[resolved] 4.0.8 and XML-RPC
Think I should have put this in a more visible forum, so pasting below:
My old friend, “Can’t post for x because the server reported an error: problem_creating_article” is back, post-upgrade to 4.0.8. Arrg.
When I try to bring up a post list in MarsEdit, the error log shows that there’s no payload in the response to “metaWeblog.getRecentPosts”, just empty XML. It seems to return results for metaWeblog.getCategories though.
Update:
I can’t create and publish new articles through XML-RPC either.

Re: [resolved] 4.0.8 and XML-RPC
Same happens for me. I tried both MarsEdit and Ecto.
Here are the logfiles of both clients with an unsuccessful post:
Ecto:

Bafflingly, this seems to only happen on my home install on an Intel iMac. My G5 at work with the same version of Marsedit doesn’t show the same behaviour on the same blog.

Re: [resolved] 4.0.8 and XML-RPC
OK, I figured it out.
My home machine was set to use a numeric ID for the blog section identifier, which seemed to work before. I guess my work machine was set up to use the section name as the ID, which is why it still worked. Duh.

Re: [resolved] 4.0.8 and XML-RPC
OK – how do you identify which ID number represents which section?

Re: [resolved] 4.0.8 and XML-RPC
Ah, that’s my point: you don’t need to use the numeric ID to specify your section any more. Just use the normal-text name for the section, like “weblog” or “archive” and it should work.

Re: [resolved] 4.0.8 and XML-RPC
Right – I’m doing that but it doesn’t work for me.

Re: [resolved] 4.0.8 and XML-RPC
Here’s a pic of the Marsedit settings that seem to work now. Did you upload the new /rpc/ directory when you updated to 4.0.8?

Re: [resolved] 4.0.8 and XML-RPC
Thanks – to be on the safe side I downloaded the installation package again, replaced the rpc folder. No success.
