.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.

  • How to move iWeb site with missing Domain.sites file

    I've been asked to host a friend's iWeb site now that MobileMe is no longer an option.  The problem is that the MacBook it was created with is long gone and the only original files remaining are the image files for the site. No Domain.sites file.  They are also not sure which version of iWeb was used, if that even matters.  Initially I was thinking we could just access the existing site using ftp and go from there - upload the site to my hosting account and use Dreamweaver to maintain it, but everything I've read seems to point to 'Not gonna happen that way'.
    Is there a way to transfer an existing iWeb site hosted on MobileMe to a new hosting account and be able to work on it with another editor, all the while not having the original Domain.sites(2) file?
    Thanks much,
    Mark

    Quite a few people are moving to other drag and drop style editors like Sandvox and RapidWeaver although they aren't really any better - just more expensive.
    I advise people not to use iWeb for new sites and just to keep it going to update existing ones until they are defunct or rebuilt some other way.
    I quit using iWeb about a year ago due to the fact that it, and similar apps, can't create responsive designs for mobile devices although I did figure out a stop gap design for iPhones...

  • .Mac gallery in iweb site with custom domain name

    This is my first post on the boards and I want to say that switching from pc to mac has been one of the greatest moves of my life. Anyways Im a photographer and have my own domain name. Ive created a site in iweb with .mac photo galleries on it. To upload the site I used an external ftp loader. The site looks great but when I click on the galleries it takes me to the .mac gallery page and there is no link to get back to the home page.

    When you create the link to a .Mac gallery, check the box "Open link in new window" in the "link" inspector.

  • Re-Publishing an iWeb site with GoDaddy

    I am having a very frustrating issue when a attempt to re-upload my already made iWeb site onto a domain that I am paying for through GoDaddy. I started the site two years ago with a two year plan for hosting on GoDaddy. Everything was fine for those 2 years. Then, just recently those 2 years ran up and the web page went blank. So I payed more through GoDaddy to extend my hosting plan for 3 more years. Through doing this, GoDaddy gave me a new web hosting username and password that they told me to put in iWeb when i launch the site. So I went back to iWeb and when I click the "Publish Site" button, a notification drops down and says that the site cannot be published because the username or password are incorrect. However, it displays the OLD username and there is NOWHERE to change it to the new one that GoDaddy has given me. I have been through every menu I could find in iWeb (I am using the iLife '11 version) and cannot find anywhere to change this username and password. This is extremely frustrating because I am paying for the hosting time even when the site is not running. Please Help!!! THANKS!

    @Shawn2375 - This may assist you with uploading the site: http://x.co/mXkk Also in hat article it links you to the FTP article to help reset the password if need be. Support is also open 24/7 to assist you as well. Thanks for posting! ^Colby Go Daddy Social Media Team

  • How do I publish iWeb site with Cyberduck??

    Hi there,
    I am trying and trying, but I can't figure it out. Can anybody help me and tell me how to publish an iWeb site with Cyberduck??
    Thank you so much!
    Marc

    Okay, this is not complicated at all.
    When you want to publish an iWeb site to some place other than MobileMe, then you publish to a folder of your choice on your hard drive and iWeb will create all the files needed. It will create one folder that has the same name that you called your website inside iWeb plus an index.html page. So if you called your site Site in iWeb, then when you publish to a folder, your folder will be called Site, plus the index.html page.
    You then need to open Cyberduck and enter your ftp info, plus your username and password and then you click on open connection. Once you click on open connection you will be connected to your hosting service and there will be a folder there called Public_html. You then need to upload your folder plus index.html file from your hard drive and once these have been uploaded, you just drag and drop them into the Public_html folder on your web space. To upload in Cyberduck, just click on Action at the top and click on Upload. Once you click here you will be shown all the files on your hard drive and all you need do is go to the folder where you site is stored and then click on index.html and it will be uploaded and then click on Site or whatever your site is called and upload this and it will be uploaded.
    It is not difficult at all, but you do need to know what you are doing.

  • IWeb site with domain name

    I have created a website using iWeb and have uploaded it to my .Mac account. Now I would like to create another one but use my own domain name. Can I do that?

    Yes. Create a new site and then use domain forwarding from where you bought the domain name to forward that domain to the url of your second site.
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites much like iPhoto Library Manager and multiple libraries. Here's how I do it:
    One way to handle multiple sites is to use iWebSites. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files. If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites.
    It allows me to edit several sites and then publish only those I want to update. I can keep the changed sites unpublished as I see fit.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Is it possible to have 2 iWeb sites with one .mac account?

    I am trying to create a business site with my CV (resume) and work credentials as well as a personal site with photos etc for family and friends. Is this possible to do with iWeb?

    To keep sites totally separate for publishing you
    need to keep their data files totally separate,
    either by switching them in and out or by running
    iWeb from separate user accounts. The data file is
    located at
    Users/username/Library/Application
    Support/iWeb/Domain
    thank you -- that's gonna have to be the answer I guess, til they hopefully add a new feature.. my non-.mac site is for my kids' swim team, so I'll just create a 'swim team' user account for now. Not TOO inconvenient, I don't suppose.
    If you have two sites in the same data file already
    you can separate them by making a copy of the current
    Domain, then deleting one site from the current
    Domain, putting that somewhere safe, inserting the
    old Domain copy, and deleting the other site from
    that, giving you two Domains each with one site.
    keeping my fingers crossed that this works.
    thanks again,
    Jo

  • Multiple Web Sites with Personal Domain Names - Overview

    I have read through the last 10 pages of these discussions and have almost worked this out, but I need some help.
    Problem:
    I want to publish and edit two separate web sites with their own, individual, personal web addresses
    from the same user account on the same Mac using iWeb '08 (2.0.2) and my .Mac account
    _So far:_
    I have purchased and registered the two domain names (with Cheap-DomainRegistration.com)
    I have configured the CNAME to point to web.mac.com, and "Set up a Personal Domain" in iWeb successfully, but using a separate Mac for each web site.
    The two sites work great.
    _What (I think) I need to know:_
    (excuse me for copying these posts out, but I can't find a way to link them to this post)
    1) Should I be using iWebSites as suggested by Old Toad (posted Jan 24 in response to StAnNe's "Multiple Websites--HELP!!!")?
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    2) Should I be using Mireille's approach (also posted Jan 24 in response to StAnNe's "Multiple Websites--HELP!!!")?
    Yes you are correct in the thought that with a family pack you can use different accounts and that is the easiest way to upload with one click to .mac. But it is still possible to publish differents sites to one .mac account if that is all one has. Even if the sites are in one domain file each purchased mysite.com domain name purchased can be pointed to a different page in the site
    Look at it this way
    Original Poster has
    site1 page 1 page 2 and so on
    then he/she has brothersite page 1 and so on.
    They each have a domain name purchase wherever
    then site1domain.com is forwarded to site 1 page1
    and brotherdomain.com is forwarded to brothersite page 1.
    Even though both sites are in the same file they do not have anything to do with each other.
    This is one possibility there are others but for a novice user this could be the way to go for simplicity.
    (Mireille, if you're there, can you clarify what you said - thank you)
    3) Would I use Roddy's fix (posted Jan 23 in response to canadensis' "Publishing Multiple Websites?")?
    Here's an example of how you can separate two websites that are on the same domain file.
    Quit iWeb
    Create a new folder on your desktop and call it "iWeb Sites".
    Inside this folder create two more - Website A, Website B.
    Go to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb and copy your domain file - command C
    Paste this into folders A and B - command V - and also paste a copy of it somewhere else - like in Docs - in case you make a mistake!
    Double click the domain file in the folder Website A - this will launch iWeb.
    In the left column, delete site B, save and quit iWeb.
    Double click the domain file in the folder Website B to launch iWeb.
    Delete website A, save and quit.
    Drop the iWeb sites folder into your Home Folder.
    If you want quick access to this folder you can highlight it and do command L to create an alias to leave on the desktop.
    From now on, to launch any site in iWeb you open its folder in the iWebsites folder and double click the domain file.
    This is not necessary when you are working on only one site as iWeb saves the domain file of the last site you were working on to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb. When you open the iWeb application, the last site you worked on will be launched.
    Summary:
    I'm not sure if some of the answers in previous discussions allow for personal domain names, which is what I need.
    I would be very grateful for any suggestions as I'm getting bogged down.
    Many Thanks,
    Jeff

    When you said, "you don't need to do CNAME for both sites…", would this method still allow me to use personal web addresses for both sites?
    Yes. With "Ordinary Forwarding" you normally just type your .Mac url (web.mac.com/username/sitename) into a form at the place where you have your name.
    I thought I was using 'web.mac.com' as the 'www' CNAME (alias) for my personal domain name (web address), so that when someone typed in my personal domain name they would 'go' to the domain registration location, which would then pass it on to the .Mac server, where my web site is hosted.
    That's exactly right. It's just not the only way to do that. Ordinary Forwarding is another way, but it differs in terms of what appears in the address bar of the browser. Either you will see web.mac.com/username/.... or, if you add "masking", you will see your personal name for all pages. The CNAME method results in a address bar that reads www.myname.com/sitename/pagename.html.
    Am I way off?
    All help gratefully received,
    Jeff

  • How to publish custom web site with own domain name?

    Hey out there. I wonder if anyone can give me any tips on how to publish a web site with my own domain name.
    I have a web site I'm building and I want to purchase a domain name and then publish the site using that domain name.
    I know how to buy a domain name. I have a .mac account so I'm hoping that .mac can host the site. What I don't quite understand how to do is get .mac to host the site using that domain name. I looked through Apple Support but couldn't find what I was looking for. Just wondering if anyone has been in this situation. Thanks in advance.

    Dave ~ Welcome to the discussions. .Mac was re-branded as MobileMe last July. If you're not building your site with iWeb, it's considered to be a "custom" website. These Apple docs may help:
    MobileMe: How to publish a custom website
    iWeb ’08: Using your own domain name
    ...Use this search page to find such documents:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search
    Note that you don't need to have iLife '08 to be able to direct your domain name to your custom website published to MobileMe. As someone wrote on another thread:
    "My personal domain is linked to my MM but i don't even have ilife on my mac. When you go to the options in MM to link your personal domain to your MM it provides directions that will guide you with setting up your godaddy settings."
    ...Where "MM" is MobileMe here:
    http://me.com/account
    ...+Personal Domain+ tab, and "godaddy" is wherever your domain name is registered.

  • Has anyone tried editing an iWeb site with Contribute or Dreamweaver?

    Before iWeb, I liked using Adobe Macromedia Contribute to edit the.Mac homepages. I've been giving iWeb a spin, and it seems to occupy the same place in Apple's stable as the rest of its siblings — a pre-pubescent version of Contribute, which is a subset of Dreamweaver.
    I haven't yet tried it, but it seems as if the iWeb templates would be a good starting point, and Contribute/Dreamweaver would be great tools to polish the site.
    I'm still confused, though, as to what the .Mac WebDAV URLs are...that's the thing that always tripped me up. Dreamweaver 8 is a better at site management, it seems, but if anyone could post a "definitive" guide on using a third-party tool, it would be much appreciated.

    yes you can use other websoftware to modify iweb sites either after it is on the webserver or if you save it to a folder before publishing.
    I tried the demo of Dream weaver and it worked fine..also I used Rapidweaver which works too. Heck you could use anything that can edit HTML which is really just a text file.
    The problem with iweb is it is using those stupid PNG files which are big and to make it worse it duplicates all your images rather than having them in a shared folder you can end up with dozens of the same image which when someone visits your site and changes pages it has to download the same image again!
    pretty crazy stuff.
    iweb looks nice and as long as people are viewing it with broadband you'd be ok but dialup users are "toast" even on a simple site.
    I got the demo of rapidweaver which is not as intuiative but in someways is more complete and have done a 3 page site.. others are developing themes for it and also there are plugins which add alot of functionality.
    at $35 USD it is cheap and if you go to http://www.screencastsonline.com there are 3 videos to show you how to use it and a discount code.
    I personally thing iweb is great but has some design flaws that will need to be delt with.

  • IWeb Compatible With Yahoo?

    I am a volunteer for a non-profit organization that already has a domain through Yahoo Small Business. The previous volunteer had a PC and used Microsoft Publisher. I am wondering if I can switch to iWeb. I know that iWeb can publish using FTP but I want to double-check that it can be used with Yahoo before I recommend the organization purchase iLife.
    Has anyone used iWeb for an already existing Yahoo domain?

    Actually, BruceJ1 DID know what he was talking about. I have had an iweb website for the past few years, and have yahoo small business as my registrar and a hosting service through them. However, I have to have my Domain Name Server pointed to a DIFFERENT hosting service (which I also have to pay for) because yahoo cannot take filenames with spaces in them, and the other hosting service (webprodigy.com) does. Now, I realize I could/should just move my hosting from yahoo to webprodigy, but I keep thinking I'll find a fix since I really like yahoo, and they are already my registrar. Sounds like godaddy also handles filenames with spaces. I have recently upgraded to iweb '09 which I read on a forum changes the spaces to underscores. I'd like to get confirmation from anyone who is currently hosting an iweb '09 site on yahoo, especially anyone who started their site in an older version of iweb. Anyone?

  • Password protect non .mac iweb site?

    I publish to a non .mac server (ie, I do not use .mac). I would like to password protect a subsite within my existing iweb site (the main site is public and the subsite is for members only) I know that the password protect feature in iweb is meant for .mac accounts but is there a way for me to work around that and password protect my subsite?

    You would have to check with your host. For example, GoDaddy handles it this way:

  • I cannot open my iWeb site with any browser

    I have had an iWeb site which has been live for about a month. It has been working perfectly. It still appears to be working well within iWeb. I can make changes and publish changes.
    When I now search the internet using any browser, it says
    [Safari] can't open the page "http://www.mydomain.com" because the server where this page is located isn't responding.
    I have checked my .mac account and everything seems to be fully functional. Why has my site suddenly disappeared off the internet?

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try deleting thesee files.
    com.apple.mobileme.configuration
    com.apple.mobilemesyncclient
    Here's the path: ~/Library/Caches/
    Move those files to the Trash and retart your Mac.
    Try to access your site. If that didn't help...
    With iWeb open from the Menu Bar click File/Visit Published site
    Then go to File/Publish Entire Site to MobileMe and see if that helps...
    If not more help here. http://web.me.com/YourMobileMeAccount/
    Also, In your Finder: Go/ iDisk / My iDisk which will mount your iDisk on your Desktop if it is't alerady there. Open your iDisk then go to the iDisk/ Web / Sites folder to see if your website folder is there along with an index.html file.
    You can read posts from iWeb users on Facebook also.

  • Deleting an iWeb site with movies

    I have been using my iWeb site while abroad to send small movie clips etc home to the family, now I am home, I want to delete that content and start a new website altogether.
    If I delete the local copies of the files does it update the site too? and where can I find the movies as I want to keep them but not on the site.
    Thanks all
    Geoff

    When you initially put the movies into iWeb how did you do this? Did you create the movie page directly from iMovie or did you drag and drop the videos into iWeb?
    When you use a movie in iWeb, iWeb places a copy of the movie in your Domain file. If you drag and drop from your "movies" folder into iWeb, that original file stays right in the movies folder. So, if you were bringing your media from other places (even if you use the Media inspector) into iWeb, deleting that content does NOT delete your originals.
    If you deleted it after copying it to save space, now you've only got one copy IN your Domain file. In that case, you could control-click on your Domain file, choose "Show Package Contents" and then copy out the movie files before you delete the content in iWeb.
    If you're not sure if you want to completely erase everything you've done, you can always save off your Domain file for future use. Once you've got it filed away, you can create a whole new site in iWeb knowing that anything that you forgot to make a copy of, you still have available.
