Iweb 08 site url

i have numerous iweb 08 sites, each with 2-3 pages. if I were to re-arrange the sites so that they are in alpha. order, will this change their url? I mean, it seems like it shouldn't, but before i start messing around with things, thought I'd ask the experts. :o) thanks!

just found this reply-thanks so much for your input!
hey-i just posted another question about my iphoto. mind taking a look
at that and seeing if you have any answers for me there too? :o)

  • Can .Mac account name (user id?) be obscured in iWeb's URLs?

    http://gallery.mac.com/XXXXXXX
    http://web.mac.com/XXXXX/Site1/Welcome.html
    Is there any way to obscure/hide the user's account name (XXXXXX) in the URLs?
    I believe that the iWeb-published pages/sites can in effect be segregated in a manner that would make it hard for someone with one link to see the content on the .Mac subscribers other published iWeb sites. However, given that iWeb's URLs contain the user's account name [http://web.mac.com/XXXXX/Site1/Welcome.html], it is very simple to take the XXXXXX from that, and convert it to http://gallery.mac.com/XXXXXXX to see the subscribers full galleries.
    I for one like to keep certain groups of people and certain published photos separate from one another. But, am unsure how to give people iWeb site URLs and NOT have them see my family photos by going to my .Mac/iPhoto Galleries.

    Hi Indy,
    as far as I know the only way to do what you'd like to do is by setting up a personal domain, setting CNAME on it and then point it to the site you'd like to point people.
    By doing this the user's account name would be hidden. And people visiting the site wouldn't know there's another site.
    You could also password-protect the family sites but I don't think that's a solution.
    Regards,
    Cédric

  • How do I stop my iWeb site folder name from showing in the URL?

    I have looked through the forum but cannot find exactly what I need.
    I am sure there is a way to stop this from happening but I do not want my iWeb site name to show in the URL. Anyone else had this problem that can spread some light on the situation?
    Here is how it is showing:
    www.ilovehopetown.com/ILove_Hope_Town/The_Ultimate_Guide_To_HopeTown.html
    I want to to just be www.ilovehopetown.com and then the page name.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    What happens if I leave Site name blank?
    Try it and see.
    If you are using iWeb 09, the right forum to ask things in is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1309
    Two options you could try are naming your site the same as the default folder used by your sever (e.g. public_http or whatever) or forwarding www.myname.com to www.myname.com/sitename

  • Personal Domain - Can I get rid of my iWeb site's name in the URL?

    Hey everyone,
    I just set up my iWeb site (called "This is Out of Context") to point to a personal domain name (www.thisisoutofcontext.com). Problem is, now my homepage URL reads: http://www.thisisoutofcontext.com/THISIS_OUT_OFCONTEXT/HOME.html
    Is there any way to "get rid" of the second "THISIS_OUT_OFCONTEXT" so that my URL simply reads: http://www.thisisoutofcontext.com/HOME.html ? You know...short 'n sweet...like a "normal" website?
    Any thoughts or tips would be much appreciated (please go easy on me, I'm a total newbie here...)
    Cheers!

    does this work with iweb 08?
    my site was running fine until i upgraded to iweb 08 and redsigned my site. i have a godaddy account for my domain name and i have it masked and forwarded but my apple url still appears at the top of the browser bar while in safari and firefox. my site is www.louislemoine.com
    if you go there you will see what i mean. maybe what you are talking about will solve this problem. i am at work so i can not check to see if what you talk about will work. i am hoping that you are onto something.

  • How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

    I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address.  Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

    Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder.  That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
    It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
    Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
    It really isn't rocket science!

  • Linking another URL to an existing iWeb site?

    Is it possible to link another URL that I have registered (with GoDaddy) so that it connects directly with the URL associated with my iWeb site?
    Thanks so much for any advice.
    Steve Pressman

    Use masked web forwarding and forward your domain name to web.me.com/username/sitename.
    If you have used CNAME forwarding once, then you need to use web forwarding for your other domain name.

  • How do I upload iWeb-site without using 'Flie Publish' feature?

    Due to corporate firewall restrictions I cannot use iDisk, Sync or iWeb to connect to .mac, which presented a problem when I wanted to Publish my iWeb site.
    I have uploaded the site [via webdav, with Transmit] to the Sites folder of my iDisk, but I can't find my site when I enter my .mac URL into my browser (http://web.mac.com/myusername or http://homepage.mac.com/myusername).
    Theoretically, is this the right way to upload to iDisk without using iWeb? Is there anything else I need to do to link my URL to the files in iDisk/Sites?
    Thanks in advance, Lee.

    Ok, my member name is leepaulvickers.
    I've tried
    http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers
    http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers/iweb
    http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers/leepaulvickers
    http://homepage.mac.com/leepaulvickers
    but just get the 'we can't find the HomePage you've requested' 404 error.
    BTW I've used Transmit to upload to my iDisk in the past, such as files and photos with no problems. I assumed there would be no trouble with iWeb's files...

  • How do I create two iWeb sites using a single .Mac account?

    I would like to create two distinct sites/URLs using iWeb and a single — not a family — .Mac account. Is this possible? If so, what are the basic steps?
    When I read related forum posts, it would seem to me that one site would overwrite the other site when I publish. Yes or no?
    iBook 1.2 mhz, G4   Mac OS X (10.3.6)  
    iBook 1.2 mhz, G4   Mac OS X (10.3.6)  
    iBook 1.2 mhz, G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   iLife 06

    I would like to create two distinct sites/URLs using
    iWeb and a single — not a family — .Mac account. Is
    this possible? If so, what are the basic steps?
    If you just do the obvious and use File > New Site in iWeb, you do create two distinct sites with different urls. However, you cannot exactly duplicate page names in the sites or publish changes in one without publishing changes in the other. The short default url web.mac.com/username/iWeb normally goes to the top site on the list within iWeb.
    If you create two sites with distinct names in different accounts on your machine, they should not overwrite each other, and they should also have distinct urls. However I think that the
    index.html file which tells browsers what to do with the default short url web.mac.com/username/iWeb may get confused, so that deleting that or modifying it manually might be desirable.

  • Merge iweb sites from multiple user accounts on same computer

    With the previous iweb version, my children created their own iweb sites on their own users, but all under my own .mac account. It worked great.
    But now with the new "upgraded" iweb '08, that isn't allowed anymore.
    So, I created a new user on our computer for all of us to use to maintain our multiple iweb accounts on.
    How can I move multiple iweb sites from multiple users on the same computer into one user?

    Each of the user's work in iWeb will be contained in a single file, Domain.sites2, which can be found in this location on the hard drive for each user account. You will need to copy all of these Domain.sites2 files to an external drive, or, at the very least, burn them to a disk to make them transferable from one user account to another. A flash drive also works great for this.
    Once you have made all of these Domain files accessible from the new user account that you created, you will still have a formidable task ahead of you, i.e., publishing separate sites, from separate Domain.sites2 files, to the same .Mac account/directory. In other words, bringing all of these Domain files together for access by a single user account will not solve the problem. You may very well be able to solve the problem with things the way they are, but it will involve some shuffling of Site's files on the iDisk prior to publishing.
    The method I'm going to give you has worked well for me. So far, here in the forums, I've read posts from (2) other users who were also successful. Conversely, I know of at least (3) other users who have been unsuccessful with this approach. I sure hope it works for you.
    Open System Preferences and go to .Mac. Turn syncing off, if it is on, and leave it off.
    Now, in Finder, navigate to the current Site files on your iDisk, following this path:
    Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/NameOfSiteFolder
    Drag the Site folder that is named for your site, (not the directory Site folder), back one level on the iDisk, into the Web folder. This is where some run into difficulties--you may get an error message that the folder is "in use, and cannot be moved". I have never gotten this message, and am able to move my Site's folders around with no problem on the iDisk.
    If you are successful moving the folder, choose one of your other accounts on your machine, launch iWeb, and Publish all to .Mac. The existing site on the server will not be deleted. Now, go back to the iDisk and move that site folder, (the one you just published), back one level, again, to the root Web directory. Publish your next site, from your next account.
    When you are finished publishing sites, just move the Site folders back to their original location on the iDisk--Web/Sites/SiteFoldersHere. All sites will be accessible from a browser using the web.mac.com/username/nameofsite url.
    It is important to use the Publish all to .Mac command in iWeb. A simple Publish to .Mac command will not put the correct index.html file in place on the server.
    Post back and inform us of your success.

  • Iweb double-url is still showing even though I'm using a 3rd party host

    A client of mine created and published a site in iweb.....she didn't even have hosting, so does iweb host files in the cloud? I deleted the site in her iweb app, changed the DNS, edited the domain file, updated to a 3rd party host, checked idisk, but im still getting the double-url (www.mysite.com/www.mysite.com/index.html/) crap that iweb does....it's like iweb is overriding everything else no matter what I do....there was an index.html file that was re-directing to the double-url, which i also promptly deleted...still no change....for the life of me I can't get just a normal URL (www.mysite.com) without having the additional url that iweb adds....I have no idea how to get rid of this....even with a fresh host, it still shows up.....anyone have any ideas other than scrapping the URL and finding a new one? I've never used iweb, but I've been doing web design for 5 years and i've never seen anything like this.....on a wordpress install, the URL works with the additional crap added, but there is some trouble when trying to set a 'home' link...I get a cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi error....which is problematic....when trying to get back to the homepage.....

    The iWeb Domain file is just a package where the website data is stored. Once the site is published, iWeb isn't in the picture...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/iWeb-Tips.html
    iWeb publishes a folder containing all the files for the website and an external index.html file. Unlike most websites, the index.html file is just a redirect to the Home page which is the one at the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar.
    There's also a copy of the index.html file inside the folder. This arrangement is so that the site will work on Apple's - soon to be defunct - server MobileMe. Perhaps this is where you client published the site?
    Its not quite clear how you are trying to conect the site to Wordpress. Can you explain?
    If an iWeb site is published "as is", the URL for any page is...
    http://www.domain-name/folder-name/page-name.html
    ... where "folder-name" is the name of the site in the iWeb app which can be seen at the very top of the left column above the first or Home page name.

  • My iWeb site can not be opened by many windows users only macs.

    My iWeb site should open for all platforms = How to do?
    I am also confused about compatability of my hard work and new iWeb sites (I love the iWeb App yet i got 4 family members all in different locations in the USA who run windows ....tell me that they could not open the web site which I announced via email.) Other Mac users did reply back saying it opened fine.
    Please send me a way to enable my work to open or if u must please tell me if the windows users need a RSS Reader and or .Mac accounts and or iTunes etc etc ...I wish to feel like the work I do on my Mac is compatable for all. As is Apple continues to isolate others and will include others only if they switch....
    Hey Macs are great so why not attract others with a platform that just includes all. Noone wants to enter a beautiful garden if the path to it is filled with thorns and at entrance others find a closed gate which reads You are not welcome.... that aint right and I'm a dumb bell old Dad who thought finally I was creating a web page that all could visit.
    Send instructions please on how all people can access my iWeb sites.
    Alex L
    My post above was replied with suggestion from Tom as seen then I followed up with thanks as seen.
    Anyone else out there have problems and answers per setting iWeb sites so all platforms can access your site???
    I really doubt there is any way for anyone to help
    you unless you provide the url which is not opening
    some some users.
    Thanks Tom for posting a reply which suggests I post my url so I have listed it below. I am just a Dad with all else so know that the guy writing this and using iWeb is a novice old man. I do like iWeb very much so if u can again reply or anyone reply how to allow all PC users to be able to visit this site than great.
    Thanks

    Anyone else have ideas and or same problem?

    Thanks Andy,
    I wish I could have told my sister about this as she could not open my homepage back before my new iWeb site. She now can open my site without the yet in case denial window does appear = I thank you.
    I think my iWeb site works as Noone has said otherwise from any platform etc...
    Alex L
    I do agree that should not have to be a consideration for any users so i agree that it would be great if Apple could allow simplicity to run seemlessly.
    I have had this problem since Homepage, and here is
    what has worked for me. I send out the link, and
    then for PC users I send the link with "<" after the address (without quotation
    marks. e.g., <http://site.com>).
    I also put a note that if that doesn't work, to just
    copy and paste the link into a browser. With that I
    have only had 1 person say they still can't open.
    Everyone else gets it to work.
    It's a lot to do and seems like a hassle, but you get
    used to it.
    Hope this helps!

    PS - APPLE! When are you going to fix this??! It

  • Is it possible to make an iWeb site accessible to mobile phones? (in Japan)

    Is it possible to make an iWeb site accessible to mobile phones? (I'm in Japan)
    I've tried making a tiny site but my own phone (au A5516T by Toshiba) can't display it.
    The URL is accepted but displays just a white blank screen.
    I can't see anything about it in this iWeb forum or iWeb Help. Which I guess means that either it's impossible or that it's so elementary I shouldn't have to ask!
    Is there some special code involved?
    Any hints much appreciated. Thanks.

  • Autoforward one page in iWeb site to .Mac gallery?

    Does anyone know if there is a way to have one of your iWeb pages autoforward to another site? I would like my "Picture" page in my iWeb site to automatically forward to my .Mac gallery, rather than force people to have to click the link.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Here's another way to do it and it will be automatic, no viewer effort required: add the following code to the head portion of your Pictures page after publishing it:
    <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.the-domain-you-want-to-redirect-to.com">.
    Replace the “0” with the number of seconds you would like to pass before the redirection takes place. Put in the URL of your destination site.
    Any time you make changes to that particular page or use the Publish All to MobileMe you will have to reedit that page. This page demonstrates the effect.
    The demo is set to go to another page in the site but you can send the visitor to any URL you desire.
