Personal domain settings

I can't publish my webstite on the personal domain I bought - does someone knows where's the mistake?
A. I used my .Mac membership and iWeb '08 (2.0.2)
B. I bought my personal domain www.massimodifelice.com at http://we.register.it/
C. I went on my account at .Mac, selected "personal domain" and followed instructions
D. On the control panel of my domain name registrar's web hosting area I added the new CNAME
E. My website isn't visible, even if more than 48 hours past
these are the details that appears on the control panel of my domain name registrar's web hosting area:
CONFIGURAZIONE DNS
massimodifelice.com - MX 10 - mail.register.it
massimodifelice.com - A - 195.110.124.133
ftp.massimodifelice.com - CNAME - massimodifelice.com
web.mac.com - CNAME - massimodifelice.com
www.massimodifelice.com - CNAME - massimodifelice.com
pop.massimodifelice.com - CNAME - mail.register.it
Is that right?
Thanks

I'd suggest reading the first half of this post, it was written for GoDaddy but should be applicable.

Web Forwarding vs Personal Domain Settings - Confused

I would be grateful if someone could shed some light on this.
1) What is the difference between using web forwarding via my registra to configuring .Mac to point to my domain ? - Are there any pros or cons ?
2) I have recently acquired two personal domains (one family, one personal) currently configured that each domain is forwarded to a specific url in .Mac is this the best way to manage two sites ?
Many Thanks

My experience with Web Forwarding on iWeb 1.1 was that that your .mac accounts URL is what appeared in the browser (person types domain and it forwarded to your .mac account). In our case, we wanted the domain to be displayed so we also enabled Web Masking which forces the domain.com to be displayed for ALL pages. Please note that Masking makes all pages have the same URL so someone cannot bookmark a particular page or send a link to a friend (all URLs point to the home page). Masking also prevented outbound links to other sites from working as we were linking pictures out to a commerce site where the item could be purchased (because displayed URL was not the actual page).
With the CNAME implementation in iWeb 2.0, the domain appears correctly in the Browser with different URLs for each page (in format www.domain.com/user/page.html). This is an improvement for us as individual pages can now be bookmarked and emailed as links.
This is solely my experience. Others, may have different opinions.

Personal Domain problem.

I am unable to reverse (cancel, annul, stop, call off, scratch, scrub) the link that has somehow or other been created between Mobile Me and a domain, hosted by GoDaddy, that I own but never use.
So, when I update my iWeb pages and 'publish changes' and then visit my site I find myself on the GoDaddy site.
I admit that I recently discovered that it was possible to have a Mobile Me site forwarded and I even looked at the page in GoGdaddy where it was possible to change the CNAME. however, I did not complete the process.
I have spoken to customer support at GoDaddy, who have been very accommodating, and they assure me that they have cleared any links, but the problem persists.
What next?
Any clues, anyone?
Cordially,
David Amies

Of course there is!
Log into your MobileMe account under System Preferences and then go to the Personal preferences section. Under there you will find on the left hand side, Personal Domain Settings. Click on this and where your personal domain name is entered, there will also be a delete button on the right hand side. Click on delete and your domain is removed.

New personal domain problem

So it seems that my personal domain isn't working as hoped.
My CNAME alias was configured but it's acting funky.
This points to the current changes I'm making in iWeb.

This points to the old page that was created in iWeb 1.0
http://mingistech.com
Not sure how to correct this issue.... any information would be much appreciated.

No joy with Personal Domain

Hi,

Cname settings help needed for a Network Solutions Personal Domain

Hi-
I've purchased a personal domain name from Network Solutions. I've followed the instructions that Apple has given me, and have specified "web.mac.com" as the alias name, as well as specifying "www" in the drop down box in the next field to the right of the alias field. I've also set up my personal domain name on the Apple side. However, after 48 hours, I'm still seeing the "site under construction page" from Network Solutions when I go to view my personal domain. I confirmed on the Apple side that iWeb was now using my personal domain name, and I was also able to confirm that my domain name was/is pointing to web.mac.com. What am I doing wrong? Does anybody out there with a Network Solutions domain name have any experience with this?

Did you ever get an answer on this?

Iweb was not publishing changes to my personal domain name, AND now it won't let me publish at all!

Hi, i am new to the apple community so bare with me whilst i struggle to explain...
I recently purchased a hosting site through netregistry.net. www.toyboxtherapies.com.au I spoke to them to allow the changes to the CNAME through their site.They did this for me. Once they did this my original 3 page site that I had published to mobileme came up.
When i added changes to the site, none of them were published even though iweb said they had been. I gave the site 48 hours (well, i gave them a week) to update the changes.
I went to double check today and now iweb wont let me publish to my domain name at all, it just lists File>Set up personal domain on mobile me.
When I log into mobile me my domain name is there. I have tried removing t and setting it up again, but nothing is happening with iweeb. Still the same problem.
Please help! I am trying to get this business off the ground and its all very frustrating!

This is what I see in a Lookup :
; <<>> DiG 9.6-ESV-R4-P3 <<>> www.toyboxtherapies.com.au cname +multiline +nocomments +nocmd +noquestion +nostats +search
;; global options: +cmd
www.toyboxtherapies.com.au. 3600 IN CNAME web.me.com.
It means that the CNAME record points to MobileMe.
So go where you manage your domain and delete the CNAME record and change the A-record(s) to point to your new webhost.
It takes some time for the changes to propagate thru the internet. A minimum of 20 minutes.
Note that when you publish to MobileMe, iWeb recieves the domainname information from the MobileMe server. Only when you publish elsewhere you have to enter the domainname. But if you do not change the settings where you host your domainname, it still directs to MMe. But that's beyond iWeb.

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!

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.

How do you set up more than one Personal domain name to your .Mac account

I have registered 3 domain names changed all the cnames to web.mac.com.
Now on the menu to set Personal domain on my .Mac account it only lets you add 0ne Domain name?
How do we add more or is there a limit?

You can only set one domain name. You can of course use other means to forward the other two to the one you have put in your .Mac Account Settings.

How to cancel "set up personal domain"

Does anyone know how I cancel the "set up personal domain" in iWeb 2.0? I changed my mind halfway through the set-up process (I clicked Personal Domain in my Account Settings, entered my domain name, but haven't defined my CNAME on my registrar's website). Now it looks like I can't access either my iWeb files OR my personal domain name! Thanks for your help!

How to use iPhoto web gallery with iWeb & personal domain name

So, another question about iWeb 08:
I've set up my site to use a personal domain name, like www.mypersonaldomain.com. I've configured everything with my DNS settings so that it actually points to my iWeb site, and I'm happy about that.
However, I've imported a few iPhoto '08 web galleries into my site, but when I browse to them by going to www.mypersonaldomain.com and clicking on the link for my gallery, it goes to a URL that actually shows my .mac account, i.e. gallery.mac.com/sockdaddy/gallery1/photo.jpg
Is there any way to have the web galleries that I'm using become a more transparent part of my iWeb site, and use my personal domain?

I've never done this on .Mac but I do use this on my server. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
In iPhoto select your web gallery and in the "file" menu select "export" and then "Web Page".
Select your options and click "Export" to the desktop.
There are now 4 folders and an index.html file.
Change the name of the index file to whatever you want to call the page e.g WebGallery.html
Now go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and open your website folder.
Drag and drop the 4 folders and the html file from your desktop into this.
Create a link to this from your website in the "link" inspector and choose "external page".
The URL for the link will be the same as any other page on your site except WebGallery is substituted for the page name.
If you check the "open link in new window" you won't have to worry about the fact that you don't have a link back to your site from the WebGallery page.

IWeb 08 Personal Domain Setup - HELP!!!

I own a domain through Godaddy and host my iWeb site on .Mac. I have always used Godaddy's domain forwarding to redirect www.lucascantor.com to web.mac.com/lucascantor. Now that Apple has included a personal domain feature in iWeb, I followed their instructions to set up my site so that instead of redirecting to web.mac.com/lucascantor, www.lucascantor.com simply is the url. Now www.lucascantor.com just goes to a Godaddy page. I have waited 48 hours and nothing has changed. Even if I re-enable domain forwarding, I still see the godaddy page in place of my site.
My settings look like this:
Apple: http://tinyurl.com/34dlp4
Godaddy: http://tinyurl.com/33k75x
Somebody please let me know if there is something I need to change,
Thanks!

You have two ways to use a personal domain name with .Mac:
a) The one which has already been available for years, namely using domain forwarding and masking. I guess that is what you are doing now
b) The new one which has you make a CNAME entry. This has a number of advantages over a), including a url in the browser address bar of the form http://www.mydomain.com/sitename/pagename.html, no forwarding/masking involved.
If the place you have your domain does not let you do b), then you are stuck with a) or you need to change the place where your name is located.
If you want something else, best host your site on a different server, as least for the next couple years.

Quick Question - Setting up Personal Domain with godaddy

Hi there
Just a quick question to make sure I've done this correctly?
Ok, I've published my iWeb website.
I've purchased a personal domain with godaddy.
I've set up the personal domain in my mobile me account.
I then logged into my godaddy account and went to 'Total DNS Control and MX Records'
I changed the following under CNAME (Aliases)
www web.me.com 1 Hour
and then added a new CNAME Record
www.*******.com web.me.com 1 Hour
Have I done this all correctly?
Will it take a few hours to take effect?
Anything else I need to consider?
Thanks for reading.
Ross

CNAME settings can take up to 24 hours to take effect.
As long as you have forwarded your domain name to web.me.com, then it should be okay.
