Multiple Sites w/ GoDaddy Host

I created a website with iWeb, bought a domain name and hosting space from GoDaddy, published the site to a folder and uploaded it to GoDaddy with Fetch. Everything worked fine. I created another user account on my computer as a way to create another website with iWeb and keep it separate from the first one (a suggestion I got on these boards, by the way), created my site, bought another domain name from GoDaddy for that site, and now I want to upload it to my GoDaddy hosting space (the hosting account I got allows you to upload many sites to it if you want to). My concern is that when you upload the site that iWeb created from the published folder, you upload the index.html file and the folder iWeb created with the files for your site. iWeb always creates an index.html file for each web site. So there is already a file in my hosting space called index.html. When I upload the second site, is that going to somehow confuse or mess up the first one?

When you go to godaddy.com and click on the link that tells you about their various hosting plans, they have a comparison of plan features. They have Economy, Deluxe, & Premium. The last two allow Unlimited Sites and describe this as "Multiple Websites may be hosted within a single hosting account sharing the same disk space and bandwidth quotas."
I have one site up there under a domain name, so there is an index.html file and a folder with all the other files for that site. I bought another domain name for my second site, but I'm not sure yet how they will be differentiated when they are sharing the same disk space. My concern is that when I upload the second site, it too will have an index.html file that needs to go up, and will that overwrite the first one already up there and mess up that first site?
This is my first time using a program like iWeb to make a site. In the past (and that was a long time ago) I wrote my own html from scratch, and had control over what I named that first page that pointed to all the others.

Uploading iWeb site to godaddy host

Greetings,
I am trying to publish one of my iWeb generate sites to a godaddy account. When I publish to a folder it publishes all of my sites to the folder - I am just interested in this one site. So I move that site folder out of the published folder and attempt to upload it and haven't had any success.
Also, I have tried several FTP clients, fetch, filezilla, fireftp and the go daddy on line ftp client(limited to 4 mg which is okay right now).
I can't upload anything and can't figure out where my problem is - these clients seem fairly straight forward.
Thanks

Thanks for the responses. I think my problem is related to the cable modem. I had some problems with my vonage VOIP and the vonage tech person said there was an issue with that particular modem. Comcast says there are no problems on their end but I am suspicious. Anyway, I don't seem to have any other issues. I e-mailed my published files to my home computer also with comcast and was able to upload the files through fireftp first try. I then had to take/move the pages out of the folder using fireftp and place them in the general part of the HTML godaddy folder - up and running.
How do I do or track down these issues with my cable modem at my office(btw 1 computer and two voip lines). I've tried running the ethernet directly to the computer bypassing the voip stuff with no joy.
Thanks for the help

Noob needs help with hosting multiple sites

Hello I am new to this multi hosting. I have looked on the forum for answers but haven't found any. I am trying to figure out how to host multiple sites. I have my dns working for my default site "example1.com", but need to know if I need to add another dns record for my second site. "example2.com". Also when I point to the new fold that has the second site in it and I assign it port 82 for testing purposes I get an error message saying 403 access forbidden. I need to find out how get permission to view the site for the public. Its in a separate folder on an external hard drive right now for testing purposes. Can any body help me or point me in the right direction? Thanks so much!!!

I beg to differ, Paul. You are the one that is not correct.
CNAMES have been deprecated as of some years ago
What? huh? really?
Please show me any official document that states this (and not someone who just started a rumor because he didn't understand them). Indeed, the DNS RFC makes no such claim.
{quote}
I stand very much corrected. CNAMEs are not officially deprecated. Interestingly, your post cites precisely what happens when CNAMES used carelessly. How many transactions are needed to resolve Apple's CNAME chain below? RFC1912 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1912.html) has some recommendations that suggests Apple's own network folks have, like me and perhaps even others here, some learning to do. Is that a 'best practice?'
{quote}> Then make sure you tell Apple since this site depends on the use of CNAMEs:
dig discussions.apple.com
discussions.apple.com. 492 IN CNAME discussions.apple.com.edgesuite.net.
discussions.apple.com.edgesuite.net. 4427 IN CNAME a1399.b.akamai.net.
a1399.b.akamai.net. 2 IN A 128.241.220.82
a1399.b.akamai.net. 2 IN A 128.241.220.72
In fact, it uses TWO CNAMES in a chain. Oh my.{quote}
From RFC1912 (which I'm sure many have now read here), section 2.4 is as follows:
{quote}... having chained records such as CNAMEs pointing to CNAMEs may
make administration issues easier, but is known to tickle bugs in
some resolvers that fail to check loops correctly. As a result some
hosts may not be able to resolve such names.{quote}
{quote}> It is not valid to say "don't use these because they could cause problems'. A records can be just as problematic, as can PTRs. Let's not even talk about MX.{quote}
How, exactly, does is an A record problematic? No chains, no additional lookups, no wasted cycles...
We differ here -- and if we are dealing with a newbie, we don't need to enter into unnecessary complexity UNTIL it is a requirement for their solutions.
{quote}> There are many valid reasons to use CNAMEs in DNS, not least of which is the ease of moving a service if it uses CNAMEs. For example, if you have 10 A records all pointing at the same server and you want to migrate to a different machine you have to locate and update all 10 records. If they used a CNAME to the physical server you could move them all at once using a single change. This is especially important in cross-domain links where you may not control all the origin zone files.
{quote}
You're somewhat reaching here, and it is well beyond the scope of the OP's post or needs (well, until they tell us more about their needs, I suppose). There is nothing difficult about 'finding' and updating the necessary records. The final example you gave is a good one and I'll say THAT is an appropriate use of a CNAME, 'though there are other workarounds for it.
Thanks for keeping me honest.

Setup ACE probe for HTTP host headers for multiple sites on rservers

We have multiple sites on each server. Is there a way to have the probe only stop traffic to a specific site or header and not take the complete rserver offline?
Thanks
Greg

If you are running multiple web servers on same servers using same IP addresse on the server. Then Host header field differentiate these web instances on the same physical machine.
Use header command under http probe definition to send appropriate HOST value with probe rquest
e.g
probe http site1
interval 2
faildetect 1000
passdetect interval 2
passdetect count 1
header Host header-value "www.site1.com"
expect status 200 200
probe http site2
interval 2
faildetect 1000
passdetect interval 2
passdetect count 1
header Host header-value "www.site2.com"
expect status 200 200

Periodic drop of connection to GoDaddy-hosted sites

For the past month or so, I occasionally lose access to any of my sites hosted at GoDaddy. I can connect to any other site, can ping other sites, etc. I can get to the server via IP, but not URL. And then, just as suddenly, I can pull up the site again. It seems to be happening with increasing frequency (four times today, happening right now). I've switched DNS servers from the Verizon ones to DynDNS to Google's, and no luck (and like I said, I can still go to other sites on the Internet.) When I check with http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ the server is still up and going (testing with the URL, not the IP address). Anyone else experiencing anything similar with GoDaddy? Or have any ideas. I've tried rebooting the router when it happens, but that doesn't resolve it.
Halllp

#1 Did you trace route to the GoDaddy-hosted site(s)?
#2 If not, please do and show us the results.
This means for example if on Windows XP,
a) Go to Start -> Run.
b) Type in cmd and press enter.
c) In the new window type in tracert google.com and press enter.

My GoDaddy hosted, iweb created web site will not open flash

Hello,
I'll try to be thorough:
I created a site with iWeb - It is band site.
I uploaded/published the site to godaddy.com, along with my URL www.momsgreatweed.com
If I access the URL from the Mac on which I created the site, it works fine, in SAFARI only (not firefox) even after having emptied the cache.
On all other computers (Mac and PC) I cannot open the "Tunes" page, which has a flash player and 10 mp3 files.
I receive the following error:
To view this page, you must log into area "me.com" on idisk.mac.com:80
Needless to say, this is making me slightly insane. I can't possibly be the only person to ever experience this issue. I did call GoDaddy "tech support"; but a 30 minute call turned out to be useless.
Please, before I pull my hair out...any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Be well,

You pasted the code in the HTML Snippet.
Upon further inspection I noticed the links to the tunes are wrong too :

Managing multiple sites in different iWeb versions - PLEASE HELP!

apnewbie/cyclosaurus/roddy/old toad (and any others more knowledgeable than i):
i've run into a bit of a pickle. i am hoping someone can help straighten me out. i am about to jump out of a window. here's the rundown:
(for starters, i have a .mac account and am publishing to .mac.) i created a site in iWeb 1.1.2 on my work computer (mac book pro). worked great, really lovely. thought to myself, "hey, i'd like to create another site from home, but i don't have iWeb at home (powerbook G4) - i should buy iLife 08 so i can build these things from home and not have personal files on my work computer."
so: i had a site that i created within 1.1.2 with files written to iDisk. i purchased iWeb 08 and would like to have another site, but this one is being created in 2.0. i also am using a personal domain name this time around bought with google apps and hosted by godaddy. i published the new work in progress for a test run and...you guessed it...my original 1.1.2 site was rewritten by the 2.0 site. and the 2.0 site comes up as the standard google search page for domains that aren't up and running. whooopsie.
sorry for the lengthy intro, but that's the background. i guess my specific questions are:
1) i want to be able to maintain multiple sites from iWeb 2.0...can i open my 1.1.2 domain file in 2.0 and successfully bring that site into 2.0?
2) what is the most efficient and easiest way to get both of these sites running in 2.0? right now i have two domain files (created on two different computers).
3) for domain management, is it best to move from the iWeb folder in my home library to different folders (one for each site, with separate domain files, and my 2.0 domain file is NOT called domain, it's the name of the site) to another location? (and of course, i will back these up just in case.) and when i want to update a site, i just open that individual domain file, right? or will these sites publish over each other?
please help. i am at my wits end. i'm sure this is a relatviely simple issue, but i'm new to iWeb.
thanks, thanks, thanks for your help guys.

joojy,
Welcome to the forums!
First of all, your original 1.1.2 site may not, in fact, have been overwritten. It is quite possible that the site remains in it's position on the iDisk, Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSite, but because you published to the iDisk (.Mac) from 2.0, a different index.html file has been placed in the root level Web directory which is causing the 404 error. Navigate to the directory on the iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder, and look to see what is actually there. Follow this path:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSiteWillBeHereIfYourLuckIsGood
If your site is there, great; if it isn't, it's not really a problem because hopefully you still have the Domain.sites file on the MacBook Pro and you can republish it if necessary. If it is there, you can modify the index.html file on the iDisk using a text editor and get your url redirected back to where it should be.
Second, do not open your 1.1.2 Domain.sites file with 2.0 until you have a backup of this Domain file. External drives are best for this. Assuming the backup is in place, launch 2.0, choose the Domain.sites file, and click on "update". It will be updated to a Domain.sites2 file. If the site looks ok then continue on with editing/publishing.
Skipping to question (3), by all means, abandon the default location of the Domain.sites file in the Home folder's Library and get accustomed to keeping your Domain files in their own, respective folders. When you want to open one just double-click it.
You are going to encounter difficulties publishing multiple sites in 2.0.2, unless you keep all of the sites in a single Domain file. 2.0 is publishing to a different directory on the iDisk than 1.0; it publishes to /Web/Sites/, as opposed to /Web/Sites/iWeb/. Publishing a site from a separate Domain file erases previously published sites. I have been able to publish multiple sites, from multiple Domain.sites2 files, by mounting the iDisk and actually moving the Site folder back one level, into the root Web folder, and then publishing. When finished, I move it back again. If you have RSS feeds you will probably get a 'file in use' error. The alternative, (other than keeping all sites in a single Domain), is to publish the site to a folder and then manually drop the Site folder into the Web/Sites/ directory on the iDisk. Of course, some .Mac functions are lost when publishing this way.
Work through this info and post back.

Multiple Sites, Multiple Domains, one .mac account?

So, is this possible? Can you create multiple sites in iWeb, save them to a .mac account, and then purchase domain names for each of those sites and have one assigned to each? I'm assuming no, but I'm seeing if someone knows how or someone has some workaround to keep it on .mac, but have multiple domain names for my sites?
Thanks!!

So, is this possible?
No.
Can you create multiple sites in iWeb, save them to a .mac account, and then purchase domain names for each of those sites and have one assigned to each?
Yes and no. While .Mac does offer Domain name hosting in the form of a CNAME alias, only one Domain name is available per .Mac account. .Mac is not a registrar for multiple Domains. You can host multiple sites on your .Mac account, but if you desire a 'Domain name' for each site, you will need to purchase the Domains from a registrar like Yahoo, GoDaddy, 1&1, etc, and then forward these Domains to the appropriate sites, hosted on your .Mac account.
I'm assuming no, but I'm seeing if someone knows how or someone has some workaround to keep it on .mac, but have multiple domain names for my sites?
The "workaround" would be to utilize Domain forwarding from a Domain name registrar, using the .Mac urls for the forwarding address(es).

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 ....

Multiple sites (w/o using iWebsites)

I'd like to use iWeb to publish multiple sites. I've already created one site, and would like to add one or two more. (Incidentally, I'm using Godaddy, not MMe, to host).
I've found the question asked and answered using iwebsites.
I'm wondering, is there a simple way to publish multiple sites w/o using a 3rd party app? I imagine I could just create several domain files, one for each site, and segregate them like that. However, I'm concerned about messing things up, so i figured I'd ask for precise instructions from the wise and helpful group.
Without using iWebsites, what would be the steps to create additional sites in separate domain files, and what would be the best way to organize and work with them?
Thanks!

While all this is well and good isn't it rather a pain? I continue to renew MobileMe, not because it is a better web hosting service, but out of sheer convenience. Updating a site can take only a few seconds with the help of the "publish" button.
I honestly expected publishing to Godaddy to be much more difficult than it was. I got up and running almost immediately, and the benefits of hosting my site outside the aegis of MMe is worth it to give up the one-click convenience. From what I can tell lurking in this forum, I would find some of the restrictions and workarounds dealing with MMe more of a pain than hosting elsewhere. I realize some people's needs might be better met by MMe, but mine are better met with Godaddy.
And now that I've gotten one site up and running, I need to make another! (And don't want to mess up the first).
You can create multiple sites from within iWeb. In the file menu select "New site." If you using domain forwarding you should be able to direct users to this new site and keep it separate from your other site. All these sites would be on the same server and be updateable with one click.
I'd prefer to keep different projects in different documents rather than cultivate a multi-headed hydra of a domain file. I'm not sure I'd want to update everything with one click! With Godaddy, my URLs and page titles are standard, I can poke around in the published folder and tweak HTML, and my site searched high when I googled it 2 days after publishing.
I have three different sites going, one for our church using domain forwarding, and two that I use and direct users to by sending them the longer address. (I am cheap... I don't want to buy another domain.)
The important thing is it works for you!
I have a MMe account and plan to use it for a future site I'll create in iWeb. But for my current sites, I'd rather use a 3rd party.

Multi-sites on GoDaddy

First time poster, very new with a lot of this- but I have a
problem I just can't seem to figure out. I'll try to be as clear as
I can....
I have my hosting with GoDaddy. I have multiple domains under
one hosting plan, in which the primary domain we will refer to as
'MASTER.COM", and the other domains will be referred to as "OTHER
1.com" and "OTHER 2.com". Both of the 'OTHER.com' domains are set
up in GoDaddy with the directory names of "/other1" and "/other2".
So, in Dreamweaver, when connecting to any of the
OTHER.com's, I just go to my MASTER.com path and find the folders
for "OTHER 1" and "OTHER 2". I then build pages within these
folders and put them to the remote and everything works just fine.
Except.....
When I tried adding a flash file to one of the OTHER.com
sites, it just will not work. I have tried adding the same flash
file to the MASTER.com pages and it ALWAYS works. But anytime I try
to add it to the OTHER.com pages- NOTHING! I mean, when I look at
the page in dreamweaver- either from the local or remote directory-
the flash file (the big grey rectangle) shows up. But on the actual
net, it doesn't. I spoke with the guys from godaddy for almost 2
hours and nothing!
ANyone have a clue???
Thanks in advance for any help.

Don't use that workflow.
First- Is this the set up?
You have a "master" domain.
You can also set up other domains. Those other domains are
visible as
folders in the master domain.
Don't work on those sites from within the master site
definition.
Create a site definition for each of them, with the local
site folder
defined to their folder, and use the "host directory" line in
the remote
server info to specify that domain's folder.
reasons to do this:
As you found out with the flash insertion, when working in
the other domain
from the master site, the site root is wrong. The flash
insert created a
"Scripts" folder in the root of the site. It's in the root of
the "master"
site, not within this other site. Will also cause problems is
you try to use
Site Root relative paths in these pages.
also- you may try to link to a page in one of the other sites
or in the
master site as a relative path. Dw would let you but the link
would never
work on the published page. To link to a different domain
(even if hosted in
a subfolder of a master site) you have use a full absolute
url path with
http://
Alan

what is this. Although you may tweak successfully to include
multiple domains in one hosting and that's just for someone who
wants nothing more than a static website. In the long run, as you
try adding more contents with database tables connection it will
gradually pop up errors , so it is not recommended. Unless you're

Question re: what files & folders to upload to godaddy hosting account

I created a small website in a local folder named "lovecake." Inside are three folders named images, pages, and lightbox_assets. I have a hosting account with godaddy that allows me to have multiple sites. I have three sites on there now. The first one I uploaded before I upgraded my space so that I could have more than one site, so it is not in a separate folder. The other two are in named folders they call directories. I need to upload this site into a folder(directory) named "alina" that I created for the domain name of livelovecake.net. I plan to upload with Fetch, which I have used before rather than trying to use DW to upload because I have to make sure that I upload my sites into separate folders which I know how to do with Fetch, but am not sure how I would do it with DW. Do I need to upload the whole folder on my computer named "lovecake" with its contents into the "alina" folder, or do I just upload the folders inside "lovecake," eg., images, pages, and lightbox_assets? Will there be a problem because the folder on my computer and the folder on my godaddy hosting account have different names? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good to hear you figured it out, sedona. Just a quick thought: Do you know about Dreamweaver's Synchronize command (Site > Synchronize Sitewide)? If not, it might be worth reading up on. Now that your site is uploaded, it can be tricky to remember what files have been modified, added, etc., once you start updating pages, making changes, and so on.

Thanks Geoff for the tip. I will read up on it. The site I just made is very simple and only 5 pages, since it is my first effort in DW and I was just getting my feet wet-have used iWeb in the past. But I hope to do something more complicated in the future, so will probably need to keep better track of stuff.

Share files over multiple sites

Hello everybody,
Is there a way to use a single file from multiple sites without having to maintain them twice?
For example I want to use the same PHP-functions in two projects (include file).
Is there a Dreamweaver-technique which allows me to use and upload a file, that is outside of the site-root-directory.
Librarys? Templates?
greeting

Is there a Dreamweaver-technique
Firstly, this has nothing to do with Dreamweaver, so no, there isn't a DW technique. This depends on your webserver and operating system.
The solution also depends on what kind of file you are trying to share, and if the websites are on the save server. HTML/CSS can't normally access files outside the web root, so, for instance, you can't normally share a CSS file between websites (but there is a workaround using aliases). PHP files don't have this limitation, as long as they are on the same server.
I took a quick look at the Google hosted libraries. It looks like it is all javascript. Javascript doesn't have the same limitation that PHP has. For instance, Lots of people reference a remote copy of jQuery in their web pages.
There is a method of sharing files across servers that involves configuring the receiving server to accept the remote file. I experimented with this some years ago but can't find any info on it now. Sorry, I can't even remember what the technique was called. It wasn't easy to get it to work with all browsers as they have different security policies.

Best practice for running multiple sites on 1 CF install?

Hi-
I'm setting up a new hosting environment (Windows Server 2008 Standard 64 bit VPS configuration, MySQL, IIS 7, CF 9)
Has anyone seen any docs or can anyone suggest best practices for configuring multiple sites in this environment? At this point I'm thinking simple is best, one new site in IIS for each client (domain) and point it to CF.
Given this environment, is anyone aware of any gotchas within the setup of CF 9 on IIS 7?
Thank you in advance,
Rich

There's nothing wrong with that approach. You can run as many IIS sites as you like against a single CF install.
As for installing CF on IIS 7, I recommend that you do the following: install CF 9 without connecting it to IIS, then installing the 9.0.1 upgrade and any hotfixes, then connecting CF to IIS using the web server configuration utility. This will keep you from having to install the IIS 6 compatibility layer that's needed with CF 9 but not with CF 9.0.1.
