.Mac 'Personal Domain' and Aperture Galleries?

hi all.
I have a personal domain www.gregory.hk and I've arranged with my DNS guys to set up a subdomain gallery.gregory.hk with the CNAME pointing to web.mac.com
I'm getting two impressions from searches I've done on Apple:
1. personal domains only apply to .Web and not to Galleries.
2. personal domains must be a 'www' subdomain; i.e., the subdomain must be www[.mySub].myDomain.hk
So, the questions:
has anyone created galleries with Aperture and sent them to their personal domain?
has anyone been able to use a personal domain that doesn't include the www sub? after all, all that really matters is that requests to web.mac.com are via Port 80... right?
cheers,
Gregory

great answer. thank you.
although the .Mac galleries have a slick interface (and Aperture only uploads new/edited photos), I have a few problems with the .Mac galleries:
the url shows your mac.com user name! I like to keep my @mac.com address secret so that's a big problem.
no comments?
very limited space (and not customisable) for album descriptions.
no captions? (or am I blind and miss it?)
I want to have a slick gallery that can be configured/populated from Aperture, and preferably be styled/coded to match my MT4 blog (I'm working on a new version of my blog at this time...).
mac.com was a consideration because my .Mac subscription includes the storage/bandwidth and it's just sitting there not getting used.
SmugMug Photo is another consideration but I'm a little concerned about the work needed to (a) simplify the interface and (b) match it up with my blog design. (I don't like cluttered album designs. here's one of my own hand-designed albums for reference.)
for the record, I'm handy with xhtml and css.
suggestions, input and opinions would be welcomed.
sincerely,
Gregory

How to Publish to a personal domain AND .Mac?

I had a working iWeb site published to web.mac and it working fine. I added a new site in iWeb08 and set up a personal domain. When I selected the new site and published, BOTH my old site and the new one published to my personal domain. How do I tell iWeb08 to publish one site to a personal domain and another site to .Mac (.Me)?

This post is a little confusing. Do you have two sites hosted at MMe or not?
Do you mean that you used to host your business site and MMe and have now switched to uploading directly to your web host using ftp? If you have, then you can of course delete this site from your iDisk/MMe account, because if you have uploaded directly, then MMe has nothing to do with your domain name any more.
If you have not done this and you are hosting both your sites on your MMe account via either CNAME or web forwarding, then no, you can't delete that site because if you do, there is nowhere to forward to.
Password protection will not affect any other sites that you have. Just go into iWeb and set this up and then re-publish and it will just affect that site that you set it up for. Nothing else.

Personal Domain and MobileMe

Once I changed my settings to my Personal Domain, I could no longer post my second MobileMe site. Can I use a Personal Domain and have more than one MobileMe site?

This is incorrect. You can only use the personal domain name option with CNAME forwarding ONCE for every MobileMe account. If you want other sites, then you can publish as many as you want and they will have the url http://web.me.com/username/sitename. If you want to use domain names with these sites, then you can, but you have to use ordinary masked or unmasked web forwarding so that your domain is forwarded to web.me.com/username/sitename.
Also, why do you persist in placing links that don't work? Try clicking on your WordPress link and it comes up every time with server not found.

Personal Domain and Network Solutions

Does anyone out there have a .Mac Personal Domain site working where Network Solutions is the Registrar? If so, how did you handle the CNAME aliasing?

For anyone else having this problem it appears that you must:
1. In the Network Solutions Advanced DNS Manager, first eliminate the numerical IP address for 'Host' entry 'www'. When you first look at this entry it will have a note something to the effect that "Currently points to the "Under Construction" page.
2. Replace the Alias 'CNAME' with the entry 'www' then enter your Domain Name (i.e. mypersonaldomain.com) in the 'Other Host' box.
I may be wrong on this but you may need to allow a period of several hours between this two steps.

Personal domain and regular .Mac site

I would like to create my own personal website (like usual on .Mac in my personal area) and then also post another domain I own to my .Mac area. How does it know which site to "publish" to? Or can you only have one website in iWeb '08?
Thanks.

If I put in myname.com without the www. it also comes up fine.
This isn't a .Mac problem. You need to go to the place where you have your name and make sure the www CNAME is set to web.mac.com, or forward the short version of your name to the www version.

Personal domain and idisk

Hi, my question is, can i use the idisk to host my own personal website that is currently being hosted at another site, and use my own domain name? I am not using iweb but i do have idisk. I simply want to move my current website thats being hosted elsewhere to my idisk and use my personal domain.
Rob

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
can i use the idisk to host my own personal website that is currently being hosted at another site, and use my own domain name?
Yes. Just copy the folder and files that you put on the other server onto your iDisk in the Web/Sites folder. You should have an index.html file and a folder with the site files. Have your domain name provider point the name to "http://web.mac.com/your account name/". As long as there is only one site in that folder and one index.html file (outside of the site folder) that will do it.

Publishing iWeb site to .Mac personal domain

I set up Personal Domain on .Mac & added the cname on my account with Network Solutions & are waiting for the changes to take effect now. But I have 2 sites in iWeb. How do I get the right site on the personal domain.

Hi again,
My Problem is that it is not clear how to redirect mlwhall.com --> www.mlwhall.com
Since CNAME is for aliases, I am not sure how to point mlwhall.com since that is the root name. The A (host) will only take an IP address, so I assume that if I am going to do this I need to do it in the CNAME section (pinging did not get me a useable IP address). I cannot believe I am the only person that wants to do this -- setting up domain forwarding does not seem to work either
Is it not common for people to want to have www.blah.com and blah.com to resolve to the same place?
----Martin----
And yes -- I meant to say that I made a CNAME alias for www that points to web.mac.com as pointed out in the personal domain instructions.

Personal Domains and Multiple Sites

Hi, I've looked through several pages worth of questions but none of them seems to be exactly like what I want to get done.
First, I have 2 sites in iWeb. The second was created in iWeb '08 just because of the addition of the Personal Domain feature and so for the first time, I want a site that is hosted at Mac.com.
The first site is hosted elsewhere. I always publish to a folder and use an FTP software to upload it.
So, obviously, what I want to do is to use "Publish to .Mac" to upload my 2nd website ONLY to .Mac. But, iWeb seems to want to publish both. Even after I deleted the 1st website manually in iDisk, iWeb will publish a folder with the 1st website's name and throw in some content (like feed.xml, and "Media" and "Scripts" directories).
So, Question 1, can I make iWeb to stop this? Or, will have to create multiple Domain files and manage the 2 sites separately?
The other question is this. I just set up a CNAME thingy with Godaddy.
Let's say my domain is www.hogehoge.com.
I set the CNAME alias to web.mac.com.
In iWeb, I call the 2nd website "hogehoge" (just so I know which site it is). When iWeb publishes that site, everything goes inside
Web/Sites/hogehoge
And when I access the site at www.hogehoge.com, the index.html in Web/Sites
will redirect me to the index.html (or, since I currently only have the blog file, /blog/blog.html file) inside the hogehoge directory, so the address looks like
www.hogehoge.com/hogehoge/blog/blog.html
but that *****. I don't want the second "hogehoge". Is there any way to get rid of that?
Hope those questions were clear enough...

I've just started with multiple iWeb sites. While I still need to look at one of these utilities to manage multiple websites independently, I think I already figured out how to publish to multiple .Mac accounts from within my main user. The method below worked for me, although it published my entire set of sites, so yeah, still need to work around that.
Granted, having multiple users on your Mac, each associated with specific .Mac accounts would certainly work, and the cost is $0, but depending on where you keep files you need to access for each web site (like iphoto, itunes, etc), hopping between users could be a bit messy. I suppose you could store everything in the SHARED folder in the User directory, though.
THE METHOD
Assuming you have a utility to manage multiple iWeb sites (the two popular ones seem to be iWebsite (free) and Multisite (shareware), neither of which I've tried yet), I THINK another way you can publish to a specific .Mac account is simply to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES, click on the .Mac icon, and then SIGN OUT of your current .Mac account (do this right before you're ready to publish). You are then presented with a dialog to sign in to a different .Mac account ---> enter the access to the one you want to publish to. Now, when you hit 'Publish to .Mac' in iWeb, it defaults to THIS account and publishes it there. You just have to remember to go back into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and log back in to your original .Mac account when you're finished publishing.
The advantage to this, as I see it, is staying in my primary user and having access to all the files I need, as well as being able to switch to other apps and running programs in my primary account without issue.
Again, relatively new to iWeb, and I haven't played too much with this, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong ....

Help with personal domain and GoDaddy

I have created a website using iWeb.
I have added my personal domain to my .mac account
I have changed the www CNAME to point to web.mac.com (at GoDaddy)
If I enter www.mydomainname.com to takes me to my parked site.
If I enter mydomainname.com (without www)it takes me to my website.
Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it?

I have been trying for the last week and a half to put my iWeb on Godaddy and am having a terrible time. How did you do it???????? love, Mary
If you are still talking about uploading to Godaddy via FTP, please respond in your earlier thread.

.mac & personal domain, so which page first?

Ok, i will try to be as clear as possible here.
Anyone who used the old style of web forwarding willl know that in order to view one particular page first (opening page) you would normally publish your website and use the url of that one page to forward with your registrar...However, i am now using .mac to forward my personal domain, but i don't understand how i get one page to load first. For example i regularly have adverts for the site which i like to open first so everyone will see it before actually entering into the main site, but now using .mac it just opens one page...luckily for me its the main page. Does anyone know or understand what im saying here? Please help!! Rob
Oh yeah, by the way, if you want to look my address is
http://www.nelsonrfc.co.uk
I have also tried putting the page i want to open first at the top of the list and that doesnt work either...
Message was edited by: robbie190975

I was under the impression it was the top page in the site.
It should be whatever page is displayed first when you go to web.mac.com/username
I don't know if that helps, but it might give you a way to experiment.

.mac personal domain hosting

New user to .MAC and iLife '08
I've read all the posts about personal domain hosting on .mac, performed all the DNS changes with CNAME at GoDaddy and performed all the steps to add the domain at .Mac. Im still not getting the site to load/sync (instead I get the default page).
I have two .Mac accounts and wonder if this is confusing the sync.
I created the site synced it with my .mac account. It still appears as if under web.mac.com/mydomain/home.html
Since I followed the described proceedures in all the posts Im not sure where the disconnect is. Can anyone help me get my personal domain files to sync.

Could you start by providing your .Mac and your Godaddy urls? Also how long have you been waiting?

Personal Domain and typing site without "www"

I set up my personal domain through iWeb. Typing www.sitename.com works great, but if I leave the www off the address it points to a godaddy page where my name is registered. Is there another setting to change for this?

I am using namesecure.com.
Here is what my setup looks like:
A Name:
domain.com points to IP (IP set by namesecure.com)
CNAME
www.domain.com points to web.mac.com
I did not set up a CNAME for domain.com because namesecure.com will not allow for an empty CNAME.
What I did instead was set my URL forwarding to go to http://www.domain.com/ and set my IP forwarding to go to the IP given by my name server. IP forwarding is turned on.
So if someone goes to www.domain.com they are taken to web.mac.com and my personal domain shows up in the address bar. If someone goes to domain.com then the A Name IP sends them to ??? which then does a URL forward... I don't know how this is working but it is.
You can test my results here:

Personal Domain and GoDaddy How To

I saw the threads and think everyone is doing it the hard way. I too am with godaddy but godaddy uses a third party registrar. I don't remember the details on how i found the phone number, but somewhere on godaddy it tells you. Actually I think I just called godaddy and asked for registrar's phone number. Call the registrar and simply ask them to change CName to "web.mac.com". The guy said that he thought this wouldn't work but I said just do it because that's what Apple says to do. So he did and the next day it worked. (as it takes a day to go into effect) Piece of cake!

See if this helps ...
Greetings,
Along with the numerous complaints about the reliability of iWeb '08, many of us have also had trouble setting up .Mac to host our " personal domains". Godaddy has always made it easy to redirect sites to .Mac addresses and "mask" those sites. However ... some of the directions for using "unmasked" URL's on .Mac have been a bit confusing. After following many tips found in the Discussion Boards here I too had no success. I wrote GoDaddy and they quickly responded to my e-mail with the following simple reply which required only one change in ONE FIELD after setting up your personal domain with .Mac.
I've copied the steps sent by GoDaddy to find the field below (for those of us who are not so web savvy and have no idea what CNAMES, DNS, or XM RECORDS are or mean).
1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. From the Domain Names menu, select Manage Domains. The Domain Control Center opens.
3. In your list of domain names, click on the domain name that you want to view. The Details for the selected domain display.
4. Under the Total DNS Control section, click Manage Subdomains or Total DNS Control and MX Records. (Middle Column under NAME SERVERS)
5. Click the edit button next to the www CNAME
6. Follow the on screen directions from here to the change the points to host.
(You'll want to enter in the section for CNAMES ... the first line "WWW" ... Points to "@" ... change the "@" to "web.mac.com")
It took only seconds after making this change for my iWeb site to redirect to my personal domain at .Mac and for all my URL's to read properly.
Best of luck!

Personal Domains and the index file

Ok, I have a number of sites that I use through .mac, and now I have ONE of my sites that I want to use on a personal domain. When I set it to publish to a folder and put the address in, it will only do the FIRST of my sites, and it will only do it as a subdirectory, and not create it as the index file for the site.
Help!
Todd
PS Yes the CNAME has been changed for the site, so it is talking fine with iWeb.

When I set it to publish to a folder and put the address in,
The address is only to make sure your RSS feed is correct.
it will only do the FIRST of my sites, and it will only do it as a subdirectory, and not create it as the index file for the site.
I'm not sure what you think should happen, but iWeb normally publishes all your sites, each in its own folder with the same name as the site has inside the iWeb app. It will also publish one index.html file alongside those folders, and this goes with the topmost site inside iWeb.
Before publishing to a folder, make sure the site you intend to upload via ftp is topmost in the iWeb site organizer. After publishing, upload the index.html file plus the folder which has the name of that site.
