IWeb and 123-reg personal domain difficulties

I have published before using iWeb but have now recently bought a domain name with 123-reg. I have changed my CNAME with 123-reg but cannot publish my website using iWeb. It just says:
Publish Error - There was an error updating MobileMe.
What am I doing wrong? Is it massively obvious? I've waited more than 48 hours.

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.

  • IWeb and using my personal domain name.

    I have never published a web site before and this is a first time for me.
    With having iWeb version 8 installed I have created a website with photos etc.
    I have also registered a domain name to use my personal name. This is the one and only web-site I have published.
    The name has been set up for forwarding with the CName as web.mac.com with the host site in the section of ‘Masked forwarding’
    And in my personal settings in the account manager on .Mac the correct name has been entered to use for my iWeb site. For example www.anthonyjhowe.com which is my registered name.
    In the iWeb application under file I have published all my pages to .mac.
    In my iDisk folder on the Internet there is a folder named “web/sites and inside this folder, there is my gallery but also a folder named AnthonyJHowe, this has all my pages I created in iWeb.
    There is another folder named “iWeb. But inside this there is one file named sites.rss, and that is all. This is replicated on my iDisk on my desktop.
    Now in iWeb when I publish all to .Mac I receive a message that my site can be visited using my domain name and would I like to visit or announce the site. This lists all the pages I have published.
    When I click on visit, it takes me to the .Mac welcome screen and not my site.
    That’s how far I have got. It’s been over 72 hours since I registered the domain name.
    I have searched and read some posts about this but I don’t seem to go any further with this.
    Could you give some suggestions please and perhaps point me in the right direction?

    This iWeb’s Domain Forwarding feature that has you publish the site to your .Mac account and then uses your domain name as an alias for your Web site should be relative simple procedure, but with quite a lot of posts on this subject, including myself is not easy to set up and it should be as iWeb 08 is a consumer product. There is little information about this at present.
    Getting in touch with the registrars can be quite daunting and eventually you may get one person in the office that may be able to help you. Apple's information to suggest you contact the Registrar of you domain host to create a CNAME does not help an ordinary consumer either.
    My issue with the Personal Domain feature is that it places the burden of making the switch on the user, and it is far from a straightforward process and my unfortunate lack of experience has led me to ask the question in the first place.
    This discussion forum seems to be the only place that gets close to helping you out.
    As it stands, the instructions from Apple are extremely vague, mostly advising you to contact your domain name registrar. They give no indication of what to expect or do if things that aren’t working correctly. And that's why a lot ask the question in the first place in this discussion forum. However those who have experience in dealing with these matters may not always see your post.
    I can usually work out problems to do with computing, but to be honest this one has me beat and yet it should be and probably is a simple procedure to carry out. But there is either very little information to carry out the procedure or confusing information elsewhere that makes the mind boggle.
    The link below is the only information I can find from Apple to help you, unless someone knows of other information.

  • Please help! iweb and 123-reg.co.uk

    Hi,
    I have read the various postings and still have no idea what I am doing.
    I have gone to my my DNS settings and what I have is:
    @ A 194.154.164.82
    www CNAME web.mac.com. (I can't seem to lose the dot on the end)
    www CNAME 194.154.164.82
    mx0.123-reg.co.uk. Priority 10
    mx1.123-reg.co.uk Priority 20
    I have turned web forwarding off but this hust sends my domain to a holding page care of 123-reg.co.uk Should I turn web forwarding on - if so what URL do I ask it to forward to?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards
    Matthewmacduff

    Hi there,
    I hope you've sorted your problem out. I'm also with 123.reg and had similar problems which have mostly been resolved. If your still struggling. Log in to 123reg.co.uk and go to your control panel. Click on web fowarding and select either framed or non framed forwarding. Add your site to the add url eg http://web.mac.com/yourname. Add title to be displayed in browser (presumably you've registered/bought a name with 123reg)...thats it
    My problem with 123reg's system is that it, to me, isn't particularly user friendly. My web forwarding works great but the browser bar only ever shows smandrews.com and not smandrews.com/home/html...anybody know why?

  • IWeb to 123-Reg publishing issue

    I have recently registered a new domain name with 123-Reg. Have changed the settings with them to web forwarding and with 'web.me.com' as the destination (I believe this is what I need) and changed Mobile Me settings to reference my new domain name 'www.aixmusic.co.uk'. 123-Reg seems to be pointing OK to web.me.com but not to my site.
    This all seemed to work previously with my old registrar but not now. What am I doing wrong?
    [IMG]http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss310/Luberama/Picture1.png[/IMG]
    It has been over 48 hours since I made the changes.
    Also, 123 asks for my favicon URL - how do I find this pls?

  • Problem with iWeb after associating a personal domain name with my MobileMe

    I think I did this by the book. I associated my personal domain name with my MobileMe account, then changed the CName pointer at GoDaddy to MobileMe (MM), then went back to MM and hit 'Done'. iWeb now lists my MM account as 'My account name (personal domain name). It took a little while for the DNS pointer to propogate, but now I can go to a browser, type in my personal domain name, and MM delivers my iWeb website as I wanted it to, apparently from my domain, not web.me.com. The problem is, as soon as the DNS propogated, MM delivers my MM site OK, but iWeb can't find the files for it anymore. All my pages immediately went red (unpublished) when I tried to update the site, and any attempt to Publish gives me this error "iWeb couldn’t connect to MobileMe. Make sure your Internet connection works and try again." I'm cable connected to an ADSL router, and Airport connected to a cable router, and neither service has dropped out. I've rebooted, and retried, and the website is up under my own domain, so GoDaddy and MM both got it right. What did I do wrong? Thanks, someone... anyone?

    This is now sort of resolved, but not very satisfactorily. One of the trainers at my local Appple Store found an old support issue in the archives going back to 2008, which blamed security settings for update problems. Coincidental with associating MobileMe with my personal domain, I had checked the privacy box and added an ID and PW to the site. That was the problem, not the personal domain, that was preventing iWeb from finding my MM account. Uncheck that box and my site happily updates. Of course, now I have a site that I cannot make private. In this case, not a show-stopper, but disappointing. I have reported it as a bug in the latest version of iWeb. Thanks for your help.

  • 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.

  • Publishing iWeb Site on a Personal Domain

    Hi,
    I'm having a lot of trouble publishing my site to a personal domain. I am using iWeb 08 and am publishing via MobileMe and domains.com is my host. For some reason, I just can't get the site to publish on my personal domain. My personal domain is registered on MobileMe and the CNAME is programmed into the domains.com DNS management area. What's going on that's not allowing it to appear?? The site is just blank...please help!

    Works fine for me too, but not if you place the www before your domain name. If you want this too, you may need to go back to your DNS settings and set up a new CNAME for your domain name that includes the www part too, but only if you want to.

  • Uploading iweb layout/site to personal domain

    I'm using FireFTP through Firefox to upload my site designed on iWeb. However, once uploaded and I visit my site images don't show up, fonts are wrong and some text doesn't show.
    I'm getting really frustrated, I've tried the other free FTP's and they don't work either. How do I fix this problem?

    Will I just send my whole "site" folder to my public folder at my personal domain?
    You send the folder created by iWeb which has the same name as you gave your site inside the iWeb app, plus the index.html file which iWeb created alongside that folder.
    How will I update each day?
    By publishing again to a folder and uploading again via ftp.
    (Can I set up iWeb so that when I click "publish" it will update my personal domain?)
    No. If iWeb could do that you would not need an ftp program to start with.
    I was planning on using some wordpress plugins to modify my site.
    No idea, but generally speaking modifying iWeb to add stuff requires manual editing of the html after publishing and redoing it every time you republish.

  • CNAME and 123-Reg

    I have read many posts on setting up a CNAME for my domain name and .Mac. Why is the information they give you ambiguous?
    I have built the site and it works on my .Mac account and on the web but I want it to point to the new address I have bought but where do I add the changes? On the 123 website I am directed to manage DNS page. Then various boxes. So on add new entry I add "myname.co.uk" in box 1. Change to CNAME in drop down box. Add web.mac.com. to last box and click update DNS . I get invalid entry. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Do I change any of the other boxes?
    David

    Normally you would put www in the first box, then CNAME in the drop down box and then web.mac.com. That should work. Some registrars also need you to do it for @ and www. I had to when I did it and it worked.
    That is if your domain name is displayed under DNS settings. If not, then try www.yourdomain.co.uk instead. If domain is displayed above your settings then you should only need to enter @ and/or www and then the rest.
    Did you enter your personal domain name in your .Mac account too?

  • Apple Mail and Google Apps (personal domain) - 554 554 Denied Mail Delivery Subsystem (Intermittent Failure)

    Hello,
    I am having problems with my Apple Mail and Google Apps and I don't know what to do.  I have been using apple mail with google apps for a few months now with no complications.  In the last week I have recieved a handful of messages from the Mail Delivery Subsystem citing error "554 554 Denied". I know that the emails I have tried to send to are real emails and are entered correctly. I tried to send directly from google apps to one of these people today and it worked so I assume the problem is with Apple Mail, or is intermittent. Adding to my frustration is that it works with some people and not with others so it's hard for me to see exactly what is causing the problem.
    Any ideas?
    I'll include a copy of one of the Mail Delivery Subsystem emails I recieved - excluding the email address and message body.
    Thanks for your help!

  • When I send a webpage via email, some of my recipients are unable to see it properly. The website was made with iWeb, and a Mac person advised me this was the best way to do an email campaign with iWeb, but it's not working for a lot of my customers - why

    I have recently created a website for my family's business. When we bought the Macbook the guy in Apple said the best way to send an email campaign to our mailing list was to publish a hidden page, find it in the browser on Safari, then share it via email, so that is what I do. For most of my customers this works fine, however I have a number of people each month who cannot see any of the content of the email. I have added an 'If you can't see this email properly...' link at the top of the page, with no shapes or images etc near it, but even that does not appear for them.
    I am a self-taught novice unfortunately, so haven't a clue what the problem is. I'm not sure of the operating system, but we bought the Macbook in May and it has all the recent updates installed. I have just had a new baby so can't get into the store fdor a one-to-one, so if anyone could explain why this happens / what I can do about it, I would be very grateful! Thanks!

    If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
    If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

    This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

    The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

  • Personal domain and idisk

    Hi, my question is, can i use the idisk to host my own personal website that is currently being hosted at another site, and use my own domain name? I am not using iweb but i do have idisk. I simply want to move my current website thats being hosted elsewhere to my idisk and use my personal domain.
    Rob

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    can i use the idisk to host my own personal website that is currently being hosted at another site, and use my own domain name?
    Yes. Just copy the folder and files that you put on the other server onto your iDisk in the Web/Sites folder. You should have an index.html file and a folder with the site files. Have your domain name provider point the name to "http://web.mac.com/your account name/". As long as there is only one site in that folder and one index.html file (outside of the site folder) that will do it.

  • How to use iPhoto web gallery with iWeb & personal domain name

    So, another question about iWeb 08:
    I've set up my site to use a personal domain name, like www.mypersonaldomain.com. I've configured everything with my DNS settings so that it actually points to my iWeb site, and I'm happy about that.
    However, I've imported a few iPhoto '08 web galleries into my site, but when I browse to them by going to www.mypersonaldomain.com and clicking on the link for my gallery, it goes to a URL that actually shows my .mac account, i.e. gallery.mac.com/sockdaddy/gallery1/photo.jpg
    Is there any way to have the web galleries that I'm using become a more transparent part of my iWeb site, and use my personal domain?

    I've never done this on .Mac but I do use this on my server. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
    In iPhoto select your web gallery and in the "file" menu select "export" and then "Web Page".
    Select your options and click "Export" to the desktop.
    There are now 4 folders and an index.html file.
    Change the name of the index file to whatever you want to call the page e.g WebGallery.html
    Now go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and open your website folder.
    Drag and drop the 4 folders and the html file from your desktop into this.
    Create a link to this from your website in the "link" inspector and choose "external page".
    The URL for the link will be the same as any other page on your site except WebGallery is substituted for the page name.
    If you check the "open link in new window" you won't have to worry about the fact that you don't have a link back to your site from the WebGallery page.

  • Site made with iWeb using personal domain name

    I have created a web site on iWeb 08 and have a personal domain name through Network Solutions.
    The website was published to Mobile Me after "set up personal domain" was done. The C Name record was changed at Network Solutions to web.me.com. When I write the domain name in the browser a box comes down asking "idisk.mac.com" wants user name and password.
    1. Why is it asking for this?
    2. every ID and Password I put in, it tells me is incorrect? Ahhhhhhhh What does it want from me?
    Please help - I've waisted so much time on this (since last week).
    The website name is www.theplazarealty.com is you want to take a look.
    Thank you

    This relates to a problem I can't find in the iWeb manual. Where is my iWeb site actually published to, so I can accurately update it using FTP software, and which method to use for publishing it to domain names?
    I have created two websites for two different purposes each with a personal domain (one hosted, the other with webforwarding), and through ignorance have done all three options Publish to MobileMe / Publish All to MobileMe / and Publish to a folder (my home computer user Sites folder). As a result I have three Sites folders each containing both 'mysites'- Computer/user/Sites/sitename, or iDisk/user/Sites/sitename, or iDisk/user/Web/Sites/sitename - all different sizes, worryingly, leaving me unclear which is doing what. What is the diff between Publish All to MMe and Publish to MMe - they both seem to entail both sites totally republishing even if only one page has changed. Each time, of course, it takes several minutes or more to clear through the publishing process, and then some 20-30mins more to synchronise with FTP before I find out whether I've only used the duff old version after all. What is the difference between the three Sites destination folders? Can the difference be used productively? Should I, eg, ensure my sites exist both on my computer and iDisk as backup?
    Further confusing factor is that when I log into MMe and look at my folders icon on my iDisk, which are Sites and Web/Sites, the contents of the two 'mysites' folders listed under both areas are different from the SITES/iWeb display listed below them, which seems to be a truncated sort of merger of the 'mysites' contents without their separation into two. Is that iWeb item under SITES on the folders page listing a fourth set of the contents,or what?
    Now to synchronising/updating: which Sites folder to use to synchronise the websites with. Can I get updating in sync with republishing? My domain host UKcentric does not provide the CNAME options you have all talked about and they are unobtainable on my hosted domain page. I sent him the web.me.com message as described in the iWeb Personal Domain instrux, but he has persistently instructed me to use FTP software to upload and update the sites. He is not Mac-friendly, he admits. I have now used three programs, ClassicFTP, FileZilla and Cyberduck, all of which seem to be rather different and none of them has told me the sync has completed (the connection drops out, etc - it does take a long time, say 30-40mins to do, and I never know when I "resume" whether it'll pick up where it was or go back to zero start). If I am stuck with this laborious method of regular manual updating, I want to know I am using the correct Sites folder to synchronise the website with. None of this is clarified in the iWeb manual. Can anyone help?
