Problems with XML-RPC?

Question

I'm running WP 2.1.3 (but I also tried the same on 2.0.11 and 1.5.3) in bare configuration (practically no plugins activated and no themes added) on PHP 4.4.x and MySQL 4.0.x. Posting works without any problems from inside the admin panel but any time I try to post with Windows Live Writer (latest beta) I receive the error message:

"Invalid Server Response - The response to the blogger.getUsersBlog method received from the weblog server was invalid: Invalid response document returned from XmlRpc server."


Is there something on the server side that needs to be fixed?

Any ideas what might be causing it and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

same problem here , any ideas ?

Answer 2

WP had some problems about XML-RPC.
I recommend to upgrade WP to the latest version.

Answer 3

Got the same error message too, except on another method:
 "The response to the metaWeblog.getRecentPosts method received from the weblog server was invalid:

Invalid response document returned from XmlRpc server"

. but to me isn't when I try to post, but it happens when I try to retrieve my post listing ('Open' menu). Still haven't got any solving there?

I've updated WP to the latest (currently 2.7), and still got the same problem.

Answer 4

I'm having the exact same problem.  Because Windows Live Writer has features my Wordpress software doesn't, I can't post from my website admin itself.  So I would really appreciate an answer on this.  I'm just setting up my site using WP software on a Hostgator server.

I have tried looking at my site settings, and now tried my Live Writer settings.  It can't even see my domain; it's fairly new.  Is that the problem?  I'm using WP 2.8.1, the most current Live Writer, and my server has php 5.9 .
