IWeb Site Won't Authenticate. .htaccess not working.

Ok... I have searched for a solution and I just can't find one. I am publishing my iWeb site to my sites folder and serving them from my local computer. I am trying to password protect the site. I have enabled the .htaccess in both the httpd.conf and user.conf file. I have set up a .htaccess and .htpasswd file and have them in the main sites folder directory within my user folder. I can't get the site to authenticate. It just goes to the site. I have saved the files through textedit as plain text documents. Here is the .htaccess info.
AuthUserFile /Users/username/Sites/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Password Protected Area"
AuthType Basic
<limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</limit>
Any ideas. I am totally pulling my hair out here. Nothing seems to work. I have searched online and here and just can't find a solution... Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.

Elden...
Just wanted to let you know. I fanally got it to work. It was my .htaccess file. I was creating it in text edit and converting the file to plain text and then saving it. I guess this is not a format that it should have been in.
So I googled about creating a .htaccess file and found instructions on how to use pico in terminal to create a file. And that worked.
I have read though that I should be able to create .htaccess files in text edit. Do you have any idea what I was doing wrong or how I am supposed to do it correctly in text edit? Just curious for educational sake.
Thanks again, your help sent me in good directions.

I created a website with iweb, some of the links do not work on ie

Icreated a website on iweb, originally had problem with firefox, I was helped and that issue was resolved. I just discovereded that some of my links within the site are not hot/working. It seems to be working on safari, firefox and google chrome but not on internet explorer and it is not all the links. Any suggestions?

Hmm, okay I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know that a lot of iWeb users say that they have some issues with IE, and I know that lots of shapes and shadows can have an affect on an iWeb site's appearance in iWeb. But it seems strange that it would only happen on that one page, when the other pages are pretty similar.
I would try the rage software/webcrusher method, as it is possible that if you run your site through webcrusher, it will end up working. That tutorial mentions not having shapes and shadows, but I doubt that's something you'd want to get rid of entirely as that seems to be the bulk of the design, but it's still worth a shot to just optimize the site and see if it works.
If you need help with it, e-mail rage software and their support guys will be able to lend a hand.

My iWeb site won't publish

Figuring I've seen some reasonably nice looking sites published via iWeb, and having all the tools supposedly integrated to incorporate podacasts, movies, etc., AND having been a .Mac/Mobile Me subscriber since 2005, with rather little relative benefit compared to other cloud/hosting services I could have used, I decided to give iWeb and Mobile Me a spin with a real project, something sort of arty. So, fine, I have created a Site, and created decent workflows for a very frequent podcast, and hit the "Publish" button.
And waited.
As typically happens with me, I have added a challenge to this mix, in that I have another domain which I would like hosted via MobileMe, so I looked up the directions for the redirect, and dutifully edited the DNS registry for that domain to get aliasing (CNAME: web.me.com.) to work, which according to everything I can see, has. Two days have now passed, and still no site on either the MobileMe address or the aliased domain.
I believe I have done everything correctly. ANy suggestions as to how I can get my site up and running?
Thanks in advance!

Here's how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
Click to view full size
2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Site_Name, or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding. This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site. This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents. Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site. This can be accomplished is three ways.
1 - don't use the CNAME method. Just use URL forwarding . This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?
In iWeb domainfile 1:
Create a dummy site : _dummy
with a blank page.
Create your working site : Whatever
Add pages
Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
Check.
In iWeb domainfile 2:
Create/Use your CurrentSite.
Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
Check.
From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses CNAME forwarding. Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file.
The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.
Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
NOTE: the CNAME method provides a shorter URL: http://www.Domain_Name.com/Site_Name/Page_Name. CNAME does not have masking.
The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:   http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Domain_Name/Page_Name.   With domain name masking that will be shortened to:   http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
However, with masking visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site. If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page. Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.

.htaccess not working.

All,
I am working with a 3rd party to have some scripts installed that use the .htaccess function. (10.4.11)
T?he developer has asked me to enable (or check and see if it is enabled) .htaccess.
These scripts worked fine when we installed them previously on a few of our other boxes. (10.3.9 xServe)...and I don't recall having to manually enable .htaccess or a module there.
Any thoughts? The .htaccess function is clearly not working on this box and I don't know where the "switch" is.
Take pity on me and point me the right direction please?
Thanks,
-C

Hey Chris,
I have also been trying to get .htaccess working using the link above. It is still not working for me.
I have mod rewrite loaded
I checked both /etc/httpd/httpd.conf and /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
Each are identical
There is a line
AccessFileName .htaccess
So I am assuming that is on. My only other issue is finding the correct Override statement.
In osx 10.5.1 Server there are 3 entries that contain AllowOverride one is for Alias /icons/
the 2nd is for
<Directory /Library/WebServer/CGI-Exuctables>
the 3rd is for
<Directory />
My questions are.. which httpd.conf do I edit? What changes do I make to it?
Do I need to make a new <Directory> entry for the location of my "website"?
My website is located in /Library/WebServer/domainname
My server settings for that site is configured as follows
1) folder listing (enabled)
2) Web DAV (disabled)
3) CGI Execution (disabled)
4) WebMAil (disabled)
5) SSI (enabled)
6) Allow All Overides (enabled)
7) Spotlight Searching (disabled)

IWeb site won't load in Safari

I just published a site: http://web.me.com/patrickfifth/Epigram/index.html
It gets about 10% loaded and stops. It happens after I make a change and upload to mobile me. I have gone into mobile me and deleted the entire site and re uploaded and that works but I make constant changes to these sites and shouldn't have to do this.
Any ideas, is it a bug?
Thanks, Patrick

OK, I'll try that. It begs the question though, why not index? That's been the go to name since web began. !?!
Yes, but iWeb creates its own index.html files independently of whatever the user names his pages, so you could wind up with a conflict. Whether this is causing your issue I don't know, but renaming your top page is worth a try.

Htaccess not works at public_html: why?

Hi,
i have the topic problem.
The htaccess file works correctly in /srv/http dir, but if i use the same file in public_html it isn't see (i think).
I googled the question but i have not find a real answer to the problem.
Can someone help me?
Sorry for my english.
PS: I have set "AllowOverride All" on: httpd.conf and the rispective config file for usersdir.

Well I'm having the same problem. The configuration is exactly by the book of apache I think:
UserDir public_html
<Directory "/home/*/public_html">
#AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
#Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>
Even if I take a look in to .htaccess file what I have tried on sever several and distribution:
php_flag allow_url_fopen on
RewriteEngine on
# RewriteBase /home/*/public_html/site/
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com [NC]
# RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)?/?$ index.php?page=$1&page2=$2
And on last step, I look in to log file where I see that:
[Tue Nov 15 20:13:08 2011] [error] [client ::1] File does not exist: /srv/http/home, referer: http://localhost/*/site/
So now if I'm thinking right it's trying to find the directories in /srv/http/home, but I'm not requesting home I'm requesting different variable and why it's trying to find the directories in /srv/http if I'm using userdir. So I tried set RewriteBase in my htaccess file but same problem. To be honest I'm out of idea and I be happy when someone solve this.

Link to site-root relative style sheet not working CS4

I am trying to define links to site-root relative external style sheets - as I believe that IE conditional comments prevent Templates from correctly updating the links. The styles are not being applied when I use any href path begining with "/". So, the following do not work:
<link href="/styles/myStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="/myStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Dreamweaver can open the css file from a right-mouse click and even give me warnings about css properties as a tool-tip as I hover over the file. The styles are applied fine with document relative paths:
<link href="../myStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Any ideas?
Jeff

I have a website that I am building. Transferring word docs to the site by copy/paste does not work with firefox.Why?

I am trying to complete my website data entry with fire fox since the security of internet explorer is questionable. I am having no success in transferring written or graphic documents from Fire Fox to my website.

I assume this is a sitebuilder tool. Could you mention which sitebuilder it is?
Is the problem that a paste button provided by the sitebuilder does nothing when you click it? This could be related to a Firefox security feature that bars sites from reading your Windows clipboard. Or it could just be broken. If it's a sitebuilder button, I could look into past threads for possible solutions/workarounds.
For pasting text, instead of using a button provided by the sitebuilder, can you use one of the Windows shortcuts?
* Ctrl+v
* right-click > Paste
* Edit menu > Paste ''(if you use the classic menu bar)''
That might not work with images...
Finally, I will say that Internet Explorer 11 is a pretty solid product. If you need to use it for your website builder tool because it only works well in IE, I don't think you are taking a lot of security risk there. Just don't stray over to random sites you don't trust.

When connecting my ipod nano (5 gen) I get an error messege saying that it was recognized but not properly. Ive tried everything the support site says and it still not working. What do I do now?

When connecting my ipod nano (5th gen) I get an error messege saying that it was recognized but not propperly. I treid everything that the support site said to do but it still not working. What do I do no?

This came from another thread, but worked for me. Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62. Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update). Reboot, and reinstall iTunes. It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano. Good luck.

Site column Person or Group not working through TMG

We published our Sharepoint 2010 Site through TMG 2010, everything is working fine, except some users cannot edit the site column Person/Group in the document library. The Word 2013 opens and in the field we just see not currently available. I
have some users with Word 2013 where it's working fine, so I think this must be some word settings.
Any ideasß

Hello,
I have a similar problem (same Setting).
I get the error message that the sharepoint "saving/storing location" could not be interpreted (translation
from the German error message), after I was prompted for the user credentials. I do not get an error message on server side.
The TMG Settings:

Apply link translation to this rule
This setting works if I connect via a browser (from inside and outside)
But trying to connect via Workspace 2010 I get an error from outside (from inside it works)
The log from the TMG:

On the Sharepoint I configured AAM:

I also tried to add:
http://something.tech.at

and
http://something.tech.at

but it was not working correctly.
Hope you can help.
Thanks,

Multi-site Webdialer/Click to Call not working

Hello pros
I have a CUCM 7.1 deployment with 50+ sites. I got Click 2 Call and Webdialer to work on the central site, but trying to start a call from a phone that is not on the main site does not work. I guess is related with some filtering access/list on the path... Before checking routers and switches access lists like crazy, I would like to know which ports CUCM uses to control the IP phone and which ports would use the phone to answer to those requests. ¿Can anyone give me a hand with this? I haven`t found it on the documentation.
Thanks in advance

Hello Inder,
Thanks for your input. However Im not sure if 8443 is all I need, communciation between Click2Call and CUCM seems to be fine. I´ll explain what I got.
PC in central site, phone in central site WORKS
PC in remote site, phone in remoet site FAIL
PC through VPN (bypassing WAN restrictions), phone in remote site FAIL
PC through VPN (bypassing WAN restrictions), phone in central site WORKS
PC through VPN (bypassing WAN restrictions), IPC in same PC WORKS
So the problem seems to be between CUCM and Phones in remote sites...
Please share your thoughts
Thanks again, pros

Please see my site about Navigation Bar Links not working

Greetings,
I have an urgent issue with www.ForexProFund.com and it's navigation bar links. For some reason only some of the links work in the navigation bar. I have tried and recreated new pages and moved all the content over to the new pages with no luck. I moved the nav bar to the most "forward" position and pushed everything else to the back so it's on the top for sure. You can see that on the "contact" page, the navigation bar does not work, and I have no idea why...it's the same on the "Open Account" page.
I really need this fixed, as I am sure many of you do.
Thanks in advance for any input or ideas.
Jason :>

Hi there,
Can you tell me how to "reduce" these things? I am not sure why some links in the nav bar and others do not...maybe I am doing something wrong? Very frustrating since Mac. does not let you simply setup a nav bar....it all has to be template based and then these types of things happen. Either way, if you have details of how to remedy this, please let me know. I tried to remove the line under the nav bar on the first two pages and still no luck.
Thank you!

Almost new battery won´t charge, does not work on AC

After spending a few days in Taiwan (110V) the battery of my PB G4, A1138 won´t charge any more. Power connector lights amber.
After coming back to Austria, i connected the PB for 2 days and it would charge again and worked proper. Now, 2 months later, the battery again refuses to charge, coconut battery & system profiler say that there is no AC power connector & battery is not charging. It won´t power up with AC connected. I did the PMU reset and PRAM reset - no effect.
The battery is an original Apple replacement and has only 40 loading cycles. i´ve measured the voltage at the battery connector in the battery slot (3V & 6V depending on the pins), so the charger provides voltage.
Can anybody tell, if the DC-in board is faulty or if it´s the logic board or something else?
I´m thankfull for any advice!

It's fairly common for the pre-MacSafe power connectors on the computer to loosen due to stress. The points where the barrel-shaped chrome connector assemble is soldered (or flowed) to the logic board lose contact and you get intermittent charing at best.
If you connect to A/C adaptor and gently wiggle it up and down, can y ousee charging start again/ "Up" is the position where the contact should again meet.
My 1Ghz 17" MBP will not start on A/C alone until the battery has a little charge. I don't know it's the dead internal backup battery (common) of something else that causes two good 65W power supplies to report in Profiler as 45W.
