IWeb duplicates URL

When I post my site using FTP iWeb duplicates the the address, for example if my URL is www.1234567.com iWeb publishes to http://www.1234567.com/www.1234567.com. How can i get it to publish without repeating the address?

When you publish to a folder, iWeb creates an outer folder with 2 things inside: an index.html file and an inner "site" folder.
Instead of FTP'ing the outer folder, open it up, ignore the index.html file, and only FTP the contents of the inner site folder.

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.

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.

URL for reporting BUGS in iWeb. URL for reporting a WISH LIST for next iWeb

1
Can someone please send the URL for the page in which one can report bugs in iWeb?
2
Same thing for simple old Wishes and Hopes for the next iWeb if they are not one and the same URL/page.
Thank you.
Lorna in Southern California

Lorna....
All is well....actually doing a little jet-setting
over here and there...you can check the updates on my
website....thanks for your email...
Regarding the feedback to Apple....if you ever forget
the website, you can always look under the iWeb menu
while you are working (that's when you run into these
bugs anyways) and pick "Send Feedback to Apple".
That'll send you to the same webpage for feedback
submission!
Hi James I'm glad that you are ok. And thank you for the hint about the bug reports on iWeb menu. It makes a lot of sense putting it there; I just never noticed it.
iWeb has a bad blog bug
I'd like to stomp it royally
Instead I'll send a feedback hug
(She said, behaving loyally.)
All is said and all is done

Domain name and iweb - masking url?

i have a domain name and want to use it for my website i created on iweb - is there a way to mask the url so when people type in my domain name they are directed to my iweb site??
thanks

Just go to the whatever place has your domain name and ask them or search in their FAQ or Help for how to do Domain Forwarding and Masking.

Enhanced podcasts on iweb - embedded URLs misbehave

i create enhanced podcasts with chapters, embedded urls, pics. i usually export ('share') them to/with itunes and my iweb-created site. (as m4a files).
when they go to itunes, and are distributed through itunes, they behave properly, in that when a viewer clicks on an embedded URL link, the page pops open in a separate window and the podcast file stops playing.
when a visitor clicks and plays them from the website, the player opens in a browser window .. then when you click on an embedded url .... it leaves that browser window completely and goes to the page. but the podcast files simply closes ... so to go back to it .... you hit the backwards arrow, and you have to restart the podcast. stoopid. apple says it's hard wired that way, while admitting it's a dumb setup. does anyone know a way around this ? i'm not a code monkey, but i can do a little hacking if necessary. thanks ....

After checking out the history of photography, I see it uses a double text track with photo-jpeg track for the photos, this is a similar format for chapter markers on itunes movies, chapter markers are accessed via the up button on the remote, so the possibility that photos could be seen by a back door method isn't possible anyway because the up button already has a function for audio files on the tv.
In short no you can't see the photos I'm afraid.

IWeb 9 URL

Using FTP
where do I find the URL of each page in IWed so I can create a main page linking to each IWeb page

Don't really understand your question, but there is a nav bar in iWeb itself that creates page links automatically. If you don't want this you can create your own hyperlinks to each page within iWeb itself - you don't need a url.
If you have a domain name then this is your url. Anything published to MobileMe is always going to be web.me.com/username/sitename.

IWeb: UMy URL repeats itself

Hi,
I hope someone can help me . . . .
My website was designed by a friend using iWeb on his Mac. He has now transferred it all to my iWeb application on my Mac.
I have made changes to the site, but the url address is repeating itself.
So my old website is http://www.laurelfarm.org.uk/Welcometo_LaurelFarm.html
and the new one is http://www.laurelfarm.org.uk/www.laurelfarm.org.uk/Welcometo_LaurelFarm.html
So effectively I now have two sites. How can I make my changes on the new site replace the old one?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,
Ross

So effectively I now have two sites. How can I make my changes on the new site replace the old one?
You will need to publish your new site to a folder on your local machine and use a free ftp app like Cyberduck to upload only the contents of the folder called www.laurelfarm.org.uk to your server.
Complete iWeb sites, with working RSS Subscribe buttons, always have the sitename in the full url. The sitename is up to you, and duplication is caused when you name your site the same as your domain name. If you have no RSS, then you don't need the site folder, but iWeb's own ftp doesn't provide an option to omit it.

IWeb Publishing url

When I publish my home page on my .Mac site I have my site address as :
http://web.mac.com/groups.ajbraun/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html
But when it finishes publishing it always inserts the following 90D0FC3C-1D6F-49FE-83BC-4762AB7CB77E
so now shows :
http://web.mac.com/groups.ajbraun/ajbraun/iWeb/90D0FC3C-1D6F-49FE-83BC-4762AB7CB 77E/Welcome.html
I have done a few searchs re this but haven't found a answer yet to why it keeps doing this.

G4 Laptop Mac OS X (10.4.9) 12 inch version
G4 Laptop Mac OS X (10.4.9) 12 inch version

When I publish the site it should be
http://web.mac.com/groups.ajbraun/Welcome.html
and it tells be that when it published ie it asked if you want to visit the site but when I do the url starts off as http://web.mac.com/groups.ajbraun/Welcome.html
then changes to
http://web.mac.com/groups.ajbraun/ajbraun/iWeb/90D0FC3C-1D6F-49FE-83BC-4762AB7CB 77E/Welcome.html
and the numeric sequence is always the same and there in the directory path is a folder called 90D0FC3C-1D6F-49FE-83BC-4762AB7CB77E
Note all this started when I had to recover from my backup files when my laptop crashed.

IWeb short URL "trick"

I've been reading a number of posts about how to arrive at a shorter URL for iWeb sites; many seem to involve either using some other site or registering a domain name - I administrate five already, I don' need no more steenkin' domains. Anyway,... I came up with the following "trick"; alright, so it's not much of a trick, but it seems to work for me. For those used to short URL's like:
http://homepage.mac.com/membername/
as your "site", you CAN have:
http://web.mac.com/membername/
if you publish to a folder instead of letting iWeb publish to .Mac on its own. On your iDisk, you'll find a "Sites" folder which represents your HomePage sites, and a "Web" folder which represents your iWeb sites. For my test, I published to a folder called "iWeb" (didn't matter - could have been "foo") and gave it the "short" URL as a reference (not that it needed it; it was only the canned "Welcome" page). I then copied ONLY THE CONTENTS of that folder directly into the Sites folder within the Web folder on my iDisk. I then went to the "short" URL:
http://web.mac.com/membername/
and it worked. Hope this helps; hope Apple also makes this a direct option within iWeb for those that only want to use their account for "a" site instead of multiple.

Java Cache Viewer shows duplicate URL with different versions

In doing some testing lately we have come across a couple of situations where the same URL is showing in the JAVA cache viewer with different versions to them. In the case of a 1.7 JRE this is not causing any adverse effects however when utilizing a 1.6 JRE we are getting messages about mixed mode for the JAR files.
The jar file is signed as below:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.8.2
Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: *
Application-Name: named_applet
Built-By: relbuild
Permissions: all-permissions
Created-By: 1.6.0_17-b04 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Caller-Allowable-Codebase: *
Codebase: *
understanding the need to change the wildcard's to domains as we move forward. I am wondering why the jar file is being listed and called twice and why it is being recognized as signed one time and not the next.
The URL is identical in the cache viewer and the java console says it is not found in the cache when it is used the second time, even though previously in the session is finds it with the correct version.
Any advice would be helpful

that i even know, but the problem is that i do not have that version of java re installed, but i found distribution 07 of the same java version, i'll try it out with that.
but when it still doesn't work, then i still would like to find the link where i can download java version 1.4.2_06.

Changing my iweb pages URL

Hey,
I want to have my pages url be one I own and not just my .mac user name that automatically is used to publish. What do I do???

Ftp of local files to GoDaddy results in duplicate domain name in URL

I have tried CyberDuck, SEO Tool, Filezilla and going directly from the iWeb ftp option and I keep getting duplication in the URL. My website is RGGCommunications.com. The publish to local folders has also created two different index.html, the correct one in the higher level directory, the older version is in a subdirectory.
My RGG_Communications directory includes all of my page directories along with .html files, a feed.xml and assets.http... files. But within that grouping of directories is another RGG_Communications directory which has all of the same directories without any .html files. The only exception is a stats directory which is also duplicated at the highest directory right below the first RGG_Communications.
If I knew of a way to take a screen shot of the Finder window to show the hierarchy, I would.
I am a beginner but learning. I use Taco HTML Editor for fixing a titling problem that comes up, but this problem is very frustrating. I must have deleted and sync'd or uploaded these files 10 times for various reasons using different tools but I don't have a consistent and reliable way of getting it done right all the time.
HELP!!!!

Your Sitename is the same as your domainname. That's twice.
If you change your sitename to something shorter, a, then the URL wil be :
http://rggcommunications.com/a/ComBlog/ComBlog.html
If you also want to avoid the "a" then you have to put the files in the root manually with a 3rd party FTP app.
You will then have this URL :
http://rggcommunications.com/ComBlog/ComBlog.html
But iWeb creates URLs to your RSS feed with the Sitename in it. Your visitors will get an error when they subscribe to your blog.
And you will always have to publish to a folder and then use an 3rd party FTP app to upload the files.
My solution solves the problem at the serverside, without iWeb knowing about it.
The solution is difficult, but in the end it saves a lot of time.

New iWeb Weblog - Where is Save As option?

Hi.
I am using iWeb for the first time. It is version 3.0.2 (489).
I used *New Page* (and *New Site* too when trying to figure this out) under the File menu and then selected a template as prompted. After making my changes to the template to what I wanted I tried to save my proto webpage without success.
The only option I got when quitting was the 'Save' option and not *Save As* as I anticipated.
Using the only available option Save option all I get is the following error message "+*The document Domain.sites2 could not be saved*+"
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11373233/iWeb%20Save%20Prob.png
The upshot is that I can't save even the bare bones of my new webpage, let alone go on to do anything else.
What am I doing wrong?

Old Toad wrote:
All changes are made to that Domain.sites2 file. So if you want to make different versions you will have to duplicate that domain file each time.
OR you can create a new site in iWeb, duplicate the pages you want to preserve in their current state and drag the copy down to the new site to store. Then rename the copies pages with some sort of identifies as to date or whatever.
However, there are a couple of page types that can't be duplicated: iPhoto Albums and Blog pages.
It seems that I am going to have to find a way to bookmark this page somehow.
I'm just starting out in this particular area of Mac computing so I only have an idea of what you are referring to. I have no doubt that I will know precisely what you mean when I have used the software more and (maybe) have gain more experience with it.
When you say '....duplicate the domain file each time', do you mean copy it to somewhere; make a new site; copy that to somewwhere else; move the original back if I want to work on that; and/or move the second one back to work on the second (or subsequent) site? I think I must have misread your reply.
Thank you so much for telling me this.

IWeb pages Do Not Correctly Display In W3C's Browser/Editor - Amaya 9.54

Earlier I posted that lastest version of Firefox would not display iWeb pages correctly. However, iWeb pages have never displayed correctly in the W3C's browser/editor Amaya. I just tried the Amaya upgrade (9.54) and the iWeb pages still don't display correctly NOR do any of my links work!? Everything displays correctly in Safari (and now Firefox?!)
Here's my iWeb page:
http://usablemakeover.com/publicopenspacedesign101/Blog/Blog.html
To download and check with Amaya:
http://www.w3.org/Amaya/

The issue isn't whether or not users use Amaya for web browsing - the issue is: does iWeb produce valid HTML and CSS!
Since Amaya is produced by the W3C - who establishes the standards for valid HTML and CSS (yes/no?) - anyone using iWeb to produce content - expects iWeb to produce valid pages. Or is there a problem with Amaya?
Here's how to check for valid HTML and CSS. Just paste my URL (or your own iWeb page URLs):
http://usablemakeover.com/publicopenspacedesign101/Blog/Blog.html
into: http://validator.w3.org/
and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
You will likely be surprised with the results.
