Since WP relies on the URI values that tell it where it “is”, you’ll probably have some issues until that domain name migrates.
(Options -> General is where they are set)
Also, from numerous installs I’ve done, WP works much better on some servers using MySQL 4 instead of 5. I’ve cured many errors with a roll back to MySQL 4.
I agree, the blog is probably looking for the page in a place it should not. When the domain name propogates it will likely clean up. Report back once that occurs.

Thanks. Well, I hope MySQL 5 works for me. I think my hosting service lets me switch to version 4 if it’s needed.
I’ll need to get back into the old blog once the domain name has propogated. The problem is that it will be set to the domain name and keep kicking me over there (new blog), as the new blog is kicking me to the old one (where the domain name is now). Will doing a find/replace in all files on the old blog with “mydomain.com” to “mytempdomain.com” work? Or how else should I do it?
Thanks,
Brett
The URL’s aren’t in any files. They’re in your database. This tutorial should help you locate and set them: http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/

Thanks. I can do that on the new hosting service but not the old. They don’t have an interface to the MySQL manager. I doubt they will even change this for me. Am I stuck at that point?
Thanks,

The old blog is back up. I entered in the old URL through WP admin. The blog now comes up without styles. When I try to enter the admin, I get this error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at d:\home\CYGEN.COM\blog\wp-includes\wp-db.php:368) in d:\home\CYGEN.COM\blog\wp-includes\pluggable-functions.php on line 270
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brett
