IWeb site redirects to MM mailbox or log-in

I created a site with iWeb, but when I try to visit it, I get redirected to the MM log-in page or, worse, to my open mailbox. I can visit it fine on other computers. This happens with both Safari and Firefox. I've cleared the caches, history, etc. and it still happens. The tech people think this might be a DNS issue but no one has been able to tell me how to fix it. Help!

Please provide your url and your MobileMe username so we can see for ourselves what is happening. Without that it is really impossible to help.

Logs or stats in iWeb site?

Anyone know if there's a way to do easy referrer logs and stats for iWeb sites? I've found StatCounter, but that requires embedding an HTML code into every page, which is tough since you have to go in and re-edit it every time you modify something in iWeb.
It'd be nice to see who's linking my site and pages and entries since I have such a layrinthine site these days - any suggestions that don't involve the 2-step process of pasting HTML code into each page evry time I edit it?

there is no other way - but there are fast ways! check this video tutorial:

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 :

More than one user login to iWeb site? Can it be done?

I am wondering if it's possible to create multiple users to log into a iWeb site. However I think you can only have one username and one password, but maybe I'm missing something.

It's not very clear what you mean by "users" or "site." If you are talking about .Mac, and about different user accounts on your machine being able to do things on a single .Mac account, there is no problem -- the same username and password can be put into the .Mac preferences for each account. Any iWeb sites created from different machine accounts will have their data located exclusively in the Domain file in the Home folder of that account. One user can't edit the site of another user without tranfering the relevant Domain file.
If that's not what you are talking about, let us know.

How can I make my old Homepage take me directly to my new iWeb site???

Is there I way I can have it so people don't first have to "land on" a .Mac homepage and then push a "button" to get to the new iWeb site?
It would be GREAT if anyone knew a way to do this... I am so excited with my new site, but need it to replace my old .Mac homepage (or at least make it so people are automatically redirected to the new iWeb page)
Anyone have some ideas??

They should go all back into the green Purchased playlist when you make another purchase.
How can I get it back into a playlist other than dragging each song
Make a Smart playlist and set it to Kind contains Purchased, then you won't have to drag any songs.
I have over 3500 purchased
Really?
3500 purchased songs?

Iweb site not showing up in firefox version 3.0

i recently published my iweb site to a folder and put it up on a hosting site, it used to be at .mac, but well...
anyway the photo album part of the pages is not showing up in the firefox at my work: 3.0
but it works fine in safari...
any suggestions?
www.thebeautyseeker.com

I'm having the same problem. I just published a blog with photo pages, but the photos do not load using Firefox 3.0. They show just fine using Safari. I've not tried it yet with Explorer, but friends who have logged in have not complained about not seeing the photos, so I suspect the problem is specific to Firefox.
Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

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.

What is the maximum number of pages in an iweb site

Is there a limit to the number of pages I can put in my iweb site?
I managed 30 but ran out of room in the nav bar for more pages.
Thanks for helping

Roddy's reply woke me up to the fact that my demo sites are seemingly all one site but in actuality are 5 separate sites in one domain file.
Site 1 - Contents which is the page listing for all of the other 4 sites.
Site 2-5 - each of these sites has their own navbar, In that navbar is a Contents page which is a Redirect to the Contents site.
This lets me modify one site, i.e. add or remove a page, and only have to change the Contents site to update the change in all sites. There are numerous ways you can arrange the Contents page.
This is what it looks like in iWeb;
Click to view full size
However, if you have a domain name it will apply to only one of the sites, like the Contents sites which would be the gateway to the other sites
Just one of many ways you can group pages so that they don't all have to be displayed in the navbar of every page.

How to upload and publish a non iweb site to mobile me

How do I upload a website I made from a flash template to my mobile me server, I had a iweb website published there, now I want to use my same domain name and publish the new flash site I created to the mobile me server and disable the iweb site.

Just log into your MobileMe account and go to your iDisk and delete the iWeb site that is there.
You can load your other site there by simply dropping and dragging your files for your new site to the Sites folder on your iDisk. Alternatively, MobileMe uses webdav so you can use Cyberduck to publish too.

.mac iWeb site with yahoo domain- much trouble

I have 5 websites made with iweb hosted by .mac.
I just got a yahoo domain name, (organizedmayhemmusic.com).
I want to set that domain name to only one of my sites within iWeb,
but I'm having allot of trouble. Right now I have my yahoo domain settings
set to a masked forward, but I'd like it to work how I originally intended it to.
Which would be when you go to (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com) it shows my iweb site
without any weird stuff or tricks or redirects, if possible. Under yahoo Advanced DNS Settings
I added a record, and it asks for a source, and destination. The source example was
info.thesitename.com. but I don't want any thing in front of it, I'm actually still confused on
all of that. I ended up setting the source to (www), and the destination to (web.mac.com).
Then I created the settings on the .mac account page for a personal domain. And after I typed in
my address it got me to (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com/OrganizedMayhem/OrganizedMayhem.html)
Its my iweb site adress but it replaced web.mac.com with my new domain name.
I want it to be just (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com) and worst of all you can type my other
site/page names after (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com/) and get to my other sites but with
my new domain name in the address. If anyone has any help to offer I would greatly appreciate it.
I never ask for help unless I'm pretty desperate. Thanks in advance, -Terodil-

If anyone has any help to offer
Your choices are to go back to forwarding/masking or move your site to Yahoo.

.Mac "Start Site" not the top site in iWeb site organizer

My first iWeb site I created is for my family stuff. Mildly personal.
My next one will be more friends/work.
But, when I test out the iweb help entry that says the top site in the site organizer is/will be the start site, it does not hold true when I publish them.
The help says:
Your start site is the one that opens when you type this URL (address) into a browser (don't type the brackets):
http://web.mac.com/[YourMemberName]
To change your start site:
Drag the site you want to be the start site so that it appears first in the site organizer.
But, after I publish, the start site is still the old start site. Is this a timing/web cache issue? Or, bug? Or, how can one fix this?

It could be a cache issue, but I think this is less likely. Never hurts to emtpy your browser cache though. I have seen one other person who's sites are stuck like this. Couldn't tell you why. She is stuck using the long URLs to specify each site. Maybe this is a bug in iWeb. I don't know.
But here are some things you could try...switch the order of your sites again in the Site Organizer, publish, switch them back and republish. Or you might try a "Publish ALL to .Mac".
The object here is to get iWeb to generate new index.html files that redirect to your choice of a start page. For a little background, if you look in your iDisk inside the Web folder. There is a folder called Sites. Inside Sites, there is a folder called iWeb. Inside the iWeb folder you will see the first of two redirection index.html files. This first one is what allows the short URL to work...
http://web.mac.com/yourname/
Now if you open up the site folder inside the iWeb folder, you will see another index.html file among all the other files there. This is the second index.html file that redirects to the same start page as the first. This allows the "long" URL to be used...
http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/sitefolder/
I have seen situations where either one of these index.html files have not been generated or altered to reflect changes in the Site Organizer...usually the outer index.html file inside the iWeb folder. So anything that you can do to make iWeb publish new files should work....changing the order of your sites, erasing the files from your iDisk and republishing, changing the names of your sites, doing a Publish ALL. Try these things and see if your problem isn't resolved...

Issues with loading my iWeb site on my Yahoo hosted ftp

I consider myself pretty good at troubleshooting applications on mac but iweb 09 has really stumped me. My gut feeling tells me its more of a Yahoo site ftp issue but not sure. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this issue with Yahoo web hosting but after I have built my site on iWeb and hit upload it says successful. I go to my website and nothing is there at all. Nothing except an error. This is the site im building for: http://www.peterherro.com/ As you can see there is nothing. Yet I have tried uploaded via FTP in the settings. i even tried using mobileme and having it redirect from the site to the mobileme hosted site. iWeb always thinks it did it's job when i upload but it isn't doing a thing. If i go to my mobile me it shows that my site is uploaded but if i click the clink i get an error. this is the link. http://www.peterherro.com/Main/Welcome.html
I hope this makes sense and I am hoping someone might be able to give me some insight. I hate feeling defeated by this but i am at a lose. Thanks in advance!

Cany you tell iweb to redirect people from your domain name (EX: www.PeterHerro.com) to http://web.me.com/PeterHerro ?
You have it backwards. You tell the place where your personal domain name (Yahoo?) to point that name at your site hosted on iWeb. You can do this via url forwarding, where you just type http://web.me.com/PeterHerro into a form. Or you can do it via CNAME, where you set the www CNAME to web.me.com (plus put your personal name in the MobileMe account settings).

Why is my iweb site "passworded" & why are my domains "mixing"?

I created a second iweb site and put it in a new folder. It shows up on my idisk as separate and I can access it using my web.mac url. I then parked 2 domains at godaddy and pointed them to my 2 web.mac sites. I can't understand why I have the following problems:
1. When I enter in Safari the domain for the first site (www.ponocat.com), it then brings up the domain for the second site (www.kcbaileyphotography.com) and opens the 2nd site. (I can still get to the 1st site thru the original <http://web.mac.com/kcbailey49/FoodStuff>, so I know the site is still there.) GoDaddy tells me this is an iweb problem, because the domain has the right pointer.
2. When I enter the name for the second site (www.kcbaileyphotography.com), I am asked for a password. I never passworded it.
Can anyone help me with these two questions?

When you create a second site in iWeb, unless you create a new domain file, it will publish to dotmac just as it does with the other site.
No need to put it in a folder.
The site at the top of the list is the default site when you type:
http://web.mac.com/kcbailey49/
Which in this case is:
http://web.mac.com/kcbailey49/kcbaileyphotography/
http://www.kcbaileyphotography.com redirects to that site.
Your domain
http://www.ponocat.com
redirects to:
http://web.mac.com/kcbailey49/FoodStuff/Home.html
When you move a site to the top of the list, or when you manually put a site (including the index.html file) in the sites folder of you iDisk, that Site will become the Default one.
Your redirects will just do what they are told. So there's no need to call on GoDaddy. Perhaps checking your redirect settings will be a good idea.
It takes a bit of mental juggling to graps all this.

Problems with my Iweb site after using Iweb Seo Tool!!

I just used the Iweb Seo Tool with my Iweb 09. I followed the Seo webpage instructions to use it. I published it and everything seemed to work well.
I added Google analytics and used every option available that the tool offers

But...I have some problems.
My comments in my blog have disapeared
I cant log into my MobileMe account through my system preferences
My password and use name are rejected
I can log into my site through MobileMe.com and I have even changed my password.
I have tried to publish my Iweb site and I get the error "Couldnt reach the MobileMe configuration server"
I publish using my idisk and mobileme account
I have looked on other forums and found out that if i move my "cache" from my "home" folder, to the desktop that it should work... no luck!!
Please Help!!!!
my website is www.kulturetattoo.com if you want to see where my comments are. They are listed under "testimonials" on my home page
Can I just delete the Iweb Seo Tool and get rid of any metatags, google analytics and everything else? and have my old website back?

iWeb SEO Tool can modify your site after you've published to MobileMe. It will do it on the MMe server. Takes longer but you can avoid having to publish to a folder and then uploading from there. Also the latest version, 1.7.2, is supposed to work with blog pages according to the developer: http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html

Maintaining an iWeb site from multiple machines?

After a reasonable amount of research I am pretty sure the answer is "no" but here we go...
I have both a Laptop and a desktop and would like to be able to update and maintain my site from either machine. From the looks of things this isn't as easy as it looks. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

James,
I already posted a "thank you" after the next post. I am anxious to try using the Flash Drive with my desktop and laptop.
I found out the hard way and lost a few entries. I had done my original blog and photo pages on my desktop. I copied all the "Domain" files onto the iDisk and then uploaded them on my laptop. (That took too long!) But everything was working fine. Then I added a couple more pages via the desktop, and forgot to put them on the laptop. I came to Ireland, with the laptop and published several new pages and lo and behold those couple of pages had gone missing!! I realized fairly quickly that I had overwritten those pages.
Before I go back to the US next week, I am going to load all the "Domain" files onto a flash drive and take it with me and transfer to my desktop. I have to leave the laptop here in Ireland with my husband.
Could you tell me exactly what I have to copy onto the flash drive? I had the instructions printed up somewhere, but they are not with me now!
Now another question for you!
Obviously I have all my .mac information on both of my computers. I will be visiting my daughter's after I return. Can I plug my flash drive into her laptop (an Apple, of course) - log into my .mac account and then add and publish to my iWeb sites? Or are there some other adjustments I have to make to my daughter's iWeb before I can publish to my web site. We all have the same edition of iLife 06 - I had bought a family pack.
Any advice?!! Thanks
