Hi there,
I'm trying to get xmlrpc working so that I can blog from flickr.
I have tried the newest version 1.5.1.3 as well as the beta version in the cvs with no change.
When I browse to xmlrpc.php I get a 406 Not Acceptable error:
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /xmlrpc.php could not be found on this server.
Is there a library or version of php that the server requires that could cause this?
Thanks,
Sean

You shouldn't have to do anything to get xmlrpc.php to work. It sits and waits for incoming requests. You might be getting the 406 error because browsing to that file isn't how it's meant to be invoked.
I recently completed integration to wordpress from FotoFlix and it worked great. I haven't tried posting from Flickr but I was able to post from FotoFlix without any problems.
Are you entering your endpoint (http://www.yoursite.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php)?
If you continue to have problems I can try to post a photo from FotoFlix and see if there's something weird with the xmlrpc.php file you have.

It was my understanding that xmlrpc.php should give the message that it only accepts POST requests when browsed to.
the endpoint I'm entering is
http://sean.boysofsummer.ca/xmlrpc.php
which is where the file is located on my server

That is what I get...
XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.
Ditto.
Double-ditto (or would that be triple-ditto?)
And another! I asked over at the Flickr forums and they say it's a bug with WP.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I think your URL is wrong. I use XMLRPC regularly.

Wow, that is the strangest thing. I spent the last three days trying to get it to say that, and now all of a sudden it works. I'm going to email my host and see if they were changing configurations.
No, still no good for me - I've got the URL right - even copied it from my server. Just not happening.
WOW
It worked! I think the problem was that I put www. between the http:// and my blog address
Soon as I took that out it worked.
Rolls eyes!

I am trying very hard not to say - told ya so ;)

Right, I have tried all the file permissions and with and without the www. but I am still getting 'The endpoint you entered was not correct'... I downloaded wordpress today, from the download link above, so I can't think it needs upgrading... is there an easy answer I have missed?

Hey - I just recently had a lot of problems with my xmlrpc.php file somehow not jiving with the server - it may have something to do with mod_security, not sure. Anyway, try renaming your xmlrpc.php file into something else, making sure you change it also in any files that include it or refer to it; I know it sounds stupid and simple, but this fixed a problem I had been trying to resolve for weeks.

Nope, tried it!

Bizarre.... it just decided to work. It was a different installation though. So if anyone else has this problem I suggest you reinstall and try again a few times. It seems to be a bit random... I have heard others claim this as well.

I am having problems as well. Extremely irritating as posting from Flickr to my blog worked on 9 September and didn't work this morning. I upgraded to 1.5.2 and it still won't work.

Has anyone yet really solved this problem, I've tried all the fixes above without success. Now I'm trying to get the blog integration working in the beta version of Flock browser which also calls on xmlrpc.php and am getting similar problems. Whcih leads me to think it's a definite WordPress problem, but alas so far one with out a solution.

I found the problem with mine was that my webhost was limiting access because of bandwidth drain due to spam/porn access to subdomain stats. I have since installed Bad Behaviour hoping this limits the problem and my host can turn access back on.

Likewise I found my host was blocking xmlrpc access due to the fact that the majority of users on the system have not updated to the latest versions of their php scripts and thus leaving the whole server open to hacking. You can read my big long rant about it here:

I also encounter similar problem while trying to use flock or flickr blogging.
For example, while configure flickr blogging, I input http://www.wolfgang.tw/xmlrpc.php as the API Endpoint, but the page shown "The endpoint you entered was not correct." I'm very sure the path are correct, and I use the WP 2.0.3. Could anyone help me to resolve this. Thanks in advanced.

Try the suggestion someone gave me there; just a few lines inserted into the htaccess file fixed everything for me.
