Publish iweb site with out changing domain name?

When you go to my website (hmstechnology.com) it changes it to this:
http://hmstechnology.com/hmstechnology/HOME.html
I was uploading via iWeb. Now I am ready to go back to filezilla so that I can just have my domain name remain hmstechnology.com when people visit.
Any suggestions on why Filezilla is changing my domain name, or iWeb for that matter? How can I fix this?
Greatly appreciated,
Phil

This is not so much an iWeb problem as a limitation of your server. If you switch to a hosting company that allows you to name your root folder the same as your domain name and you upload the files only, you will get the URL without the extra folder name.
Having the page name in the URL box is not really a big deal as nobody has to enter it into the browser. If your site is uploaded to a folder named - iberianpigati - and the domain name is pointed at the index.html file inside this folder, all that has to be entered into the browser is...
iberianpigati.com
.... for anybody to get to your landing page.
As has been pointed out, you could forward your domain name using masking/cloaking but this is a very poor choice from the point of view of SEO and bookmarking. If you are more concerned with the look of your individual page URLs than people actually finding your site then masking would be the way to go.

How do I publish iWeb site with Cyberduck??

Hi there,
I am trying and trying, but I can't figure it out. Can anybody help me and tell me how to publish an iWeb site with Cyberduck??
Thank you so much!
Marc

Okay, this is not complicated at all.
When you want to publish an iWeb site to some place other than MobileMe, then you publish to a folder of your choice on your hard drive and iWeb will create all the files needed. It will create one folder that has the same name that you called your website inside iWeb plus an index.html page. So if you called your site Site in iWeb, then when you publish to a folder, your folder will be called Site, plus the index.html page.
You then need to open Cyberduck and enter your ftp info, plus your username and password and then you click on open connection. Once you click on open connection you will be connected to your hosting service and there will be a folder there called Public_html. You then need to upload your folder plus index.html file from your hard drive and once these have been uploaded, you just drag and drop them into the Public_html folder on your web space. To upload in Cyberduck, just click on Action at the top and click on Upload. Once you click here you will be shown all the files on your hard drive and all you need do is go to the folder where you site is stored and then click on index.html and it will be uploaded and then click on Site or whatever your site is called and upload this and it will be uploaded.
It is not difficult at all, but you do need to know what you are doing.

Publish to .mac with an existing domain name

I was wondering if anyone has published to .mac with and existing domain and kept it. I have had my business under this domain name for 15 years and do not want to change it at this time.
Thanks

I believe the issue is solved as the domain now points correctly to BC servers , it was probably a propagation delay.
Thanks,

Publishing iWeb Site on a Personal Domain

Hi,
I'm having a lot of trouble publishing my site to a personal domain. I am using iWeb 08 and am publishing via MobileMe and domains.com is my host. For some reason, I just can't get the site to publish on my personal domain. My personal domain is registered on MobileMe and the CNAME is programmed into the domains.com DNS management area. What's going on that's not allowing it to appear?? The site is just blank...please help!

Works fine for me too, but not if you place the www before your domain name. If you want this too, you may need to go back to your DNS settings and set up a new CNAME for your domain name that includes the www part too, but only if you want to.

Publishing iWeb site to .Mac personal domain

I set up Personal Domain on .Mac & added the cname on my account with Network Solutions & are waiting for the changes to take effect now. But I have 2 sites in iWeb. How do I get the right site on the personal domain.

Hi again,
My Problem is that it is not clear how to redirect mlwhall.com --> www.mlwhall.com
Since CNAME is for aliases, I am not sure how to point mlwhall.com since that is the root name. The A (host) will only take an IP address, so I assume that if I am going to do this I need to do it in the CNAME section (pinging did not get me a useable IP address). I cannot believe I am the only person that wants to do this -- setting up domain forwarding does not seem to work either
Is it not common for people to want to have www.blah.com and blah.com to resolve to the same place?
----Martin----
And yes -- I meant to say that I made a CNAME alias for www that points to web.mac.com as pointed out in the personal domain instructions.

Why does FF 21 not open a site with a given domain name in Amazon-it will open img from that domain and will work if we provide a new domain name to same kit

We host a site on Amazon Ec2.
FIrefox will not load the page - it just times out after loading half the images etc on it
If we take the same site and give it the Machine Name the Amazon server on which the site resides, it will work.
If we give the Amazon server a domain name, it will work.
If we try to load a part of the page, like an image with the original (i.e. not working domain name) it will work.
Any ideas of possible causes?
Is there any way to force Firefox to see a site as friendly?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Publishing iWeb site with FTP

My registered domain is www.peuterspeelzaalrisdam.nl/
When I upload with FTP iWeb is adding 'file' to my domain, so www.peuterspeelzaalrisdam.nl/file
So nobody will find the site because of this added 'file'
What can I do to change that???? Anybody solutions?
regards Hans de Lange - the Netherlands

Publish to a folder and upload only the contents of the folder named "file" using a free ftp app like Cyberduck.

I can't publish my site with an existing domain.

I bought a domain from www.nominalia.com, and I can't, or don't know how to, publish my website.
Nominalia updated the DNS to this:
NS1.WORLDSECURESYSTEMS.COM 54.236.190.129
NS2.WORLDSECURESYSTEMS.COM 54.246.209.121
NS3.WORLDSECURESYSTEMS.COM 54.252.148.151
but the website still doesn't work.
I don't know what to do, please help me.

I believe the issue is solved as the domain now points correctly to BC servers , it was probably a propagation delay.

Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get - 404: Page not found This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-is the problem with iweb or with hosting? T

I am sorry if thie is republished-My first time doing this and I am not sure what goes where and where to hear feedback.
Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get -
404: Page not found
This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-
Troubleshooting suggestions:
Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.
Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists
is the problem with
iweb or with hosting?
One Apple tech started to fix Iweb and had to end session and the next said problem with hosting at Network Solutions as it published
to local folder. NWS has checked sttting a few times-
Any help would be extremely appreciated as trying to fix this for about five weeks
Thanks VG
<Email Edited by Host>

It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

I have a mobleme account and an existing iweb website. I would like to create a second website with a registered domain name. How do I do this?

I have a mobleme account and an existing iweb website. I would like to create a second website with a registered domain name. How do I do this?

All you need to do is create your second site in iWeb, move it to the top of lhe list of sites in the left hand pane and publish to your MobileMe account. You must make sure the second site has a different name from the first.
Then setup domain name forwarding to the second site following Apple's instructions here: iWeb: Using your own domain name. You will need to setup forwarding at your domain name provider also.
The key is that the second site (with the domain name) must the top top size in iWeb.
Note: with MobileMe scheduled to be discontinued on June 30, 2012, you might begin looking into obtaining another host. When you do you'll find that both sites will need to have a domain name.
When the time comes take a look at HostExcellence.com. I've had excellent results with it. They have a couple of packages that offer free domain names. And most important they have outstanding 24/7, ear-to-ear customer support.

.mac iWeb site with yahoo domain- much trouble

I have 5 websites made with iweb hosted by .mac.
I just got a yahoo domain name, (organizedmayhemmusic.com).
I want to set that domain name to only one of my sites within iWeb,
but I'm having allot of trouble. Right now I have my yahoo domain settings
set to a masked forward, but I'd like it to work how I originally intended it to.
Which would be when you go to (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com) it shows my iweb site
without any weird stuff or tricks or redirects, if possible. Under yahoo Advanced DNS Settings
I added a record, and it asks for a source, and destination. The source example was
info.thesitename.com. but I don't want any thing in front of it, I'm actually still confused on
all of that. I ended up setting the source to (www), and the destination to (web.mac.com).
Then I created the settings on the .mac account page for a personal domain. And after I typed in
my address it got me to (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com/OrganizedMayhem/OrganizedMayhem.html)
Its my iweb site adress but it replaced web.mac.com with my new domain name.
I want it to be just (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com) and worst of all you can type my other
site/page names after (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com/) and get to my other sites but with
my new domain name in the address. If anyone has any help to offer I would greatly appreciate it.
I never ask for help unless I'm pretty desperate. Thanks in advance, -Terodil-

If anyone has any help to offer
Your choices are to go back to forwarding/masking or move your site to Yahoo.

Can i publish a website with out having to pay for dotmac??

can i publish a website with out having to pay for dotmac??

Are you on a trial version of .Mac? If your present page is on .Mac and you have login priviledges to this account, you can upload to it via iWeb. If the site you are uploading carries the exact same name as the one that is there now, it will overwrite the existing site. Trial versions of .Mac are limited to 50MB of space.
If you are talking about Homepage, sites created in iWeb and published to folders can be placed in your Sites folder and viewed with your homepage url; as long as they are named differently they will not overwrite one another.

Changing domain name. Redirecting hits.

I have given my website to a new domain name .Now I want to redirect people who already have links to my site to be redirected to the new site. Can I do this with a single page that picks up everything that arrives at the old site, gives the punters a chance to read a line or two about the change and then calls the new home page. Or do I have to replace all the old pages with seperate redirect pages?
I know how to do the redirect code. It's catching the hits that go to a range of different "old domain" pages that I'm interested in.
Working with HTML/php.

Redirect Old domain to New domain (.htaccess redirect)
Create an .htaccess file in your favorite text editor with the below code, it will ensure that all your directories and pages of your old domain will get correctly redirected to your new domain.
The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed)
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Please REPLACE www.newdomain.com in the above code with your actual domain name.
In addition to the redirect, you should contact every backlinking site to modify their backlink to point to your new website.
Note* This .htaccess method of redirection works ONLY on Linux servers having the Apache Mod-Rewrite moduled enabled.
