Q: Domain.sites2 will not open after Lion install

After installing Lion and performing all of the updates and upon clicking on our Domain.sites2 file, iWeb opens with the original "create a new website" screen and it won't load the actual Domain.sites2 file.

 

I've tried following other threads of running disk utlilites, deleting the app, removing .plist files and performing a reinstall with updates and to avail no luck!

 

After looking at the [ - library/application support path ] it seems that the iWeb folder is no longer present.  Even after adding a iWeb folder manually and inserting the original Domain.sites.2 file, it still won't work.

 

Does anyone have a "solid" fix for this?

 

HELP!

    If you're running iWeb 3 it's not a big problem having multiple website in the same domain file as each can be published to a folder or FTP client individually from iWeb.  If the sites become very large than it might be worthwhile to have each site in its own domain file.

     

    In any case be sure you maintain current backups of the domain files on another HD.

    Yes, i am running iWeb 3 but need to have separate files as i work with teachers and then we move the domains to their computers for future work. As you mention, when the files get big, it becomes a problem. And, just as a matter of organization, I like to keep separate projects separate.

     

    I also did your chflags suggestion - was the library file under home previously hidden? (I hadn't noticed!) So thank you for that too.

     

    Also, just curious, when I go to the site below, thinking to suggest to some others about iweb switch domain, it basically leads me back to this discussion and your link to the complied version. When I tried the complied version I got the error "OSSstatus errror -67049"  would be great if there were a complied version which worked with Mountain Lion for those less daring than I to do script.

    That site is a diffrernt application entirely and for Windows only.  If you want to download the compiled version of my Automator workflow use the link in my post: iWeb Switch Domain

     

    Or it can be downloaded from Toad's Cellar

    Thank you X 10 for this.  I was struggling, not finding any happiness in the forums.  This works beautifully.  Very much appreciated.  And a super big thank you to Cyclosaurus.

     

     

    Very much appreciated,
