IWeb (08) and Multisites - My Site is Gone

Downloaded and opened Multisites and launched iWeb(08) and my "site" on iweb (08) was gone. The site is still up and running on .mac and the web.
Found domainfile in Documents but when I click and open it fron my desktop I still just get a "new site" in iweb (08). I tried that a few times. Have I completely lost the original by opening and reopening mulitsites and iweb.
I have all my files, archives etc still on my drive just no domain file.
I had also emptied my trash and in this maybe my problem.
Thanks in advance for any help that you are able to supply.
Frustrated and not looking forward to maybe rebuilding my site..
Debbie

You do not need any of those apps to manage your domain.sites2.
1) You can double-click on it to start iweb.
2) Domain.sites2 does not have to be named as such, they can be named anything as long as you keep .sites2 extension:
http://11mystics.com/blog/2007/09/08/how-do-you-manage-multiple-domain-files-for -iweb/
3) You can start a new Domain.sites2 with a simpe AppleScript, see my posts here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6007612
on #3, if it is too much to understand; you can email me at hac<dot>le@sbcglobal<dot>net , I'll send you the AppleScript.
Making a new domain.sites2 is quite important, and a few of you here know that you can not merge your domain.sites2.
And the reason is iWeb2 is loaded with UUIDs and when you duplicate an existing domain.sites2, you will have problems.
Who here wants to know about UUID and iweb?

  • HELP! iWeb Application opening up older site and pages.

    Last night, I accidently deleted a site I built in iWeb. After much heartache, I rebuilt the entire site, republished it & everything was fine. I deleted older (dated files) & trashed them. Everything seemed fine this morning.
    Now, I open up iWeb appication and the older site & pages which I had thought I had originally deleted is coming up and my most recent rebuilt site is now gone.
    Not sure what happened, but the most recent rebuilt site is what I want, not the older one.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!!!

    My new rebuilt site is still correct and showing up in my browser because I haven't republished the older site - which is now showing up in iWeb application.
    It's the older site and pages that are showing up in the iWeb application. When I rebuilt the site, I updated it, so I'd like to be able to make changes and republish this most recent site when necessary.

  • An error occurred while publishing file "/Web/Sites/iWeb/Jim and Steph's Si

    I'm guessing this is a common message most see when they try to publish their website. Reason I say this, is it is the only message I have recieved in the last week when trying to use this faulty software.
    Here it is again if you missed it:
    An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/Jim and Steph's Site/Jim's Blog”.
    I got this MacBook week ago yesterday. Totally excited to share pictures and blog information. Spent 99 dollars or close to it for a mac account to simply share this information on the web. The first four pages (all pictures), I published worked well. Then I updated to iWeb 1.1.1 and tried to publish with blogs and more pictures and it won't work. Now all that I published before does not even come up. I emailed support here on mac.com and got the generic reply that I have already read on this forum. I tired as many fixes as I could to no avail. Two questions:
    1. Any ideas to fix this problem?
    2. Can you get your money back?
    Sorry this was so long.
    Thanks everyone,
    Jim B

    Jim...
    Try doing a "Publish All to .Mac" if nothing else works for you. And if I could make a recommendation, it probably wouldn't be a bad thing to simplify your site name (Jim and Steph's Site) and eliminate the apostrophes (also in Jim's Blog). A longer site URL with complexities such as punctuation and spaces and even capitalization can potentially wreak havoc on your site navigation and function. Simplifying your site and page names will at the very least lead to shorter and more recognizable URLs...and when you start to add more pages it will also make the navigation menu at the top of your pages look "cleaner". Think simple names, like "oursite" and "HeSays" or "SheSays"
    Just a suggestion.

  • IWeb and Club web site...access restricted to club members

    I have just volunteered to 'think about' doing our local harley owners group website since the last webmaster has jacked it in.
    The old site has gone and I will have to start from fresh. It will be hosted on a commercial local server with server space and domain name already registered.
    I have seen reference to password protected areas of websites created using iWeb, and although possible it does not seem that iWeb is actually designed for the job. Also the threads i have seen do not seem to be referring to multiple usernames and pwds, stored in a database, but rather a single username/pwd
    What the proposed new site needs is a public area, plus a private area with each member having access using there own Username and password. The Private area would need a Classified 'For sale ' area with members being to add and upload their own ads.
    is this sort of thing possible from within iWeb or is it way outside its capabilities?
    I thought it best to ask now...before I build the basic public site, and make a start on the private section...only to then find it is not possible
    Thanks
    Neil

    Something exactly like that....fancy an unpaid job?
    Guess I'll have to get to grips with the thing (iWeb) and see what I can do.
    Before I ask any more questions, I'll have to have a play with it before asking such things as ....how did you do......
    I made this one up using it a week or so ago...
    http://www.paisnel.co.uk/hog
    My old ones from years back were done in ....who knows...some freeware Windows WYSIWYG editors

  • IWeb Site Just Gone! Can I import the HTML info???

    Not sure how, but iWeb no longer shows my website in the organizer. I tried looking for the domain file and it's gone also. I know I was saving every 30 mins. Just gone. I do have the folder that I published too. When I open the index.html file the site loads like it should. But I can't do anything in iWeb. I really don't want the last 3 days of work to be a waste.
    Please Help.

    Did you happen to upgrade or create the site in iWeb '08 and then try to open from another drive or partition in '06? '06 does not open '08 domain files. That's the only explanation I can think of for the "disappearance."
    If your site is till online, you may be able to "suck' the elemnts back:

How do I get the nav bar to load up and show? It was a disaster loading up my site as it changed the case of the letters and at first no pages were seen, so I had to go through and change the letters that were supposed to be cap, back to cap in every file.

  • Ask the Expert: Single-Site and Multisite FlexPod Infrastructure

    With Haseeb Niazi and Chris O'Brien 
    Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about Single-Site and Multisite FlexPod Infrastructure with experts Haseeb Niazi and Chris O'Brien.
    This is a continuation of the live webcast.
    FlexPod is a predesigned and prevalidated base data center configuration built on Cisco Unified Computing System, Cisco Nexus data center switches, NetApp FAS storage components, and a number of software infrastructure options supporting a range of IT initiatives. FlexPod is the result of deep technology collaboration between Cisco and NetApp, leading to the creation of an integrated, tested, and validated data center platform that has been thoroughly documented in a best practices design guide. In many cases, the availability of Cisco Validated Design guides has reduced the time to deployment of mission-critical applications by 30 percent.
    The FlexPod portfolio includes a number of validated design options that can be deployed in a single site to support both physical and virtual workloads or across metro sites for supporting high availability and disaster avoidance. This session covers various design options available to customers and partners, including the latest MetroCluster FlexPod design to support a VMware Metro Storage Cluster (vMSC) configuration.
    Haseeb Niazi is a technical marketing engineer in the Data Center Group specializing in security and data center technologies. His areas of expertise also include VPN and security, the Cisco Nexus product line, and FlexPod. Prior to joining the Data Center Group, he worked as a technical leader in the Solution Development Unit and as a solutions architect in Advanced Services. Haseeb holds a master of science degree in computer engineering from the University of Southern California. He’s CCIE certified (number 7848) and has 14 years of industry experience.   
    Chris O'Brien is a technical marketing manager with Cisco’s Computing Systems Product Group.  He is currently focused on developing infrastructure best practices and solutions that are designed, tested, and documented to facilitate and improve customer deployments. Previously, O'Brien was an application developer and has worked in the IT industry for more than 20 years.

    I would suggest you read this white paper which details the pros and cons of direct connect storage. 
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/prod/collateral/ps10265/ps10276/whitepaper_c11-702584.html   This paper captures all the major design points for Ethernet and FC  protocols.
    I would only add that in FlexPod we are trying to create a highly  available solution and "flexible" solution; Nexus switching helps us  deliver on both with vPC and unified ports.
    NPV equats  to end-host mode which allows the system to present all of the servers  as N ports to the external fabric.  In this mode, the vHBAs are pinned  to the egress interfaces of the fabric interconnects.  This pinning  removes the potential of loops in the SAN fabric.  Host based multipathing of the  vHBAs account for potential uplink failures.  The NPV mode (end-host  mode) simplifies the attachment of UCS into the SAN fabric and that is  why it is in NPV mode by default.
    So for your last question, I will have to put my  Product Manager hat on so bear with me.   First off there is no drawback  to enabling the NPIV feature (none that I am aware of) the Nexus 5000  platform simply offers you a choice to design and support multiple FC  initiators (N-Ports) per F-Port via NPIV.  This allows for the  integration of the FI end-host mode described above.  I  imagine being a  unfied access layer switch, the Nexus team enabled standard Fibre  Channel switching capability and features first.  The implementatin of  NPIV is a customer choice based on their specific access layer  requirements.

    iWeb has two other ways to publish your site...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
    ... and the second method allows you a choice of how you upload the files...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/URLs-Favicons.html
    Here's a publishing workflow checklist...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Website-Publishing-Wo rkflow.html
    The MobileMe only features can be replaced by alternatives...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Comments-Password-Protect.html
    If you have folders of assets outside of the main website folder on MobileMe, download them from the Apple server. From the Finder Go menu, follow the path iDisk/My iDisk/ to get there. Your website files are in the Web/Sites folder. Drag any files/folders onto the desktop.
    Use an FTP application to upload these assets to the root folder on your new server...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Upload.html
    ...and change the relevant URLs to...
    http://www.domain-name.com/Folder-Name/file-name.file-extension
    There are lots of options for hosting for about half the cost of MobileMe...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
    If you have been using a web.me.com domain name, you need to register a new one. Most hosting services give you at least one free and registering with your hosting company will make forwarding and managing it a lot easier.
    Make sure you add the new name to Google and create, upload and enter a new sitemap.xml...

  • IWeb 09 major bug - losing site - believe it's photo albums and photo pages

    I have repeatedly lost my site now 3 times since upgrading.
    The problem appears to be when editing photo album pages with a few photo albums on them and then rearranging those albums and pages between sites.
    I can't be more specific at this stage, as it's happening relatively randomly, but am curious if others have discovered similar problems.
    FWIW I am recovering by using time machine and backups.

    I too had major problems with iWeb '09. I was unable even to publish to a local folder without getting an error message "Unknown error" (really, really helpful). I published a site created and maintained by iWeb '08 four times to separate local folders within an hour, not changing the site at all during that period. Only about 90% of the contents were published. Typically what was missing was some photo albums and blogs, although not always the same photo albums.
    After some careful poking about in my MobileMe-published site I noticed that some particular pages were not publishing to a local folder. Upon investigation I discovered that some of the photo albums, whilst appearing in the sidebar in iWeb '09, did not appear on the main albums page. It seems that, for whatever reason, iWeb '09 had lost the links to these. I deleted the pages from the sidebar and then turned my attention to Blogs. This was the other area where I noticed that publishing seemed to have a problem.
    One of the problems seemed to be that there was a link to a, by now, 'lost' photo album. Editing the link and then re-publishing to a local folder at last cured the problem. I have yet to publish to MobileMe, but at last things are looking good in the 'test' phase.
    It seems that, unless your iWeb '08-created site was relatively simple, some editing HAS to be done in iWeb '09 before publishing. I hope that this answers more questions than it poses!

  • I published a website using iWeb.  I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

    I published a website using iWeb.  I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

    If you're publishing directly from iWeb 3 to your FTP server then you'll have the following in your accounts root directory:
    Site 1 folder
    Site 2 folder
    Site 3 folder
    index.html file from last published site directling to the last published site.
    If you want to keep Site 1 as the primary site you'll need to publish it one more time to the server so you get it's index.html file uploaded.
    Now you'll have to publish Sites 2 and 3 to a folder on the hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck, YummyLite or Transmit  to upload only the site folder (and not its external index.html file with it).
    The url to sites 2 and 3 will be:
    http://doman_name.com/Site 2
    http://doman_name.com/Site 3

  • IWeb 1.1(.1) and multiple Domain.sites

    There are (still) a lot of references to Domain.sites resides in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder, this is no longer true with iWeb 1.1(.1).
    iWeb 1.1(.1) can handle multiple Domain.sites, and once you double click a Domain.sites outside of ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder, ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder is no longer needed (unless you double click the Domain.sites inside ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder, again).
    Once you double click a Domain.sites outside of ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder, you can move iWeb folder out of ~/Library/Application Support folder, and iWeb WON'T create another ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
    huh?

    iWeb 1.1.x multiple domains handling is quite low
    key, and for a good reason. Although, iWeb 1.1.x can
    handle multiple Domain.sites, however, there is no
    way (that I know of) to create a fresh Domain.sites
    from iWeb.
    Some one prove me wrong, please.
    Hmmmmm, I AM able to create a new Domain.sites file using iWeb 1.1.1; see this Apple support article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303670
    I've got a number of different sites that I had been keeping in different folders in a new folder that I named "Sites" that I kept where the default Domain.sites file was stored, i.e.,
    for "Site1": ~username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Sites/Site1/Domain.sites
    for "Site2": ~username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Sites/Site2/Domain.sites
    etc.
    Prior to version 1.1.1, when I'd open one of the Domain.sites files, iWeb would automatically create a Domain.sites file in the ~username/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder, then when I was done making changes to that file, I'd have to copy it back into the subfolder. Now with version 1.1.1, iWeb does NOT create a new file but rather just uses the Domain.sites file from where it is opened and makes that the new default location. To create a new site, just move this folder containing the Domain.sites file that iWeb now uses as the default to a different location and start iWeb by clicking on the iWeb application: you'll then get a new site. If the last opened Domain.sites file was in the username/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder, then moved to a different location, and then you open iWeb by clicking on the iWeb application, you will be prompted to either "Quit", "Create Domain…", or "Choose Domain…"; click "Create Domain…" and you'll then be asked to choose a location for a new Domain file; select a new location then iWeb opens with a new site.
    Hope I'm making sense.

    It's often asked and answered.
    Search this forum for similar disasters : lost iweb file
    The answer usually is No. You'll have to start from scratch. Unless you have a backup.
    Can I do this through wordpress or using html code
    No.
