Multiple domains names and web sites with only one SLS and one static IP

I tried to find a post on this topic but I still can't find what needs to be done.
SLS is configured for one domain with one web site and it's working well. We will call it domain1.com. Here is the config:
Static IP: 69.x.x.x
DNS setting under Server Admin:
hostname: server.domain1.com
Two DNS entries under domain1.com with:
www - alias - server.domain1.com
server - Machine - 10.0.1.x (fixe IP for server on LAN)
Web settings under Server Admin:
server.domain1.com - 10.0.1.x - Port 80
Domain1.com is managed with DynDNS Custom DNS Service with 1 record:
domain1.com - A-record - 69.x.x.x
I want to host a second domain (for a website) called domain2.com. It's also registred at DynDNS and I have custom DNS setting to configure.
What's need to be done to have both domains with seperate web site on SLS under DNS and Web settings (beside the fact that I will have 2 different folders with the website files in it). I understand that I will need a new entry in the DNS for the new domain (domain2.com) and also an entry in the Web Service pane. But what are the details.
Thanks.

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?

  • Can you host multiple domain names on mobile me with iWeb '09?

    Hi
    Can anyone help, before I upgrade to iLife '09, I have a personal web domain name which I host on my mobileme account. My girlfriend now wants a website and I have bought her a domain name and want to use iWeb to design it but I can't seem to host multiple domains on iWeb '08, can you with iLife '09? Or will she have to buy her own mobile me account? Any help will be great!!!
    Thanks

    MobileMe -MME -is Apple's hosting service.
    Domain Name System - DNS translates an understandable address like www.mywebsite.com into the IP address which is a number like 40:75:92:301.
    Cname is a name of record in a database that records what domain name goes to what IP address.
    IP address is just a unique number that identifies any device connected to the internet.
    An FTP client is an application the uploads your files to a server using File Transfer Protocol.
    I mainly use Web Site Maestro because it doesn't just upload the files but optimizes them first to remove all the unnecessary code that iWeb creates to allow your website to download at least 30% faster.
    I also use Yummy FTP for sorting out and keeping track of my files on the server and uploading folders of images and music files along with their assets for flash presentations.
    I have used Host Excellence for years because of the way they allow you to name your own root folder on the server and also their great tech support.
    FTP and servers can be a bit confusing but, if you have a good hosting company, you can get by on very little knowledge and understanding. I do!
    I couldn't agree more with you about the acronyms and jargon. The more people use them usually means the less they know. One of the most misused words is "domain". I tried to sort that one out here...

  • 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

  • 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.

  • How to confiture virtual hosts with multiple domain names

    hello,
    I've read through some of the postings here on virtual hosts, but I thought I'd better solicit advice before I actually try some of the things I've read about.
    In a nutshell, I've purchased multiple domain names that I'd like to alias to a new site (currently it is just a subfolder in the main site directory) on my OS 10.3.x server. There is only the one main site configured right now on the box, so I know I need to set up a second "virtual site" pointing to the files in this subfolder to make it function as its own site.
    I've dabbled around with the sites settings in the GUI, but I'd probably be most comfortable setting all this up in the httpd.conf by hand if I could. But I'm weary of this because I know it might be better to use the GUI because of OS X Server's flavor of WebObjects and Apache (sigh).
    So, I have two main questions:
    1) How would I set up this second site using the GUI in server settings? Do I need to first move the subfolder out of the main folder before it can be designated its own site? Or can I just point to it in the GUI? Can I use one of my purchased domain names in the domain field?
    2) Currently, I have URL Forwarding set with my multiple domain names, but I'm thinking there might be a better way to do this? For SEO I'd rather use some type of redirect rather than being penalized by search engines for having what looks to be multiple domains pointing to the same site.I'm thinking I should create virtual sites for each domain name I've purchased with a hard redirect back to the main site?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    thank you for your reply.
    > You can create each site as a new Site in Server
    Admin. When you do this you can choose any
    directory on disk as the document root for each
    site.This means you can move the sites' folders out of
    /Library/WebServer/Documents if you like - you could
    create /Library/WebServer/site1,
    /Library/WebServer/site2, etc. (or even be outside of
    /Library/WebServer if you want).
    so, are you are saying that I could designate one site to be
    /Library/WebServer/Documents/site1
    and another to be
    /Library/WebServer/Documents/site1/directory1
    even though directory1 is contained within site1's structure? I'm not advancing this as a good idea, necessarily. I'm just wondering if Apache would complain.
    > Each site should have the domain name set as per your
    registered domains. Apache will need this to
    determine the correct site to serve for each
    request.
    Well, after some additional research I'm thinking I'm missing a critical piece of the puzzle. That being access to the DNS host server that manages the context of my server. I have purchased domain names through an outside registrar that point to my site and I can create virtual hosts on my server, but I don't have the ability to add the new virtual host names into the DNS server that manages my box. If that makes sense. Or maybe I'm missing something?
    >
    I'm not sure why you're using URL forwarding at all.
    Without that piece of information it's impossible to
    tell you whether you should continue using them or
    not - in general there's no need to use URL
    forwarding if you have multiple Virtual Hosts setup,
    but it sounds like you have multiple hostnames
    pointing to the same content, so your needs may be
    different.
    I'm using forwarding for the reason I list above. I didn't purchase hosting with the registrar where I purchased my domain names, so they are parked on the registrar's name server with URL forwarding to my server. The DNS server that manages my box resides in a different location and I don't have the ability to add DNS entries pointing to virtual hosts that I want to set up. Am I stuck?

  • My iPad won't let me stay on some games and web sites. It sends me back to my home page after I have only been on the site a few minutes. How can I fix this?

    My iPad won't let me stay on some games and web sites for more than a few minutes . It closes the site and takes me back to home screen. Why and how do I fix this?

    For Safari you could try clearing its cache and history via Settings > Safari.
    For Safari and your other apps you could close them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Same IP address and multiple domain names

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to have multiple domain names sharing the same IP address? For example, I want www.mydomain1.com, www.mydomain2.com, and www.mydomain3.com to share the same IP. Thanks.
    Mike Lam

    Thanks JavaApplet,
    but I'm still having the same problem,
    I have typed
    in both server.xml and apps-abc.xml and apps-123.xml:
    In server.xml:
    <Host Name= "www.abc.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
    <Context path="/abc" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\abc" ...>
    </Context>
    </Host>
    <Host Name= "www.123.com.sg" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
    <Context path="/123" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\123" ...>
    </Context>
    </Host>
    So in apps-abc.xml:
    <Host Name= "www.abc.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
    <Context path="/abc" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\abc" ...>
    </Context>
    </Host>
    So in apps-123.xml:
    <Host Name= "www.123.com.sg" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
    <Context path="/123" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\123" ...>
    </Context>
    </Host>
    but how come, the www.123.com.sg still doesn't work, it kept displaying the page cannot be found. It's very funny because if I typed www.abc.com/123/index.jsp, surprisingly the page can be displayed.
    This is a very tough problem for me and I have spent a long time troubleshooting this problem.
    Hope that some advice can be given ... thank a million

  • Multiple domain names for iWeb on .mac account

    I've managed to get the iWeb site I created uploaded onto a domain name i created (eg www.abc123.com). I had to change the domain name on my .mac account. The thing is it only allows you to enter 1 domain name. Now I have purchased 3 domain names, one for myself, one for my business and one for my mothers business. Is there a way round this because at the moment I can't get round it. Thanks.

    Hi Ben,
    If using .Mac hosting and other hostings as well you can have multiple domains pointed to different sites so that each site will have yourdomain.com. However on .Mac you can have only one CNAME, the other personal domains should be WebForward or WebForward with cloaking.
    - WebForward: after you typed yourdomain.com in the browser you get forwarded to web.mac.com/username/ and web.mac.com/username/ will display in the browser
    - WebForward with Cloaking (also called masking): after you typed yourdomain.com in the browser yourdomain.com will display in the browser and don't change while people browse through your website
    - CNAME yourdomain.com will display instead of web.mac.com/username/ and while browsing through your website it will look like yourdomain.com/sitename/nameofpagepeoplelookatnow.html
    If you're using Godaddy this is how to setup WebForwarding

  • Using Multiple Domain Names to Access Our Portal

    We operate one domain corp.company.com but all internal intranet web servers get  assigned the address inside.ZZZ. The inside.ZZZ is on our IE exclusion list but company.com is not. Adding company.com seems to be a miserable task so we are looking at adding an alias so our users can access the server at the new inside.ZZZ url. We have DNS pointing the URL to the right server and that seems to be working properly.
    Something within the application is redirecting the page to gnwhepdev.corp. company .com (our server’s domain address) after the initial login.  Since *.corp. company .com is not in the exclusion list, it is considered an outside address and rerouted.  We are trying to find some way to pass the alias within the  application itself so that we don’t need *.corp. company .com in the exclusion list and we can point users to the inside.ZZZ url.
    Our team researched this issue and found documentation that supported the use of multiple domain names to access a Enterprise Portal.  The documentation that we found is below:
    How To…Configure the J2EE Engine Deployment Descriptor (Version 1.00 – July 2004)
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0eb8120-b66c-2910-5795-894f384fc054
    Particularly on page 13-15 in the documentation it talks about enabling the portal via multiple domain names (Section 3.7:  Using Multiple Domain Names to Access the Portal).  Also, the documentation says the following:
         You must have sever proxy servers, each with a different domain name.  You then activate the filter mechanism and configure it to work with several proxy servers
    We have several questions about the possiblities of being able to set this up and whether it would require another server where Web Dispatcher would need to be installed for this configuration to work properly.  Can someone please provide some insight into what needs to be configured and answer the question about the Web Dispatcher?  Also, if Web Dispatcher is required, what steps need to be done to configure?  If Web Dispatcher is not needed, what will we need to do apart from that to set this up for our Enterprise Portal system?

    It is but you have to use masking......

  • Multiple domain names

    Can you have multiple domain names for your website? I
    thought that you could, but I don't know how to use dreamweaver do
    this. I'm using a host that has both of my domain names, and they
    use the same login and password. I wonder if this is the problem?
    My second domain name has it's own manage site folder in
    Dreamweaver, but it brings up the information from my first site
    (same login and password).
    Any help here? Thank you.

    > but I don't know how to use dreamweaver do this
    You don't. You ask your host to set an alias for alternate
    domain names.
    For example, my domain,
    http://www.great-web-sights.com
    also has this domain
    set as an alias -
    http://www.great-web-sites.com.
    As another example, this
    client's domain -
    http://www.squarewheelindustries.com
    - also has this
    domain as an alias -
    http://www.trailertester.com.

  • Multiple domains pointing to 1 site

    Hi..
    If I add multiple domain names to a BC site, just using the "New Domain", does the system handle it in such a way that its not regarded as duplicate content? There is 1 default domain, so how are the rest of the domains treated if added, ie does it use 301 redirects so as to avoid the possibility being penalized by Google?
    If this is not the way to do it, can anyone explain how to deal with this, as there is nothing in the knowledge base on how to go about it.....

    Hi Liam,
    Couple of things...
    "You have google indexing multiple domains. If those domains contain the same content - Duplicate Content." 
    That's clear - thanks.
    "You say 301 redirects so I am gathering there are multiple domains to point to one set of content. "
    Yes, the client has bought a few different domain names, all which they want pointing to the same website. (Bad practice huh?)
    "Was it an attempt to improve SEO"
    Yes, seems everyone is a self professed SEO expert these days!
    Anyway, what is the best/simplest way to deal with this type of thing?

  • Update web site with changes

    I just made changes to our menu (created in fireworks) How do
    I update my web site with the new menu? (please do not flame me for
    stupidity :-) )

    Your .png has the same buttons at the Web site, what is it
    you changed?
    I looked at the code and...I'm sorry to tell you this, but
    it's a mess. From line 7 through line 787, comment tags are opened
    but not closed. 780 lines of improperly coded nothing? Some
    standard Dreamweaver code is commented out from 788 to 847, and
    again at 1747 after a few more hundred lines of open-but-not-closed
    comment tags and blank lines, and again at 3579.... After each
    block of commented out code is some kind of menu stuff, but
    probably only the last block is functional. Looks like there's some
    external JavaScript code for your menus from 2002.
    For divs, ids should be defined only once, but id LAYER2 is
    defined twice (lines 3787 and 4021), id LAYER4 is defined 3 times
    (lines 3803, 4032, and 4035), and id LAYER6 is defined twice (lines
    4019 and 4030).
    Have you tried viewing the site in Firefox? In 2.0, I get the
    buttons and the footer and that's it. No header, no Flash elements,
    and no background behind the buttons. Hmm. I wonder if it's because
    the flash is in an embed tag rather than an object tag? I don't use
    Flash, so someone else will have to help you with that. In IE7,
    even though I know there are some other menu links somewhere
    (Admissions, Curriculum, Student Activities, Faculty and Staff,
    Counseling, Cafeteria, Safety Pledge, Directions) I can't get them
    to display. Perhaps that 5-year-old JavaScript code is not
    compatible with current browsers.
    If I were you, I'd take this step-by-step, dissect what this
    page is
    supposed to do, and rebuild it from scratch in a way that
    will work with current browsers. This one doesn't. I know that
    sounds like a lot of work, but I think it would be
    more work to straighten out
    this page.
    Good luck!

  • IWeb 09 and web site on MobileMe...

    Hi !
    I hope that somebody will be able to tell me how to resolve this issue...
    I did reinstall from scratch my MacBookPro and install iLife '11. I didn't use Time Machine to restore backups but choose to reinstall all the softwares that I have. All my documents backup are on my iDisk on MobileMe.
    I did publish a web site with iWeb' 09 at www.marcmartineau.com .
    Now, it's time to update this site. There is NO WAy I can open this site with iWeb'11 as it asks me all the time to create a new site or a new page.
    Do you know how I can open my old published site with iWeb'11 ?
    I just hope that I'm clear with my question... As english is not my native language...
    THanks everybody for your help !
    Marc

    Firstly, it is still iWeb 09 that you are using - it is iLife 11, but iWeb was not updated so it is still 09 that you are using.
    You did make a backup of your site if you have a published site. iWeb will not be able to open a site that has already been published as it has no import facility for html.
    If you don't have a backup of your domain.sites files found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites, then there is nothing you can do except re-build your site from scratch.
    Remember the importance of backing up your domain.sites file next time.

  • Why does the new version 5 of firefox show up all the graphics on web sites with a huge wide black border?

    Why does the new version 5 of firefox show up all the graphics on my web sites with a huge wide black border? They should be narrow and yellow!! I use iWeb for my web sites on an AppleMac iMac 22" wide screen.

    That is unfortunately a bug only in Firefox 5 and will be fixed in Firefox 6 (Aug).
