Separating Multiple Sites

I have 3 sites using an older version of iWeb (older than 8, not sure which one), and I took the advice of someone on these boards to separate them by creating 3 separate user accounts on my Macbook and each site is created in a different account. This works just fine. I now have a new iMac with iWeb 9 and read it is no longer necessary to go through such machinations, or to use that site separator program someone developed. Does iWeb 9 allow you to separate the sites easily? I publish them to a local folder and upload them using Fetch to my godaddy hosting account where I have them all in separate folders, so they never get confused with each other.
Question 2: I am reading conflicting opinions on these boards about whether iWeb 9 will be compatible with IE8. Some say yes, others no. Anyone really know for sure?

You can use iWeb 09 to manage those three sites whether you're publishing each to a separate MMe account or not since it will only publish the site you have selected in iWeb. You can configure each account to publish wherever you'd like by clicking of the site icon rather than a page icon.
If you're publishing all sites to one MMe account the default site, i.e. the one that comes up if you enter the minimum URL, http://web.me.com/YourMMe_AccountName, will be the one on the top of the list in iWeb. The other sites will need to have the site name added to the end of the basic URL.
Can't help you with #2 as all I know is what I've read here like yourself.

  • Multiple sites for different geographic areas

    i did a website for a letting agency in glasgow (
    http://www.youlet.co.uk ) but
    now the company has decided to open up an extra branch in
    cambridge. iv optimised the original site and it appears in top 4
    under certain optimised key phrases in msn and yahoo. iv been asked
    to make a duplicate site for the cambridge office. now obviously
    pages like the property search will have different content but more
    informative pages like the home, about pages will be practicaly
    identical other than changing all text references and keywords to
    contain cambridge instead of glasgow.
    so as not to mess with the ranking of the existing site, i
    was going to put that whole site into a subdomain like
    website/glasgow, do the same with the cambridge version then have
    an index page on the main site linking off to the 2 sites.
    what i wanted to ask was by doing this subdomain idea will
    this allow each site to be treated as a site in its own right and
    allow the glasgow veriosn to get back to where it was in the
    rankings with it getting ignored as it is a subsdomain?
    and also because the glasgow and cambridge sites will be
    mostly identical apart from references to the location will this
    count as being duplicate sites and count as spam?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When publishing multiple sites to to a MobileMe account the last published site will be accessible via the simple URL: http://web.me.com/youraccountname/
    However each site has it's own URL which would be:
    http://web.me.com/youraccount_name/sitename
    So you need to tack on the site name at the end of the simple URL.
    For what it's worth I use iWebSites to manage over 40 individual sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. It's something you might want to take a look at.

  • Submitting site maps for multiple sites to Google

    I sort of glommed on to the end of the thread "meta and google-ing...i give up," but I'll start a fresh post here with this:
    I have three sites in iWeb, all of which have their own registered Go Daddy domain names and are forwarded to .mac without masking. I followed James Tseng's instructions and successfully submitted to Google and verified my "www.mac.com/user/iWeb" url.
    I also successfully uploaded a site map for one of my sites (let's just call it Site 1), which is in my iWeb folder (not the Site 1 folder).
    My question: I assume I can create separate site maps for Sites 2 and 3. Do they also go in the same iWeb folder as the first one? Is that possible if they're all named "sitemap.xml" or do they have to be given different names?
    Also... if I want to submit these three sites to other engines like MSN and Yahoo, can I submit the forwarded domain names, or will these engines not follow the forwarding to my .mac url?
    If that's the case, is it best to submit the single "www.mac.com/user/iWeb url" as I did with Google, or should I submit each site's .mac url separately?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    <As posted in the the other thread...>
    Hi Mitch....
    I hope you've been finding all this helpful so far! It's always fun to see just how much feedback you can get from Google. Sort of gives you a feeling that "you've arrived". haha.
    Regarding your question about sitemaps and multiple sites.... My strategy is this... I like to give Google sort of the broadest catch that I can. That's why I really suggest to people that they register the most general URL... http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/ . You see how that really leaves the door open for the possibility of multiple sites, without having to register multiple sites. Google really doesn't care that you call them separate sites...to Google they appear as part of the same site...with the same base verified URL.
    So with that registered URL, there really is only one place where the verification file and sitemap.xml file can go. And that place is in the iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/ folder. And there is really only a need for a single verification file and a single sitemap.xml file, no matter how many sites you have. The point here isn't telling Google that you have more sites...it's just about telling Google that you have more LINKS in the site that it already knows about.
    So how do you do this? Just spider your new site or gather the links in your own way and then copy and paste the links (just the links section...not the first two lines or the last line of the code) into the sitemap.xml file that you have already submitted before. Then resubmit it to Google.
    Does this make sense? Let me know what you think.

  • LDAP design question for multiple sites

    LDAP design question for multiple sites
    I'm planning to implement the Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 2005Q1 for replacing the NIS.
    Currently we have 3 sites with different NIS domains.
    Since the NFS over the WAN connection is very unreliable, I would like to implement as follows:
    1. 3 LDAP servers + replica for each sites.
    2. Single username and password for every end user cross those 3 sites.
    3. Different auto_master, auto_home and auto_local maps for three sites. So when user login to different site, the password is the same but the home directory is different (local).
    So the questions are
    1. Should I need to have 3 domains for LDAP?
    2. If yes for question 1, then how can I keep the username password sync for three domains? If no for question 1, then what is the DIT (Directory Infrastructure Tree) or directory structure I should use?
    3. How to make auto map work on LDAP as well as mount local home directory?
    I really appreciate that some LDAP experta can light me up on this project.

    Thanks for your information.
    My current environment has 3 sites with 3 different NIS domainname: SiteA: A.com, SiteB:B.A.com, SiteC:C.A.com (A.com is our company domainname).
    So everytime I add a new user account and I need to create on three NIS domains separately. Also, the password is out of sync if user change the password on one site.
    I would like to migrate NIS to LDAP.
    I want to have single username and password for each user on 3 sites. However, the home directory is on local NFS filer.
    Say for userA, his home directory is /user/userA in passwd file/map. On location X, his home directory will mount FilerX:/vol/user/userA,
    On location Y, userA's home directory will mount FilerY:/vol/user/userA.
    So the mount drive is determined by auto_user map in NIS.
    In other words, there will be 3 different auto_user maps in 3 different LDAP servers.
    So userA login hostX in location X will mount home directory on local FilerX, and login hostY in location Y will mount home directory on local FilerY.
    But the username and password will be the same on three sites.
    That'd my goal.
    Some LDAP expert suggest me the MMR (Multiple-Master-Replication). But I still no quite sure how to do MMR.
    It would be appreciated if some LDAP guru can give me some guideline at start point.
    Best wishes

  • Multiple Sites Problem

    Hi,
    I am using a personal domain name with iweb for one site. I have created two other sites using name forwarding. When I publish one of the other two I get the option to 'visit site now'. When I click on this it takes me to my first personal domain name site. Why doesn't it take me to the site I just published?
    I also notice that the other two sites urls are linked to my personal domain one. Is that how it should be?

    Select the site you want to visit in iWeb's left hand pane and use the File->Visit Published Site menu option.
    To make it easier to manage multiple sites I use iWebSites to do so. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

  • Clarify posting multiple sites...

    I have searched the forum high and low without getting a clear and definite answer to this question.
    Basically, I want to use iWeb to build and maintain several web sites. I have had success separating the sites using iWebSites. All I want to do is use my existing .mac server space to host several sites, which will be accessed by entering in a purchased domain name, which will forward you to that address. However, I do want one web site to be available for access directly (web.mac.com/username). The others can have a long and rediculous address, as they will be accessed by entering in another name anyhow.
    Whenever I publish one site or the other, it overwrites the one I previously posted. I can't figure out how to get web.mac.com/username to count for one of the sites, and then the subsites to be at other addresses.
    Is this possible using iWeb 1.1.2?
    I would appreciate any help. Thanks a lot.

    o.k. firstly, the only reason for using one of these multisite domain programs is if you need to keep the sites separate due to size and the added time it takes to publish when there are lots running at one time or if you are publishing them to separate webspaces. Otherwise iWeb is quite happy running more than 1 site all open at one time in the application. they are listed down the main panel on the left.
    I have created a few sites from one Domain file (iWeb file) that when published all upload to .mac in 1-click, but are basically separate sites see links for examples on my .mac account.... (1 even has a separate password)
    http://web.mac.com/dandid/iWeb/Site/
    http://web.mac.com/dandid/iWeb/links%20page
    http://web.mac.com/dandid/iWeb/654/
    http://web.mac.com/dandid/iWeb/bunyan/
    If all your sites require .mac features, or you want to have them ALL hosted on .mac (regardless of the original website address) then the best way is simply to keep all of them in the same iWeb Domain, i.e. just add new sites within the iWeb application, just as apple intended.
    In addition to multiple sites in my main .mac area, I personally have a number of separate sites run using separate Domain files.
    from these I publish to various places on the net by publishing to a local folder and using and ftp program to upload the HTML files. I only use these from separate Domain files so that I can make changes to some of the small sites without having to wait for iWeb to generate HTML for loads of sites at once.(my mac is slooooow)
    You can open any number of separate sites either by manually moving the domain file within your library/application support/iWeb or by using one of the 'multisite' programs to manage them for you. Then you can use the 'publish to folder' command to prepare all the web ready html files etc to a local folder on your mac. You will then manually upload the files to your sites.
    I'd read the help files for how apple actually intends you to manage more than 1 site if you still don't get it, because if you want them all on .mac anyway, it works pretty well just as they planned it.
    or mail me if you want more help - [email protected]
    hope this helps

  • Multiple Sites - oh help

    I've read a bunch about CNAMES & multiple sites, but am as lost as ever. So I've got www.ProjectReclaim.com that points (via my server, iPower) to my .mac account. Then I made a "New Site" that is supposed to go to www.theStudioPass.com (which is my default .me site). I set up the CNAME thing for theStudioPass.com through iPower. But something is simply not working.
    Ok, bottom line: Any guesses why I can't even access my .me site? http://web.me.com/leah82
    In the event that I've made any sense and you can wade through my illogic, thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you plan to have multiple sites published to your MMe account and domain name forwarding it might be easier to manage if the sites were in separate iWeb Domain.sites2 files to facilitate editing and publishing them independently of each other. I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites, over 45. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.

  • Managing multiple sites in different iWeb versions - PLEASE HELP!

    apnewbie/cyclosaurus/roddy/old toad (and any others more knowledgeable than i):
    i've run into a bit of a pickle. i am hoping someone can help straighten me out. i am about to jump out of a window. here's the rundown:
    (for starters, i have a .mac account and am publishing to .mac.) i created a site in iWeb 1.1.2 on my work computer (mac book pro). worked great, really lovely. thought to myself, "hey, i'd like to create another site from home, but i don't have iWeb at home (powerbook G4) - i should buy iLife 08 so i can build these things from home and not have personal files on my work computer."
    so: i had a site that i created within 1.1.2 with files written to iDisk. i purchased iWeb 08 and would like to have another site, but this one is being created in 2.0. i also am using a personal domain name this time around bought with google apps and hosted by godaddy. i published the new work in progress for a test run and...you guessed it...my original 1.1.2 site was rewritten by the 2.0 site. and the 2.0 site comes up as the standard google search page for domains that aren't up and running. whooopsie.
    sorry for the lengthy intro, but that's the background. i guess my specific questions are:
    1) i want to be able to maintain multiple sites from iWeb 2.0...can i open my 1.1.2 domain file in 2.0 and successfully bring that site into 2.0?
    2) what is the most efficient and easiest way to get both of these sites running in 2.0? right now i have two domain files (created on two different computers).
    3) for domain management, is it best to move from the iWeb folder in my home library to different folders (one for each site, with separate domain files, and my 2.0 domain file is NOT called domain, it's the name of the site) to another location? (and of course, i will back these up just in case.) and when i want to update a site, i just open that individual domain file, right? or will these sites publish over each other?
    please help. i am at my wits end. i'm sure this is a relatviely simple issue, but i'm new to iWeb.
    thanks, thanks, thanks for your help guys.
    joojy

    joojy,
    Welcome to the forums!
    First of all, your original 1.1.2 site may not, in fact, have been overwritten. It is quite possible that the site remains in it's position on the iDisk, Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSite, but because you published to the iDisk (.Mac) from 2.0, a different index.html file has been placed in the root level Web directory which is causing the 404 error. Navigate to the directory on the iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder, and look to see what is actually there. Follow this path:
    Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSiteWillBeHereIfYourLuckIsGood
    If your site is there, great; if it isn't, it's not really a problem because hopefully you still have the Domain.sites file on the MacBook Pro and you can republish it if necessary. If it is there, you can modify the index.html file on the iDisk using a text editor and get your url redirected back to where it should be.
    Second, do not open your 1.1.2 Domain.sites file with 2.0 until you have a backup of this Domain file. External drives are best for this. Assuming the backup is in place, launch 2.0, choose the Domain.sites file, and click on "update". It will be updated to a Domain.sites2 file. If the site looks ok then continue on with editing/publishing.
    Skipping to question (3), by all means, abandon the default location of the Domain.sites file in the Home folder's Library and get accustomed to keeping your Domain files in their own, respective folders. When you want to open one just double-click it.
    You are going to encounter difficulties publishing multiple sites in 2.0.2, unless you keep all of the sites in a single Domain file. 2.0 is publishing to a different directory on the iDisk than 1.0; it publishes to /Web/Sites/, as opposed to /Web/Sites/iWeb/. Publishing a site from a separate Domain file erases previously published sites. I have been able to publish multiple sites, from multiple Domain.sites2 files, by mounting the iDisk and actually moving the Site folder back one level, into the root Web folder, and then publishing. When finished, I move it back again. If you have RSS feeds you will probably get a 'file in use' error. The alternative, (other than keeping all sites in a single Domain), is to publish the site to a folder and then manually drop the Site folder into the Web/Sites/ directory on the iDisk. Of course, some .Mac functions are lost when publishing this way.
    Work through this info and post back.

  • Azure multiple site-to-site VPNs (dynamic gateway) with Cisco ASA devices

    Hello
    I've been experimenting with moving certain on-premise servers to Azure however they would need a site-to-site VPN link to our many branch sites e.g. monitoring of nodes.
    The documentation says I need to configure a dynamic gateway to have multiple site-to-site VPNs. This is not a problem for our typical Cisco ISR's. However three of our key sites use Cisco ASA devices which are listed as 'Not Compatible' with dynamic routing.
    So I am stuck...
    What options are available to me? Is there any sort of tweak-configuration to make a Cisco ASA work with Azure and dynamic routing?
    I was hoping Azure's VPN solution would be very flexible.
    Thanks

    Hello RTF_Admin,
    1. Which is the Series of CISCO ASA device you are using?
    Thank you for your interest in Windows Azure. The Dynamic routing is not supported for the Cisco ASA family of devices.
    Unfortunately, a dynamic routing VPN gateway is required for Multi-Site VPN, VNet to VNet, and Point-to-Site.
    However, you should be able to setup a site-to-site VPN with Cisco ASA 5505 series security appliance as demonstrated in this blog:
    Step-By-Step: Create a Site-to-Site VPN between your network and Azure
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2013/10/09/step-by-step-create-a-site-to-site-vpn-between-your-network-and-azure.aspx
    You can refer to this article for Cisco ASA templates for Static routing:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn133793.aspx
    If your requirement is only for Multi-Site VPN then there is no option but to upgrade the device as Multisite VPN requires dyanmic routing and unfortunately there is no tweak or workaround due to hardware compatibility issue.
    I hope that this information is helpful
    Thanks,

  • Multiple Domain files, Multiple Sites, Publishing Problems

    I am frustrated beyond belief. I'm an old hand-coder, coming from BBEdit, but I've been using iWeb almost exclusively since its release, because it really is a great product for quick, easy, stylish designs.
    However.... In that year, my collection of sites has grown to 12. Discovering that iWeb becomes a major dog when dealing with that much material, I found and followed the instructions - today - to separate my sites into individual domain files, and edit them individually. iWeb is much snappier and publishing goes much more quickly.
    The problem? Well... after editing, "Publish to .Mac" rarely works. Only "Publish All to .Mac" will get the site online (something about an error with the index.html file). But "Publish All to .Mac", I've just discovered, DELETES the other websites that I have previous published. All day I've been doing updates and publishing my sites, only to discover that the uploads have all been wiped out by the most recent one!
    I'm a big enough fellow to admit that my knowledge isn't total nor perfect - so please, would someone out there with a better handle on iWeb than I (preferably someone who actually deals with multiple domain files rather than someone who thinks they can guess the problem) please clue me into how we make use of this program non-destructively?
    I suppose I could always publish everything to folders and upload it to my iDisk (which itself remains ridiculously slow after how many years now? Sheesh!), but that detracts from the elegance of the .Mac integration, the counter features, - not to mention the little fact that I'm a paying .Mac customer and this darn thing should just work, no?

    Mark:
    I was where you were also. You should give iWebSites a try. It's to iWeb what iPhoto Library Manager is to iPhoto.
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. Just remember to put a copy of your current Domain.sites file somewhere else on your HD in case the splitting gets messed up. It went very smoothly for me and I now manage 19 or so sites.

  • Share files over multiple sites

    Hello everybody,
    Is there a way to use a single file from multiple sites without having to maintain them twice?
    For example I want to use the same PHP-functions in two projects (include file).
    Is there a Dreamweaver-technique which allows me to use and upload a file, that is outside of the site-root-directory.
    Librarys? Templates?
    greeting

    Is there a Dreamweaver-technique
    Firstly, this has nothing to do with Dreamweaver, so no, there isn't a DW technique. This depends on your webserver and operating system.
    The solution also depends on what kind of file you are trying to share, and if the websites are on the save server. HTML/CSS can't normally access files outside the web root, so, for instance, you can't normally share a CSS file between websites (but there is a workaround using aliases). PHP files don't have this limitation, as long as they are on the same server.
    I took a quick look at the Google hosted libraries. It looks like it is all javascript. Javascript doesn't have the same limitation that PHP has. For instance, Lots of people reference a remote copy of jQuery in their web pages.
    There is a method of sharing files across servers that involves configuring the receiving server to accept the remote file. I experimented with this some years ago but can't find any info on it now. Sorry, I can't even remember what the technique was called.  It wasn't easy to get it to work with all browsers as they have different security policies.

  • Multiple sites, different computers

    I have set up multiple websites on my original iMac using iWeb08. I just purchased a MacBook Pro with iWeb09 and would like to do one of two things: 1) Manage all my sites on each computer or 2) Manage "site1" on the MBP and "sites2-4" on the iMac. I am publishing all the sites to my MobileMe account.
    It looks like I can copy my original Domain onto a USB Drive and then transfer it to the MBP and edit there. But then I need to make sure I always bring the USB drive back and forth and replace the Domain file each time before I make any changes. Sure that will work, but seems a little annoying and time consuming.
    So my question is would it be best to separate the sites into separate Domain files and load them individually from each computer? or just maintain each site on each computer? Can I even publish to MobileMe from two different places like I am thinking?
    Thanks for any input!

    Do these sites have domain names associated with them?
    If you publish multiple sites from separate domain files to the same MMe account the last published site will be the default for any domain name using the CNAME method and will be the default URL for that MMe account: http://web.me.com/YourMMe_AccountName/.
    The full URL to each site will work: http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/SiteName.
    Are those computers linked together on a local network? If so you can just log into the primary computer which houses the domain file from the other computer and work on the domain file. Or, if you have an external HD connected to any of the computers, put the domain file on it and set up access so both computers can reach it.
    There is another possible method using DropBox: Old Toad's Tutorial #21 - Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs with Dropbox.. It's worked for me on a simple site. But one user reported photo pages not getting updated on one computer. It does take a while for the other computer to be updated as it has to be on and connected to the internet. Just proceed with caution till you're sure there's no lagging in the updating.

  • How do you setup multiple sites to allow for code promotion?

    I am somewhat frustrated with the single site flow of the Dreamweaver Site Manager in helping me manage a full development to production code cycle.  Ideally I need to have multiple sites managed by Dreamweaver that are just different stages in the code lifecycle.  Currently DW only supports local_file -> production.  Instead I need (and this is sort of standard for software product systems) to have my local sandbox, a test site, a beta site and a production site.
    In the normal dev cycle I would work in my sandbox and have DW synchronize with my test site  ( allows scripts that need a full server to be tested in case my local machine is not running a full server ).  I can do this today with DW.  When I am ready I want be able to have DW synchronize with my beta site (might very well be on a different server via FTP) so that my users/customers can review, test and approve the changes.  When everyone has signed off I then want DW to promote this code to the production site.
    Now I can do this manually but DW seems to have 95% of the capability in place (mostly the synchronization logic).  Is there a way to have it also manage/synchronize the beta and production sites?
    Thank You

    Also, how did you first get everyone's music library into their own library?  Drag & drop?  Is the "grouping field" you mentioned under "view", then "view options"?  What does this do? 
    Thanks.
    Sorry I missed your post earlier. Normally I follow up on any replies. This one must have fallen off the page on a busy day.
    As my kids have left home I have created for them a complete clone of the familiy library, then deleted the tracks from it they don't want. Over time their libraries will divirge, but if needs be they can still update their devices using the library at home. Handy when eldest's kit was stolen.
    Grouping is just another property, useful because it isn't generally overwritten by other software but is stored in the tags, so preserved when you copy files from one place to another. You can make the column visible and edit for multiple tracks in Get Info. Some software calls the same field "mood" or "sub-genre". iTunes has a specialist purpose for it generally used with classical music, but it doesn't seem to work very well for that and I don't use it that way.

  • Multiple sites, publish one at a time?

    I have multiple sites, but when I publish them they all publish together. Can I just publish one at a time??? If not, this program is not very good..

    I just want to select one SITE and
    upload it, not have all the others upload too. Anyway
    to get aroud that?
    It should not upload a site that has no changes. But there is no way to avoid uploading changes, unless you want to start using separate Users/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain files for each site.
