Hello all. I recently had a site installed but had to move it to a new server. after we pointed the name servers and transferred the database, the login credentials stopped working for Windows Live writer. every time we try logging in, I get this exact error:
Cant connect to your blog service:
Network connection Error - Error attempting to connect to blog at:
http;//skinnyrunner.com/xmlrpc.php
the server committed a protocol violation.
Section=ResponseHeader Detail=CR must be followed by LF
Please try fixing the problem and then try again.
I have no clue what to do. tried reinstalling wordpress and nothing seems to work.
help.
Did you make sure that you turned on XMPRPC?

yes, that's easy. I've been using wordpress for over 3 years. never seen anything like this before. someone on another forum said it might be an htaccess issue...
someone actually wrote this on another forum
That's a possible htaccess (ish?) command, I remembered just enough about it to find something basic that may help lead you to a solution. My assumption is that when you moved servers, something, somewhere, didn't get the memo, so to speak. It's especially common, reaching back a long ways to a hazy memory, when you go from Unix to IIS/Windows or vice-versa. If any of that sounds like it might fit, I'd contact the host and see if they can assist, the Windows side is pretty well documented iirc, because I got it fixed 4-5 years ago (guessing at time) and if I did then it must have been easy.
Did you move from IIS/Windows to Unix or vice versa?

thanks so much for your reply
just got off the phone with support - said there is no differences in the move from server to server (both apache).
We did some searching and found this:

Yeah but apache can run on Windows and Unix ;) So ... the question remains: Did you move from Unix to Unix, Unix to Windows, or Windows to Unix?
And since you mentioned .htaccess, what IS your .htaccess contents? :)

Unix freebsd 7.2 moved to Ubuntu Linux (all greek to me)
should I paste the htaccess code here or email you?
thanks!
Paste, or if it's very large (more than 10 lines), use http://pastebin.com/index

I'd start with turning off plugins and reducing the .htaccess to JUST the WordPress calls at the bottom, see if it works.
