Using Personal Domain

Hello
Thanks to Roddy for advice re. inserting Google maps - I think users in UK are going to have a lot of trouble ! The required address format is so specific that most people will get it wrong. Mac have used an address format which just isn't used for normal purposes. You have to stumble upon the correct format by trial and error.
Right now I have a major problem regarding pointing iMac site at Personal domain. I have two sites within my iWeb 08 program, and I have taken the neccesary steps to point one of them ( http://web.mac.com/peterdewit1/toymaker ) to http://www.peterdewittoymaker.co.uk.
It will be transferred over the next day or so, but it indicates below the iWeb window that the other site built in iWeb ( http://www.peterdewitscafe.co.uk ) has also been pointed to the same peterdewittoymaker site. It is all very confusing.
I dont know how to disentangle this mess.
.Mac/iWeb seems to treat both of my iWeb sites as one site, divided into a toymaker bit and a cafe bit!!!
HELP ! ! !
toymaker1

Okay, I have waited a period of 48 hours for updates to be be done with my domain name:
jimleonard.com.au. NS dns1.domaincentral.net.au. 3600 Auto Active Yes
jimleonard.com.au. NS dns2.domaincentral.net.au. 3600 Auto Active Yes
jimleonard.com.au. CNAME web.mac.com. 3600 Manual Active Yes
jimleonard.com.au. A 17.250.248.34 3600 Manual Active Yes
www.jimleonard.com.au. CNAME web.mac.com. 3600 Manual Active Yes
Config is fine @ .mac:
Personal Domain
.Mac is configured to host your domain:
www.jimleonard.com.au
If you entered the correct settings at your registrar more than 48 hours ago and your iWeb site still doesn't appear at your domain, try these troubleshooting tips.
I have also made changes and uploaded to"all.mac" I am still unable to see the site with the Domain, all is fine as the .Mac address:
http://web.mac.com/jimleonard/Travel/Jim_and_SuzieTravels.html
Have I missed the point?

Streamloader error in picture gallery using personal domain

I've upgraded my site to iWeb '08 and added a Picture Gallery page to aggregate all my different picture pages. Everything works great when I'm viewing it using my web.mac.com/ URL. However, if I navigate to the page using my personal domain, which I've set up, the gallery doesn't work correctly on either Safari (mac) or IE (pc), I only get the shell page and no pictures galleries.
Works:
http://web.mac.com/ppmolina/main/Pictures/Pictures.html
Doesn't work:
http://www.molinafamily.us/main/Pictures/Pictures.html
Using the domain URL, I get these errors for each of my galleries:
Safari doesn't indicate any type of error.
IE shows these errors:
Line: 507 (it shows one error for each of my galleries)
Char: 1
Error: Permission Denied
Code: 0
URL: http://molinafamily.us/main/Pictures/streamloader.html?scriptURL=Pages/GreenbushPic_Page_files/Greenbush_PicPage.js&id=gridEntry2
Anyone else having this problem? Suggestions on how to fix it?

I am having that exact same problem, but it only started recently. I thought it was due to some adsense ads that I placed at the bottom of each page, but after I removed them the pictures still don't work. I have tried everything I can think of, but it only works if I use my web.mac.com instead of my domain.
I have only tried viewing it in Firefox, but I'm assuming the same problem will occur in IE and Safari as well.

Site made with iWeb using personal domain name

I have created a web site on iWeb 08 and have a personal domain name through Network Solutions.
The website was published to Mobile Me after "set up personal domain" was done. The C Name record was changed at Network Solutions to web.me.com. When I write the domain name in the browser a box comes down asking "idisk.mac.com" wants user name and password.
1. Why is it asking for this?
2. every ID and Password I put in, it tells me is incorrect? Ahhhhhhhh What does it want from me?
Please help - I've waisted so much time on this (since last week).
The website name is www.theplazarealty.com is you want to take a look.
Thank you

This relates to a problem I can't find in the iWeb manual. Where is my iWeb site actually published to, so I can accurately update it using FTP software, and which method to use for publishing it to domain names?
I have created two websites for two different purposes each with a personal domain (one hosted, the other with webforwarding), and through ignorance have done all three options Publish to MobileMe / Publish All to MobileMe / and Publish to a folder (my home computer user Sites folder). As a result I have three Sites folders each containing both 'mysites'- Computer/user/Sites/sitename, or iDisk/user/Sites/sitename, or iDisk/user/Web/Sites/sitename - all different sizes, worryingly, leaving me unclear which is doing what. What is the diff between Publish All to MMe and Publish to MMe - they both seem to entail both sites totally republishing even if only one page has changed. Each time, of course, it takes several minutes or more to clear through the publishing process, and then some 20-30mins more to synchronise with FTP before I find out whether I've only used the duff old version after all. What is the difference between the three Sites destination folders? Can the difference be used productively? Should I, eg, ensure my sites exist both on my computer and iDisk as backup?
Further confusing factor is that when I log into MMe and look at my folders icon on my iDisk, which are Sites and Web/Sites, the contents of the two 'mysites' folders listed under both areas are different from the SITES/iWeb display listed below them, which seems to be a truncated sort of merger of the 'mysites' contents without their separation into two. Is that iWeb item under SITES on the folders page listing a fourth set of the contents,or what?
Now to synchronising/updating: which Sites folder to use to synchronise the websites with. Can I get updating in sync with republishing? My domain host UKcentric does not provide the CNAME options you have all talked about and they are unobtainable on my hosted domain page. I sent him the web.me.com message as described in the iWeb Personal Domain instrux, but he has persistently instructed me to use FTP software to upload and update the sites. He is not Mac-friendly, he admits. I have now used three programs, ClassicFTP, FileZilla and Cyberduck, all of which seem to be rather different and none of them has told me the sync has completed (the connection drops out, etc - it does take a long time, say 30-40mins to do, and I never know when I "resume" whether it'll pick up where it was or go back to zero start). If I am stuck with this laborious method of regular manual updating, I want to know I am using the correct Sites folder to synchronise the website with. None of this is clarified in the iWeb manual. Can anyone help?

Two websites-one with .Mac and one with .Mac using personal domain

Good Day All! I know I asked this before but I think the question got wrapped in with another and I don't see that it has been answered. If I overlooked it I apologize for the duplicate post.
I have a .Mac subscription with one published website already. I am working on another website now in iWeb but I want to publish it using a personal domain name. Can I do this? If so, can I keep them from being linked together?? Does that make sense? Thanks! quinlis

Aloha,
if you use CNAME both sites will be reachable using either the CNAME or the web.mac.com/username/ address
if you use Webforwarding entering the personal domain will get to the site you pointed the domain to
but that site will also be reachable through web.mac.com/username/sitename/
I'd recommend you to use webforward with cloaking/masking/framing in your case. Thus the site you want to have the personal domain for will show the personal domain in the browser and will also be reachable through web.mac.com/username/sitename/ but your other website will not be reachable through your personal domain.
Note that using masking google will not index the content of your pages using your personal domain if you're interested in that.
Have a look at the following page for further information on setup and knowing what's CNAME, Febforward, Webforward with cloaking
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Domains.html
I guess the best way would be having a family account or two .mac accounts so you can set it up as CNAME and your other site would be published to another account or sub-account and thus not reachable using your personal domain.
Regards,
Cédric

Using Personal Domain Name with iWeb08

As per instructions I have setup my domain and made the changes to the Cname records with my Domain Registry ( https://cp.domaincentral.com.au). Domain is noted at the bottom of iWeb as I would expect and also if I upload I get the notation that the page will be seen as the domain.

How to publish changes when using a personal domain

Hi,
I am about to publish my first website using MobileMe but with a personal domain.
I have learned how to publish the site for the first time using File>Set up personal domain but what do I use when I want to publish any changes ?
Do I use the File>Publish to MobileMe option or some other method ?
Thank you

Yes. You can read more about using personal domains with iWeb here.

SPF and redirecting Personal Domain Emails to btin...

Concern has been raised due to Critical Path not delivering emails that SPF checks might stop emails, using personal domain email addresses that were redirected (ie forwarded) to btinternet addresses, being delivered. Now that Critical Path appear to have temporarily fixed the issue the following email header obtained after the fix shows that the concerns are unfounded.
It is preferable that when the "temporary" is removed removed from the current fix, BT ensure that Critical Path are not allowed to prevent delivery of any emails but pass them on to the recipient in a similar way as illustrated below.
The email header below, taken after the temporary fix by Critical Path, shows that when the redirection takes place no SPF check is done. It also shows that SPF check failure takes place when emails are forwarded from Critical Path to Yahoo.
Note that most of the header has to be read from bottom to top eg Section A followed by Section B etc.
The email was to payments@redacted ( ie @xxx.co.uk) that was redirected to [email protected] (ie [email protected])
The redirection takes place at sections B and C.
This email has several interesting features two of which are:
1. It has a spoofed senders address and
2. It contains a virus.

The "spf fail" you are seeing in your headers is actually added by Yahoo, since your mailbox has not yet been migrated to CP, and your btinternet mail is being forwarded to your BT Yahoo mailbox. Yahoo do not reject mail on SPF hard fail.   I indicated this in my post.
Prior to the relaxation of SPF reject by CP, CP was not forwarding your mail to Yahoo because CP was taking the decision to reject the mail on SPF hard fail.
I have headers before the temporary fix that have no indication of CP checking SPF.
Mail route (post relaxation of SPF reject):
Amazon -> 123-reg
Works fine
123-reg -> CP
Email now not rejected due to SPF check failed
But no indication that it did any checking.
CP -> Yahoo (if mailbox not yet migrated)
Yahoo adds SPF fail header but mail still accepted
My comments on your diagnosis is in red above.
It looks as if CP might handle "SPF hard fail policy" differently (from the obvious) than other policies eg not report them.
Has anyone got any headers for BT Mail implementations ?
Failure to deliver emails to recipients without any notification is unacceptable for any public email service.

Personal Domains and Email Accounts

I have a client that wants to use personal domain names and also wants to use email addresses with these domains. Do we need to set him up and have the website point to his .mac pages and then have the email set up on another server? Can you create email accounts to work with personal domains through .Mac?
Holla at me and let me know!!!

How to use iPhoto web gallery with iWeb & personal domain name

So, another question about iWeb 08:
I've set up my site to use a personal domain name, like www.mypersonaldomain.com. I've configured everything with my DNS settings so that it actually points to my iWeb site, and I'm happy about that.
However, I've imported a few iPhoto '08 web galleries into my site, but when I browse to them by going to www.mypersonaldomain.com and clicking on the link for my gallery, it goes to a URL that actually shows my .mac account, i.e. gallery.mac.com/sockdaddy/gallery1/photo.jpg
Is there any way to have the web galleries that I'm using become a more transparent part of my iWeb site, and use my personal domain?

I've never done this on .Mac but I do use this on my server. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
In iPhoto select your web gallery and in the "file" menu select "export" and then "Web Page".
Select your options and click "Export" to the desktop.
There are now 4 folders and an index.html file.
Change the name of the index file to whatever you want to call the page e.g WebGallery.html
Now go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and open your website folder.
Drag and drop the 4 folders and the html file from your desktop into this.
Create a link to this from your website in the "link" inspector and choose "external page".
The URL for the link will be the same as any other page on your site except WebGallery is substituted for the page name.
If you check the "open link in new window" you won't have to worry about the fact that you don't have a link back to your site from the WebGallery page.

HELP! Can I view a site I created with iWeb using a personal domain?

Sorry in advance if this question has already been addressed. I too am sort of a newbie to iWeb. I just purchased a domain name through Google Apps. I would like to create my website through iWeb using the domain name ("www.youngvoters08.com") that I already purchased through Google Apps.
At this point, I'm incredibly confused. Is it possible to type in my domain URL (that I purchased through Google Apps) and have my iWeb website come up? I set up my personal domain through .Mac and I even tried publishing its contents to a folder (that was even more confusing). The personal domain option says it will take up to 48 hours to link to my domain.
All I want for Christmas is to be able to type in "www.youngvoters08.com" and be directed to the site I created on iWeb (as opposed to creating my site through Google Apps). Is this at all possible? And does it require me to be patient for 48 hours?
I'm afraid that the .Mac personal domain option means that I have to have already created a website with another service provider, and it doesn't mean that the personal domain I already purchased ("www.youngvoters08.com") will take me to the website I created through iWeb. I'm also weary that I wasted $10.00 by buying a personal domain through Google Apps, especially if I cannot create the contents of my website through iWeb.
Did that make any sense at all??? (Sorry for the confusion and redundancy:)

If you have both sites on one domain file - that is they both load into iWeb at once - click on the name of site 2 in the sidebar and drag it to the top of the list so that it is now in the #1 position. Now do a "Publish all to .Mac".
Your domain name URL is being directed to the index.html file in the Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites folder. This file opens the site that is at the top of the list in iWeb or, if you are publishing your sites individually, the last site that you uploaded.

Can i use a personal domain name with iweb 06?

Using my Personal Domain Name on a trial version of .Mac?

Okay, I have a trial version of .mac, and am very happy with it. I used Iweb to build a good website for my artwork, and I'm all set to publish. But I want to put my registered domain name to my new site, so when you type the simple domain name (ex: "www.site.com") my .mac site that I built on Iweb will show up.
I have a previously-built site hosted by a different company where my domain name used to point. After calling the company where I bought the domain name, they had me redirect the name so it points to .mac. It didn't work. When I type in my domain name (ex:"www.site.com"), the old site comes up.
I went onto the help section of Iweb, which says to log into .mac, and in the account info section, press a button that says something about personal domains. _THERE IS NO BUTTON THERE_!!! Is it becuase I only have the trial version of .mac? I intend to buy the full version, but I wanted to play with my free trial memebership first. If I have to, though, I'll just buy the full version so I can add my personal domain name to the .mac site.
Has anyone come across the answer for this? I'm inexperienced with hosting and domains and all that...the answers I've gotten from emails are like greek to me. Can anyone help?

Is it becuase I only have the trial version of .mac?
Yes.
You should still be able to point your personal name to your .Mac site via ordinary forwarding/masking, where you normally just type http://web.mac.com/username into a form at the place which holds your name.

IWeb and using my personal domain name.

I have never published a web site before and this is a first time for me.
With having iWeb version 8 installed I have created a website with photos etc.
I have also registered a domain name to use my personal name. This is the one and only web-site I have published.
The name has been set up for forwarding with the CName as web.mac.com with the host site in the section of ‘Masked forwarding’
And in my personal settings in the account manager on .Mac the correct name has been entered to use for my iWeb site. For example www.anthonyjhowe.com which is my registered name.
In the iWeb application under file I have published all my pages to .mac.
In my iDisk folder on the Internet there is a folder named “web/sites and inside this folder, there is my gallery but also a folder named AnthonyJHowe, this has all my pages I created in iWeb.
There is another folder named “iWeb. But inside this there is one file named sites.rss, and that is all. This is replicated on my iDisk on my desktop.
Now in iWeb when I publish all to .Mac I receive a message that my site can be visited using my domain name and would I like to visit or announce the site. This lists all the pages I have published.
When I click on visit, it takes me to the .Mac welcome screen and not my site.
That’s how far I have got. It’s been over 72 hours since I registered the domain name.
I have searched and read some posts about this but I don’t seem to go any further with this.
Could you give some suggestions please and perhaps point me in the right direction?

This iWeb’s Domain Forwarding feature that has you publish the site to your .Mac account and then uses your domain name as an alias for your Web site should be relative simple procedure, but with quite a lot of posts on this subject, including myself is not easy to set up and it should be as iWeb 08 is a consumer product. There is little information about this at present.
Getting in touch with the registrars can be quite daunting and eventually you may get one person in the office that may be able to help you. Apple's information to suggest you contact the Registrar of you domain host to create a CNAME does not help an ordinary consumer either.
My issue with the Personal Domain feature is that it places the burden of making the switch on the user, and it is far from a straightforward process and my unfortunate lack of experience has led me to ask the question in the first place.
This discussion forum seems to be the only place that gets close to helping you out.
As it stands, the instructions from Apple are extremely vague, mostly advising you to contact your domain name registrar. They give no indication of what to expect or do if things that aren’t working correctly. And that's why a lot ask the question in the first place in this discussion forum. However those who have experience in dealing with these matters may not always see your post.
I can usually work out problems to do with computing, but to be honest this one has me beat and yet it should be and probably is a simple procedure to carry out. But there is either very little information to carry out the procedure or confusing information elsewhere that makes the mind boggle.
The link below is the only information I can find from Apple to help you, unless someone knows of other information.

How to 'Hide' real domain when using a personal domain name

Hello!
I'd be grateful if anyone has a solution for the following:
I use a personal '.co.uk' domain name for e-mailing, but my 'real' domain (from my ISP) shows up to the recipient when I send e-mails.
I remember from my days of using Windows that there was a way of hiding it in Outlook Express (in an article I read about personal domain use). Is there a way of hiding my 'real' domain in Mail?
Just to clarify how I'm set up with my personal domain: I bought it off 1&1 who then activated it for mail forwarding with, of course, my 'real' domain e-mail address as the destination.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

Well, you set the From: address that will appear on the email in Preferences, Accounts, Account information. (You can even add multiple email addresses in the Email address line -- just separate them with commas. Then you can select which From: address to use.)
Anyone who looks at the complete message will still be able to see where it came from, but the From: field will be what you intend.
