Of course after taking the time to write everything up, I got it to work.
Here is the process to clone a blog to a new domain on Yahoo to support permalinks:
1. Install WordPress and MySQL from Yahoo on target domain and upgrade to current levels
2. Install Customizable Permalinks plugin by Yahoo Web Hosting and any other desired plugins and themes
3. Export WordPress database from source MySQL and import in target
4. Make sure Blog URL and WordPress URL are same
5. If desired copy index.php to home directory and modify:
require(‘./blog/wp-blog-header.php’);
6. Update Permalinks to desired option
I would still like to understand how Yahoo supports redirection so I can design my source domain redirection scheme. I sent a note to Yahoo and will update this post once I get everything to work.
