301 redirects and iWeb index page

Our site has grown and we will be changing our domain name and hosting co. (We are keeping the old domain active for a while at MME before we change domain name and hosting) I will need to redirect traffic for a while so as not to lose those who have just bookmarked us. Will just redirecting on the index page that iWeb creates (post publish) do that without creating a mess of our page rankings at Google? Currently we are in the top 15 responses for our search terms. Or should i create some other type of redirect? 301? (via cname or htaccess) will that ding me at google? Thanks- try to keep it as simple as possible - I don't code - I experiment and Apple has made it easy.

What I would do is purchase the hosting and see if you can have more than one add-on domain. Most web hosts let you do this on one account so it doesn't cost you any more money. You are doing this because you will need a .htaccess file to set up your 301 redirects properly. This is what you should do;
1) Register your new domain and publish your site to it.
2) Create a webmaster tools account for BOTH your old and new domain name.
3) Create a 301 redirect for each individual page to the new corresponding page on your new domain. This can be done with a few lines in your .htaccess file. The file should be in your root folder of your OLD domain. Put this on your .htaccess file (NOTE: This assumes you will have the exact same website structure on the new domain);
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mynewdomain.com/$1 \[R=301,L\]
OPTIONAL: Use Google's canonical tag on each one of your pages to avoid any issues with duplicate content. Link the old page to it's new corresponding page. This is optional but recommended if you can;
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.newdomain.com/newpage.html" />
4) Login to your Webmaster Tools account and select your OLD domain. Then select 'Site Configuration' and then 'change of address'. Follow the steps provided (which are basically what I told you above). Step 4 in there is the important one.
5) Submit a sitemap for your new website. This will make sure you know when Google has indexed your new website.
6) Important: Even though you have done everything properly there is a chance your rankings will change. To help prevent this, update as many third party links as you can to your new site. This won't be possible for all links since you won't have control over them but you should try contacting the website owners who have linked to you to update their links. You should also try getting new links to your new domain.
You can find all the sites you have linked to you by logging into your webmaster tools account and clicking your OLD domain. Then go to 'Your site on the web' and then to 'Links to your site'.
Nothing will be instant here, it will take a few days for everything to update but the above is the way Google recommends you do it.

IWeb '09 and creating an "Index" page for two separate sides of my website

I'm redesigning my website with iWeb '09 seeing that I've recently switched to Mac from being a life-long PC/Windows user. I'm not too web programming savvy so iWeb fits my needs as a very good program that redesigns my site very nicely (and quite inexpensively, as well).
My current incarnation of my website (http://www.jeffreykern.com) was designed by a professional web designer on Dreamweaver for PC a couple of years ago. Some time ago when I was trying to update my PC with XP SP 3 (bad idea as it turned out), my connection to my web hosting service got completely fouled up and I lost the ability to update the site and haven't updated my site since. Knowing that I was going to be switching to Mac (with my new Mac Pro) I never had the desire, or energy, to patch things up to update my site with my PC. Plus, I was in need of a redesign so I eventually got my site ready to go with iWeb 09. That's where I stand right now...
So, as you can see on my current site I have a main index page that splits up into the two sides of my life: the triathlete side and the writer side. I've already redesigned both sides of my site with iWeb, I'm ready to update it thru my web hosting via FTP and Transmit 3, but I cannot find how to create a main "Index" page on iWeb that will let me branch off into two different directions. By having that "Index" page intact I will be able to keep my domain of jeffreykern.com as it currently stands. I don't mind having to get two different domains for each of my two sides of my site but would like to avoid that extra step -- if, at all, possible.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jeff

Building three websites on three separate domain files would be my choice.
Its important to realize that you cannot have a page called "index" using iWeb because the associated index.html file will conflict with the one that iWeb creates.
As has been suggested, the first site would be one page. The site name would be jeffreykern.
This site will publish as jeffreykern_files and an index.html file. Inside this folder is another index.html file. This is the one your domain name will be directed at if you don't need an RSS feed.
If your server allows it, create a root folder on it called "jeffreykern" and upload the contents of the local folder to this and ignore the separate index.html file. Note that I said contents and not the folder itself.
A lot of servers require that you upload to a pre existing folder. In this case you will have to upload the index.html file and the jeffreykern _files folder.
The two other sites are named and published as writer and triathlete. The external index files of these two sites are renamed writer.html and triathlete.html.
These two files and their corresponding folders are uploaded to your root folder on the server after adding tags and optimizing.......
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/SEO.html
Now you have a main (one page) site with two sub sites.
The domain name http://www.jeffreykern.com/ is directed at the index.html file so that when this is entered into the browser, the main page will appear.
The links to the two main sections, whether they be text and/or image, are created and selected as external hyperlinks.
http://www.jeffreykern.com/triathlete/
http://www.jeffreykern.com/writer/
Clicking these links will open the first page of their respective sites.
If you do the sensible thing and trash the iWeb default navigation to replace it with a custom one, you can include external hyperlinks to the landing page and the other site in this.
The website - iWeb for Musicians - is created like this and is built on 9 separate domain files for ease of updating and publishing. The whole site is tied together with a Main navigation to get to each section which has a Sub navigation to jump around that section.
For more on navigation see.....

IWEB not generating an index page

Hi,
I've screwed something up on my site, so i had to erase the files etc in public_html now when i tried to republish the site there is no index page published what am i doing wrong?
There is no index page saved on a local folder publish either.
thanks
John

Move a page to the top of the list.
iWeb will create a new index.html file when published.
Check it.
Then move the page back to its original place.
Publish again and iWeb will create a new index.html file.
Check it.
If all this fails, create an index.html file yourself. Copy/paste the code below in a plaintext file and save it as index.html.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= Enter/Enter.html" />
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
Where it say Enter/Enter.html use your own Site- and filename.

Domain name does not link to index page.

Having a lot of difficulty publishing to FTP, have researched many forums and unable to find answers. Whether I publish to FTP via iWeb or Cyberduck, my domain name danbaileymusic.com shows a 403 Forbidden Error. However if i type in danbaileymusic.com/index or /music, ect it loads. The whole site functions fine, but the domain name does not link to the index page.
In Cyberduck all permissions have been turned on. Also I noticed that when publishing to a local folder, iWeb creates a folder "danbailey" and an index.html. This index page does not work in Cyberduck, however the index page that is WITHIN the folder "danbailey" does work, but it doesn't link to the domain name.
Please help! I've been working on this for weeks and cannot figure out why the domain name is not working!

It only creates the page names with first letter capitalized (as in Index not index) I have tried changing it from the sidebar and from the Page Name in the Inspector -- typing "index" comes back as "Index" It's easy enough to change the "I" to an" i" at the file level (which did fix the problem) but doing this also breaks all the links I have to "Index.html" Fixing this on the creation side would be ideal. Thoughts?
I am using iWeb '09 v.3.0.1 if that makes a difference

Problem uploading site to server by FTP - index page is blank

Hi,
I made my site in I web which works fine when simulating it in a local folder. When uploading by FTP to the server from a host where a rent my domain the program starts sending the files, but in the end it says publication error, try again later or contact your server provider.
I did contact the server provider and they do receive the pages that I am sending BUT:
- everything appears to end up at the wrong place in the server
- the index page that is sent with the other files appears to be empty, blank which results in the server not be alble to order the site and a white empy page is shown when opening my site on the internet.
I checked the html files which are all fine and when I send those to the server provider they seem all ok. But the index.html file is also empty on my computer. Is this normal?
My first page is called 'home' and we had tried to rename that home.html file to index.html and again upload the whole site. The result is that I can now see my homepage when opening the site on the internet but without the index on top (the names of the other pages where you can click to go to another page on the site) and that is it.
Can someone help me with this? Is this a problem with Apple, shoud the index.html file be blank? Or can they change settings in the server to solve this problem.
Grtz,
Kroko

iWeb was originally designed as a foolprof way to create websites and upload them to MobileMe.
Normally, the first, or Home, page of a website is named "index" since an index.html is required in the root folder of the server for everything to work as planned.
To stop us rookies screwing things up, and to overcome the limitations of a single MobileMe user account, the developers packaged the site files in a folder with the same name as the sitename in iWeb.
The top site in iWeb has an external index file which rediredts to the Home page so that it can be reached by the URL...
http://www.domain-name.com
Any other sites are uploaded as sub sites and require the addition of the folder name in the URL...
http://www.domain-name.com/Site-Name/
When you are uploading to a server other than MobileMe, you have two choices of publishing methods...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
Using the iWeb FTP allows you to upload the files in a foolproof way to avoid breaking the site structure. If you want to remove the site name from the URL you can publish to a local folder and upload the contents only...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/URLs-Favicons.html
This latter method is only viable so long as you don't have a blog or podcast feed.

IWeb External page Hyperlink within MobileMe/iDisk

For the last few years I have had my iWeb site set up on my MobileMe Home/iDisk, I note that iWeb files are kept at Home > Web > Sites which contains _gallery, Sites.rss and my home pages.
I have created a genealogical web site using Reunion v9.0b which is kept at MobileMe > Home > Sites. This site was linked to my iWeb pages via a Hyperlink Link To: An External Page. The URL has been http://homepage.mac.com/adrianskehan/Sites/skehan/index.htm which has worked OK. for the last few years.
The Problem is that the HomePage web application went offline on July 7, 2009. As of that date, members are unable to create new pages or edit pages you have already published.
While I can get a link to connect to any other file in the Reunion set it will not connect to the INDEX files???
Now that I have had to update the Reunion Files how do I link it back to my iWeb pages?
Message was edited by: Adrian Skehan

Unfortunately that does not work, it comes up with the following:
Looking for something on MobileMe?
We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again.
If I make the URL: http://homepage.mac.com/adrianskehan/skehan/index.html I get:
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 12 at column 14: AttValue: " or ' expected
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
The footer is the only part of the page that shows.

I have tried rebuilding the site changing the index page to each preference in Reunion and resetting the Link for each but get the same result.

Photo index page

I want to create a photo index page with links on it to all my published photo folders. How do I do this without all those folders showing up on the top bar menu on all the pages. I just want to keep a simple Home - News - Photos menu.

A search in this topic would answer your question immediately, since this has already been dealt with many, many times. Short answer: 1) uncheck 'Include page in navigation menu' (Page Inspector) for each of your photo albums. 2) create a page (don't use the Photo template) with a representative image for each of your photo albums. 3) Use 'Enable as a hyperlink' in the Link Inspector to link each image to the appropriate photo album.
Many examples of this approach in action have been provided by many people. One is on my own iWeb site, here:
http://web.mac.com/curlytool/iWeb/iWebTryout/Photos.html

Having trouble with blank "index" page

I've published my site to a folder and transfered it succefully to my webhost. The only problem is that it shows up blank. I think because the index.html is blank when I open it on my harddrive to see the contents. I don't know html well enough to input the correct code to redirect from the webaddress people type in to the aboutme page I want them to see first.
I thought the program iWeb would write the index for me.
Any thoughts/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

I am having the same issue. Published to folder and then to my yahoo hosting and the index page does not instantly redirect to the home page as expected?
On a mac it works just fine but PC browser shows blank page. Want this to be universal web access of course. Any help would be appreciated. Oh and if you wonder through the site there is nudity so be warned.
http://garryirvine.com = fine on mac not on PC browser(blank)
http://garryirvine.com/index.html worls on both. (redirects to home page from iweb project as expected [same for http://garryirvine.com/Home.html)
The index page for me is not blank on my server it has the following(without "'s):
"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= Home.html" /></head><body></body></html>"

Curious behavior of the index page

I use iWeb to maintain a site composed of an index page and many other pages. Whenever I make a change to any of the other pages and republish, I have to go back and republish the index page by itself, otherwise it will not load on any browser. This no big deal, as long as this continues to work, but I worry that something worst may happen, like never reload.!
Has someone run into this small issue and perhaps has a suggestion to resolve it? Thanks.

I also did this for my webhosting provider, not knowing I could keep it to Welcome. I should've thought of coming here, but I was assuming my errors were because it was Index, not index, so I went in with a text editor and changed all instances of Index with find and replace (names of the programs were changed to reflect it as well). Then I came here, so I edited the Index to Welcome in the iWeb interface, then saved it to the same folder after changing the old folder names to Welcome for an overwrite. It put the new stuff in a new folder of the same name in the website folder. Im using classicFTP. I hadn't checked to see that the folder had been placed inside the old folder, and saw it after I started uploading, when it was too late. So, I uploaded again, this time the inner folder only. My website hasn't changed. Sorry, I know just enough about script to be dangerous to my programs. Can anyone give me a gentle nudge or something in the right direction? I also tried using the question mark but it just gave me a page not found error.

Changing .index page

Can i change the .index page to another name and the slide show will still work?

Can i change the .index page to another name and the
slide show will still work?
As Apnewbie mentions, you can change the names of your pages to anything you'd like while avoiding the use of certain "special" characters. Just make sure that you make the changes INSIDE iWeb and then republish your site. You can't simply change the file names in the published sitefolder. That will definitely break things.

Publishing website index page

A few things to note:
- I host my website on mobile me, but i use my own domain name (purchased on godaddy.com).
- I've configured iWeb, Mobile Me, and Godaddy to point to the right domain.
The problem I am having is that the index page for my website is under www.mydomain.com/index/main. I want it to be www.mydomain.com/index (no second., i.e. main page). However, it seems as though iWeb forces you to have that second "main" page. I've renamed the pages on iWeb a few times to tweek the index page, but to no avail.
How can I do this?

If you are publishing your site to MobileMe, then there is nothing you can do about this. It is your site folder and your site name and this is normal iWeb site structure for this extra page to appear on publishing.
If you publish to an external server you can change this but the only way that you can do this in MobileMe is if you change your CNAME forwarding to masked web forwarding and then your url will become http://www.domain.com for every single page of your site. People can only bookmark your whole site and not individual pages.

New INDEX page

hello sadly, i am leaving iWeb behind.. happily, i have a WP blog ready to roll. QUESTION: i want my iWeb site to have a new INDEX page - just want to add an I'm moving image with link to new WP blog. How?
Thanks!!!
Randi

Randi:
Just add a new blank page to your existing iWeb site, put it at the top in iWeb and add the photo and text you want to it along with a text based hyperlink to the new WP site.
If you have other pages in the existing site you want to have available you could embed the new WP site in an iWeb page like this demo page: Embed One Site Within an iWeb Page. That way you can keep the non blog pages of your existing site (if there are any) and have the new blog included.
If there is nothing in the old site that you want visitor to have access to just put the following code in an HTML snippet on the first page of your current site:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "URL TO NEW WP SITE"; </script>
Thanks to Cyclosaurus for this code
This will immediately redirect visitors to your old site directly to your new one.

Unable to access java web application index page on Weblogic server 10.3.6

Hi,
I have deployed a Web application on Weblogic server.
My war file is very basic with just a index page.
I am able to deploy & access its index page properly in OC4J ( applicaton server on soa suite 10g ) and apache tomcat.
But when i deployed same war file in weblogic am not able to access its index page, Getting below error:
Error 503--Service Unavailable
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:

Rediect particular URLs to index page

Hi,
From Apache1.3, I have to redirect all the URLs coming from port http://mydomain.com:9001/servlet/* to a index page (index.html).
I tried giving "Redirect" directive under mod_alias
Redirect /servlet http://mydomain.com:9001/index.html
but it is looking for http://mydomain.com:9001/index.html/* and is not redirecting it to the file. How can I do this.

Allie,
Can you tell me how you figured out how to have one index page link to a 2nd index page like the california example you described?
I am trying to do exactly that but layout is not happening the way I would like so i think I am doing something wrong
Thanks
Patrick
