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.

  • Noob Used iWebsites, now can't edit/find site in iWeb

    Used iWebsites to allow for multiple sites with .Mac. Now "New Site" is the default (even if I delete it). When I launch iWeb "New Site" keeps reappearing
    (with no files visible in iWeb).
    The site I'm looking for (my original site, which still comes up online) is visible in the iWebsites dialog, but I can't find/open/edit it (even when I make it the "default").
    Please help! (Is it lost forever...just floating out there in cyberspace??)

    You shouldn't have to do that on the Mac or Windows.  Only thing I could find that would suggest loading files from there is a tutorial by David.  And although I would normally agree with him, keeping the files in a system library folder for a testing environment is really unnecessary.  I'd recommend moving them into your /Users/{username}/Sites folder.  There is already a modification to the apache server to recognize that as http://localhost/~{username}.  Or install something like MAMP that is in the Applications folder.

  • Can I use SRST for multiple sites wit separate 911 lines

    Is it possible to use an SRST (like a 2911 CME/SRST) to support multiple sites. 
    We have two sites next door to each other. They are connected by fiber with Cisco switches (vlans) at box sites.
    Can I use a single SRST and have two separate 911 POTS lines setup so that each site has it's own unique 911 associated with it?
    I can create two separate Voice vlans for the two sites and I could have both 29xx interfaces in use (one for each VLAN), but can I separate the dialing out function so that each vlan uses a unique POTS line this way?
    Any other solutions other than two SRSTs?

    We have to keep the 911 dialing the same at all sites since I already had an idea like that ...but we use 911, 9911 and 8911 for everyone to reach 911 so that they are not confused during an outage.
    We will just have to bite the bullet and order 2901 SRSTs for all our small remote sites. 

  • I downloaded Mozilla when I first got my Mac.Is it a better than Safari?I tried Safari and I did not care for it. So can I still use cmd t or cmd n for opening multiple sites?

    I downloaded Mozilla firefox when I first got my mac as I did not like safari.Thah being said,which is better? and lastly can I still use cmd t or cmd with firefox for opening multiple sites? Thanks,Ralph

    You need to visit this page and learn all about Firefox's awesome features, don't ignore the add-ons, toolbar>customize or persona's they really personalize Firefox.
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/central/
    Also you need to make sure your browser plugins are current for your whole machine, Safari included.

    I hope one day Apple will make Safari as awesome as Firefox and allow the choice it has, but not today.

  • Multiple sites-Use both versions?

    I have 3 domains, removed into separate folders. I have backed these up.
    1. School domains-1 active classroom site/1 from last year I copy entries from
    2. Teacher Support domain-a site I created to help teachers at my school
    3. Personal site with photos
    Using “Open With” I upgraded the personal site to 2.x. IWeb 2.x is great for photos. When I upgraded the domain using 2.x it works fine.
    I can’t convert #2 above, as it is made with an 11Mystics theme and the blogs just disappear. The entries show in iWeb, but the main blog page with the RSS feeds is empty. I have yet to try deleting the RSS folder and republishing. Using 11Mystics beta for my theme and installing themes and thumbnails doesn’t work well.
    I would be happy leaving #1 & 2 in iWeb 1.x, but when I publish one will render just fine in the browser and the other always gets the error page. Sometimes they alternate.
    Has anyone been successful publishing multiple sites using both? Are there any 11Mystics users who have been successful in upgrading? I’m using Aerolite Silver. Thank you for your time.

    I'm publishing to .Mac Thanks for the information. I may give it another try. I effectively do as you do. I have an iWeb folder that has folders for each website. One will have a regular 2.x domain - the other will open the domain with iWeb 08.
    I'd convert everything, but I put so much work into my resource site (06 version)
    http://web.mac.com/dontruett/iWeb/RSTchr/Home/Home.html
    I could duplicate all of the theme pages I tweaked and use them in 2.x, but for the disappearing blogs. I may try deleting the RSS folder from iDisk and publishing again in 08. It's just so time consuming to experiment with 3 domains, then revert back, as publishing takes forever.

  • Is it possible to have multiple search results page using one Search Enterprise Center site?

    Hi,
    We're using SharePoint 2013 and I'm trying to modify the search results page for one site collection. By default, it uses the search results page from the parent site which is the search center being used by default for the web application. I need to make
    sure that the site collection will only retrieve search results within the site collection (search everything has to be disabled). I found a way but I had to create another search center site to accomplish this, otherwise, it will affect the search center
    site of all other site collections on the web app.
    Now is it possible to have multiple search results page using one Search Enterprise Center site?

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want to retrieve the search results within the site collection.
    As a workaround, you can create a custom result source for the site collection and you will retrieve the search result within the site collection.
    More information about how to create result source in SharePoint 2013, please refer to :

  • Using SPSiteDataQuery for multiple Site Collections

    Hi All,
    I would like to query five contact lists on multiple site collections. I can query the lists using SPSiteDataQuery if they are within the same site collection, but I can not query the lists over multiple site collections.
    Is there a method like SPSiteDataQuery that I can use to query lists over multiple Site Collections?
    Many Thanks,
    Colin

    Hi,
    As you have mentioned that: SPSiteDataQuery which can query multiple webs within the same site collection, but not across multiple site collections. You can't accomplish that easily.
    The solution evolves from first using the SPSiteDataQuery class to run a query upon each site collection and then aggregating the results.
    For detailed information, refer to the following article:

  • Multiple Domain files, Multiple Sites, Publishing Problems

    I am frustrated beyond belief. I'm an old hand-coder, coming from BBEdit, but I've been using iWeb almost exclusively since its release, because it really is a great product for quick, easy, stylish designs.
    However.... In that year, my collection of sites has grown to 12. Discovering that iWeb becomes a major dog when dealing with that much material, I found and followed the instructions - today - to separate my sites into individual domain files, and edit them individually. iWeb is much snappier and publishing goes much more quickly.
    The problem? Well... after editing, "Publish to .Mac" rarely works. Only "Publish All to .Mac" will get the site online (something about an error with the index.html file). But "Publish All to .Mac", I've just discovered, DELETES the other websites that I have previous published. All day I've been doing updates and publishing my sites, only to discover that the uploads have all been wiped out by the most recent one!
    I'm a big enough fellow to admit that my knowledge isn't total nor perfect - so please, would someone out there with a better handle on iWeb than I (preferably someone who actually deals with multiple domain files rather than someone who thinks they can guess the problem) please clue me into how we make use of this program non-destructively?
    I suppose I could always publish everything to folders and upload it to my iDisk (which itself remains ridiculously slow after how many years now? Sheesh!), but that detracts from the elegance of the .Mac integration, the counter features, - not to mention the little fact that I'm a paying .Mac customer and this darn thing should just work, no?

    Mark:
    I was where you were also. You should give iWebSites a try. It's to iWeb what iPhoto Library Manager is to iPhoto.
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. 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. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. Just remember to put a copy of your current Domain.sites file somewhere else on your HD in case the splitting gets messed up. It went very smoothly for me and I now manage 19 or so sites.

  • Multiple sites for different geographic areas

    i did a website for a letting agency in glasgow (
    http://www.youlet.co.uk ) but
    now the company has decided to open up an extra branch in
    cambridge. iv optimised the original site and it appears in top 4
    under certain optimised key phrases in msn and yahoo. iv been asked
    to make a duplicate site for the cambridge office. now obviously
    pages like the property search will have different content but more
    informative pages like the home, about pages will be practicaly
    identical other than changing all text references and keywords to
    contain cambridge instead of glasgow.
    so as not to mess with the ranking of the existing site, i
    was going to put that whole site into a subdomain like
    website/glasgow, do the same with the cambridge version then have
    an index page on the main site linking off to the 2 sites.
    what i wanted to ask was by doing this subdomain idea will
    this allow each site to be treated as a site in its own right and
    allow the glasgow veriosn to get back to where it was in the
    rankings with it getting ignored as it is a subsdomain?
    and also because the glasgow and cambridge sites will be
    mostly identical apart from references to the location will this
    count as being duplicate sites and count as spam?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When publishing multiple sites to to a MobileMe account the last published site will be accessible via the simple URL: http://web.me.com/youraccountname/
    However each site has it's own URL which would be:
    http://web.me.com/youraccount_name/sitename
    So you need to tack on the site name at the end of the simple URL.
    For what it's worth I use iWebSites to manage over 40 individual sites.. 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. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.

  • Iweb 09_good for multiple site designs

    Hi!
    I am looking to upgrade to a better imac and iWeb 09 to create "microsites" for my current print design clients to help expand their marketing. Is this version of iWeb easy to use for that or does it to multiple sites at all? Basically I am asking is this version a good one for multiple site building? Ease of use for that purpose? Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iWeb 09 can handle multiple sites quite easily. However, a lot depends on where you plan to host the sites and manage them. Will they each have a domain name for the site?
    On MobileMe you can have only one site with CNAME domain name forwarding to the same account. The others must use the standard html URL forwarding. AND they all must be created in the same Domain.sites2 file. That can be a problem.
    If you use the standard domain name forwarding with MMe for all the sites then you can have a separate domain file for each client and use Web Site Maestro to manage then them and select which one to open and work on.
    If each client will provide their own hosting server then it's possible that CNAME forwarding can be used for each client if they have a domain name and their server supports CNAME.

  • Multiple sites and personal domain

    Hi everyone!
    I'm having a problem with iWeb 08. Here's the details:

    How can I do to set the personal domain only to my business site, leaving the personal one unchanged?

  • Multiple Sites Problem

    Hi,
    I am using a personal domain name with iweb for one site. I have created two other sites using name forwarding. When I publish one of the other two I get the option to 'visit site now'. When I click on this it takes me to my first personal domain name site. Why doesn't it take me to the site I just published?
    I also notice that the other two sites urls are linked to my personal domain one. Is that how it should be?

    Select the site you want to visit in iWeb's left hand pane and use the File->Visit Published Site menu option.

    Hey all!
    I have an interesting problem.. i was using iweb 1 w/ iwebsites to edit multiple pages in iweb.. i updated to iweb 2 and now one of my other sites will not open in iweb 2.. This other site WAS created using iweb 1..
    I d/l the new version of iwebsites for iweb 2, but I dont believe that is the problem..
    I think my domain/sites files have become corrupted somehow...
    Anybody have any suggestions?? I really need to work on this other site that wont open!
    Thanx in advance!

    I did indeed try that already to no avail.. Oddly enough I only get one site to open....
    basically, I need to figure out how to add the site back...

  • Clarify posting multiple sites...

    I have searched the forum high and low without getting a clear and definite answer to this question.
    Basically, I want to use iWeb to build and maintain several web sites. I have had success separating the sites using iWebSites. All I want to do is use my existing .mac server space to host several sites, which will be accessed by entering in a purchased domain name, which will forward you to that address. However, I do want one web site to be available for access directly (web.mac.com/username). The others can have a long and rediculous address, as they will be accessed by entering in another name anyhow.
    Whenever I publish one site or the other, it overwrites the one I previously posted. I can't figure out how to get web.mac.com/username to count for one of the sites, and then the subsites to be at other addresses.
    Is this possible using iWeb 1.1.2?
    I would appreciate any help. Thanks a lot.

    o.k. firstly, the only reason for using one of these multisite domain programs is if you need to keep the sites separate due to size and the added time it takes to publish when there are lots running at one time or if you are publishing them to separate webspaces. Otherwise iWeb is quite happy running more than 1 site all open at one time in the application. they are listed down the main panel on the left.
    I have created a few sites from one Domain file (iWeb file) that when published all upload to .mac in 1-click, but are basically separate sites see links for examples on my .mac account.... (1 even has a separate password)
    http://web.mac.com/dandid/iWeb/Site/
    http://web.mac.com/dandid/iWeb/links%20page
    http://web.mac.com/dandid/iWeb/654/
    http://web.mac.com/dandid/iWeb/bunyan/
    If all your sites require .mac features, or you want to have them ALL hosted on .mac (regardless of the original website address) then the best way is simply to keep all of them in the same iWeb Domain, i.e. just add new sites within the iWeb application, just as apple intended.
    In addition to multiple sites in my main .mac area, I personally have a number of separate sites run using separate Domain files.
    from these I publish to various places on the net by publishing to a local folder and using and ftp program to upload the HTML files. I only use these from separate Domain files so that I can make changes to some of the small sites without having to wait for iWeb to generate HTML for loads of sites at once.(my mac is slooooow)
    You can open any number of separate sites either by manually moving the domain file within your library/application support/iWeb or by using one of the 'multisite' programs to manage them for you. Then you can use the 'publish to folder' command to prepare all the web ready html files etc to a local folder on your mac. You will then manually upload the files to your sites.
    I'd read the help files for how apple actually intends you to manage more than 1 site if you still don't get it, because if you want them all on .mac anyway, it works pretty well just as they planned it.
    or mail me if you want more help - [email protected]
    hope this helps

  • Multiple Sites - oh help

    I've read a bunch about CNAMES & multiple sites, but am as lost as ever. So I've got www.ProjectReclaim.com that points (via my server, iPower) to my .mac account. Then I made a "New Site" that is supposed to go to www.theStudioPass.com (which is my default .me site). I set up the CNAME thing for theStudioPass.com through iPower. But something is simply not working.
    Ok, bottom line: Any guesses why I can't even access my .me site? http://web.me.com/leah82
    In the event that I've made any sense and you can wade through my illogic, thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you plan to have multiple sites published to your MMe account and domain name forwarding it might be easier to manage if the sites were in separate iWeb Domain.sites2 files to facilitate editing and publishing them independently of each other. I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites, over 45. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
