Hi :)
I want to move a blogspot blog to wordpress. The blogspot domain is http://www.glowingfaceman.com. I signed up for hosting at bluehost using this as the primary domain on the account, although the domain itself still points to blogspot. I want to finish copying the blog over *before* I change where the domain points.
So, I pointed another domain I own, http://romaji-dictionary.com, to the bluehost account, and installed wordpress with cpanel. The default blog is visible at http://romaji-dictionary.com/blog.
However, if I try going to http://romaji-dictionary.com/blog/wp-admin, it redirects to the glowingfaceman.com domain, which of course doesn't have any wp-admin directory on it!
I tried changing ABS_PATH in wp-load.php to
define( 'ABSPATH', '/home4/glowingf/public_html/blog/' );
That didn't help matters at all.
Please help!

I can't install it to glowingfaceman because blogspot doesn't allow any kind of access to the files. If we could make arbitrary changes to blogspot then there would be no reason for anyone ever to use any other host...
So is what I'm wanting to do basically impossible?

Not sure what you meant by "without the redirect".
I managed to solve the problem after browsing the forum for awhile and seeing something MichaelH wrote.
I used phpMyAdmin to manually edit the "home" and "siteurl" entries in the "wp_options" table (which were pointing to glowingfaceman). That appears to have done the trick!! :D
Thanks for the help samboll.

Well....unless you are a US public school employee, using your blog as your classroom website, in one of the thousands of schools across the US (many of them in the state of Kentucky) that blocks blogger blogs (and lots of other "evil" sites like YouTube) from being viewed on school computers.
