Personal Web Page Discontinuence

@TwoCables et al Thank you for that information TwoCables, I didn't even notice it until you told me. We can certainly keep our fingers crossed! I apologize to everyone if I was mistaken about our email space allotment, I was going from a post by user madylarian who is normally quite accurate in respoinses.. Here's the thread that I got that figure from. I also thought that I recently read that on a Comcast or Xfinity site recently. Additionally an Internet search shows many links stating 10GB. Now I'm not sure! Darn it all anyway! Early morning tomorrow so I'm off to bed. Here's to wishing a pleasant evening to everyone!

Thank you for your reply TwoCables. The following is the textual content of the email Comcash sent me regarding the closure of the Personal Web Pages. In my email it doesn't say anything about a new service provider. Perhaps they noticed their mistake, retracted (Unsent?) their first email, annotated it and then resent it? The email text follows, starting with the title then heading the body. "Service Update: We're discontinuing Personal Web Pages We're discontinuing personal web pages JOHN DOE, whether you are actively using XFINITY Personal Web Pages or set one up in the past, we want to let you know that we're going to make some changes to this service. As of October 8, 2015, the Personal Web Page (feature of XFINITY Internet) service will be discontinued. By October 8, 2015, you should go into your personal web page and save pictures and anything else that you may have put on your personal web page onto your computer. Once the service is discontinued, you will no longer have access to your web pages and your files will be deleted. We value your business and hope you enjoy all our other XFINITY Internet benefits. Sincerely, Your XFINITY Team"At the very top in difficult-to-notice print (in the darker area, above the white area), there's text that says "Please retrieve all of the content from your site by October 8th", followed by a link that says "Learn more", bringing you to this page: http://customer.xfinity.com/help-and-support/internet/customize-your-website-or-personal-web-page/?rid=23393686&mid=20150716_CM_PWPService&CCT=53BA3D76CB1473BFF49C79FE4AA86DFF1EE2DE626F409A59AEEF73619D6325CC415B7DE532A8E6E236CF87C3E15B0BF7E3AA330237D1BC6491279BEC6BBC74AF2944FB1F467E9C028828BB59C6042177DF8D45135389EF02F85E1295C661ADF5B300D7FEAA461983BD22903255ECBA37D94F3B664FF1B276DB2C78981E7C31B2E19DE095A8DC6E76 Yeah, whoever created this e-mail has a lot to learn. It took me a long time to finally notice this part of it. I would have put this in the white area, right in the body of the e-mail. How many people actually saw it? 5? Maybe 10 people? I would hope more, but with the way they designed this e-mail message, I wouldn't be surprised if I learned that 95% of people missed it. Who has time to be examining an e-mail message that closely?

Any way we can force Comcast to -NOT- remove our personal web pages?

Weren't personal web pages in our service agreements? Is anyone filing a class action?

Weren't personal web pages in our service agreements? Is anyone filing a class action? No, it wasn't in our service agreements. It was a free service that we weren't being charged extra for (it was never listed as an extra charge). It was included, and nowhere did it state that it would always exist or that it couldn't be taken away, etc. Nowhere did it state that Comcast couldn't screw us if they decided that it would be in their best interest. Also, Comcast wouldn't care about a Class Action Lawsuit. The amount of people that are being affected by this are an extremely tiny fraction of 1% of their entire customer base (so, we are far less than 1% of their entire customer base). I mean, we're just a couple hundred people out of millions of customers. Go ahead and ask the average Comcast customer if they even know what this is all about. I bet most people would be like, "What? Are you saying that they're taking away our e-mail? I didn't get any notice about this! OMG!" Sigh. Customers who didn't have files in the PWP space didn't receive a notice on this. They're completely oblivious to what's going on here. So yeah, we are the minority of the minority of the minority (of the minority, etc.). If we assume that 500 people are affected and if we assume that Comcast has exactly 1 million customers, then that would mean that this only affects 0.0005% of their customers. Think about that for a few minutes. This would have to affect hundreds of thousands of their customers for them to even care a LITTLE bit. So, we're screwed. If we filed a Class Action Lawsuit, then Comcast would be like, "Aw, they're so cute. Hey Bob, come take a look at this. Isn't that just about the most adorable thing you've ever seen?" Then Bob would call in the rest of the employees, "Hey guys! You gotta see this! LOL" Then you'd hear a collective, "Aawwww... " and someone might be like, "not even my own baby is that cute!" We're like a tiny insignificant little bug that is no more important than a speck of dust. We practically don't even really exist. If 500 people suddenly cancelled their subscription over this, then Comcast would be like, "LOL Oh noes! hahahahaha So anyway...." That's pretty much how it is. They are just that big. They don't care, and they never will.

End of personal web pages

I have been a Comcast customer for decades. And I have used personal web pages most of that time. It has ALWAYS been part of the featires in the contract. But now you blood-sucking beggers are screwing your customer once again taking away a feature that we have assumed was a part of the basic agreement. SHAME ON YOU!!

Bellsouth Personal Web Pages

Hi all,
I played with iWeb for the first time last week when I had some time off work. I do not have .mac so I have to publish via FTP, which is acceptable, although admittedly it would be nice if Apple included built-in publishing to other than .mac sites.
I published a photo page to my church web site (I am the webmaster) with no problem, and everyone is impressed. I created a quick test personal web site with several pages and published to my Bellsouth personal web pages (I am a Bellsouth DSL customer). Via the FTP client (PW FTP X), everything appears to be there with the correct folder structure, but when I browse to any page, all I get is a blank white screen. Just for a test I tried publishing the exact same personal site and pages to my AOL Members Web Space (we use AOL for Email) also using PW FTP X and once I got it all up there (a chore in itself on a Mac) everything worked beautifully. Anyone know what gives with Bellsouth? I have had an Email request in to their tech support for a few days, but have not heard anything back. I would really rather use Bellsouth for my personal site since AOL doesn't fully support FTP from a Mac.
Thanks.
Steve

Actually, even the Fetch documentation highlights the problems with AOL in that you either have to use Dial-up or OS9 to FTP to their space. See:
http://fetchsoftworks.com/Support/faq5.html#HowConnectAOLFTP
There is a better workaround but it involves reconfiguring your network connections via UNIX terminal commands, which is what I did. See:
http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/ftp/macosx.html
It seems to me it would be possible to taylor an FTP client (or even iWeb itself!) to handle the above for AOL.
I will give some thought to listing my URL(s), although I'm not thrilled with the idea of publicly identifying my personal family web space here. I just thought somebody who had dealt with Bellsouth might know of an answer. I have noted that iWeb does generate Java scripts, but Bellsouth's on-line documentation says Java scripts are supported.

Once again less service for more money ~ Personal Web Pages being discontinued!!!

Once again I would like to thank COMCAST for being cheap and money hungry. I use my personal web pages daily. This will create a lot of work and take a lot of time to move thing to another server that I will have to pay for on top of paying for internet service with COMCAST. Way to go. This will only cost me time and money once again. Stop being so cheap!!!! Bob

Yep. I'm extremely angry about this! I have been using the web space for years in order to upload helpful files to other people on Overclock.net such as screenshots, important setup files, important Windows files that someone might have lost, zip files containing a bunch of files that someone desperately needs, etc. etc. etc. That's years of uploading, and so it's years of files! Now that's being stripped away from me. Why? This is 2015, not 1985. It's not hard to provide storage space these days. Good lord. Comcast, are you really hurting for storage space on your servers? You have stolen our money for years, so the least you can do is let us keep our web spaces. I have created 7 different accounts on my Comcast account so that I could have 7 GB of storage space, which I have used quite well over the years. So now I have to sit here downloading ALL OF MY FREAKIN' FILES, and then I have to take them to some other location! Then, I have to go and update hundreds of links on Overclock.net and hundreds of screenshots in hundreds of posts that act as ARTICLES - not just posts. If I don't do that, then I'll have people asking me every single day why my links are broken and why my screenshots aren't showing up. Comcast, you sure know how DISSATISFY your customers I hate you now. I genuinely do. You have ruined my day, Comcast. I was actually having a good day for once, until you sent out the e-mail telling all of us about this.

Personal web pages

our web pages were set up under [email protected] how am I supposed to get to my pages to upload all our pics from our pages?

Sorry, I just put that in as a placeholder; I don't know if my real IP is sensitive to release to the public or not. Anyhow, the one listed is NOT the "Home" IP, it's closer to 192.168.2.354/~Alex
Addresses beginning with 192 are private and posting the address is perfectly safe. Nearly everyone has 192.168.1.1 as their router gateway.
These addresses do not and cannot propagate over the internet.
That being said, the address 127.0.0.1
or simply
localhost
should also work from the machine that the Apache is running on. The 192. address is only needed if you are connecting from another machine on the same internal LAN.

Personal web pages sharing denied

I upgraded to leopard over the weekend and now my site folder will not function as a web server. My attempts to open http://localhost/~myusername/ return a 403 permission denied error. Web sharing preferences panel link is active and when clicked returns the apache installation successful page. The thing is I get this page when using the http://192.168.x.x/ address, but not when using http://192.168.x.x/~myuserid. There is only one user on the computer and it is me, I should have all permissions. Web sharing is turned on and the sites fold was working fine as a testing sever before I upgraded. How do I fix this, I find the help screens for setting up the web server to be extremely brief.

I had this same problem.
It appears that when an "Upgrade" is installed, it does not install a xxxx.conf file in the folder:
etc/apache2/users
Here is what I did.
1. In your System Preferences "Accounts" panel, turn on sharing for the Guest
This creates a file in etc/apache2/users
2. On the main menu bar select the "Go" item and then down to "Go to Folder"
Type in etc/
3. In the etc folder open up the "apache2" folder and then open up the "users" folder
4. In there you will find the newly created "Guest.conf"
Copy this to your desktop
5. Open this up using text edit and replace the username inside of this file instead of Guest to your short username...
Also rename the file from Guest.conf to your short username.conf
example: xxxx.conf
6. Put this file back into the etc/apache2/users/ folder.
It will ask you to authenticate.... Do so...
Restart your Web Sharing and the Web Sharing should be working just fine.
Mine does.

Personal Web Page Error Message

Has anyone else had problems with the website builder? Last night I was on the phone with tech support for 2 hrs trying to figure out why I can't add pictures to my website. Everytime I tried to add photos or text I got the message, " The type of item you are attempting to insert has not been implemented."
It was finally recommended that I delete my page and start from scratch, which I did and still I got the same error.
Anyone have this problem and has a solution for me.
Thanks

I am able to add images to my personal webspace without any issue. If you can give me some more information about the process you are using, maybe I can play with it a little and see if I can find a solution.
What browser and version are you using?
What format are the images you are trying to add? (.bmp, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg...?)
How large are the files?
Can you give me a step-by-step of the path you are taking to upload the files?
Have you tried uploading the files from a different location? (For instance, if they are in your My Documents folder, try moving them to your Desktop and upload from there.)
Using an FTP client is a valid workaround, but if there's something broken then Verizon or Trellix (or both) need to fix it.
If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.

Google says GOOGLEBOT can't access my Verizon made Personal Web Page -- can't crawl it

I recently added my website (it's one page) to Google, and it was verified I think.
But here is a message from Google's Webmaster Tools about their GOOGLEBOT...
---------------------- Google message-----------------------------
Over the last 24 hours, Googlebot encountered 1 errors while attempting to connect to your site. Your site's overall connection failure rate is 100.0%. You can see more details about these errors in Webmaster Tools.
Recommended action
Verify that the web service software for your site is installed and running properly.
Verify that your firewall or server are not blocking googlebot's access to your site.
Verify that all scripts that run on your site have proper permissions to run.
Verify that your site has proper permissions to access the pages of your site.
Using Webmaster Tools, find a day with a high error rate and examine the logs for your web server for that day. Look for errors in the logs for that day and fix the causes of those errors.
Your site may be overloaded. Talk with your hosting provider about either reconfiguring your web server or allocating more resources to your web server.
-------------------------------------------------------------End of message----------------------------------------
On google website (Tools), they also say there is a "server connectivty problem" .
I've checked the various actions mentioned above and all is fine, except about server. I wouldn't know how to address that.
My verizon webpage shows up fine on the internet when I type the URL. But I'd like to let Google crawl it, even though I'm not sure of the benefits of that. I just want everything to work fine.
Does anyone know about Googlebots, and how to fix this issue?
Many thanks!

Solved!

This issue is somewhat solved by another posting.

Using query strings in links mysite.verizon web pages

Has anyone had trouble using query strings in links to other web pages your personal web pages? I have a link to another web page where I pass an ID using query string but when I click on the link I get a 404 error even though the web page exists (the link appears fine).

Personal web site not showing up.

Problem:
neither web sites appear when using 192.168.2.149 ip addresses.
blah, blah . . . so, after setting the Personal Web Sharing tab, the bottom tells me that I can access the computer web site via http://192.168.149 and my personal web page via http://192.168.2.149/~calbruin.
When opening the links, nothing shows up but the error saying that server is not found.
When I type 127.0.0.1, that gives the generic computer web page (found in Library/Webserver/Documents) alerting me that Apache is installed.
Question is, why does not the 192.168... address work and why not the personal Sites Folder accessible via 192.168....?

The only change was turning off and then turning on the Personal Web Sharing.
Most likely needs this...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Trash this file...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Set up Sharing again.

ICloud and web page

Hi!
Is it possible to publish a personal web page on iCloud so it could be accessible with Ipad or Iphone?

No. iCloud doesn't offer web hosting.

More than one web page on .Mac?

I already have a personal web page set up, but would like to set up a page for my Rotary Club. I don't want everyone to have to go thru my personal photos, etc just to see Club calendars and upcoming events. Can I have more than one site if I have storage room available?

rcfgunkie,
Welcome to the discussions.
Navigate to your Web/Sites folder on your iDisk using the Go menu in Finder, and following this path:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb
In the Sites folder on the iDisk, and above/next to the iWeb folder, you will see an index.html file. Using the Finder again, create a new folder on your desktop and name it iWebIndexFile. Drag the index.html file from the iDisk Site folder into this new folder. It will be copied there. You will use this file again later to bring your short .Mac url back to your original site, as it is now, should you decide to.
Close iWeb.
Create a new folder on your desktop, and name it for the new site.
Navigate to your Domain file, following this path.
While holding down the option key, drag this Domain file into the new folder. It will be copied there. Create another folder on the desktop, and name it BackUpDomain. Option-drag the Domain file again, into the BackUpDomain folder. Now place this backup folder in your Documents folder. Close the Finder window, and open the folder which is named for the new site. Double-click on the Domain file inside.
iWeb will launch, and you will see your site as you have always seen it. The first thing you need to do is rename this site in the Site Organizer, giving it the name of your new site. Otherwise, it will overwrite the existing site on the iDisk when you publish it. Now delete the pages you do not want to keep, and create your new Welcome/Home page with the appropriate links in the navigation menu for this "new" site. You may also need to rename your pages. File/Publish to .Mac.
You now have two separate Domain files, containing two separate sites. When you launch iWeb, the application will open the last site that you edited. Create another folder, and name it for the original site. Navigate back to the path you used earlier for your Domain file, and again, holding down the option key, drag this Domain file into the new folder which has the name of your original site. Now you have two folders on your Desktop, each containing a individual Domain file, for your two sites. (You also have a backup of your original Domain file containing your original site, in your Documents Folder.) Create one more folder, name it Domains, and place both of these "Site" folders inside of this folder for good organization. From now on, to open either of your sites, choose the appropriate Site folder in the Domain folder, open it, and double-click on the Domain file inside. iWeb will open that site for you.
If your short .Mac url is pointing to the "new" site, and you do not wish for it to, navigate back to your Sites folder on your iDisk and replace the index.html file with the one you copied earlier; also, use the copied index.html file to replace the one in the iWeb folder which is next door to the Sites folder. Your short .Mac url will now point back to your original site, and you will access your "new" site using the url web.mac.com/username/iWeb/nameofnewsite.

Can I design a web page to use the background image from the user's installed persona?

I build web applications, and I would like to have an application use the background image from whatever persona the visitor has installed, if any. Is this possible, using css/js/html?

No that is not possible with code on web pages (userContent.css could probably do this).<br />
The persona is only used as the background for the user interface (toolbar) area and not for websites.<br />
The dimensions of the persona with the height of 200px is also not enough to cover a page.
