Trouble Viewing iWeb site on dot Mac account

I have a home office and I also have a studio. When I am at home working, I have no trouble viewing photo pages on my dot mac account from either Safari or Firefox.
When I am at my studio, however, I cannot browse my photo pages on Safari nor with Firefox.
Safari gives me the "server stopped responding" error and Firefox displays "the server timed out".
So, what's up with this?
At the home office, I use wireless DSL access with a MacBook. At my studio, I'm using an iMac wirelessly on my network. The the service provided is through Comcast broadband cable modem.
On both machines, I have iLife & iWork 08. I do not sync my dot mac account with the 2 machines. The original files for the photo pages reside on my studio iMac.
So why can I browse my way through my photo pages when I'm surfing the web from my home office, but am unable to see them when I'm working at my studio?
Thanks for assisting me if you can.

I will when I go back to my studio. I'm just trying to understand where you are going with this. I have contractors who work in and out of my studio with their laptops. They use XP & Vista and they have absolutely NO problem what so ever accessing my photo pages. In fact, when I couldn't access from my iMac, I had one of them check to see if the site was down. They could see my pages just fine with no problem. So...if they can reach them using the same network while sitting at the desk next to mine...why can't my iMac reach the pages?
Thanks.

Is it possible to have 2 iWeb sites with one .mac account?

I am trying to create a business site with my CV (resume) and work credentials as well as a personal site with photos etc for family and friends. Is this possible to do with iWeb?

To keep sites totally separate for publishing you
need to keep their data files totally separate,
either by switching them in and out or by running
iWeb from separate user accounts. The data file is
located at
Users/username/Library/Application
Support/iWeb/Domain
thank you -- that's gonna have to be the answer I guess, til they hopefully add a new feature.. my non-.mac site is for my kids' swim team, so I'll just create a 'swim team' user account for now. Not TOO inconvenient, I don't suppose.
If you have two sites in the same data file already
you can separate them by making a copy of the current
Domain, then deleting one site from the current
Domain, putting that somewhere safe, inserting the
old Domain copy, and deleting the other site from
that, giving you two Domains each with one site.
keeping my fingers crossed that this works.
thanks again,
Jo

Hosting Your iWeb Site From Your Mac

If you don't have a .Mac account or you don't want to pay a monthly fee to host your new website you created with iWeb, you can use OS X's built-in Apache Web server. To accomplish this, follow the steps in the link below.

I was able to get this to work, using the same configuration you mention. The way I did it was to set up the IP address on my LAN using fixed static addresses, and to have the router "forward" the http packets to the Mac running Apache. In Network system preferences panel, you also need to set the DNS servers address to the address of the router on the LAN. In order to reduce hackers trying to break in, I don't use the standard port 80 for my address, but use some other 4-digit port (e.g., 8182), so my website address ends up looking like www.whatever:8182. Instead of "no-IP.com" I used the free dynamic name service from http://www.dyndns.com/. I also put the web content on a firewire disk, which requires a little editing of the httpd.conf file. This was another security precaution. Anyhow, its been working great -- not a single problem. Also, Weblock is great shareware that lets you assign login IDs on the web folders.

Best way to publish multiple sites without a .mac account?

Hi, all you mac geniuses out there!
So, I have a mac and a .mac membership and iweb. I use and love all of them. I also have a business in which I am about to incorporate the service of designing websites for various individuals. I would love to be able to use iweb for this. However, I can't put it all on my .mac account. So, my questions are the following:
1. Do I charge people extra and buy them a .mac account so they have their own idisk even though they won't need the e-mail and other .mac features?
2. Can I create a website for them on iweb, buy a domain name for them through godaddy or somewhere, publish to a folder, and then upload to a separate hosting space (like through godaddy or somewhere)? And if that's the case, what is the best (and easiest) place to host a site and how exactly does one go about uploading the site once it's published to a folder? Will it still look like the iweb layout?
3. Any better suggestions?
Thanks!
Lisa

1. Do I charge people extra and buy them a .mac
account so they have their own idisk even though they
won't need the e-mail and other .mac features?
I don't think this would be necessary...
2. Can I create a website for them on iweb, buy a
domain name for them through godaddy or somewhere,
publish to a folder, and then upload to a separate
hosting space...
Yes. The best thing for you to do would be to get familiar with a program called "iWebSites" ( http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/ ). I'm sure you don't want your personal .Mac website to be mixed in with your client websites. In addition, you will appreciate the ability to be able to publish your various websites INDEPENDENTLY of one another, so that you only publish your personal site to your .Mac account and your client sites individually as needed. iWebSites helps you to create separate Domain files for iWeb so that each website can "live" in its own space and be edited and published separate from every other site.
But yes, as far as your client websites go, prepare for a new site with iWebSites, design the site in iWeb, then "Publish to Folder" and then register and upload to the appropriate domain name server directory. I think this would be a slick way to run your business....full service, right?
Let me know if you have any other questions.

2 Site in one .mac account

Can iWeb publish 2 sites in one .mac account?
Example:
Site 1
http://web.mac.com/myaccount/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html
Site 2
http://web.mac.com/myaccount/iWeb/Site2/Welcome.html (protected with password)
Can anyone advise me? Thanks

How do you keep the two sites seperate?
Do you have two Domain.sites files?
If you have them in seperate folders, see this thread:

Moving my iweb site to another mac

Is it possible to move my iweb site from one mac to another? If so how do I do it?
Thanks,
Mike

Lucy,
iWebSites is a beta application capable of merging separate Domain files. It gets good reviews in this forum.
You will not overwrite one Domain file with another unless you intentionally replace a Domain file with another, just like any like-named file. Keep your Domain files in their own folders, folders that are named for the sites the respective Domain files contain. Open the Domain file/Site of your choice by first opening it's folder and then double-clicking on the Domain file inside.

I have had a dot mac account for years. Do is still have to pay anything for this?

I have had a dot mac account for years, with my family also having .mac email addresses and me having to pay for it each year. It then changed to me.com and then icloud? Do i still have to pay anything for this if i just want the email addresses? Or do i only have to pay when i want extra icloud storage?

Thanks Csound. For storing stuff like Imovie (using the Theatre service) Is the icloud storage the best, most cost effective way or are there other (cheaper/better) palces to store movies in the 'Cloud'? thanks again

Using iWeb for non dot-mac sites

Hi all,
I own a number of domains that I'd like to use iWeb on. Am I able to utilize iWeb for a non .mac domain, or do I need to use something like Dreamweaver?
Many thanks.
-Hugh

No, in fact I have a sneaky suspicion that not using dot-mac sites will eliminate a lot of problems other people have. You will also lose some of the effects like the nicer slideshow etc.
I have never used dot-mac and never encountered any of the uploading/publishing problems that are so often mentioned on this forum.
Here is what you do:
After editing your website you choose :Publish to a folder.
This lets you choose a location on your hardrive into which all the necessary files will be compiled/rendered. In this folder you will find an htlm file plus a folder with the necessary files for easch of your pages.. This publishing is done lightning fasy pecause it is done locallly and not trhough your internetconnection like when you published to dot-mac. Also post-editing is easy and hassle free.
For editing and uploading my website I use "Transmit" but there are lots of other applications like "Fetch"
What to upload?
Well I believe the jury is still out on this.
I just upload the contents of the published folder and that works for me. Other publish the whole folder plus the dummy "Index file" that is generated outside that folder. You will heve to find out for your self.
If any changes or editing has to be done afterwards, I republish and then just upload the altered files.
There is one more thing I do, and I believe others don't. I keep my domain file in the same folder where I keep the Published folder.
E.g. there is a festival website, so I have a folder "Festival" in which I keep the domains file, and the published "Festival website" folder.
This way it is easy to keep various different websites.
When you want to edit one of them, go to that folder and double click the domains file, this will start iWeb with the right website for you to edit.
Really very easy.

Posting iweb sites on a .mac family account...

I have just upgraded my .mac account to a family pack, converting my wifes email only account so she has full .mac goodies. Can we both upload separate iweb sites without overwriting each other? If so how?
Thanks in advance,
Lee

This is from the .mac help menu:
You should have separate accounts addresses
Setting up a Family Pack sub-account
If you purchased a Family Pack account, you can set up four sub-accounts. A Family Pack sub-account includes 2.5 gigabytes (GB) of combined email and iDisk storage.
Note: .Mac Family Pack sub-accounts cannot add email-only accounts or upgrade storage.
To set up a sub-account:
1. If you're not already logged in to .Mac, go to www.mac.com, and log in.
2. Click Account in the left column of the .Mac homepage, and then confirm your login.
3. Click Manage Accounts.
Note: You can manage accounts only if you have a full .Mac membership.
4. In the Family Pack Sub-accounts section, click the Set Up Account button and follow the onscreen instructions.
If you go to the .mac page and click on the help button upper right you can find other related topic.

New family pack .mac - how to republish iweb parts to new .mac accounts

Ok, that subject isn't very clear so I'll try here: Tonight I upgraded my .mac to a Family Pack. I have split my previous iWeb 'domain.sites2' into individual sites that I have renamed. One needs to go to my hubby's computer under his .mac account and I want to put some of the others under the other newly created .mac accounts on my own computer. How to I tell each of the new 'xxx.site2' to be published under the correct .mac?
Thanks!

do you know how the public folders work? Am I missing something in setup?
You have to click on your Harddisk (Macintosh HD) then go to "Users" and there you will find the different users accounts and you are able to view the content of the public folders (not going to HD and then Home where you put stuff in).
But public folders permissions are read-only. To move things from one user account to the other you should use "Shared Folder" instead of the "Public Folder". Go to your HD, "Users", and drop the stuff into Shared. Shared has Read & Write permissions.

Small Business on iweb or using dot mac

Hi, I am wonder is there any way to do a small business using iweb or using other tools integrated with dot mac?
I am looking for something like isell that allows easy edit, shopping cart, visa payment method, etc(however, this need additional subscription with macdock or rapidweather, and has low disk space)

You could try looking at these links....

Quote from .Mac Terms and Conditions...
"In addition to the .Mac account limitations on bandwidth and disk utilization, certain commercial or business uses are prohibited, including the following:
• Operating any type of e-commerce site, including any online store or shop, or software distribution, or any website whose primary purpose is to generate advertising revenue through the posting of automated Content (i.e. ’zombie’ site)"
You will find that a commercial hosting company will give far more reliable service, tech support and shopping cart facilities.

Merge iweb sites from multiple user accounts on same computer

With the previous iweb version, my children created their own iweb sites on their own users, but all under my own .mac account. It worked great.
But now with the new "upgraded" iweb '08, that isn't allowed anymore.
So, I created a new user on our computer for all of us to use to maintain our multiple iweb accounts on.
How can I move multiple iweb sites from multiple users on the same computer into one user?

Each of the user's work in iWeb will be contained in a single file, Domain.sites2, which can be found in this location on the hard drive for each user account. You will need to copy all of these Domain.sites2 files to an external drive, or, at the very least, burn them to a disk to make them transferable from one user account to another. A flash drive also works great for this.
Once you have made all of these Domain files accessible from the new user account that you created, you will still have a formidable task ahead of you, i.e., publishing separate sites, from separate Domain.sites2 files, to the same .Mac account/directory. In other words, bringing all of these Domain files together for access by a single user account will not solve the problem. You may very well be able to solve the problem with things the way they are, but it will involve some shuffling of Site's files on the iDisk prior to publishing.
The method I'm going to give you has worked well for me. So far, here in the forums, I've read posts from (2) other users who were also successful. Conversely, I know of at least (3) other users who have been unsuccessful with this approach. I sure hope it works for you.
Open System Preferences and go to .Mac. Turn syncing off, if it is on, and leave it off.
Now, in Finder, navigate to the current Site files on your iDisk, following this path:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/NameOfSiteFolder
Drag the Site folder that is named for your site, (not the directory Site folder), back one level on the iDisk, into the Web folder. This is where some run into difficulties--you may get an error message that the folder is "in use, and cannot be moved". I have never gotten this message, and am able to move my Site's folders around with no problem on the iDisk.
If you are successful moving the folder, choose one of your other accounts on your machine, launch iWeb, and Publish all to .Mac. The existing site on the server will not be deleted. Now, go back to the iDisk and move that site folder, (the one you just published), back one level, again, to the root Web directory. Publish your next site, from your next account.
When you are finished publishing sites, just move the Site folders back to their original location on the iDisk--Web/Sites/SiteFoldersHere. All sites will be accessible from a browser using the web.mac.com/username/nameofsite url.
It is important to use the Publish all to .Mac command in iWeb. A simple Publish to .Mac command will not put the correct index.html file in place on the server.
Post back and inform us of your success.

Move my Iweb site in two Macs

Hi,
I've two Macs, i would copy my Sites in both Macs.
It's Possible ?
And in which way ?
Thanks Fabio

Are you looking in the correct Library folder? The one you want is:
Click to view full size
If you still don't have an iWeb folder then you've never run iiWeb on that computer.
Another method you can use is to download Find Any File and use it to search for "domain.site". FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't, even invisible folders.
In Lion the Home/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
You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
