Yahoo domain name hosted by .mac account

I have the domain www.innocentsurfschool.com which I bought through yahoo. I have followed the steps for using a "personal domain" with iWeb. i.e I have gone to my yahoo "advanced DNS settings" and changed the "CNAME." I have put this info in these fields:
A Record innocentsurfschool.com Yahoo! IP Address
A Record www.innocentsurfschool.com Yahoo! IP Address
CNAME Record *.innocentsurfschool.com web.mac.com
CNAME Record mail.innocentsurfschool.com web.mac.com
The problem is that iWeb publishes to:
http://web.mac.com/innocentsurfschool/InnocentSurfSchool/Home.html
when I type in
www.innocentsurfschool.com
I am taken to the old (not up to date) version of the site. How do I fix this?
The weird thing is that when I click on "visit site" in iWeb, it takes me to the old version of the site at www.innocentsurfschool.com. I am not sure why this happens or if it is relevant?

Can anyone give me a little bit more clarity on this subject? I'm trying to get my iweb site published to my personal domain site of rivergolf.com that is registered with Yahoo! Not sure what to enter as the "source" and "destination" when editing the CNAME and A record entries.
Is web.mac.com the source or destination? Thanks.

  • How do you set up more than one Personal domain name to your .Mac account

    I have registered 3 domain names changed all the cnames to web.mac.com.
    Now on the menu to set Personal domain on my .Mac account it only lets you add 0ne Domain name?
    How do we add more or is there a limit?

    You can only set one domain name. You can of course use other means to forward the other two to the one you have put in your .Mac Account Settings.

  • Pointing my new domain name too my .mac homepage

    Hi, please can someone tell me how to point my new domain name to my .mac account? I usually have to change DNS settings but I can't find them anywhere on this site.
    Thanks

    You may already figured this out, but I had the same problem and later learned that Apple will not provide a DNS number. I had to pay my domain host to forward my domain (aka "domain forwarding") so that someone typing in my domain is automatically forwarded to my Apple homepage. Even then, viewers will see the very long iWeb url in the domain/url field, and so to avoid that, you might consider paying a few more bucks to get "domain masking", which replaces the long winded iWeb urls with your domain. The only problem with that is no matter what page of your site the visiter is on it always says your domain (www.xxxxxx.com) in the domain/url field. Its a compromise, but at least you have the satisfaction of using your personalized domain name and the ease of use of Apple's iWeb system.

  • Using a domain name with the mac site

    If I use a domain name on Site #2, does that mean that Site #1 will automatically have the same domain name?
    I already have a Site #1 up and running. Now I purchased a new domain name that I would like to use only for site# 2. I was worried about going in with any edits to Site #1 just in case it would go to the new domain name instead of where it is right now.
    Any light on that subject?

    If you have 2 websites in the same domain folder the uppermost site or the site that you most recently published will be linked to your domain name. If you don't want it to be then you need to re-publish with the site that you want to be linked to your domain name is uppermost. You can move the sites around by dropping and dragging.
    The easiest thing to do is to separate the sites so that you have site 1 in 1 folder and site 2 in another. Following this, the site that you publish first will be linked to your domain name. If it is not this site that you want then just publish the other site.
    How do you have the first site set up? Is it using CNAME or web forwarding? Have you entered your personal domain name into your .Mac account?
    If you have one .Mac account and two websites and two personal domain names, then you can use CNAME for one site and web forwarding with or without masking for the other site. You can only enter one domain name into one .Mac account.

  • Post .mac site to another domain name still on mac server?

    I have both a domain name that is .mac and a .biz url. I do not have another server to upload to (I just own the domain name), and would like to use my .mac website designed using iweb '06 v.1.1.2 and load it on the mac server but have the .biz url be the url the public will use... this is for a business website. How do I do this?
    The directions in all the help files assume the use of another server holding the domain name... maybe this is a requirement, but seems to be a waste to have a .mac account but have to have such a convoluted url for the public.
    Is this possible?

    Hi there,
    little correction: they don't assume having another server. They assume having it registered from a domain registrar. Which is quite different. You have to tell the domain registrar to point the domain to .mac.
    This page may help... At least I hope it does...

  • Netbios/Partial Qualified Domain name for a Mac?

    Is it possible to set a Netbios/Partial Qualified Domain name for a Mac the way one sets it for a PC? If so, where can this be set? Apparently, this is what my router uses to report clients connected by DHCP.
    Mike

    that did not work - I have a name entered in the
    Sharing preference menu, and it does not show up.
    Did you try setting the "DHCP Client ID" in the Network pane of System Preferences?
    Even doing this may not work though... I know I had trouble getting a host name to show up correctly at my work. The DHCP server had picked up the previous name of my system and there didn't seem to be anything I could do from the client side to get it changed. The old system name was associated with my machines MAC address in the DHCP server and nothing I did from the client seemed to allow me to refresh the name the server had already latched onto. The network guys eventually had to delete the entry for my system off of the DHCP server and then allow my system to request a new IP address and refresh it's entry in the server. I have no idea how you might do something like this on a LinkSys router. I suppose the DHCP servers that run on these little personal routers are pretty rudimentary. I guess you might try doing some sort of reset on the router to see if it would reload client names. Or if you have your router configred to only allow connections from specific MAC addresses you might try deleting the entry for your Mac and then adding it back to see if that would trigger it to pick up a new client name.
    sorry; I started a new thread because my question
    is now much more focused. Someone told me the
    Linksys router gets that info from the netbios name,
    so I figured I should ask that specific question
    with that specific subject title - maybe someone
    knows how to specify this netbios name for a Mac,
    but might not know or care anything about routers
    and my specific problem.
    It seems understandable that PCs would send their NetBIOS names to a DHCP server... but it seems to me that a Mac would send it's "sharing" name. I doubt that a LinkSys router would specifically request a NetBIOS name, but I don't really know... I don't have any experience with them. I suppose you could try turning on "Window Sharing" in system preferences to see it that made you Mac look more like a Windows box to the router. :^\

  • Help:Domain name forwarding to .mac URL

    Experts - newbie here - used iweb and built my site. Forwarded my domain name to the .mac URL and everytime I try to access the domain name I get a .mac screen that says my .mac iweb site does not exist. Seemed all rather simple with point and click so now what? Thanks

    everytime I try to access the domain name I get a
    .mac screen that says my .mac iweb site does not
    exist.
    Most likely you made an error in the url. If you would provide the two urls someone could probably help you fix it, otherwise it's pretty impossible.

    You're looking for something completely different if
    what you're after is to have your DHCP server (your
    router) report your computer name.
    yep - that's what I'm looking for but everything else didn't pan out so I'm following up the suggestion of our IT guy (which is that it reports the Netbios name).
    I don't know what brand or model of router you're
    using but with a Linksys brand router it reports the
    yep - I've got a Linksys, about 2 years old (802.11b).
    computer name, which is set on your Mac under Apple
    menu --> System Preferences... --> Sharing. The
    Linksys router will report the computer name
    typically found under Status --> Local Network -->
    DHCP Clients Table.
    nope - I've got it set as "Michael Levin Laptop", but the Linksys router shows it (and all of the other Macs on the network) as "¸#Єª"... Any way to debug this?
    What you'll notice is that none of this has anything
    to do with Windows. Today's basic networking is
    platform agnostic.
    I thought so; it was a desperation move, based on my IT person's suggestion...

  • Can't view my personal domain html hosted on .mac mobleme

    I just set up a mobleme or .mac trial account because I am now using iWeb to redisign my web page. When I publish the site it gives me a message saying I can now view my web page at http://mywebdomain.com but when I click the menu to view it the web browser takes me to the adress but it is the .mac page and it says it doesn't exist. When I check my .mac personal settings the page is listed as my personal domain and the iweb file is listed in my iDisk file menu. so where is my site and how do I fix this problem?

    Okay, so have you entered your domain name into the personal domain setting in your MMe account?
    Have you been to your domain name registrar or hosting company and changed the DNS settings so that you can set-up CNAME to re-direct your domain name to MMe? If not you need to do this before you can view your site. It will be something similar to www, then pick CNAME from a drop down menu or fill in and then web.me.com and CNAME is set. It can take up to 24 hours to take effect though.
    If you have not altered these settings then you need to for your site to be visible. However, you can still view your site by going to web.me.com/username/sitename. All sites can be seen like this even if you have set up a personal domain.

  • How can I publish a website to a different domain name other than .mac

    I have a domain name with godaddy.com and I want to publish a website design with iweb. How can I do it?

    You need to sign up with a web hosting service and then upload your published files using an FTP application.

  • Lists: domain name host name?

    In the 'General' tab of the Mail service window in Server Admin I've got the following:
    Domain name: subdomain.mydomain.com
    Host name: mail.mydomain.com
    So my e-mail addresses like [email protected] work fine. But what's weird is that when I'm creating mailing lists , the internal users get added to it like this: [email protected]!? Why is it that? Why don't they get added with [email protected]?
    Because the problem is if they send something to the list, it gets denied because the mailing list considers them non-members!
    Any ideas what the problem could be and how to correct that?
    Thanks.

    All,
    From the Mail Service PDF Manual;
    "Adding a Subscriber to an Existing List
    This is the same procedure as adding a user to a newly created list.
    To add a subscriber to an existing list:
    1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computer & Services list.
    2 Click Settings.
    3 Select the Lists tab.
    4 Select the List to which you want to add a subscriber.
    5 Click the Add button under the Members pane.
    6 Enter the recipient’s email address.
    The email address must match the return address of the recipient to post messages
    without administrator approval.
    If a user was added via the “Users and Groups” button, the email address in the list will
    be in the form of “[email protected]”. If necessary, change the email address in
    the mailing lists panel of Server Admin to match the return address used by the client.
    7 Assign the subscriber privileges.
    8 Click OK."
    In other words, click in the user's email field and edit the address to suit - by default Mailman treats the list as belonging to the machine's host name, not to the email domain/sub-domain, which is the most logical since you could have multiple domains/sub-domains configured.

  • Domain name, host name - what goes where?

    So to clear the pipeline and reduce the amount of configuration, I decided to get rid of my router and plug my server directly into the modem, thus using the server as the gateway/router for other computers in my home. Hopefully this will eliminate the need for an internal/private network DNS configuration as well as an external/public DNS configuration.
    I have a registered public domain name of N.com and an associated public MX record for this domain which is also named N.com (as opposed to mail.N.com or something similar).
    I reinstalled the Leopard Server software and when the setup asked for a "primary DNS name" I named it N.com (the same name as my registered public domain). I went into firewall settings in the Server Admin and "allowed"/opened port 25 as well as 80 for email and web services respectively.
    When I looked in the Mail settings the default domain name is "localdomain" and the default hostname is N.com (the same as my registered public domain). Default user addresses are [email protected] I have no problem seeing the server's webpages from the internet, but I still cannot get any mail from the internet to show up in my user accounts.
    What more do I need to do?

    an educated guess-
    does the client's email system have something like Spam
    Assassin filtering
    incoming mail?
    is this cgi script matt wright's formmail?
    If yes to both- Spam Assassin is rating the formmail
    generated email as spam
    based on the subject line and default first line of text in
    the message
    body.
    A fix-
    1) hand edit the formmail script, find and change:
    Below is the result of your feedback form
    to any other text
    2) use the optional field to change the subject line from the
    default.

  • Domain name/host name/external hosts

    I have an external website, for argument sake: waterworld.net
    I want to host the mail internally, and i have set up DNS records with my name registrar that has the A record point to my external web host, and I have created an MX record of "mail.waterworld.net" which points to the ip address of where I am hosting the mail server.
    Should i give my server a name that looks like a fqdn based on my website? or should it be called something simple like "server.loc"? currently, that is what I have done.
    Then in the general settings of the mail server, under Domain name (where it reads: enter the LOCAL internet domain name), should I use:
    server.loc
    waterworld.net, or
    mail.waterworld.net
    Then the next option, Hostname, I am guessing that is one of:
    waterworld.net, or
    mail.waterworld.net
    I have done a search, and the closest I have found was this post, but it's a different question based around a similar situation.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10580535&#10580535
    I am not a total newbie, and have been running my own mail server for a few years now, and I'm pretty sure I didn't do it correct last time, so thought I would try and get it right from the start this time. Sorry guys, if this is a really basic question, but I want to get this right.
    thanks

    Then in the general settings of the mail server, under Domain name (where it reads: enter the LOCAL internet domain name), should I use:
    [snip]
    This field sets the primary domain of the server - the domain it accepts mail for. in this case it would make sense to set 'waterworld.net'.
    Then the next option, Hostname,
    This sets the name it advertises itself as when sending outgoing mail. This should be mail.waterworld.net.

  • Domain Name & Hosting the Website

    I have made a website for an event I am planning in March. Is there a place on Apple where I can purchase my domain name and host it there? or should I be using another place? I need it to be as cheap as possible...but still be a good place for hosting my website.
    Ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Is there a place on Apple where I can purchase my domain name and host it there?
    No. Apple only provides hosting via MobileMe. If you want to purchase a domain name then go to a domain name provider like HostExcellence.com or GoDaddy.com. Both offer domain names and hosting services if you'd like to keep them all together.
    If you host on MMe these AD topics and Apple documents will give you info on how to set it up:

  • MORE THAN ONE DOMAIN NAME WITHIN MY MOBILEME ACCOUNT ?

    I own more than one domain name. Can Mobileme host more than one of them and keep them separate for viewers so that somebody logging in to website 1 does not also get the files etc for website 2 ?

    Welcome to the discussions, Mrs Green. MobileMe doesn't host domain names +per se+ — MobileMe accepts a re-direction of a domain name to its servers. MobileMe will accept only one domain name re-directed via CNAME, but can accept more re-directed domain names via "WebForwarding".
    ...and keep them separate for viewers so that somebody logging in to website 1 does not also get the files etc for website 2 ?
