My domain name is repeated as a subdomain

I have an iWeb site that is hosted by Mobile me, with a godaddy domain. For some reason, my site publishes my domain, PLUS my site name as a subdomain. IE., www.eikonfoto.com/eikonfoto/welcome.html. I want my site just to have www.eikonfoto.com/welcome.html, etc. How do I accomplish this? I have racked my brain on it for weeks now.

This is totally normal for iWeb to do this and it is how iWeb works.
If you publish to MobileMe there is not a lot that you can do about this apart from changing your site name to something shorter and publishing again.
You could always change your CNAME set up to masked web forwarding and in this way you would get just your domain name displayed for every single web page, but this brings other problems too.
Host your site with an external server such as GoDaddy and you can solve this problem.

Repeating domain name in URL bar

This is probably something very simple to correct. After I upload my iWeb 3.0.1 site to my personal domain, the url reads like this:
http://mydomain.com/mydomain.com/welcome.html. (mydomain.com is substituted for the real domain name.)
Why isn't it just reading http://mydomain.com/welcome.html? Why the double domain?
I'm assuming iWeb is creating a folder called mydomain.com that contains my website files in my public_html folder instead of just putting the files directly there. Probably a simple setting I've messed up somewhere. Can anyone offer some help?
Thanks,
Robert

No, it is nothing that you have done, but it is the way iWeb works and has worked ever since iWeb 06 - it publishes to a Site folder and that along with a separate index file is what is uploaded to your public_html folder at your server and this is why you get the double domain name.
As others have said the fix is either to change to site name to something shorter like Site or S - you can't leave the site name blank in iWeb, it won't let you. You then republish your site so your url will be http://www.domain.com/sitename/pagename.
Your other alternative is to open iWeb and then publish your site to your desktop, so select ftp to local folder. Then use Cyberduck or Transmit to upload just the contents of your site folder to your public_html folder on your server. You will then get the url http://www.domain.com/pagename.
However, one word of warning, if you want to use things like RSS feed, you won't be able to because it won't work as you have broken iWeb site structure.

Domain name/"primary DNS" name/mail host name/mail server name/mx name

Hi,
I have registered my domain name (N.com) with an external dns server and created an MX record (mail.N.com) for it as well. My server sits behind a router and internet traffic is port(80)-forwarded to my server's fixed internal ip address (I can access my webpages from the internet just fine). When I initially setup the server I was asked to give it a "primary DNS name." I naturally assumed that N.com was supposed to be entered here, but that just caused all kinds of problems (though I still do not understand why). So I reinstalled and currently have server.N.com as the primary DNS name of the server (although it shows up in Server Admin and Workgroup Manager as server.local--why is that?)
I have had no luck getting any email from the internet with the default settings in mail services (domain name of N.com and host name of server.N.com). Having no luck with the defaults, I assumed that maybe I needed to change the host name to "mail.N.com" so that it matched the MX record. I also changed the user preferences in Workgroup Manager to receive mail from mail.N.com--but still no luck. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong and how come none of the Mail Service literature mentions anything about what a mail "host name" is supposed to be? Is it supposed to be the same as the "Mail Server" name that Workgroup Manager asks each user for? and is it the same as the MX record name?
I am just needing some help to connect all these variously named, but undefined, dots.
Also, how come I can access webmail from the internet using www.N.com/webmail but can't do it from any computers within my physical network (I have to use IPaddress/webmail or server.local/webmail)?
Also, should my user email addresses be [email protected] or [email protected] (which is the current default)?
Thanks in advance and good luck!
John

I had been told by a friend that ... regular email coming in from the internet would go through port 80
Unfortunately you were misinformed.
My MX record needs the extra subname (such as "mail") in front of the domain name, right?
Not at all. A MX record for 'N.com' is entirely valid (expected, in fact).
An MX record tells remote mail servers where to send mail for any domain/subdomain. If you think about it, let's say you worked for Apple and you wanted people to be able to send email to [email protected], well then you need an MX record for 'apple.com'.
You can see if you dig MX apple.com that they actually have 9 MX records, but the point still stands.
Now, you might also have MX records for subdomains so that you can have [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. Each of these subdomains would need a separate MX record.
So, in general, for any set of email addresses @[anything.]domain.com you have a MX record telling remote mail servers where to send that mail.
Of course the MX record name is mail.N.com, but I think you are implying that the in the Mail settings of Server Admin where it asks for domain name all I need to put there is the N.com, right?
What I mean is that you need to set the domain name to whatever domain name you expect to receive mail at.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected], then you enter 'N.com'.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected] then you enter 'mail.N.com'.
If you want both forms, enter one in the main domain and add the other(s) in the Advanced -> Hosting -> Local Host Aliases section.
Is there anything in the Mail settings that needs to have the full MX record name (mail.N.com)?
Yes. Either the 'domain name' or the 'Local Host Aliases' needs to contain the same thing as your MX record. That's because the MX record tells remote servers to send mail to this machine, but the machine won't accept the mail unless it is configured to do so.
What is the "host name" supposed to be?
This should be the name that remote servers see when this machine tries to send outgoing mail.
Ideally this should match the reverse DNS of your IP address, that way when it connects to a remote server it says "Hi, I'm $hostname" and the remote server can lookup the machine's IP address and see the same result. This will reduce the problem of remote servers thinking you're sending them spam.
If you only have a single IP address then this probably needs to be something like 'N.com'. If you don't have control over your reverse DNS then you're going to run into a problem.
Also in the user accounts (in Workgroup Manager) what should the "mail server name" be? Is it the host name or the domain name?
Off hand, I don't know.
Also, why are all the default user email addresses [email protected] (the name I gave the server at setup)? Why doesn't the user accounts create [email protected] as the default address?
Presumably because the mail server says it is 'server.N.com' and therefore any accounts on that machine would be [email protected]. Changing the domain name (as above) should fix that.

How do I configure snow leopard server to allow local client to access the server using its public domain name

I have SLS 10.6 running on my local network with DNS configured.
I can access the server from a client on the lan using server.local or server.domain where domain name is my publically registered domain,
From the internet I can access my server using the registered domain name i.e. www.domain.com.
Is it possible to set my server up so that www.domain.com also reaches the server when used by a client locally? At present I get a page not found error.

The configuration you're aiming for is called split-horizon or split-brain DNS, and it's quite possible. It can get slightly hairy when you have different stuff using the same host name for different purposes, for instance, and you'll need to track all external DNS entries in your internal DNS server when you're running "split".
Here is how to set up DNS services. Split-horizon is one of the options listed there.
My preference is to use a different domain or subdomain within the network, and to avoid using split-horizon where I can reasonably manage it. One domain name is configured for and reachable outside and is effectively public, and the other domain (or a subdomain) is inside and private and only reachable directly or via VPN, for instance.

Active Directory Domain Name Convention

Hi All
I'm creating a brand new domain for a new company I have just started at. We currently use Office 365 so sharepoint and Exchange are both in the cloud and our website is also outsourced.
I am now rolling out our first DC on Windows 2012 Server and I'm find conflicting reports on what naming convention I should use for AD with use with hosted exchange.
Most seem to point at using a subdomain of our main site, like corp.mydomain.com whereas I come from a background using Server 2003 where its always been mydomain.local
Can anyone advise me on this one and are there any additional thoughts around implementing with an existing Office 365 setup?

It seems that mydomain.local is recommended less often (if not discouraged) because certificates from a third-party CA will no longer accept internal domain names, like mydomain.local, in the near future.
Some links on this subject:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/a460ee18-e674-4c14-b4e8-33afd9ddb2a0/change-local-to-com-to-resolve-ssl-certificate-mismatch?forum=exchange2010
http://www.digicert.com/internal-names.htm
http://exchangeserverpro.com/ssl-requirements-for-exchange-when-certificate-authorities-wont-issue-certificate/
In any case Office 365 will not interact with internal names. If you use such a name currently, you'd have to configure a UPN suffix allowing users to connect with the external name. This link might
explain it better:
http://www.messageops.com/documentation/office-365-documentation/active-directory-federation-services-design-planning-for-office-365
In particular:
"It is common for organizations to use one domain name internally and a different domain name externally. A best practice was to have your internal Active Directory domain name have a .local or a .corp suffix. With Office 365, the UPN suffix must match
your external domain name which you have registered and verified within Office 365. In these types of situations it is necessary to add a UPN (User Principle Name) suffix to the Active Directory."

How to change the full host and domain name on OS X Leopard...

I recently bought an iMac, and I'm trying to configure it for my network. The question I have is, how can I change the host name and domain name from Skuld.local to skuld.tolharadys.net?
After mucking around with a few searches on Google, I've gotten the domain name to stick since running domainname returns tolharadys.net. Also I can change the hostname as reported by 'hostname' temporarily by running 'hostname skuld.tolharadys.net' in Terminal.app. However, this isn't persistent after reboots. Ideas are welcome.

You would need a DNS server on your network configured to answer authoritatively for that particular subdomain.

Having trouble setting new domain name in business catalyst

Hello,
I'm having problems setting up my site to go live. Here's what I've done so far:
1) built the site and pushed it live
2) upgraded the site
3) set up a GoDaddy domain name
4) set up the servers on GoDaddy
5) set up the associate account info on BC
And then.... nothing.
I've then deleted the domain and tried to repeat the process, in case I missed something, but now I can't set up a new domaine and keep getting the error "Domain already exists. Please delete all records associated with this domain". What records? What does this even mean?
Can someone please walk me through the steps to get this site live?
Thanks!
Darin

Hi Aish,
I'm still having no luck with the site. I've triple-checked and everything is correct on the GoDaddy end. I'm attaching a screenshot of with BC portal, so you can see where I'm at. I somehow ended up with duplicate domains and I have no idea which one to delete. Also, I can't seem to enter anything for the A records, C name records, etc. Is there anything at all that support can do to get this thing up and running? It's been close to a week since I upgraded the site. Please advise.
Thanks,
Darin

IWeb 8.0 - personal domain name publishing

I have created a site and published to my MobileMe account and also published - to my personal domain name, to which the site tells me I have successfully published to the new name/site. I click on visit the site - and it comes up as address unknown. Repeatedly - for two days now.
The site is published as can be - and yet, it still does not come up under my personal domain name. It will come up as my .mac.(username) - address, but not the personal name that I want. The domain is active and shows in my MobileMe account as active, so what's the disconnect? What step am I missing?

Add a new directory with hyphen (-) in the domain name

Dear All,
I'm trying to add a new directory with hyphen (-) in the domain name (default domain *.onmicrosoft.com). As a result I keep getting a validation error: "The domain is not unique". I've tried several
combinations with really awkward words and a hyphen. Such domain names must be unique. I think that the error message is misleading.
Is it a well known behavior? Is it possible to use a hyphen in the domain name?
Thank you for your help,
Artem

Dear Arvind,
Thank you for your effort and time in validating the described behavior.
According to the
Regexp for subdomain question on SO, 'Each subdomain part may contain hyphens (dashes), but may not begin or end with a hyphen'. That been said, the validation error, on your screenshot is appropriate. On the other hand, the validation error
with a hyphen (dash) in the middle is misleading.
It's not a big deal, since people most likely use a custom DNS name anyway.
Kind regards,
Artem

Office Live Website Domain Name Transfer?

I currently have a Office Live website with a .co.uk domain name - is there a way to create and host the same domain name with Apple once my Office Live account expires?
And yes I'm a technophobe!

To use your domainname with MobileMe you must [enable Personal Domain at MobileMe|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=MobileMe/Account/en/acct1 7114.html] and set your CNAME to web.me.com where you have registered your domainname.
Pick your own subdomain (www is a subdomain).
It's not an iWeb issue, since iWeb is not involved. [Forum : MobileMe iWeb and Personal Domain|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1163]
Read my article how I manage my domainname : http://www.wyodor.net/Domain/
I currently have these subdomains:
http://www.wyodor.net/ (at MobileMe using A Record)
http://me.wyodor.net/ (at MobileMe using CNAME)
http://google.wyodor.net/ (at Google using A Record)
http://wyodor.net/ (at MS Office Live using A Record)
Other subdomains default to my Personal Webserver on my computer at home.
Note that you cannot use iWeb, or any custom webpage, at Google or MS Office Live. They're all webbased.

No windows identity for Domain Name\User

I have recently upgraded SharePoint 2013 farm from RTM to SP1. I am repeatedly getting errors No windows
identity for Domain Name\User in ULS log. Some users who was earlier able to access to site is not able to access site.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers or vote as helpful if they help.

Few questions to quickly check with you..
1. Have you re-run your SharePoint Configuration Wizard after you upgraded from RTM to SP1? Its very important to re-run SharePoint Configuration Wizard to ensure SharePoint Config DB is updated with latest changes in the farm.
2. If you have performed the above step but still face issues, have you restarted your SharePoint Server after re-running your SharePoint Configuration Wizard? If not please restart the server.
3. If not anyone of the above, then have you changed your authentication type for your web application in Central Admin. Example, from Classic Authentication to Claim Based Authentication?

Reading idn(International Domain Name)

quote:
<cfoutput>
#listFirst(cgi.server_name,'.')#
</cfoutput>
I have the code like the above in my webPage
"subDomain.cfm."
(1)
http://korea.dot.kr/test/subDomain.cfm
(2)
http://한국.dot.kr/test/subDomain.cfm
If you click the link (1) in the above, you will read
"korea."
If you clikc the link (2) in the above, you will read
"xn--3e0b707e."
"xn--3e0b707e" is the puny code for the IDN
"한국" which means "korea" in korean language.
I like to read the IDN "한국" instead of the puny
code "xn--3e0b707e."

As IE7 is on the road, most major browsers support
IDN(International Domain Name)
I think Server-scripting language should support IDN,
i.e. we should read IDN in server-scripting languages.
I've heard that there are some clues for reading IDN in PHP.
http://pear.speedpartner.de/apidoc/I18N_Punycode/I18N_Punycode/_Punycode_Punycode_php.html
http://phlymail.de/index.php?sid=79a...oads&what=idna
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/file/5845.html
Then, why can't ColdFusion read IDN?
For example,
#cgi.HTTP_HOST in ColdFusion read EDN(English Domain Name).
We need a kind of cgi variables which is likely named
"cgi.HTTP_IDN" which can read IDN instead of PunyCode.
How can I read IDN in ColdFusion?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

What is the point in this "BScatalyst" if can not use your own domain name?!

the marketing of adobe BScatalyst is a enigma for me. What is it? when you can´t use your domain name?!

I think you need to do a lot of research and a lot of reading.
The point is: adobe has NOTHING TO OFFER besides the software (muse) for
developing a site.
Sorry to repeat this a lot but your not correct here as well.
Muse came recently and is a simple tool to help get people into making sites from the graphics and design industry basically. BC Has a full template, layout and code system:
http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/dev-assets/reference#!/module-reference/photo-galleries/m odule_photogallery.html
It has API Access, it can be developed using any coding software from Dreamweaver to Coda 2. This for many is the primary method of creating BC websites and has been for years, even before Adobe purchased the BC company.
It is always being updated as you can see with the new rendering engine and liquid markup:
http://www.businesscatalyst.com/bc-blog
The point is the CC atracts amatures, like my self, to devope sites, but
they have NOTHING to offer on the hosting side of the work.
Sorry, but none of this is correct. CC is a service created by Adobe to take all its software into the cloud, it is not just there to develop sites. In terms of storing your work in the cloud that is one of its primary functions. Ignoring BC and websites you can store your files, PSD's through your Creative Cloud account.
Your post was put under moderation automatically by the forum software because how you posted it. The caps will do it.
everything above here are without ANY interest for the common amateur muse developer. Why do you think we use muse?!
I communicate, I read and know a lot of Muse developers, Again your not correct here as well. Sorry for repeating this but this again simply not true and pretty much everything you have said so far is that.
A lot of Muse users develop very nice looking but basic in function websites, there are a lot who would like to do more such as eCommerce etc, you are not the norm in your thinking off what everything is from CC, BC and the web.
CMS me here, SAAS me there, and business analysis me over again. IT IS OF NO INTEREST FOR US MILLIONS OF MUSE USERS!
Again, this is not true. Most of the posts I see from Muse users is how they do more with BC and many want and ask how to upgrade their CC BC to offer more features. The Creative Cloud version of BC is the VERY BASIC version of it, it does not have most of the abilities it has if you have one of the higher plans.
See here:
US Yearly Pricing | Adobe Business Catalyst
A complementary product to Muse is HOSTING!
Creative Cloud is Adobe moving into the Cloud space for their products and services, Muse is an entry level designer based peace of software to create basic websites. Business Catalayst is what you do not want to research into and hosting is just storage basically.
Adobe Business Catalyst
In terms of your website, people make sites just for family etc and put them on the web, Real domain or not you can build a site for what ever you want. But its a website and will be out there on the web. Search engines like google will index such sites so if you do not want them out there on the internet do not create them to make them available.
I do not mean to be rude, but your comments are not valid and going no where. You not really understanding what anything is, your complaining about things are not true or things that you think do not exist when they do.
I have been developing sites on the Business Catalyst platform for over 5 years and using other coding platforms and other CMS's for longer then that. I am considered one of the people outside BC who know the platform for the most so please trust in what I am saying here.
If you want just hosting just use Creative Cloud or something like dropbox.
If you want to learn more about the web or building sites etc I suggest you go lean, there are many great resources out there.

Lists: domain name host name?

In the 'General' tab of the Mail service window in Server Admin I've got the following:
Domain name: subdomain.mydomain.com
Host name: mail.mydomain.com
So my e-mail addresses like [email protected] work fine. But what's weird is that when I'm creating mailing lists , the internal users get added to it like this: [email protected]!? Why is it that? Why don't they get added with [email protected]?
Because the problem is if they send something to the list, it gets denied because the mailing list considers them non-members!
Any ideas what the problem could be and how to correct that?
Thanks.
Xserve Mac OS X (10.4.3)

All,
From the Mail Service PDF Manual;
"Adding a Subscriber to an Existing List
This is the same procedure as adding a user to a newly created list.
To add a subscriber to an existing list:
1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computer & Services list.
2 Click Settings.
3 Select the Lists tab.
4 Select the List to which you want to add a subscriber.
5 Click the Add button under the Members pane.
6 Enter the recipient’s email address.
The email address must match the return address of the recipient to post messages
without administrator approval.
If a user was added via the “Users and Groups” button, the email address in the list will
be in the form of “[email protected]”. If necessary, change the email address in
the mailing lists panel of Server Admin to match the return address used by the client.
7 Assign the subscriber privileges.
8 Click OK."
In other words, click in the user's email field and edit the address to suit - by default Mailman treats the list as belonging to the machine's host name, not to the email domain/sub-domain, which is the most logical since you could have multiple domains/sub-domains configured.
Regards,
Ian
