# domain.com/wordpress vs. domain.com

 * I have a host and a domain. Currently the site is redirected to a blogger blog.
   I want to not redirect anymore and I want my domain url to show my wordpress 
   blog. How can my domain.com/wordpress files become my domain.com files? I see
   at the wp-admin area that I can point the blogger address to my domain address,
   but how does my domain know to display the blog and not my current index.html
   page?

 * First, you will want to use the importer in WordPress to import your Blogger 
   blog. Next, login to Blogger and tell it to stop publishing to your domain (and
   take out the FTP host/username/password). Next, you should be able to delete 
   all files blogger put on your server (via FTP) (you may want to backup them up
   first). That should be it! As long as WordPress’s index.php is still in the directory
   you want to post to (and the blog is setup for that directory), you should be
   set!

 * Thanks for your quick reply.
 * So, in other words, I replace the index.html file of my domain with the index.
   php file of my wordpress folder ?
 * Should I delete all of my former files from my server?
 * Regarding your reply, I think the domain is publishing (redirecting) to the blogger
   blog and not the other way around. I put in redirect code on my domain server
   to point to my blogger blog.

 * I think I understand. If you just have one index.html file on your server that
   causes a redirect to occur (to *****.blogger.com), then you should take that 
   off the server and put the index.php file from WordPress in its place. I would
   also recommend importing your blogger blog so that you just had to worry about
   one blog (that’s just me, though).

 * I replaced the file and now get this upon entering the url:
 * Warning: main(./wp-blog-header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
   in /nfs/cust/1/60/28/282061/web/index.php on line 4
 * Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path
   =’.:/usr/local/php/include’) in /nfs/cust/1/60/28/282061/web/index.php on line

 * Wow! Now it’s redirecting to the blog again even though I removed the index.html
   file.
