Rescuing iWeb project to convert it to EverWeb??



User: Ben L. 10 years ago
I'm a filmmaker ... who's just spent a year in production (and away from building websites) ... and who will have three new films to push in the next month. I've got a number of old iWeb sites I was using prior to this last year. I want to convert them to EverWeb now that I will be going into serious distribution mode.

My problem. When I try to open the iWeb projects (by double clicking open the Domain.sites2 project file ... they open into a BLANK iWeb project. The original projects are not corrupted, I don't think. If I do a 'Show Package Contents' all the files are still there. This is about 5 different websites, from different drives, so I don't see how they could all become corrupted.

I'm running the latest of the latest of everything on this new-this-year Macbook Pro. Yosemite 10.10.5.

Is this an issue out there does someone know? I haven't got any feedback from the Apple Discussion forums.

Is there a fix, or workaround? Or some way to rebuild the sites into EverWeb format by working with the site itself?

All ears,


Ben

The problem you describe started with Lion (10.7), so it's not new.

According to your post in Apple Discussions you have 10.6.8 :

If you search the iWeb forum at Apple Discussions you will find hundreds of topics that explain how to open a domain file if you have more than one.

Thank you Jumbo T. That must have been a previous laptop. I should reset on Apple. I'll go looking for the 'hundreds of topics'. I did a few searches before asking here and came up with nothing particularly relevant. Not having your skill at searches obviously. Will post a 'specific' solution here if I find it.

Not having much luck on the Apple Discussions site Jumbo T. There are a small collection of posts (I'm still looking for the 'hundreds'). And they are all old and relating to Lion, which is two operating systems back I believe. I don't want to start messing with the terminal and writing code. So I'm still looking.
