Retrieving uploaded web site to new iWeb 08

I recently did a clean install of my iBook G4 (for various reasons). I now have Leopard on both eMac and iBook. Before I did this I backed (using Backup) up my iLife 06 folder to .Mac. I have reinstalled iLife 06 and on my iBook and recently purchased iLife 08 for my eMac.
But, how do I get my web site back for editing? I've tried several ways on both computers with no luck. I want to redo the site anyway but would like to be able to use parts of the old site in the new site. The old site is still posted and working fine at .Mac.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The file you needed to backup was the domain.sites2 file that resides in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If you don't have a copy of that file you'll need to reconstruct your site from scratch. iWeb cannot read or import html files, only create them.
This site has some tips in 2.3 on how you can use some of the file in the published site to rebuild the site: http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebBackupretrieve.html

    No. iCloud does not host websites.

  • Uploading web site not made by iweb

    My son created a web site in school using HTML code. It has about 6 pages of text and music, plus 2 Quicktime movies. I uploaded it to my iDisc, but I don't know how to publish it to my dotmac account for others to view. Is there a way of doing this? Would I use iWeb somehow? Thanks in advance!
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hmmm, I did exactly as you said, varkgirl and jabberwock. The Portfolio folder has 45 items in it-HTML pages, .mov files, .gif files, etc. I uploaded the entire folder to the SITES folder on my iDisk. I can see all the files when I check the iDisk on dotmac. Then I clicked on HOMEPAGE,scrolled down the left side to ADVANCED. The theme is External HTML. But only the HTML files show up and they don't link to the original files, so I get an error code. I also get a 404 error code when I try homepage.mac.com/username/foldername/pagename.html, substituting my info, of course. Does it sound like I'm doing everything correctly? Thanks for your time and help!

  • Upload web site

    I start devoloping a site in my PowerBook using Iweb; the site was published and all worked fine.
    But now, that I need to upload the site to my G5 to keep working in it, I am out of luck.
    Probably the designers didn't thought that uploading is a must for any web design program, or better yet, there is a way to do that, that I ignore.
    If that is the case I'll appreciate any help.

    in other words if you are working back and forward
    from the laptop to the Desktop you got to repeat the
    copy procedure from PowerBook to G5 and vice-versa.
    Cumbersome, don't you think?
    That's right, you must always have the latest version of the Domain file on whichever machine you wish to be working. It is a fundamental aspect of how the program works. Here's a trick that some have found makes this easier.

  • Broken links after uploading web site to server

    We created our office's web site using Dreamweaver CS4, and uploaded it to the server of our ISP.  Prior to uploading, we tested the site in both IE7 and Firefox, and everything worked fine.  After uploading, however, all images are lost and several of our links are broken.  Any suggestions on where to start looking and how to fix are very appreciated.

    Your code is whacked. Your page can't find the Spry files. Your code is like this:
    <link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarVertical.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    That dot-dot part (../) means the page needs to back up to the parent folder, then enter the SpryAssets folder. Same for your images and links:
    <h1><a href="../Images/larger-logo.jpg"><img src="../Images/larger-logo.jpg" alt="logo" width="300" height="150" border="0" align="left" /></a></h1>
    Looks like you used a Dreamweaver template and somehow your links/references got messed up. It has nothing to do with uploading to a server. The problem is most likely caused by [a] Dreamweaver site not properly configured, or [b] improper use of a Dreamweaver template. You'll need to either manually fix all the bad code or try to recreate a page based on the template - or even recreate the template.
    First thing first - you need to understand the problem. Do you understand - looking at your code - what the problem is? Why those ../ are breaking things? Do you understand the concept of paths? You need to understand that before you can understand how to fix this.

  • I can't find my web-site in my iweb

    I created a web-site in 2008 and want to revise it. When I open iWeb, it is not there. WHen I type in the www. address, it's there. How do I get it back and work with it?

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files  Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    Or you can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.

  • Open old site in new iWeb?

    Hey guys,
    I just upgraded, but I can't seem to open the old site in the new iWeb. Please tell me I don't have to recreate everything...
    Thanks

    Your iWeb '06 site is stored in a domain.sites file which is in Home Folder/Library/Application Support iWeb.
    Before you attempt to launch iWeb '08, make a backup of this file and store it in a safe place - preferably on an external drive or CD/DVD.
    Clicking this file will launch it in iWeb '08 and it will be converted to domain.sites2.
    Once you have done this, there is no going back - hence the backup if the conversion is not successful.
    If you do not have this domain file you cannot launch your site in iWeb. Although your site is published to a folder and exists on .Mac or your server, you can't reverse this process - you have to have the domain file.

  • Can I still get Firefox 2.0 so I can access my savings plan web site? (newer versions are not supported)

    I have only Apple computers. My corporation's savings plan web site primarily supports Windows and just barely supports Macs with Firefox 2.0 and Mac OSX 9 or 10. I currently have OSX 10.5.8 and Firefox 5.0. Is there a place to download this older version of Firefox (or am I limited forever to only doing my money management by phone during regular business hours?). It is not likely that ING Corp. is going to upgrade their support for Macs.

    Your Mac is a PPC Mac, correct? If so, there is no way you can use Firefox 5 on it. You could try TenFourFox.

  • Is it possible to upload web pages created in IWEB to another type of site?

    I have tried to read through a lot of the posts on here, and always seem to get lost after a few. I am trying to post a website that I am creating using IWEB to the internet. THe catch is that my .Mac account has expired, so I wanted to find another way to get them online. I am a high school teacher and trying to make a website for my classes. If anyone has any other ideas or information please let me know. I greatly appreciate all your time.

    Click here for options, or if your ISP allows it, place the published files in the folder /Library/WebServer/Documents/ of your hard disk and start web sharing from the Sharing pane of System Preferences.

  • Web Galleries and new iWeb album pages

    The new version of iWeb allows for "album" pages that serve as a collection of all the photo and mvies pages that are in a site. This is pretty slick, and allows one to re-order the photo pages exactly like one can re-order photos on one of the photo pages.
    I am playing with web galleries, and notice that you can create a widget for a gallery for any iWeb page. When I do this on my album page, the widget shows up, but does not act like or interact with the other picture pages. It is simply a "widget" that sits on the page where it is placed. Has anyone figured out how to get a (link to a) gallery to act like one of the photo pages?
    -=[doug]=-

    I'm searching the forum for a solution to this too; web galleries look cheap next to the albums, and there's no reason for it. Short of changing all of my albums to galleries, here's my temporary solution, but it's a half-measure:
    1) Drop a square on top of your .Mac Web Gallery widget that's just a bit larger than the widget.
    2) Select the square, and in the Inspector, go to the Graphic Inspector, and under Stroke, select Picture Frame.
    3) Select the frame that matches your album's format, then resize the square until it's just about the size of the widget, or provides the desired border width around the widget.
    4) Move the square backward, behind the widget.
    5) If desired, add a dummy album name beneath the gallery for visual continuity.
    See my example here: http://www.vehphoto.com/sandrift/Photos/Photos.html
    This worked for me because I'm using a white background and white frames; your mileage may vary depending on what theme and picture frames you're using. (I can't recall if I enabled additional frames in the Inspector as described in the Keynote forums - if a matching frame appears to be missing in the Inspector, let me know and I'll double-check this.)
    Still, it's a sub-optimal solution, because 1) the widget cannot be resized 2) the widget still contains the gallery name, and 3) widgets cannot be rearranged the way albums can - they probably have to be segregated from albums.
    I'll be posting feedback on this at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html

  • Migrating web sites to new server

    Hello all,
    just got a new Mac Mini Server edition with the latest Snow Leopard etc. I am migrating all my various sites from the old server which was just running standard Leopard. I am having a hard time finding where everything goes. If anyone can point me to some good tutorials on setting of web hosting using Snow Leopard I'd really appreciate it.
    For example, we use the server for local testing only, not public serving so on the old server we'd just go to http://192.168.1.5/sitename and that worked great. So where the heck is htdocs located on Server? Most of are sites are PHP/MySQL stuff like Wordpress and Joomla etc. So I'm guessing I'll need to enabled PHP 5 and MySQL and all that. I've got a few good tutorials bookmarked for that, but if anyone has a great Server specific one, let me know. I'll be porting everything using phpMyAdmin.
    Looking at the help info for the Web Server Preferences, it says adding sites is for static HTML sites of which I have basically none.
    I'm going through the Server booklet that came with the Mini, but I could really use some tips on where to put things like our shared project folders etc. I'm new to this server configuration stuff. Thanks a ton for any tips!

    I am trying to do the same thing. I have an old Leopard server that has some internal websites on it. I am planning to migrate them over to a new Snow Leopard server this summer. I am just now starting to play with it. I wave been able to successfully move over wikis, but am having trouble with the user blogs.
    To move the wikis, I found them in /Library/Collaborarion/Groups. Each wiki was listed as a separate directory. I moved the contents of the groups folder over to the new server in the same directory, and changed the permissions to those directories to match what they should be. To do this, I went into Server Admin and file sharing and browsed to the Groups folder (no further in) and propogated the permissions (owner and group names) down to the contents of the Group folder fo that each user and group was _teamserver. Shop and restart web server and the wikis were back.
    I tried to do the same for the users, but that does not seem to work. Still trying some things there. I did not do any of the things that power mac suggested with php or mysql.
    Hopefully, this works for you. I will try to post if I can figure out the user blogs. I would have thought they would have worked the same way as the wikis, but they were in the users folder instead of the groups folder. They are all listed there in the finder, but they do not show up in the web interface when I list the user websites in snow leopard.

  • Using old site in new iWeb '08

    I have a site set up using .Mac but when I open iWeb it says 'iWeb needs a Domain file to continue. Choose an existing file or create a new one.'
    If I click 'Choose one' then I browse around and can't find any file to choose. If I create a new one it creates an entirely new page and I can't open my old one.
    Anyone know how to get around this?

    The "Domain" file is located here.
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    What that means is in the finder, choose Go -> Home from the menu, then open the Library, then the Application Support, then the iWeb folder. There's where you will find your Domain file. In the file chooser, click your username on the left (in the column view) and go through the same set of folders.
    However, as others have said, I'd back this file up before attempting ANYTHING with iWeb '08.

  • Old iweb site into new iweb?

    Recently had to redo my computer.  My iweb site is out there on mobile me and I downloaded the folder.  I can't figure out how to set it up so iweb will open this site so I can update it...

    Unless you have the domain file that was used to create your site you will have to rebuild it from scratch.  iWeb can't read/import html file.  However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the creation of the new site.

    It isn't gone, the link was just wrong.  It ships with FX processors only if you read further down.  Probably with the newer ones that are running warmer.
    As for warranty, you do not have to remain with the Stock Heat Sink to retain warranty, although if the heatsink goes bad and causes a CPU failure using a non-stock heatsink that will void warranty. :-/
