yes I do need to edit it all the time. Especially when I have bone headed machines on my network that do not follow or respond to standard networking conventions. This Mac does not accept the domain name given to it by my DHCP server and as such my DHCP server will not automatically update my DNS tables.
Evidence of this can be found in the dhcpd.leases, where I had to hand enter
client-hostname "foo";
into the lease table (did not do me any good).
I am wondering if 10.6.4 is not capable of handling this kind of standard network naming convention. (FreeBSD, which Apple run on top, is capable, so I am confused.)
MacOS X does not run on top of FreeBSD. They are different operating systems. MacOS X has a POSIX layer which most closely resembles BSD, that is all.
Interesting. Thank you for pointing out the difference. I bet POSIX know how, just like FreeBSD, which it resembles.
If I change the name in /etc/hosts, will Apple over ride it? (I am not at the machine or I would just try it.)
You do not "change" the name in /etc/hosts. You are just adding entries into your machine's lookup table. You can add as many aliases to as many IP addresses as you want. This is not the same as changing your machine's name, but it may be sufficient for what you are trying to accomplish - assuming I knew that, which I don't.
Then, where do I make the change?
10.6.4 did not tell the DHCP server what its name was either, so I had to hand add it into my DNS forward and reverse records. AAAAHHHHH!!!!
I strongly advise against editing files you don't understand.
I create my entire DNS configuration by hand, including my forward and reverse tables. Oh yes, I understand it, do I ever understand it. You should not jump to conclusions: it is insulting. I am presuming you meant no insult. Just be more careful next time.
I think that what is happening here is that 10.6.4 is not set up to follow standard network naming conventions. I would posit that the idea is to keep home users out of trouble. Probably a good thing. If 10.6.4 is not capable of using standard naming conventions, (or following standard DHCP conventions), I would just like a confirmation of that so I will stop trying to figure out how to do it. And, stop wasting my time and just hand configure any additional Mac's that enter my network.
Again, a "confirmation that it can not be done", or "how to do it" is what I am looking for.
Thank you for the assistance,
-T

How to determine the Current Domain name from inside an Mbean / Java Prog

We have registered an Application Defined MBean. The mbean has several APIs. Now we want to determine the currrent domain using some java api inside this Mbean. Similarly we have deployed a Webapp/Service in the Weblogic domain. And inside this app we need to know the current Domain. Is there any java api that will give this runtime information.
Note: We are the MBean providers not clients who can connect to the WLS (using user/passwd) and get the domain MBean and determine the domain.
Fusion Applcore

Not sure if this will address exactly what you are looking to do, but I use this technique all the time to access runtime JMX information from within a Weblogic deployed application without having to pass authentication credentials. You are limited, however, to what you can access via the RuntimeServiceMBean. The example class below shows how to retrieve the domain name and managed server name from within a Weblogic deployed application (System.out calls only included for simplicity in this example):
package com.yourcompany.jmx;
import javax.management.MBeanServer;
import javax.management.ObjectName;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
public class JMXWrapper {
    private static JMXWrapper instance = new JMXWrapper();
    private String domainName;
    private String managedServerName;
    private JMXWrapper() {
    public static JMXWrapper getInstance() {
        return instance;
    public String getDomainName() {
        if (domainName == null) {
            try {
                MBeanServer server = getMBeanServer();
                ObjectName domainMBean = (ObjectName) server.getAttribute(getRuntimeService(), "DomainConfiguration");
                domainName = (String) server.getAttribute(domainMBean, "Name");
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                System.out.println("Caught Exception: " + ex);
                ex.printStackTrace();
        return domainName;
    public String getManagedServerName() {
        if (managedServerName == null) {
            try {
                managedServerName = (String) getMBeanServer().getAttribute(getRuntimeService(), "ServerName");
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                System.out.println("Caught Exception: " + ex);
                ex.printStackTrace();
        return managedServerName;
    private MBeanServer getMBeanServer() {
        MBeanServer retval = null;
        InitialContext ctx = null;
        try {
            //fetch the RuntimeServerMBean using the
            //MBeanServer interface
            ctx = new InitialContext();
            retval = (MBeanServer) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jmx/runtime");
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out.println("Caught Exception: " + ex);
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            if (ctx != null) {
                try {
                    ctx.close();
                } catch (Exception dontCare) {
        return retval;
    private ObjectName getRuntimeService() {
        ObjectName retval = null;
        try {
            retval = new ObjectName("com.bea:Name=RuntimeService,Type=weblogic.management.mbeanservers.runtime.RuntimeServiceMBean");
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out.println("Caught Exception: " + ex);
            ex.printStackTrace();
        return retval;
}I then created a simply test JSP to call the JMXWrapper singleton and display retrieved values:

How can i edit the domain name ?

Hello,
I tried to register my first website through business catalyst.The domain name i took was www.wildixel.com . But, when i am trying to open the website it open other website with the same name. I guess it was already taken. Now i want to edit the domain name. Please let me know how can i.
Thanks

Hi there,
Could you please explain more what you are trying to do and have done?
You can not purchase a domain name through Business Catalyst so you would have not obtained a domain you listed there. You have to by it from a domain registra.
If you have just entered a domain into the domain manager of your website but have not purchased the domain, this will not work. You have to obtain the domain first.
If you have got your domain, have you gone into the domain settings of BC and added the domain in? Have you gone to the domain registra and changed either the A-record or the NS records to point to your BC site?

How to set "Title" as "File Name" in iPhoto 5?

iPhoto lets you batch rename the title for your photo library of a given roll. So if you have say "Vacation" you can set title to all the photos in there as Vacation -1 , Vacation -2 etc. etc. But, this is just the title for iphoto database. The actual filename will still be as IMG_xxx.jpg (or whatever is default in your digital camera).
Is there a way to set the Title as File name ?? I already have 1000+ photos iphoto and title is all set as my Roll Name - xx . But it will be great to have file names set as the title too.
I think I can batch rename in Image Capture before downloading the files, but then I have to again import those in iPhoto , so its two step process and inconvenient.
So, does anyone know how to set File name as Title ( you can only do other way around in iPhoto, I think) ? Any script available which can read iPhoto title and set the file name as Title? Thanks.

Hi kothrush,
You must rename in the Finder first, before importing into iPhoto.
You cannot do it after importing into iPhoto. Well, you can. You can share export the renamed images to the desktop. Delete the ones in iPhoto, then import the renamed ones back into iPhoto. That's a lot more steps.
Whatever you do, you cannot rename any images in the Finder that are already in the iPhoto Library or iPhoto will lose the link to the images.
