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.

Iweb, personal domain, CNAME problems

Hi,
We have the following problem, no assistance being provided from .dotmac (2 days, 3 days - 2 requests).
Symptoms:
we have followed apple's instructions:
1) Ensuring that we have a proper domain name (www.xxx.com.au)
2) Ensuring that we have created a CNAME alias (www.xxx.com.au -> web.mac.com)
3) Associating the name www.xxx.com.au as our personal domain
4) Allowed more than 48 hrs
5) Publishing to the website which works okay (ww.xxx.com.au via the latest release of iWeb which supports personal domains). (Iweb shows [email protected] www.xxx.com.au at the bottom of the window). Files are in subdirectory idisk web/Sites/XXX.
All that has happened so far is that when you type in www.xxx.com.au in a browser window, you see a redirection to web.mac.com and then to http://www.apple.com/dotmac.
More interesting is when you log into .mac ([email protected]) and check the account settings -> personal domain you see www.xxx.com.au listed and when you click on it you see a redirection to web.mac.com and then to http://www.apple.com/dotmac.
Further interesting effects occur when you log into .mac ([email protected]) and check My Pages, any of the pages (ie "About Us" redirects to http://www.xxx.com.au/XXX/About_Us.html and then to http://www.mac.com/account_error.html. (Apples "I'm sorry page").
DNS details below:
Host Record type Value
xx.yy.aaa.aaa / 24 PTR xxx.com.au.

Make RSS feed with iWeb, personal domain name

I have a question I jus can't figure out, even asked at an Apple store today in Minnesota.
I created my website with iWeb, simple to do and used my personal domain, http://www.jannetwalsh.com.
I just can't figure out how to create the RSS feed.
Do I need to place a feed file in the public file where I "house" my site? Any suggestions would be great. I am learning and would love to learn more!
Thanks,
Jannet

iWeb is being phased out. Suggest you put your efforts into something you don't have to redo right away.

Iweb-personal domain problem

Im having issues with registering my iweb site under my own domain name(yes, I own it)
When I go to <file> and then to <setting up personal domain> it then takes me to< .mac login> which then takes me to my <.mac account settings> where there is nothing indicating anything about domain registration. Any thoughts? Thanks...

There should be a button over at the right, 4th one down, called Personal Domain.
Are you using iWeb 08?
You can't "register" your domain with Apple, it has to be actually held somewhere else, where you are able to modify the www CNAME entry.

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?

How do i add a personal domain to my iWeb site?

I created a website using iWeb and logged on to mobile me to activate the personal domain I bought. It's asking me to:
Add Personal Domain
Before your iWeb site can be viewed at your personal domain, you must complete the following steps:
Go to your registrar's website. Define web.me.com as the "www" CNAME (alias) for your domain.
If you need help creating a CNAME, contact your registrar.
Return to this page and click Done.
Your registrar can take up to 48 hours to update your domain.
Can someone explain where or who my registrat is? I bought my domain through GoDaddy.com. Are they my registrar?
Thanks,
Dali

Are they my registrar?
Yes.
And to answer the next question : godaddy iweb cname
And here's the shortcut to the GoDaddy Help page :

It's also discussed daily in the MobileMe forum : godaddy cname

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.

Iweb was not publishing changes to my personal domain name, AND now it won't let me publish at all!

Hi, i am new to the apple community so bare with me whilst i struggle to explain...
I recently purchased a hosting site through netregistry.net. www.toyboxtherapies.com.au I spoke to them to allow the changes to the CNAME through their site.They did this for me. Once they did this my original 3 page site that I had published to mobileme came up.
When i added changes to the site, none of them were published even though iweb said they had been. I gave the site 48 hours (well, i gave them a week) to update the changes.
I went to double check today and now iweb wont let me publish to my domain name at all, it just lists File>Set up personal domain on mobile me.
When I log into mobile me my domain name is there. I have tried removing t and setting it up again, but nothing is happening with iweeb. Still the same problem.
Please help! I am trying to get this business off the ground and its all very frustrating!

This is what I see in a Lookup :
; <<>> DiG 9.6-ESV-R4-P3 <<>> www.toyboxtherapies.com.au cname +multiline +nocomments +nocmd +noquestion +nostats +search
;; global options: +cmd
www.toyboxtherapies.com.au. 3600 IN CNAME web.me.com.
It means that the CNAME record points to MobileMe.
So go where you manage your domain and delete the CNAME record and change the A-record(s) to point to your new webhost.
It takes some time for the changes to propagate thru the internet. A minimum of 20 minutes.
Note that when you publish to MobileMe, iWeb recieves the domainname information from the MobileMe server. Only when you publish elsewhere you have to enter the domainname. But if you do not change the settings where you host your domainname, it still directs to MMe. But that's beyond iWeb.

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.

IWeb hanging at logging into MobileMe (Personal Domain Problem)

I've searched and searched for an answer to my problem all over the internet and these forums and keep coming up blank.
Apologies if the answer is somewhere and I've missed it.
It could be a wider problem with my MobileMe, but iWeb is where it first occurred.
I recently had my personal website forwarding to my MobileMe site, and was using the MobileMe webspace to host my site. I had set my personal domain (in MobileMe) to the personal website. Why I did this I'm not sure, as I wasn't actually using the external webspace, merely forwarding it to my MobileMe site.
However I then decided I wanted to create a new site and this is where the problems began to occur. When I tried to publish the new site, it seemingly tried to publish to personaldomain/new_website name/ which obviously didn't exist as there was no external webspace there.
I then decided to reset everything, get rid of the personal domain setting within MobileMe and just merely forward my external web addresses to my Me sites. Upon deleting my Personal Domain from the mobileme settings page and logging into iWeb, the website name next to my username was still my external website address, and iWeb seemed to think it was all still published (which it was, as when I went to my web.me.com/etc, my website was there) However I wanted to start from scratch and republish everything, so I deleted all the web/sites section from my idisk, and hoped I could republish everything (this could have been a mistake!)
Now when I try to publish, iWeb just hangs at logging into MobileMe and won't publish anything. iPhoto also won't upload new photo albums and neither will aperture. They just hang at syncing galleries.
I'm completely at a loss as to how to proceed. I've deleted preferences from iweb and also logged out of mobileme, put a fake name in and logged back in again (to clear the cache I think) and still iweb hangs. I've even tried creating a new user account and logging in there and still it hangs.
Apologies for the essay of a post, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Just some suggestions as to where to go would be helpful. I'm wondering if it's something to do with Keychains? I had a brief look in there but it all went over my head. This is the first problem I've ever had with my new mac, and being from a PC background, don't really know where to look to fix things.
Thanks in advance to people who even get through reading the entire post!

If stephen's suggestion doesn't help you might consider the following:

After waiting a day for the rolling restore to happen, I called AppleCare because Apple had sent an email saying my service was back, and it wasn't. I still could send and not receive using Mail.
Here is what fixed it. Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord. For me this was lights on.
I am left wondering how long ago I could have had email had I known this preference reset scheme.
Although for a different MMe issue it will clear out the MMe login info so you can enter everything anew and give it a fresh start.

Multiple sites created in iWeb '08 / Personal Domains for Each?

If I create more than one site in iWeb, can each site have its own Personal Domain?
So far, I have created 2 sites: When I publish the first one, it shows up on the web as http://web.mac.com/myname/nameofmysite/etc (which is fine). But I would like for the 2nd site to go to my personal url.
I registered my domain name with GoDaddy, and have gone thru the process of assigning the CNAME at GoDaddy and Personal Domain at mac.com
The problem is: When I click on Visit Published Site in iWeb, it goes to my domain name (www.mydomainname.com/my2ndsitename), but still showing the standard "placeholder" home page at GoDaddy.
What do I need to do to make my ONLY my 2nd site show up at my personal url? And do I still need to do something else at GoDaddy to make my actual site appear at my personal domain url?

The site you want to use CNAME with must be the topmost site in the organizer at the left side inside the iWeb app when you publish (or the last site you publish if you are using separated Domain files).
It would be good to provide your url(s) if you want further help.
Only one CNAME type pointing can be used per account, but you can use ordinary forwarding/masking for other sites, where you just type the longer url (http://web.mac.com/username/sitename) into a form at the place which has your name.

Using existing .Mac pages in iWeb to personal domain

I've tried to find a way to take my existing .Mac pages and move them to my new domain. I made these pages way back when .Mac first started. Does anyone know if it's possible to bring in your existing .Mac pages, then change them to a personal domain?
Message was edited by: Pup

Can't be done, as iWeb cannot import anything.
If you have a MobileMe account, then it should be possible to move your homepage and place it in the Sites folder on your iDisk.

IWeb 08 Personal Domain Setup - HELP!!!

I own a domain through Godaddy and host my iWeb site on .Mac. I have always used Godaddy's domain forwarding to redirect www.lucascantor.com to web.mac.com/lucascantor. Now that Apple has included a personal domain feature in iWeb, I followed their instructions to set up my site so that instead of redirecting to web.mac.com/lucascantor, www.lucascantor.com simply is the url. Now www.lucascantor.com just goes to a Godaddy page. I have waited 48 hours and nothing has changed. Even if I re-enable domain forwarding, I still see the godaddy page in place of my site.
My settings look like this:
Apple: http://tinyurl.com/34dlp4
Godaddy: http://tinyurl.com/33k75x
Somebody please let me know if there is something I need to change,
Thanks!

You have two ways to use a personal domain name with .Mac:
a) The one which has already been available for years, namely using domain forwarding and masking. I guess that is what you are doing now
b) The new one which has you make a CNAME entry. This has a number of advantages over a), including a url in the browser address bar of the form http://www.mydomain.com/sitename/pagename.html, no forwarding/masking involved.
If the place you have your domain does not let you do b), then you are stuck with a) or you need to change the place where your name is located.
If you want something else, best host your site on a different server, as least for the next couple years.

Adding mobileme gallery content in iWeb with a personal domain

I've been building gorgeous looking pages in iWeb this year which I have attached to a personal domain.
I'm having trouble adding a movie that I have published on my mobileme gallery as widget is telling me there is nothing available. Could this be because I have iWeb pointed towards my own domain even though it's hosted by mobileme?
I'm confused and really want to add this video as something over than through a hyperlink.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul.

Paul:
If you have a MMe gallery that you want separate from the others but still have viewable in an iWeb site and page set its setting in iPhoto to be hidden from the rest of the gallery:
Click to view full size
Visit the gallery online and copy it's URL address. Add that address to iFrame code in an HTML snippet as I've done in this demo page: MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies (the code is shown on the page). You can set the gallery to disiplay in any of the availablemodes, grid, mosaic, etc., by using the URL for that mode.
The visitor can view the gallery but will not be able to go to your other galleries. Just a way to post a single gallery to your web page.
