Ever since Google ended its free Google Apps accounts, we've been seeing reports in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, about problems encountered when setting up a new Google Apps account, to administer a newly purchased custom domain.
The limited function free Google Apps accounts, which can be only used for domain maintenance, do not work with the Google Apps account setup wizard, which is generally used after using "Buy a domain". When you see "Invalid request" or "Server error", you need to reset the password for the "bloggeradmin" account, for your domain.
Start by accessing the Google Apps administrative account reset wizard, for your domain. If you use GMail for your email, or other Google products, try to use a different browser for Google Apps. Alternately, use an "Incognito" window, in Chrome - or a "Private" window, in Firefox. Or, clear cache, cookies, and sessions - then restart the browser, when possible.
For this domain, "nitecruzr.net", I would access the account reset wizard as
You simply change "nitecruzr.net", to your domain URL, to reset the administrative password for your domain.
(Update 2013/11/03): This process should be slightly simplified, with Google Apps now using the new integrated Google login screen.
Having solved the CAPTCHA in the reset screen, Google will send a password reset email message, for the "bloggeradmin" account for your domain, to the email address used by your Blogger account. Once again, this is a bad time to be using Blogger anonymously.
Open your email, then open and execute the email message, to reset the bloggeradmin Google Apps account. Be sure to enter the complete Google Apps account name, in the Google account reset screen.
Once the password is reset, login to Google Apps. Then retrieve the login tokens, from the Google Apps desktop, to access eNom or GoDaddy.

How did you have a separate subdomain for blogging ?
I registered a domain through Blogger. I don't really want to use the main mydomain.com to go to the blog. I want to use a subdomain like blog.mydomain.com and I want mydomain.com DNS settings to route to my own web server How do I do that ? Thanks
You're going to have to post your problem in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, and ask for help there.
You set the password - using a standard Google password reset process.
