Personal Domain Issue

I purchased a personal domain for my website that I have built using iWeb '08. When I go to set up the personal domain through iWeb, I get the follwoing message:
"We are unable to configure domains at this time. Please try again later."
This is the second day in a row that I have been receiving this message. Does anyone know what may be causing the problem? Is it something I am doing, or is it something internal at Apple?
Thanks.

Have you read all the replies under this topic and especially my previous post which answers your question?
Again - it is NOT in iWeb that you need to adjust these settings. Instead, you need to log into your MobileMe account either through System Preferences and click on Account settings or by typing in me.com into the top of your browser and logging in this way. After doing this, click on the 'head' or 'person' image at the top of that page and this is your personal account section. Then on the left had side there is a button that has Personal Domain on it. Click on this and it should show your personal domain name setting. There is a little button on the right hand side of this that has Remove Domain on it. Click on this and your domain name will be removed from your MME account.
When you remove your domain name from your account, your url for that account will then be http://web.me.com/username/sitename - the normal MME url.
Next time you open iWeb, or that particular domain file, the green at the bottom will then show your MME url instead of your domain name.
Please remember to read the other posts, as these may well contain the answer you need!

.au .nz .it .uk etc personal domain issue

When I attempt to use a personal domain name it will only work with a straight .com - not a .com.au or .com.xx etc. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a solution? Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Thanks, I just wish I could be of more help.
All I can really say say is I read this page here
Then logged into .Mac
Clicked on the little user icon to the right of my account.
Then clicked personal domain. From there there was no other domain name as you can only have one and entered it in. Which sounds like the exact same thing you've already done.
I guess the only thing to do now is get help directly from Apple about this at

Blog and personal domain/store, SEO & other issues

I'm using the blog format to provide helpful tips, dynamic content and general marketing for our online store. The .Mac points to a subdomain, not directly to the site and the content can be viewed through the store pages in a frame (GoLive). I've submitted sitemaps to google for both the store site and blog subdomain and many questions, lots of uncertainity and variable scenarios on this and .Mac versus maybe better SEO friendly options like Wordpress and .Mac's general sluggishness. I like the ease of updating with .Mac and the main reason I have taken the .Mac to personal domain approach was the Search capability.
1) Is there a way using GoLive or 3rd party option to search for blog content if I simply Published to folder and upload content & pages in the site versus the personal domain approach?
2) If I update blog content directly to the site, what other steps aside from, resubmitting the sitemap to Google are good SEO practices?
3) How does the blog via subdomain sitemap/Google content get crawled? So far the visible links appear to correlate to 'Number of Excerpts to Show'. plus the main blog page and archive page. Will submitting the sitemap in a particular level of the blog folders affect the crawling to maximize content discovery?
4) Does having content in a frame from the subdomain from a .Mac account affect SEO & possibly get into Duplication of Content issues?
5) Probably more questions to follow depending on logical direction and tweaks...
Any insights, input or tweak suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!

Another question:
6) Is there a method to create a sitemap of Blog entry links that you can post on a site? This and other navigation issues are a bit difficult, AFAIK.

Personal domain - url issue

I used iWeb to create a site, and have a personal domain hosted by .Mac
The URL is http://www.MADinColors.com/Site/Welcome.html but of course I wanted it to be http://www.MADinColors.com
Is there any way to get rid of the /Site/Welcome.html part? Or does it have something to do with the way iWeb publishes the files and so it will always be like this.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Mary Ann,
It does have something to do with the way iWeb publishes the files and thus it will always be like this.
Unless you choose to use a simple WebForward with masking or cloaking instead of the CNAME. Then the url displaying would be www.MADinColors.com no matter what page your visitors look at (thus it never changes it stays this way and that's it). However it doesn't seem to be a good idea to me as people wouldn't be able to share or bookmark a specific page (it simply would bookmark or share the first page and people would have to navigate to the page of their interest each time).
Thus I would leave it the way it is.

Cédric

Issues with Personal Domain & mail forwarding.

Hi all,
I have (after several weeks of fiddling, tinkering, messing and stressing) finally got my personal domain pointed at my iWeb site. It took long enough, but now everything is as it should be.
Except for one small annoying thing.
I have mail forwarding set up at my domain registrar. This works fine, expect when sending mail using .mac mail. In other words, when someone sends mail to an e-mail address which uses my domain name - it arrives in my inbox. But it someone sends it using the mac.com servers, then it gets returned as undeliverable.
Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Paul C.

To clarify, if I've registered the domain "mydomain.com", my registrar forwards any e-mails that are addressed: [email protected] to the mailbox of my ISP.
This works when e-mails are sent to this address via an ISP's smtp server and via most webmail. But when sent via mac.com servers, it comes back with a failure stating: "reason: 554 5.7.1 Recipient access denied.

Problem with iWeb after associating a personal domain name with my MobileMe

I think I did this by the book. I associated my personal domain name with my MobileMe account, then changed the CName pointer at GoDaddy to MobileMe (MM), then went back to MM and hit 'Done'. iWeb now lists my MM account as 'My account name (personal domain name). It took a little while for the DNS pointer to propogate, but now I can go to a browser, type in my personal domain name, and MM delivers my iWeb website as I wanted it to, apparently from my domain, not web.me.com. The problem is, as soon as the DNS propogated, MM delivers my MM site OK, but iWeb can't find the files for it anymore. All my pages immediately went red (unpublished) when I tried to update the site, and any attempt to Publish gives me this error "iWeb couldn’t connect to MobileMe. Make sure your Internet connection works and try again." I'm cable connected to an ADSL router, and Airport connected to a cable router, and neither service has dropped out. I've rebooted, and retried, and the website is up under my own domain, so GoDaddy and MM both got it right. What did I do wrong? Thanks, someone... anyone?

This is now sort of resolved, but not very satisfactorily. One of the trainers at my local Appple Store found an old support issue in the archives going back to 2008, which blamed security settings for update problems. Coincidental with associating MobileMe with my personal domain, I had checked the privacy box and added an ID and PW to the site. That was the problem, not the personal domain, that was preventing iWeb from finding my MM account. Uncheck that box and my site happily updates. Of course, now I have a site that I cannot make private. In this case, not a show-stopper, but disappointing. I have reported it as a bug in the latest version of iWeb. Thanks for your help.

IWeb hanging at logging into MobileMe (Personal Domain Problem)

I've searched and searched for an answer to my problem all over the internet and these forums and keep coming up blank.
Apologies if the answer is somewhere and I've missed it.
It could be a wider problem with my MobileMe, but iWeb is where it first occurred.
I recently had my personal website forwarding to my MobileMe site, and was using the MobileMe webspace to host my site. I had set my personal domain (in MobileMe) to the personal website. Why I did this I'm not sure, as I wasn't actually using the external webspace, merely forwarding it to my MobileMe site.
However I then decided I wanted to create a new site and this is where the problems began to occur. When I tried to publish the new site, it seemingly tried to publish to personaldomain/new_website name/ which obviously didn't exist as there was no external webspace there.
I then decided to reset everything, get rid of the personal domain setting within MobileMe and just merely forward my external web addresses to my Me sites. Upon deleting my Personal Domain from the mobileme settings page and logging into iWeb, the website name next to my username was still my external website address, and iWeb seemed to think it was all still published (which it was, as when I went to my web.me.com/etc, my website was there) However I wanted to start from scratch and republish everything, so I deleted all the web/sites section from my idisk, and hoped I could republish everything (this could have been a mistake!)
Now when I try to publish, iWeb just hangs at logging into MobileMe and won't publish anything. iPhoto also won't upload new photo albums and neither will aperture. They just hang at syncing galleries.
I'm completely at a loss as to how to proceed. I've deleted preferences from iweb and also logged out of mobileme, put a fake name in and logged back in again (to clear the cache I think) and still iweb hangs. I've even tried creating a new user account and logging in there and still it hangs.
Apologies for the essay of a post, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Just some suggestions as to where to go would be helpful. I'm wondering if it's something to do with Keychains? I had a brief look in there but it all went over my head. This is the first problem I've ever had with my new mac, and being from a PC background, don't really know where to look to fix things.
Thanks in advance to people who even get through reading the entire post!

If stephen's suggestion doesn't help you might consider the following:

After waiting a day for the rolling restore to happen, I called AppleCare because Apple had sent an email saying my service was back, and it wasn't. I still could send and not receive using Mail.
Here is what fixed it. Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord. For me this was lights on.
I am left wondering how long ago I could have had email had I known this preference reset scheme.
Although for a different MMe issue it will clear out the MMe login info so you can enter everything anew and give it a fresh start.

SPF and redirecting Personal Domain Emails to btin...

Concern has been raised due to Critical Path not delivering emails that SPF checks might stop emails, using personal domain email addresses that were redirected (ie forwarded) to btinternet addresses, being delivered. Now that Critical Path appear to have temporarily fixed the issue the following email header obtained after the fix shows that the concerns are unfounded.
It is preferable that when the "temporary" is removed removed from the current fix, BT ensure that Critical Path are not allowed to prevent delivery of any emails but pass them on to the recipient in a similar way as illustrated below.
The email header below, taken after the temporary fix by Critical Path, shows that when the redirection takes place no SPF check is done. It also shows that SPF check failure takes place when emails are forwarded from Critical Path to Yahoo.
Note that most of the header has to be read from bottom to top eg Section A followed by Section B etc.
The email was to payments@redacted ( ie @xxx.co.uk) that was redirected to [email protected] (ie [email protected])
The redirection takes place at sections B and C.
This email has several interesting features two of which are:
1. It has a spoofed senders address and
2. It contains a virus.

The "spf fail" you are seeing in your headers is actually added by Yahoo, since your mailbox has not yet been migrated to CP, and your btinternet mail is being forwarded to your BT Yahoo mailbox. Yahoo do not reject mail on SPF hard fail.   I indicated this in my post.
Prior to the relaxation of SPF reject by CP, CP was not forwarding your mail to Yahoo because CP was taking the decision to reject the mail on SPF hard fail.
I have headers before the temporary fix that have no indication of CP checking SPF.
Mail route (post relaxation of SPF reject):
Amazon -> 123-reg
Works fine
123-reg -> CP
Email now not rejected due to SPF check failed
But no indication that it did any checking.
CP -> Yahoo (if mailbox not yet migrated)
Yahoo adds SPF fail header but mail still accepted
My comments on your diagnosis is in red above.
It looks as if CP might handle "SPF hard fail policy" differently (from the obvious) than other policies eg not report them.
Has anyone got any headers for BT Mail implementations ?
Failure to deliver emails to recipients without any notification is unacceptable for any public email service.

Personal Domain URL & Publishing via iWeb

I don't have any problems with setting up a personal domain. (In fact, it was quite easy!) My question and issue is this: when I publish to my personal domain, iWeb wants to put the site I created into a subfolder of the root domain. For exmaple:
I want: www.ourlifetogether.com/
Instead, I get: www.ourlifetogether.com/ourlifetogether.com/home.html
I figured out it gets the subfolder "/ourlifetogether.com/..." name from the site name in iWeb. I have since changed it to "site" so that the URL, after someone types www.ourlifetogether.com is forwarded to www.ourlifetogether.com/site/home.html
Is there a way I can have it simply remove the redirect? I would rather be displayed as "www.ourlifetogether.com" and leave it at that. (I would even accept ".../home.html".) Any ideas?
Could it be because my initial page is named "home" rather than "index"? I dunno...

I am not sure what you mean by your "telltail sign". You are correct, iWeb is different and, being new to iWeb, I am attemping to learn these differences and hence why I posted this question initially. I was able to determine; however, that either iWeb and/or the "Publish to MobileMe" function does, indeed, create a index.html file, in the root directory with a META REFRESH in the <HEAD> section of the HTML. Using the open source WGET tool, I was able to grab this file. The contents of that file is below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>
</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= site/home.html" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Note the <meta http-equiv="refresh" ... url= site/home.html" /> line. This is the "META REFRESH tag I was assumed was happening and apparently...it is. Given that this is something that iWeb and/or MobileMe does without the user knowing about it, I assume that there is nothing that can be done to prevent it.
I am in the process of using WebDAV to move my files from the /site/ subfolder to the / root directory and remove this index.html file. (Actually, I will also likely want to rename my home.html file to index.html.) This is just an academic thing for me at this point because this is not a viable long-term solution. I simply want to publish and forget...and not have to have unpleasant looking URLs.

Personal Domain changed but iWeb still remains with the old one

Hi,
recently I changed my Personal Domain on MobileMe. Unfortunately iWeb still remains with the old one: Even if I create a new iWeb-Domain the problem occurs. I also checked whether this is a local iMac problem or not but it isn´t unless I have the same issue with my MacBook Air using the same MobileMe Account. Every time I open iWeb the 'Settings Page' shows the old personal domain name (displayed in brackets behind the MobilMe Account information). At MobilMe the new Personal Domain name displayed as the active one.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance
Mikl

I have this same problem.. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Personal domain on MobileMe, repetitive URL addresses and personal site?

Okay, this may be two topics, but I don't know how to describe it briefly enough for the subject line to get it all across. At least not at the end of a long day.
I have a website I designed and published via iWeb '09 promoting my home motorcycle service. I have the domain name registered through GoDaddy.com. I followed the instructions posted in another thread linked to GoDaddy's MobileMe instructions, and also used MobileMe's personal domain instructions to the point where it appears to work, but I still feel like I'm doing something wrong. The domain name is below.
www.bltmoto.com
However, when you type this into a browser, it forwards to my PERSONAL site which is also in the same iWeb file, which is basically just a blog and some pictures. It takes you to:
http://www.bltmoto.com/crat/HQ.html
...when I'm trying to get it to bring up this content:
http://www.bltmoto.com/BLTMotoService/Home.html
I was under the assumption that my personal site would remain located within the web.me.com domain, but it appears not if it's part of the same iWeb file. Is this correct? So hypothetically, if I was to get a domain name for my personal site, like www.chrisratledge.com, or whatever, could I get it to work independently of my moto service site within the same iWeb file? Would I have to duplicate the file and delete one of the other ones to keep them separate, or would that not work either? In other words, in iWeb, when you choose "New Site," will it always be like a subdomain (don't know if I'm using that nomenclature correctly) on your account?
Also, is there a way to truncate my URLs for these sites? Like when I type in www.bltmoto.com, it would exist and displays in the URL field of the browser as:
http://www.bltmoto.com/Home.html
instead of:
http://www.bltmoto.com/BLTMotoService/Home.html
Also, the page names in iWeb I designate also appear directly as typed in the URL address line and at the top of the browser title bar. Is there a way in iWeb to change this? I'd like the Title bar to display the company name and page info, such as:
"BLT Moto Service Home"
instead of just
"Home"
Is there a way to change or modify this within iWeb, or is this strictly a HTML code modification?
I know this is a lot and hopefully I've been clear enough in my description, please help if you can. Thank you

...the site that you have published first will be connected to your domain name....If the first site is published first, then this will be the first linked to your domain name and will come up.
Okay, I figured that may be the case for that issue, shortly after I asked the question, just didn't mess with the order to verify it.
Basically, iWeb site structure is to produce a url that is http://www.domain.com/sitename/pagename. The only way that you can change this if you are publishing to MME is to change the way in which you forward your domain name - change CNAME to ordinary web forwarding and then your url will be http://www.domain.com for every single page of your site. The only draw back to this is that individual pages of your site cannot be bookmarked, just the whole site.
Hmm, so I think I see what you're saying about the page structure, so no matter what I do while publishing and hosting on MME, the only way to have my domain name stay "www.bltmoto.com" is to change the CNAME setting on GoDaddy to "ordinary web forwarding" - I have no idea what that is or how to do it - but then every single site and page I publish will only have the "www.bltmoto.com" URL?
Your only other option is to purchase a hosting account from GoDaddy and upload your site directly - if you do this you can upload just the contents of your site folder rather than the whole folder itself and this will then give you the domain name www.domain.com/pagename. RSS feed will not work though, as you have broken iWeb's site structure and I see that you do use this so it might not be a viable option for you.
So is there no way to create separate websites with separate domains using iWeb, and publish them to other MME accounts or keep them separate? My dad wants me to put together a site for him that he would publish and host on his MME account. Does this mean I'd have to create it on his machine, or could I create a new iWeb file for his site and publish it to his account from my computer? Suddenly the convenience appeal of the marketed ability to host personal domain names on MME doesn't seem convenient at all.
I think maybe you addressed this on my other questions in another thread...

Publishing to personal domain

We have registered the name www.bitsyland.com for our site with godaddy. We are using a .mac account and publishing the site that way. i went through the steps with .mac to set up a personal domain, and their web site says that it is configured to host www.bitsyland.com. before doing this i added a CNAME through godaddy with alias web.mac.com that points to www.bitsyland.com. however now, when i enter www.bitsyland.com into the web site it takes me to a different site. The only problem is that the site it tries to bring up one letter is lowercase that needs to be uppercase, so it will not work. Is this a problem with godaddy or iweb or .mac. thanks

Here us an answer to that original question. i got it figured out.
It really
consisted of two things. (1) The CNAME entry had to be corrected so
that alias and destination were correct. (It sounds like the dot mac
instructions I was following were either wrong or misleading.)
And the tech support person at GoDaddy did a trick by setting up the
site to forward back to itself, which apparently is an easy way to
support addresses with and without the www. But perhaps the most
significant thing for me was that Safari didn't work correctly on the
site, so that my previous efforts to change the configuration were
stymied. Once I opened it with Firefox, everything worked. I have since
read that GoDaddy and Safari have a history of not playing well
together, but most of the issues have apparently been resolved.

IWeb and using my personal domain name.

I have never published a web site before and this is a first time for me.
With having iWeb version 8 installed I have created a website with photos etc.
I have also registered a domain name to use my personal name. This is the one and only web-site I have published.
The name has been set up for forwarding with the CName as web.mac.com with the host site in the section of ‘Masked forwarding’
And in my personal settings in the account manager on .Mac the correct name has been entered to use for my iWeb site. For example www.anthonyjhowe.com which is my registered name.
In the iWeb application under file I have published all my pages to .mac.
In my iDisk folder on the Internet there is a folder named “web/sites and inside this folder, there is my gallery but also a folder named AnthonyJHowe, this has all my pages I created in iWeb.
There is another folder named “iWeb. But inside this there is one file named sites.rss, and that is all. This is replicated on my iDisk on my desktop.
Now in iWeb when I publish all to .Mac I receive a message that my site can be visited using my domain name and would I like to visit or announce the site. This lists all the pages I have published.
When I click on visit, it takes me to the .Mac welcome screen and not my site.
That’s how far I have got. It’s been over 72 hours since I registered the domain name.
I have searched and read some posts about this but I don’t seem to go any further with this.
Could you give some suggestions please and perhaps point me in the right direction?

This iWeb’s Domain Forwarding feature that has you publish the site to your .Mac account and then uses your domain name as an alias for your Web site should be relative simple procedure, but with quite a lot of posts on this subject, including myself is not easy to set up and it should be as iWeb 08 is a consumer product. There is little information about this at present.
Getting in touch with the registrars can be quite daunting and eventually you may get one person in the office that may be able to help you. Apple's information to suggest you contact the Registrar of you domain host to create a CNAME does not help an ordinary consumer either.
My issue with the Personal Domain feature is that it places the burden of making the switch on the user, and it is far from a straightforward process and my unfortunate lack of experience has led me to ask the question in the first place.
This discussion forum seems to be the only place that gets close to helping you out.
As it stands, the instructions from Apple are extremely vague, mostly advising you to contact your domain name registrar. They give no indication of what to expect or do if things that aren’t working correctly. And that's why a lot ask the question in the first place in this discussion forum. However those who have experience in dealing with these matters may not always see your post.
I can usually work out problems to do with computing, but to be honest this one has me beat and yet it should be and probably is a simple procedure to carry out. But there is either very little information to carry out the procedure or confusing information elsewhere that makes the mind boggle.
The link below is the only information I can find from Apple to help you, unless someone knows of other information.

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 ....
