Hi,
I have a site (.net) that works and has traffic and I would like to rebuild it using WP.

www.domA.com

I built more than 30 wp blogs already so I know how to configure etc, but I always used a new domain.
I want to build the blog in a subdirectory : www.otherDom.com/subdir
write 301 redirects in htaccess for the old urls
and then make the domain point to the new blog

I added an addon domain to the root URL that points to: www.otherDom.com/subdir
so now www.domA.com points to the new blog

but....

when i try login in WP in www.domA.com, I get
www.otherDom.com/subdir/wp-admin/....
instead of
www.domA.com/wp-admin/....

what else should I change?

Regards
Claudia

Have you tried using Wordpress MU?
 
I'm not sure what your trying to do but if you go to your database through phpmyadmin you will see on wp_option tables theres two fields that have the url of the blog.

You gotta change that to the new location
