Thread

Hello there,

I’m trynig to setup my site: http://www.marvos.com with ecto:
http://ecto.kung-foo.tv/

Bu i can’t get it setup correctly, something is wrong with the xml-rpc file but i don’t know what that should do.
Are there any EE users who have set it up correctly?
Don’t know what i’m doing wrong…

tnx,

Marien van Os

I’m not using Ecto personally, but we have instructions in our wiki that might help out.  Since this is third party, I’m going to move this into “how to” to get more eyeballs on it for you.

OK great didn’t saw that, i think this will work out for me now!

hmm i’m getting a xml error when i installed the metaweblog api
see it over here:
http://www.marvos.com/index.php?ACT=23&id=1

Anybody know what’s going on?

Your endpoint URL won’t be helpful to anyone who isn’t an registered user of your site authorized to publish to weblogs.  Can you open Window/Console and copy and paste the XML error?

This is the error message:
  <methodResponse>

marvos if you’d like to email me (not PM) account information that has publishing rights on your weblog, I can try it from my installation of Ecto.  I’ve not seen that before, so the only advice I could give is to remove the Ecto account, create it anew, and make sure you select “Other” “Metaweblog API” when setting it up.

Ok, you are probably suffering from a PHP bug. Can you try this workaround and see if that allows you to use the API?

I saw that post some time earlier but it did not solve it.
Maybe it’s a connection which is not allowed at Media Temple like described over here:
http://expressionengine.com/wiki/MetaWeblog_API_Client_Setup/

It appears to be communicating fine, it’s just not receiving your XML data.  If you can email me FTP access to your site, I can try to do some additional debugging, but it’s almost certainly related.

Both HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA and php://input are empty.  Looks like you will need to put a ticket in with your host.  You might try setting your (mt) account to use PHP 4, as this is undoubtedly related to the PHP 5.2.2 bug.

Ok i’ve made a ticket of it i’ll let you now when it works (hopefully)...

Hi Derek,

The switvh to php4 did the trick. Tnx for helping me out. I’m still waiting for Media Temple to come up with an answer why it doe not work with php5.. or maybe that’s not something which they can do anything about…we’ll see.

tnx!

Well, it’s fixed in PHP’s cvs, so if they are insisting on running PHP5 at the current release, they can fix their installation.  Unusual that the workaround did not, well, work around it, though.  Good luck!
