Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I moved iweb to a new computer (new to me). Moved "domain" to Library/application support/iweb and it still wont open my site.
Using Lion, iWeb 3.0.4 on a MacBook Pro Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Mac OS X (10.7), iWeb 3.0.4
By "Domain", you mean Domain.sites2
Yes, Domain.sites2
Have you tried opening it directly from the Library/application support/iweb Folder, by double clicking on the Domain file.
Do you get any messages
Yes.
Nothing Posted in the forums that I have read has worked. I have trashed the I web preferences as well.
It still loads on my old computer but I have moved almost everything to the MacBook.
Was iWeb already installed on the new Macbook. If not how did you install it.
installed from the disk then did the software update.
Have you tried using another copy of the Domain.sites2 from the old computer
Multiple times. I duplicate it, stash one to use the next time. I have copeid the original several times as well. And, I have placed it back in the the old mac to see if the copy was corrupt and it worked.
Since nothing else has worked and the domain file works on the other computer, why not copy the iWeb app and its files from the old computer to the new instead of installing from the DVD.
I believe the only file you would need to transfer would be:
/Applications/iWeb
~Library/Application Support/iWeb
I think the ~/Library/ Preference files should recreate themselves
If you are using Lion, then do a search of this forum - there are plenty of posts like yours posted and apparently it is a known fact that Lion will not open multiple domain files in iWeb. There are things that you can do to get around this and it just means downloading something extra.
There is something about hidden files also - I don't really know as I have not upgraded to Lion yet.
In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible. To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
That being said once you move the original Domain.sites2 file into the new Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder download and run this application to select the domain file to be opened with iWeb: iWeb Multi Domain. It makes a modification to the iWeb preference file each time it's run so the domain file you choose will be the one opened.
The application is the following script that Cyclosaurus offered to us in one of his posts that someone added the iWeb icon to. Or you can copy it below and make your own scrip applicaiton.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"
delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
OT
That Worked!
Thank You.
I moved domain, but iWeb still wont open my site.
