I have read
http://expressionengine.com/wiki/MetaWeblog_API_Client_Setup/

and I followed instructions attempting to hook into one of our blogs via Marsedit, and I am running into issues.

we have ee set up in a /home/ directory with index.php removed from the url. So example.com/home/index.php/about/ >>gets rewritten (via .htaccess and mod_rewrite) as example.com/home/about/

In the site › Modules › Metaweblog API ›MetaWeblog API Configurations
The RPC url reads as
http://example.com/home/?ACT=20&id=1

when i enter this url to Marsedit and log in the server is returning the index template rather than the xml “posts” expected as response.

Seems clear that the rewrite is making this fail. What are the workarounds?
One thought was to build a template for the feed and point it at this..

how might i do this?
other options?

(yes i know mod_rewrite is not officially supported… no really.. i’ve heard that ; > )

ok found the issue
index.php needs to be added back into the path

so http://example.com/home/?ACT=20&id=1
should read http://example.com/home/index.php?ACT=20&id=1
