Hi all,
I have a self hosted WordPress blog. I was attempting to blog to it via the Flock browser yet it would not work.
Following a closer look at the blog it seems it is not configured correctly.
I would be happy to receive advice on this. When one runs the file,
"xmlrpc.php?rsd", the message that is received is "Precondition Failed
The precondition on the request for the URL /xmlrpc.php evaluated to false."
Any ideas on how to correctly configure this?
Regards
John

John,
Try this solution, since it seems to echo similar situations. First, download the file .htaccess from your blog's root directory and copy it. (Odds are it will be blank, 0 bytes, but be sure.)
Next, in the copy, insert the following lines:
<Files xmlrpc.php>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</Files>
Finally, upload the new .htaccess back to the blog's root directory, then try your procedure again. That should clear it up.

that may or may not work, depending on the version of mod_security being used.
2.5, for instance requires that the httpd.conf be edited directly. I just went through this, but it's repeatable, and googlable.

Hi,
I have my own servers I host wordpress on. I am trying to have my online photo filer send a photo to my blog. If I configure the potofiler to try to logingo mysite.com/wordpress it tells me it can't log into account. If I use mysite.com/wordpress/wp-admin then it states "Your blog does not support RSD. Contact your blog service provider to learn about adding this feature to your blog." . The closest plugin I coulf find that said it had RSD was 7uploads, but I still have the same problem. Not sure how to turn on RSD in wordpress of If I am loing in correctly. It also stated I needed a API aware blogger.
