Publishing multiple websites through iWeb

Hello,
I could use a little help. I have my main website published through iWeb and the mobleme system.
I would like to make another website (which already has a host) on iWeb but can't figured out how to do it.
Any help would be great. Thanks

Okay, so lets just get this clear first of all - which version of iWeb are you using? iWeb 08 or 09? There are differences - if using 09 then click on the name of the site that you want to publish and there should then be a drop down menu at the top of the page that has FTP Mobile Me, FTP Server and then Publish Local Folder. To publish to a folder just click on the Publish Local Folder option and your site will be published to a folder.
iWeb 09 will let you publish individual sites.
If using 08, then this is an 09 forum and there is an 08 forum that you can post to.
However, in iWeb 08 you can choose to Publish to MobileMe and/or then publish to a folder- in 08 there is no ftp to server option and unfortunately, as you have discovered it will publish all sites rather than just individually. If you want to publish individually, then you need to separate out your domain files or use the programme iWebSites to help keep your sites separate.

How do I publish multiple websites from iweb?

Hi, I'm new with iweb and .mac in general and wanted to know about publishing multiple accounts from my iweb.
I bought a five-user edition of .mac last week and I wanted to get at least three different websites up and running. One site is almost 50% done and has uploaded just fine but when I tried to create another site in iweb, I have no idea where it's going. I created a second account in .mac and it shows up (I can log into and everything) but how can I publish to my brand new site without the other one going through each and every time?
This question may sound really dumb but please bear and mind that I'm a newbie with iweb and mac (I just got this powerbook in Sept. 2006).
Thanks in advance,
Dale

Actually, Dale, this is a pretty common question.
If you want the different sites to load to different .mac accounts (or different sub accounts), the easiest solution is probably to set up several different user accounts on your computer, one for each .mac sub account. In each of those accounts, set the appropriate .mac info in system preferences. Seems like I've heard of another approach, but this is probably the simplest.
Have you already started building a second site in the same user account (on your computer) as the first site? If so, we'll need to walk you through domain separation, too.
One other heads up: it is very important to back up your domain files (in your case in each account). The domain file is found in ~/library/Application Support/iWeb, where ~ refers to your home folder for your user account on the computer. Make sure to make a backup copy (preferably on an external hard drive or CD) after every major change in your website. Don't be lulled into thinking that a published website serves as a backup. It is not possible to import a published site back into iWeb. The domain file is your only link to creating/editing the site in iWeb.
Please post back if you have any questions or if I haven't been clear.

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:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Domains.html
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:

This back up.. can I copy this domain file and put it on an external hard drive?
Yes.

Can't visit my website through iWeb

when I try to visit my website through iWeb, it direct me to: http://web.me.com/yalan.chuang/Ya-LanChinese_School/Home.html/Ya-Lan_ChineseSchool/index.html, and it shows: looking for something on MobileMe? But the correct one should be: http://web.me.com/yalan.chuang/Ya-LanChineseSchool/Home.html. How can I fix it?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you using the Visit Site link that drops down in iWeb after the publishing is completed? If so that's known to now work well. Try the File ➙ Visit Published Site menu option or just enter your URL in the browser as QuicktimeKirk pointed out.
I tend not to use iWeb but use a bookmark in my browsers menu bar. Just more reliable.

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 :

I published a website using iWeb. I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

I published a website using iWeb. I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

If you're publishing directly from iWeb 3 to your FTP server then you'll have the following in your accounts root directory:
Site 1 folder
Site 2 folder
Site 3 folder
index.html file from last published site directling to the last published site.
If you want to keep Site 1 as the primary site you'll need to publish it one more time to the server so you get it's index.html file uploaded.
Now you'll have to publish Sites 2 and 3 to a folder on the hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck, YummyLite or Transmit to upload only the site folder (and not its external index.html file with it).
The url to sites 2 and 3 will be:
http://doman_name.com/Site 2
http://doman_name.com/Site 3

Multiple websites with iWeb?

I'd like to create multiple sites with iWeb. For instance, I'd like a personal site and a business site. Can this be done or are we only allowed a singel website?

sjesser...
Since iWeb goes through every page in its calculations when publishing, you might find having two sites together in the same instance of iWeb to be cumbersome if you update one or the other site frequently. Additionally, if you ever plan on hosting your personal and business sites in different places, it will be impossible to edit or publish your two sites independently of one another.
The solution to this would be to keep your personal and business sites in different instances of iWeb....different Domain files. Since you have not yet made your second site, this may be a good time to adopt this practice. You can still publish both sites to the same .Mac account....the difference is that iWeb only has to go through one site when you publish.
Check out this program called iWebSites...
http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/
This software will help you create and maintain fully separate websites with iWeb in an easy to use interface. This is the best time to start.....BEFORE you make that second site! Best of luck!

How to Publish Multiple Websites Using Domain Masking

Let's say I have a mobileme acct called applesoranges, but then I decided not to use this name for my website. Using iweb, I have created a different website called blueberry.com, and was able to figure out how to set up my personal domain and then mask appleoranges so that only blueberry.co, appears.
I now want to add another website called strawberry.com. With one mobileme acct (applesoranges), is it possible to host 2 separate websites, each of which is masking the original mobileme acct? How does one set up 2 separate websites using iweb (each masking the original acct name)?
Many thanks!

For every MobileMe account you can only use the personal domain name option and CNAME only once. You enter your first domain name into your MMe account and then go and set up CNAME forwarding at your domain registrar to forward to web.me.com. For any other sites that you create, you need to go to web forwarding. You set-up the other domain names by using masked web forwarding and point them to web.me.com/username/sitename and by masking these will just show your domain name address and not your MobileMe/iWeb url.
Make sure that you separate out your sites, as it will be easier. You can either duplicate the domain.sites files and have one site per a domain file or use a program called iWebSites to help you manage multiple sites.
You also have the option of not using MMe and you can publish to a folder instead and upload directly to each domain hosting space. This gets away from the problem of how to forward sites to iWeb/MMe.

How can I publish my website from iWeb?

I have created a Website on iWeb - but did not realize that I would not be able to publish via MobileMe. I cannot publish on a local folder. How can I get my site online?
Thanks!

You will need to find a 3rd party webhost for your website, I have been using IX Webhosting for several years now with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across.

Changing a website through iweb

i have started using iweb today and published a website. then i made some changes and published those, but the original website keeps coming up and none of the changes I've made appear to be published. i can see all the changes, and the website as I would like it to appear, in iweb, but not ion the web. what am i doing wrong?

If you really what to make sure that it is publishing correctly, then I would suggest that you select the publish to a local folder option from within iWeb and this will publish your site to your desktop - you will get a site folder with a separate index.html file and an assets file.
If you download Cyberduck for free - this is a dedicated ftp programme, you should be able to connect to your server using this and you will then be able to see exactly what is in your public_html folder on your server.
Once you connect to your server using Cyberduck, you will be able to see what is being uploaded and to where. If you use the iWeb built in ftp you are working blind.
Use Cyberduck to see exactly what is on your sever and take it from there.

How do I publish my website with iweb now that mobile me is closed

How do I publish the website i am creating with iweb now that mobile me is closed?

You will need to find a 3rd party web host. I personally use IX Webhosting and have been happy with them for several years now.
Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder

Is it possible to add/create a login prompt for my website through iWeb?

So I was tasked to create a "info" site for my family. In an effort to keep it private from everyone except my family members I would like to create a login so that only family members can log in and view site. Is it possible to do this through iWeb? If so could someone help explain to me how this can be done?
Thanks

Its not so difficult. I host with Host Excellence and it only takes a few minutes to set up password protection using the WebShell wizard.
Once you have done this, you can easily add and/or delete authorized users, change the password etc.
If you use .htaccess, there are online generators to help you set it up. The main thing to remember about these files is that they are normally hidden so you need to turn on "show hidden files" in your hosting account file manager.

Publishing multiple websites

Hi. Can anyone tell me whether iWeb 08 allows you to publish each site you create separately? I've read in the forums about separating out the domains to publish separately for '06 version, but wondered if this problem is now solved in the update.
Many thanks - and please be gentle as it's my first post and I'm not very techy!

The application is iWebsites. I emailed the author last night to find out if he has tried his application with iWeb '08 as I haven't received my copy yet.
In the meantime, just in case, I have saved my sites in separate folders in the "pre iWebsites" fashion to multiple locations.
Create a folder called, for example, "My Websites".
Inside this folder create a folder for each of your websites.
Make your first website and save it.
Go to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb and you will see a file called "domain.sites". Drag this file into the file you created for that particular website.
Quit iWeb and relaunch.
Create website #2 and repeat above.
To return to website #1, quit iWeb, open the folder for website #1 and double click the domain.sites file. Website #1 should now launch in iWeb.
Every time you save any work you have done on a website you have to save it and drag the resulting domain.sites file to the folder for that particular site.
iWebsites allows you to have multiple ".sites" files in the Application Support/iWeb file and creates a directory to access these files thus avoiding the above tedious procedure.
As always, whatever method you use, backup your domain.sites files regularly and store them on a re recordable CD/DVD or an external drive because, as we know through painful experience, if you lose or corrupt your domain.sites file you are totally screwed!
