Protect  website in iweb

Hi 
Is there a way to password protect the website in iweb 12?

Password protection is done on the server and how you do it will depend on the facilities offered by your host...

If your host doesn't use WebShell you will need to create the .htaccess and .htpasswd files yourself. Google will find plenty of info about this subject.

  • Is There a way I can make a free password protected website with iWeb?

    Hi!
    I've been thinking to myself, "I want to make a free website". But I want it passcode protected and free. I am a mac kind of person so is there a way I can make a free passcode protected website with iWeb? I knwo you use to be able to do it with MobileMe, but that's outdated now so could someone please help!

    No, you cannot password protect a website with iWeb.
    And no, you don't have to be a Mac kind of person either.
    So how do they do it?

  • Can i password protect pages in iweb?

    id like to be able to do it with a username and password that i can issue to select people..

    Not in iWeb. You have to do it at the server side.
    Depending on where you host, you can password protect a site (a folder or directory) or a page.
    See your control panel where you host your site.
    Or you can do it yourself with a .htaccess file :
    http://www.google.com/search?q=password+protect+website+htaccess
    Here's a basic login :
    http://home.wyodor.net/protect
    username/password are : root/root
    Or if your server supports it, you can do it my way :

  • I have a password protected site in iweb, but how do I get my users to "sign out" so there not always logged in

    I built a password protected site in iweb and its published through mobileme. How do I get users to "sign out" so there not always logged in

    I wouldn't bother really - it would be best to concentrate your efforts now on finding another web host that you can move your site to because after the end of June this year, publishing to MobileMe won't be an option.
    Have a look at GoDaddy, HostExcellence etc. and you can still password protect your website, but you just do this through your host/server rather than MMe.
    Start looking now before it's too late!

  • HT201318 Hello. I have just built a website using iWeb but cannot upload it. I curently have the 25gb account. There doesn't appear to be any facility here for the net. ASm I correct in thinking I need an upgrade, or am I doing something wrong?  Thanks

    Hello. I have just built a website using iWeb but cannot upload it. I curently have the 25gb account. There doesn't appear to be any facility here for the net. Am I correct in thinking I need an upgrade, or am I doing something wrong?  Thanks

    iCloud does not provide website hosting. You will need to find another website hosting service - there are many to choose from - and upload your site there. How you do this depends on what version of iWeb you have.
    In order to upload your existing site in iWeb '09 and above:
    Click on the name of the site in the sidebar: the publishing settings pane will open. Set 'Publish to' to 'FTP'. Enter the name of the site and a contact address (if desired).
    In the 'FTP Server Settings' section you will need to know the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. Your site will be published in a folder with its name at root level of the server, with an index.html file at root level (which will overwrite any index.html file which may be there already). The 'Directory/Path' field may need to include a path such as '/webspace/' or 'ht_docs/' - this is dependent on your hosting service and they should tell you this. If you want to publish within a folder you can add that to the path.
    You can then click the 'Test connection' button so that iWeb can check that it can get access to your server space. You should enter the URL of the site in the 'URL' field so that rss feeds and internal links have the correct address.
    To publish using an earlier version of iWeb:
    From the File menu choose 'Publish to a folder'. You should create a folder somewhere convenient specifically for this and choose it when publishing to a folder: this folder should not contain anything else.
    You now need an FTP program (FTP is the 'protocol' used for uploading) to upload the contents of the folder to your server.Cyberduck is free (donation requested): Transmit is $34 but I think better. You will need the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. You can drag the contents of your folder to your webspace, or create a folder there and drag the contents to that if you prefer.
    Some facilities that iWeb provided when hosted on MobileMe will not work on other servers: comments on weblogs and photos, password-protecting your site (some hosts may provide this), searching in the weblog, and a hits counter (again, some hosts can provide code for this). Slideshows in iWeb will work on other hosts than MobileMe (they use different code when FTPing which doesn't depend on scripts hosted on MobileMe as the MobileMe version does); however there is an issue with the 'buttons' which control the slideshow which are images hosted on me.com - these depend on images which used to be hosted on MobileMe. The poster 'Old Toad' on the Apple Forums has provided a workaround, described at http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.26.html.

  • How to create website on iweb and make it public, and tell me how to put a password on it.

    Hi, can you tell me how to create website on iweb and make it public, and tell me how to put a password on it, thanks.

    Find a webhosting company :

    They will provide the instructions how to password protect a directory (=folder)?
    Until you find one, you can practice on your own computer :

  • Launching my Business' Website with iWeb '06

    I'll try to keep this brief. Here's where I stand thusfar:
    1.) I am putting together my small business' startup website using iWeb 06, due to its ease of use, having everything I need to make a nice startup site (particularly for my portfolio, blog & podcasting) & ability to update easily. However this WILL be a company site, so I need to find hosting besides mac.com.
    2.) I own my domain names through Godaddy.com. I do have it set up right now to forward these addresses to my mac.com site.
    3.) I need to add HTML code onto my site so I can have an opt-in list for those that want my newsletter.
    4.) Eventually I will be selling my own products on my site, which I plan to use Paypal to handle payment. But I need a digital delivery system for my products.
    I know there are many out there that have some great suggestions about programs & services that are ideal for the mac. Any info you could offer would be GREATLY appreciated. I am starting this up on a shoestring so money is a factor, however I see this as an investment & am willing to trade cash for ease of use (basically, if it's easy to use I'm willing to spend the cash on it).
    Thank you

    Hey, thanks for your quick and helpful answer!
    I wasn't sure it could be done with iWeb, since I tried to do it with my godaddy hosting package, and their off-the-rack website builder didn't allow for html code to be pasted. guess, iWeb allows for that.
    My webdesigner told me, iWeb wasn't suitable for professional business websites (video & audio files, newsletters, autoresponders, password protected members' area, the works), only for granny sharing her fotos with her family... seems, he was wrong
    thanks again,
    Orlando

  • Website Performance, IWeb velocity

    Hello,
    i published a Website with IWeb and the performance is state of the art, when using my Mac and may DSL Internet connection. On some computers the perfomance is terrible slow. It takes a lot of time when pages are building up and you can see the page being set together of the particular details (pictures, textboxes etc.).
    In most ofe the cases it was a help to change from the terrible MSIE to Firefox or something else. But are there other tools or tricks to eccelerate the website? I am allready using Webcrusher, what safes up to 20% of data volume.
    Did a make a basic mistake when designing the page layout?
    The content is moderate compaired with other pages and i didnt use to much pictures and no big sized files like sound or clips.
    Can anybody help?
    Thanks
    Matthias

    Sorry about the delay - I've just been trying out!
    WSM will add the website folder on the iDisk from the "Configure" menu. It then optimizes the files and puts them in the WSM output folder on your hard drive. Probably not the answer you want to hear!
    For me to try putting the output folder on my iDisk would cause me big problems but I don't see why it couldn't be done.
    WSM will, of course, optimize and upload back to your iDisk, from the output folder, in one pass.
    If you need a better answer, you can email Ton Brand at...

  • Password protect website

    Hi
    I need to password protect the website. The objective is to have simple security so that if a user accidentially hits this site he will get this password pop-up and will be able to distinguish between other site which is hosted on other server.
    Server is on W2K m/c and no LDAP is available.
    I tried adding a username to File realm and denying permissions to all except that user in default ACL but that didnt help.
    HELP....
    TIA
    Vaibhav

    The "Password Protection" feature of iWeb works only to protect entire sites...not individual pages. The workaround, then, is to make the page that you want to protect a separate site in and of itself and password protect it. You can then create hyperlinks to this password protected site from your regular iWeb site.
    If you find this information useful or if it offers a solution to your problem, please mark this reply either as "solved" or "helpful" using the little buttons in the title bar of this reply. Thanks!

    I am building a website using IWEB, on my computer, and I am stuck suddenly, the page I made yesterday is hidden by another page and I cannot pursue..
    Is there a way to learn the process, also I see a contradiction with ILIFE 2011, reading about an announcement of Steve Jobs....? that iWeb would not longer be??

    How is the first page hidden by the other page?  Where are you experiencing this problem?  In iWeb's window or in the browser window of the published site? 
    Are you referring to the page's link in your navbar?  If so check the Inspector/Page/Page pane for the "hidden" page and make sure it's set to be included in the navbar. If that's not the problem describe in detail what you mean and include any screenshots you can make of the problem.
    As far as the longevity of iWeb read the following:
    As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store.  To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

  • How do I add a favicon to my website through iWeb?

    Hello,
    I built my website through iWeb.  I am wondering if it is possible to add my favicon to my website through iWeb.
    Thanks,
    Lora

    You can use any image as a favicon.
    Save an image as .pgn, .jpg or .gif and rename it favicon.ico
    Put it in the root of the server.
    Any modern browser will find it. No need to add code to a page.
    Here are some I use :

  • Multiple Websites using iWeb

    I currently created one website through iweb. www.michelemcloughlin.com
    I now want to create multiple websites for clients, friends etc. Is it possible to do this? I have iLife 08, what would be the best way to do this?
    help!!!

    Do you think its easier to buy ilife 09 and not need to go through this process of individual folders?
    Michele ~ I think it's better to keep sites for different clients and friends each in their own iWeb Domain file — but that's just a personal opinion and others may differ.
    Also, I have a mac account, if I were to design another website for a client do they need to buy hosting as well in addition to their domain name?
    As above, I think it's better for clients and friends each to have their own hosting and domain name — although it's not necessary. Perhaps it wouldn't be inconvenient for you to have a close friend's site hosted on your MobileMe account. Also, there are some restrictions regarding setting up multiple domain names to a single MobileMe account — read more here:

    With iLife 09 is the back up necessary.
    Backups are always necessary — your Mac's internal HD could crash at any moment. Do you have a plan for when that happens? ...There are only two types of HD: Those that have crashed and those that haven't — yet:

    I had previously designed my website in iWeb and published it, i then had to wipe my hard drive but backed everything up, now i can't seem to open or import my old website back into iweb, any help please?

    John ~ In your backup, look for Domain.sites2 file which is usually located here:
    ...Double clicking that file should open it in iWeb.

  • Can I make another website using iWeb,then publish it to a different server through the SMTP panel on iWeb

    Can I make another website using iWeb, and then publish it to a different server through the SMTP panel on iWeb, even though I have a website published on mobile me, can I just use the SMTP engine to publish a different site but to a different server, that's the question I'm asking. I'm hoping for a quick reply. Thank you for your time in reading this.

    Yes.  You can do it one of two ways: 
    1 - select FTP Server in the Publish To menu (click on the site folder to get to the options) and enter the FTP address, username and password and publish as you would if using MMe.
    2 - select Publish to Folder and publish. Use a 3rd party FTP client like  Cyberduck to upload the site files to there server using the FTP address, etc.
