blogdesk w.bloggar: web clients - but xml problems!

Using Dreamhost as my host, I’ve become quite reliant on these blogging clients for a number of reasons! But the last few days, you will have noticed that my blogging has become less frequent!

The latest in a series of technical glitches to blight my blog:  BlogDesk has stopped cooperating with my blog software! I’ve tried also w.Bloggar and get similar issues. So I’m thinking: what has Dreamhost changed that is causing problems with blogging clients?

Mmm. I think that warrants an email to them! I’ll post the reply!

      I have the same problem with Blogdesk and my wordpress blog at http://postcardexchange.net. It uses WP 2.1.2 but I don’t think that upgrage would solve this issue. It worked fine until 9th March 2008 so it seems they have changed something at dreamhost. I contacted support but they haven’t sent me a solution yet.

      Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I have been able to get it working again. Just delete the original account in BlogDesk, and make sure you are using the right WordPress option.

      If I remember correctly, the admins at DH had to make a couple of changes… I’ll go and dig out their memo to me.

      OK, here’s the reply from Robert at DH:

      Hi Kenneth,

      I can’t tell for certain without the error messages, but this problem
      may be caused by a php 5.2.2 bug (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41293).
      I’ve added the following workaround code to all of your WordPress’
      xmlrpc.php files that’s running under php 5:

      $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents(”php://input”);

      If this doesn’t work, please copy and paste the exact error messages to
      me and I’ll investigate further.

      Thanks!
      Robert

      You could always switch to a different version of PHP… I switched my blog to version 4.4.x a while ago that might fix the problem…
