Hey all,

My harddrive from my Macbook Pro recently failed and everything was newly installed. I made a back-up from my folder "Webpages" (I don't use iDisk), but forgot to back-up my "domain-file". Is there a way to work with my site again?
When I open iWeb, it don't find my website...

I hope someone can help me, thanks in advance! Greetings, Fleur

To use your site with iWeb, you'll have to create it from scratch again. iWeb uses the Domain file to read your website information. If you know how to program in HTML and Javascript, you can use the website folder you saved with any HTML editor. I know that's not the answer you wanted, but there is no way to retrieve the site with iWeb without the Domain file. I learned that the hard way.
