Stupid web site set up.

In trying to clean some crap off my pc. I uninstalled the version of Adobe I had installed early Dec. this year. When I then tried to contact a website I used all the time it wouldn't show until I re-installed Adobe which I did.
Now the web site shows but it says a potentially harmful site is trying to access my computer. It gives me the options of clicking ''settings'' if I want to let it access and the other option is ''OK''. Excuse me for being obstinate but if ''settings'' is for ALLOWING access, then what the hell is OK for????? Sometimes I think I'm working with complete idiots.
I'm not going to click something which I have been warned is potentially harmful and I'm not going to click OK which in any REAL universe would ALSO mean accept the thing which is potentially harmful.
Secondarily, I wish they would give a phone # to talk to an actual person with a problem. They never seem to have a problem giving a # one can call to BUY something but heaven forbid someone who is already a customer should want some help in using the product THEY HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR.

First things first. Flash Player IS FREE. If you've "paid for it" you didn't do it here.
Second, the "potentially harmful" notice is about a "local" (on your hard drive) HTML or SWF file trying to connect to the internet through Flash Player. It pops up for ANY file that attempts to connect, because that's a common way to deliver malware to an unsuspecting user. I've developed Flash content since 2007 and I've seen it hundreds of times for files I made myself so I KNOW they're safe.
It's a standard alert and can be easily worked around following these steps:
1. navigate to: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/se ttings_manager04.html
2. click edit locations
3. click browse for folder
4. find the folder that contains your html and swf and click ok
5. you should see that folder in the "always trust files in these locations" field.
6. using your file browser, navigate to that now trusted folder and open the flash-published html in your web browser.
7. click your button.
If you still feel you need to talk to someone over the phone, you can call:
1 (800) 833-6687
That's available Monday thru Friday 6am to 7pm (PST)
And..
It's $39.99 per call, which MUST BE prepaid, and that applies whether or not your issue can be, or is, resolved.

New web site set up

How can I create a web site not linked to a current one? In other words in its own folder?

You can have multiple indivicual websites in one iWeb Domain file. This Domain file of mine has 7 individual sites in it:
If you have iWeb 3 each site can be piublished individually to wherever you'd like, a folder on your hard drive, MobileMe (to be discontinued after June 30th or an FTP hosting server.

When streaming video from a web site my audio is attenuated differently with different users on the same computer. withe either user, the sound is very muffled. all the volumes are set to maximum.

How can I adjust the safari sound volume other than the usual settings in the system preferences?
I am using an apple mac air, updated with OS X Yosemite. Looking at the same web site video from two different users accounts on the same computer, the sound is drastically attenuated on one user account relative to the other.
Sound settings in system preferences are maxed out.

It seems that the difference between the sites that will open and the one that won't is the Default Authentication provider is set to NTLM on those that open, and Negotiate (Kerberos) on the one that won't. The Authentication Provider for the Default zone
is Claims Based Authentication on all the sites, just site B (which won't open) is set to Negotiate (Kerberos), the others are set to NTLM.
Short term: can I change the provider to NTLM without destroying the site?
Long term: point me in the direction for setting up Kerberos correctly on my server/farm, as from what I can tell Kerberos is the recommended path forward. I'll setup a non-production test site and get it figured out.
Thanks much.

How to set a New Tab as the start page in Firefox and lock in my choice of web sites

You may set the New Tab page Firefox shows when opening a new tab as its start page, and you can lock in the web sites you want displayed there.
I set my browser to open a New Tab as its start page and have locked in six destinations from which to choose on my start page.
First I open Firefox and open a new tab. Then I delete any open tabs other than this New Tab. Optionally, I can also set a second tab to open to a specific web site
Next I go to Tools and Options (or Edit and Preferences in Linux) and select the General tab on the far left. Click on
[Use Current Pages].
Each time I open Firefox it will open showing me the New Tab.
I can select from pages that I have already visited the six pages I want to have appearing on my New Tab every time. Supposing there are no pages locked in yet, and I don't want the site in the top left. I hit the X in its thumbnail's top right corner, it disappears and every other site thumbnail moves up and there is a new site appearing in the sixth slot. Note that if I have visited one page frequently, it may appear more than once, or be replaced by itself. If that happens, just keep deleting until the page you want shows up.
If I find a site that I want to save, then there is a thumbtack in the top left corner of the thumbnail. It is black, but if I click it it turns blue, and the thumbnail is a keeper.
This web site is in the second row, second over, but I want it to be up on the top row. Just drag and drop and the two sites exchange places. Make sure it has a blue thumbtack. The lock-down thumbtacks and delete X symbols appear in the top left and top right, respectively while the mouse is hovering over them.
It is possible to delete a saved site, and it is possible to undo the thumbtack. Simply click the X to delete or click the blue thumbtack to unlock the site and turn the thumbtack black.
You may choose to tack down a few sites and let the remainder float in and out, driven by your browsing history.
Through my use of this approach, I have instant access to my club's web site, two Webmail sites, and some other often-visited places on the Web, all in one start page.
About the only thing I really don't need there is a Google search box, for if I enter my search terms in the address bar I get the same result as if I had specifically typed in the search box.
Some add-ons, often potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), will replace the Firefox about:newtab (address of the New Tab) with eBay, Facebook, Twitter icons among others, and a different search engine. These icons may have a nicer appearance than the default Firefox New Tab, but you may also be looking at extra, unnecessary work for the computer, especially if behind the pretty icons there is a hidden agenda.
Personally, I would stay clear of these add-ons, and perform some scanning with an up-to-date antivirus and antimalware software.

If this is not a pinned (App) tab then the home page should open in that tab.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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.

How do I set up a root directory for a web site

So this is probably a naive newbie question.
I have been creating websites driven by php/mysql on my mac for years using the previous the web preference pane to run Apache and since that went away using XAMPP to provide Apache/php/mysql functionality on localhost.
I decided to download OSX server and try to use that. Figured might as well go native MAC.
I am baffled.
The manual says to set up a web site in Server by working through the Websites Services interface. I did that and pointed the setup at the directory where I have all of my web site files. I now have no idea how to access that page from my local machine.
I have tried:
http://localhost/myURL
http://localhost/~username/Sites/[root file directory] -- where the files are stored
I also tried some typical localhost ip address
None access my site.
How do I access my site over my local netework?
I feel like just dumping server.app and stting things up through the terminal.
Thanks,
--Kenoli

How familiar are you with the bash command line and with Apache, and how much do you want to learn about Apache and related topics? (If you're not already, then I'd encourage learning about this material, as this knowledge is very useful for maintaining and updating sites, and knowledge of correctly securing files and directories is critical to building and maintaining secure web sites — all of managing and running and updating a web server builds on these foundations. There are various good books and web sites on Apache, and the Apache web site has various materials available, if you don't already have something.)
The localhost host name and the 127.0.0.1 IPv4 address are both synonyms for the "me" host. It's the name and the address that always gets you to the current host.
With http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1 specification, what you enter at the URL address bar is relative to the root directory specified for the default web server, and will default to the index.html or index.php page or whatever the default web site is configured to use. With OS X Server, this root directory is configured via Server.app. To use Server.app, launch it, connect to the server, select Websites from the left navigation, and you (by default) will see a default site and a secure site. Select the default site. Select the edit button below the site to edit (and to view) the configuration.
With the details of the default site visible, you will see the path to the default web directory. This path to the default web directory is where the files for the default web sever location reside.
The default path to the default web site is /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default
If you place foo.html in that directory (or whatever the defailt web site is using), you can view it via your web browser and the URLs:
http://127.0.0.1/foo.html
http://localhost/foo.html
To get to the default web site using the GUI, launch Finder and select Go To Folder, and enter that string into the box. You will now get a GUI view of that folder. (I'd strongly recommend using the command line here, and not the GUI. To get to the directory from the command line and then list the files present, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities folder and issue the following commands:
cd /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default
ls
If you want to test something in the browser, you can use the file:///path-to-file-to-test mechanism. Most web browsers will allow you to render local files directly using file and three slashes.
You will need to ensure the executable files (scripts) are marked as executable to OS X, using a Terminal.app command such as the following:
chmod o+x path-to-file
Enabling ~/user per-user sites involves directly editing the configuration file, as Apple has disabled that by default.
There's an Apache tutorial with an overview of what's involved with enabling per-user directories here, and there's what's been listed in my earlier replies and links. With OS X Server Mavericks, the default configuration file for Apache is located in the Library folder, and can be viewed with the following Terminal.app command:
cat /library/server/web/config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf
This file is the OS X Server equivalent of the oft-cited httpd.conf file you'll see listed in various documentation.
If you want to enable the per-user directories or tweak other Apache settings, then shut down Apache from Server.app or from the command line, and then edit the configuration file with nano or some other command-line editor using a command similar to this:
sudo nano /library/server/web/config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf
you'll end up finding and uncommenting (removing the #) from the following two lines:
#LoadModule apple_userdir_module ${SERVER_INSTALL_PATH_PREFIX}/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_userdir_apple.so
#Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
If you have specific questions about this, then I and others here can answer those. If you don't understand something, then asking a question about that can help you learn, and can help me understand what it is that I'm posting in my replies here that's confusing you. There are also various resources available for learning Apache, and I'd encourage spending a little time with those if you've not already done so or feeling at all unsure about how that tool works; I end up re-re-reviewing the Apache docs fairly regularly.

Gettin "Assertion Failed" message and "Assert: parent node must have _DOMElement set", first when trying to bookmark and then when the "auto fill" on some web sites is used. Started after 3.6.9 automatic upgrade.

Open Firefox and navigate to web site. Try to save to bookmarks and get the "assertion Failed" message and "Assert: parent node must have _DOMElement set" followed by a list of 8 (0-8) items.

Try the Tiny Menu extension. I am using an older version of Tiny Menu on Lucid with Firefox 3.6.x and it works fine.

running IE 11 with registry hack for IE 9. I think the SL5 webbrowser control is set to work only in IE 7. can some one verify this or tell me how to set the WebBrowser control up to run either IE8, 9, 10 or 11? I have same issue with machines running IE 8
and above. This Silverlight 5 application is running out of browser with the elevated privileges (hack) and at test certificates install in proper stores. This application has been running for 2.5 years. Vender switch on some changes a couple days ago that
broke this application. Help!!

Hi,
It seems there is nothing to do with IE mode.
Please make sure your link still can be accessed.
The WebBrowser displays HTML content in applications running in a Silverlight 4 or later out-of-browser applications or in Silverlight 5 in-browser trusted applications only.

Firefox profile trys to open a mozilla web site on startup rather than the homepage I have set

Why can't Firefox set permissions for Snow Leopard Server Web-Site Wikis

I've established a web-site for collaboration of planning for a state-wide NGO and a local citizens-government oversight commission.
I'm using Snow Leopard Server v10.6.4, to drive the web-site, which includes the use of wikis.
In creating a wiki and setting permissions, I find that I cannot set permissions for users or groups to 'read only' from the default 'read & write' while using Firefox. However, I CAN set them to 'read only' using Safari. And, once the permission has been modified in Safari, THEN it can be modified in Firefox.

Solution found at http://michaeljin.wordpress.com/2010/01/05/locked-out-of-mac-os-x-server/
It’s blog update time! Updates have been a little scarce lately, been super busy with getting trophies on PS3
Anyway, recently encountered the following with a Mac mini server running Snow Leopard Server:
Despite being able to ARD / Screenshare the Mac mini, I was unable to get any further than the login window. Authentication credentials are obviously valid. No weird access permissions have been set. However, the weird thing was, I can connect to the server via Server Admin tools (from another Mac) and all other services were running without a hitch.
After much head scratching it turns out to be a sACL (Service Access Control List) issue.
This thread solved the mystery!
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1654864
To save you the trouble, I’ll lay it out here. I cannot take credit for this, but Randall can!
Open Server Admin on a computer (any), and connect with the local admin to the machine.
Select the server and authenticate.
Select Settings, then go to Access. You’ll want to make sure that Login Window and SSH have the local admin account listed if you select the option to “Allow only these users”. For now, I would suggest making sure all services have “Allow all users and groups” selected.
If (as in my case) it was set to Allow All in the first place, simply toggle the settings – back and forth.
Save.
Try logging in again… should be a good one!

Go and log out of your MobileMe account and then try logging back in again with a dummy username and password. This can help clear it and then just log back in again with your normal username and password.
Note though that iWeb does not require a password or username to use it - this is MobileMe.
Also, start thinking about MobileMe alternatives before you are forced to in June.
