HT2548 how do i copy the domain file from OS 10.4 to a lion OS computer?  I made a copy of the domain file and copied it to my new computer, but it doesn't open in iweb when I double-click on it.

How do I import an iweb domain file from an ibook (OS 10.4) to an imac (OS 10.73)?
I copied the domain file from my ibook to my imac, but when I double-click on the file, it doesn't open in iweb. 

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.  Then place the domain file in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
