Move my iWeb site somewhere else

Since the end of mobileme, my website has stopped working. How can i make it work again?
Can you try and explain it in the simplest steps as possible please!
Thanks

iWeb has two options for publishing your website..
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
Here's some info about what to look for when choosing hosting...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
If you had a domain name for you site on MobileMe you need to contact your registrar to get it to point to the new location of your files.
If you don't have a domain name, most hosting services will provide a free registration.
Once you have published your site to the new server, make sure you redo the SEO...

Movies in iWeb site do not play on windows PC

I published a site to a folder and copied that site to a PC. The movies in that site/folder worked fine using the Mac but after I moved it to the PC all I get is the quicktime question mark when I select a movie. However, before the question mark appears I briefly get a flash of the video's first frame. The movies are in the media folder on the PC and I have installed the most recent version of Quicktime. One odd thing is that from the media folder if I double click the movie it starts iTunes. Any help is appreciated.

How do I move my iweb site to another account?

I have built my wife a web site on my computer on my .mac account using iweb. But I want to move it over to my wife's .mac account on her computer. Essentially to have it live on her computer and not mine. How do I do this? HELP!
Thanks a million.

All the information for iWeb is stored under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb and then it is the domain.sites file that you want.
If you want to manage your site on another computer, then you need to copy this file. Make sure that you don't delete this file. If you do, you have lost your website and will have to re-build as iWeb cannot import anything from your published site on iDisk.
Copy this file over and then as Mireille said, you can create another user account on your wife's machine if you need to under System Preferences Accounts.
If it is your wife's machine however, then you won't need another account. All you do is place the copy of the domain.sites file in the same place on her computer i.e. User/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Then all you need to do is log into her .Mac account on her computer. Just go to System Preferences and .Mac and enter her .Mac account details and it will be logged into her account. When you then publish, it will publish to her .Mac account on her computer.

Move my iWeb site from my G5 to my MacBook

I just got a new MacBook and I want to move my website from my G5 desktop to my MacBook so I can make changes from anywhere. I cant figure out how to get on the MacBook so I can edit it in iweb from my laptop.
Thanks for any help you all can give.

Copy this file to an external drive and place your copy in the same path on your new MacBook. iWeb will then open it and you can continue working on your site.
You will need to launch & Quit iWeb once to create the whole of this path, the /iWeb folder doesn't exist until you do. This will also create your iWeb prefs file, some would suggest copying this accross too, your choice, but I dont!

Mp3s converting to mov when iweb site published

I am so frustrated! I used to be able to drag in a tune from itunes, publish it on iweb and I'd be able to play it no probs on a Windows PC at my place of work. Now, every time I publish, the mp3s are somehow being changed to mov files and I can't play them on my mac or PC. What am I doing wrong???

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. MP3 files have been presented as QT movie files for a long time in iWeb. What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
You can use flash players to play the audio tracks which will be PC compatible. This demo page has several types: Audio Players.
Some "showy" fun mouse rollover players are on this demo page: More Audio
For a more complete array of players visit http://www.iwebformusicians.com. Definitely worth a visit.

Move my Iweb site in two Macs

Hi,
I've two Macs, i would copy my Sites in both Macs.
It's Possible ?
And in which way ?
Thanks Fabio

Are you looking in the correct Library folder? The one you want is:
Click to view full size
If you still don't have an iWeb folder then you've never run iiWeb on that computer.
Another method you can use is to download Find Any File and use it to search for "domain.site". FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't, even invisible folders.
In Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

I'm trying to move my iWeb site to a new computer

Going from a Mini running Snow Leopard to a MacBook Pro running Lion. Both are running iWeb 3.0.4. I moved Domain.sites2 over, but the MacBook says it can't open the file. I have a site set up for FTP syncing that uses some passwords - don't know if that is an issue.
1. Is there something about iWeb on Lion that could cause this?
2. Is there a way to pull the site from the internet over FTP using iWeb? I've gotten some of the pages using wget but don't see how to put those together in iWeb.
Thanks!

[Not Possible] Move ~/.config/Trolltech.conf somewhere else?

Is there an environment variable or something similar I can set to move the QT configuration file? I'd like to move it to `~/.config/QT/Trolltech.conf` (or even better `~/.config/QT/config.conf`)
Last edited by EvanPurkhiser (2014-04-30 08:53:36)

Depending on what your intentions are, another option would be to create a symbolic link:
$ mv ~/.config/Trolltech.conf ~/.config/QT/config.conf
$ ln -s ~/.config/QT/config.conf ~/.config/Trolltech.conf
Of course the original file will still be there in the form of a symbolic link, but if all you want to do is give it a more understandable name then it might help. I myself can never remember that the configuration file for Qt is called "Trolltech.conf".
...By the way, "config.conf" is a terrible name for a file, right up there with "text.txt", "document.doc", and "jpg.jpg".

Merge iweb sites from multiple user accounts on same computer

With the previous iweb version, my children created their own iweb sites on their own users, but all under my own .mac account. It worked great.
But now with the new "upgraded" iweb '08, that isn't allowed anymore.
So, I created a new user on our computer for all of us to use to maintain our multiple iweb accounts on.
How can I move multiple iweb sites from multiple users on the same computer into one user?

Each of the user's work in iWeb will be contained in a single file, Domain.sites2, which can be found in this location on the hard drive for each user account. You will need to copy all of these Domain.sites2 files to an external drive, or, at the very least, burn them to a disk to make them transferable from one user account to another. A flash drive also works great for this.
Once you have made all of these Domain files accessible from the new user account that you created, you will still have a formidable task ahead of you, i.e., publishing separate sites, from separate Domain.sites2 files, to the same .Mac account/directory. In other words, bringing all of these Domain files together for access by a single user account will not solve the problem. You may very well be able to solve the problem with things the way they are, but it will involve some shuffling of Site's files on the iDisk prior to publishing.
The method I'm going to give you has worked well for me. So far, here in the forums, I've read posts from (2) other users who were also successful. Conversely, I know of at least (3) other users who have been unsuccessful with this approach. I sure hope it works for you.
Open System Preferences and go to .Mac. Turn syncing off, if it is on, and leave it off.
Now, in Finder, navigate to the current Site files on your iDisk, following this path:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/NameOfSiteFolder
Drag the Site folder that is named for your site, (not the directory Site folder), back one level on the iDisk, into the Web folder. This is where some run into difficulties--you may get an error message that the folder is "in use, and cannot be moved". I have never gotten this message, and am able to move my Site's folders around with no problem on the iDisk.
If you are successful moving the folder, choose one of your other accounts on your machine, launch iWeb, and Publish all to .Mac. The existing site on the server will not be deleted. Now, go back to the iDisk and move that site folder, (the one you just published), back one level, again, to the root Web directory. Publish your next site, from your next account.
When you are finished publishing sites, just move the Site folders back to their original location on the iDisk--Web/Sites/SiteFoldersHere. All sites will be accessible from a browser using the web.mac.com/username/nameofsite url.
It is important to use the Publish all to .Mac command in iWeb. A simple Publish to .Mac command will not put the correct index.html file in place on the server.
Post back and inform us of your success.

Moving my iweb site to another mac

Is it possible to move my iweb site from one mac to another? If so how do I do it?
Thanks,
Mike

Lucy,
iWebSites is a beta application capable of merging separate Domain files. It gets good reviews in this forum.
You will not overwrite one Domain file with another unless you intentionally replace a Domain file with another, just like any like-named file. Keep your Domain files in their own folders, folders that are named for the sites the respective Domain files contain. Open the Domain file/Site of your choice by first opening it's folder and then double-clicking on the Domain file inside.

How to transfer iWeb site to another Mac in Lion

Does anyone know how I can move my iWeb site from my Macbook Pro to my iMac. I've transfered the files, but iWeb doesn't see the data. I've copied the data to the iWeb folder in my User Library thinking that would help as I've read others have done in Snow Leopard. This doesn't seem to work in Lion. thanks for the help. I'm using iLife 11

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Hosting My Iweb-site

I'm a newbie, so please forgive me. I'm attempting to publish some pages with informational stuff, hopefully to gain some click-revenue from running ads. I've found that my pages run fairly slow uploading to my visitors. I've been thinking about hosting my site somewhere else than .mac. Does anyone have a suggestions on how and where would be a good place to host from? or any suggestions on how to speed the upload of my pages up? I do not know much about hosting else where or really publishing much at all any help would be great.
Thanks

IWeb - Moving iweb site from one mac to another mac.

Hi,
I am using iWeb 08 and would like to move the iWeb site that was created on one mac to another mac to continue editing on the other mac. Any one now how to do this.
Thanks
tsofa

Hi Tsofa,
You need to locate and copy the Domain.site2 file which iWeb creates.
By default this is usually located in User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
You can copy this to any location on the other mac. As long as you use this file to start iWeb, it will recognise it as your default.
If you want to create a new one, but still keep the old, just rename the file and start iWeb, which will generate a new Domain.sites2 file
