Are you using Dreamhost? Am having the same problem, and it just started happening.
I posted to the MarsEdit forums. You might want to keep track there, too.
Yes, I am using dreamhost. And they just said that they would only help with the installation of wordpress, but not third party things like ecto. But clearly something has changed recently. I will go check that out!
This is almost certainly the same problem I had here with PHP 5.2.2. There’s a bug in that version with XML-RPC.
Workaround: add the following line at the beginning of WordPress’ xmlrpc.php file, right before the first reference to $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA:
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents("php://input");
(In theory it should be fixed in the next version of PHP.)
Thanks, so it should look like this:
<?php
define(‘XMLRPC_REQUEST’, true);
// Some browser-embedded clients send cookies. We don’t want them.
$_COOKIE = array();
# fix for mozBlog and other cases where ‘<?xml’ isn’t on the very first line
if ( isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA) )
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents(“php://input”);
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = trim($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);
include(‘./wp-config.php’);
Opps sorry, mrmrocco is now Bunzie. I had a username make over. 🙂
I did it like this:
<?php
define('XMLRPC_REQUEST', true);
// Some browser-embedded clients send cookies. We don't want them.
$_COOKIE = array();
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents("php://input");
# fix for mozBlog and other cases where '<?xml' isn't on the very first line
if ( isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA) )
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = trim($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);
include('./wp-config.php');
and things seem to work again! Thank you, Kelson.
Bunzie, be sure to put it in the correct place…he mentioned inserting the code before the first reference to $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA. 🙂
Wow, Thanks! That worked perfectly. I really appreciate you helping me out! You just saved my blogging world. :)Have a great day.
i think if you switch to php 4.** you solve the problem
Yes, or PHP 5.2.1. But PHP 5 should be the way to go, if possible.
But on Dreamhost i have PHP 5.2.1 , why ?
Hi,
sounds as if it would work. Because I am an total newbee regarding php and so on.
Would someone of you be so kind as to change (correct) my “xmlrpc.php file” – file?
Can’t wait to work with Marsedit again!!!!!
If someone would chnage it for me I would like to send the file by mail.
Greetings
