Subject: About the Custom Domain
I have a domain ziyan.info. I built a subdomain blog.ziyan.info, and
set the CNAME to ghs.google.com. Then I tried to use the blogger.com
custom domain function, but it kept saying "Another blog is already
hosted at this address." I tried some nonexistence domain like
"fdsfldjaslkfa.com" and it works, but whenever i type in
something.info, it says the same thing "Another blog is already hosted
at this address." Please help me with this issue.

Right now, "ziyan.info" points to 129.21.25.44, in Rochester NY.  I
don't think that's Blogger or Google.  How long did you wait til trying
the custom domain function, after you set the CNAME?

Its not a DNS problem (at least for me).

My DNS is definately working - I can "nslookup blog.jonandersen.info"
and get the following:

> nslookup blog.jonandersen.info

Server:  lifeofbrian.mr.itd.umich.edu
Address:  141.211.125.17

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    ghs.l.google.com
Address:  72.14.207.121
Aliases:  blog.jonandersen.info, ghs.google.com

Do I have to pick a globally-unique subdomain name?  Something that no
one else on blogger.com uses?????

Sure, you dont have to pick a globally-unique subdomain name, i think
it has something to do with the .info suffix.

OK, maybe Jon's post / comment is on target.  I'm still setting up my
test, but it does look like the .info TLD is a problem.

More details here please.

Are you using Yahoo for DNS services, or for web site hosting?  If for
DNS, were the instructions similar to Google's YSB?

Hey guys, I've got this problem too and a theory.

I'd created a "Google for your domain" account to get email, calendar
and Google pages on my domain that I kept in subdomains while my root
forwarded to blogger.

I think what's happening is that blogger is trying to create a new
"Google for your domain" account and finding it already taken.  So it
assumes someone else owns the domain.  It basically comes down to an
account management issue, not DNS or anything like that.

I've sent an email to Google asking if that might be it and what I
should do (delete my account?)

Of course that's just my theory, so if anyone else has a solution lets
hear it.

Actually, that may be the solution!

I had a Google apps account for my domain, and once I deleted it then I
was able to post my blog there.

Question: Is it me, or does blogger only give you the option of either
having your domain on www.mydomain.com or mydomain.com, but not both?

I've been able to get one of my blogs to work (colonyworlds.com and
www.colonyworlds.com) but not the others (see insideorkut.com vs
www.insideorkut.com).

What gives?

No, I sent Google an email (but have yet to see a reply).

Ironically, I simply created an address on www.colonyworlds.com in
blogger (instead of simply colonyworlds.com) and it seemed to work.

Now if only I could have the other www's for my other domains.

Umm... yeah it did.

http://dailyplacebo.blogspot.com -> http://www.dailyplacebo.com

I can't believe I rampaged through my CNAMEs before I tried that.  I'm
gonna assume that they changed the system and my original diagnosis was
correct.

I think I'm just gonna set up some domain forwarding back to blogger
for http://dailyplacebo.com as a quick fix cause I'm tried of messing
with this today.

Same problem here.

Already used Custom Domain feature to point a .com domain name. No
problems.
When trying to do that with a .info domain name, I receive the error:

"Another blog is already hosted at this address"

I also already sent an email to Blogger team directly. Still unanswered.

Glad to hear I'm not going nuts, I definitely owned my .info domain 10
minutes ago but got the same error - thought someone had tried to
connect it with their blog without registering it first. Would
appreciate an update if/when you hear back.

Google Apps team replied back to me today.

Basically, to have your account deleted you need to contact them. Then,
in order to verity that you own your domain, you have to create a
subdomain (example: chicken.mydomain.com) and reply back to them, or if
you are hosting your own server, create a weird file (example:
mydomain/oogieboogie.html).

I've decided not to do it, as Uncle Google (I think) fixed my site so
that I have both Blogger and Google Apps on the same domain! (at least
for ColonyWorlds.com that is).

Thanks Google!

I don't even have that domain hosted with Google Apps. It is also .info

Hey Guys! (and Gals!)

I think I may have stumbled upon a solution regarding the mysterious
"404 error" (aka to "www" or not to "www", that is the domain
question).

So far I've been able to get this to work across my other weblogs, and
if it works for the last one I'll detail the solution here (or perhaps
a link since my last lengthy post disappeared on Google Groups, and I
don't know why).

Stay tuned!

Okay Guys and Gals!

After testing this on four of my weblogs consistently, I think I've
stumbled upon a (semi-quick) solution.

http://www.darnellclayton.com/2007/01/resolving-that-404-www-blogger-...

Note: I don't know why this works, but after stumbling across it on two
of my blogs, I tested this on the remaining two (and it worked).

Enjoy!

Hidden Nook/Darnell,

Could you please post the "solution" the quick one, in its totality
here...for godaddy.com for example..

Here is what I understood... correct me please, thanks.

1. change your custome domain at blogger to point to your domain...
choose without the www lets say... mine for example:
israelchiropractor.com

2. at godaddy:  create the a subdomain eg. google that fowards to
http://www.israelchiropractor.com  This is the quick fix you mentioned
in your post to solve the either or dilemma, correct?

3.  this just leaves the cname portion of the equation... which i'm
confused about... there's the ahost cnames and mx panels...

delete the ahost? and then what else?

thanks,  dan
