w.bloggar doesn't work after update 0.8.4

bbruecker · Post by **bbruecker** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 11:21 am

After Updating my blog from 0.8.2 to 0.8.4 w.Bloggar is not able to connect to my server.

This is the error message:

Unable to parse the xml response. Parser Reason:in einem XML-Dokument ist nur ein Element höchster Ebene zugelassen -- here is my translation: in a XML dokument are only elements at the highest level allowed.

It worked before and the website seems to work properly.

The following attempts didn't help:
- unistall and reinstall the XML-RPC plugin.
- cmod for the directory: 777.

Can you tell the URL of your blog (maybe per private message)?

Which version of the XML-RPC plugin are you using?

Best regards,
Garvin

Hi Garvin,

Here is the URL: http://s9y.benjminbruecker.de.

I've convused the version numbers. 0.8.1 is the version w.bloggar can connet. W.bloggar can connect if I upload the XML-RPC-file from the old package.

The version of the XML-RPC posting plugin is 1.5.

Best regards,
Benjamin

Hi Benjamin!

Calling your XMLRPC file via the browser (http://s9y.benjaminbruecker.de/serendipity_xmlrpc.php) yields:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare xml_rpc_se() (previously declared in /kunden/benjaminbruecker.de/webseiten/s9y/bundled-libs/XML/RPC.php:249) in /kunden/benjaminbruecker.de/webseiten/s9y/plugins/serendipity_event_xmlrpc/PEAR/XML/RPC.php on line 249

This shows that whatever way the RPC class has already been included.

This can be fixed by editing your serendipity_event_xmlrpc.php file in the plugins directory and changing this code:

Code: Select all

                case 'frontend_xmlrpc':
                    if (!class_exists('XML_RPC_se')) {
                        require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/PEAR/XML/RPC.php';
                    }
                    
                    if (!class_exists('XML_RPC_Server')) {
                        require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/PEAR/XML/RPC/Server.php';
                    }

                    require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/serendipity_xmlrpc.inc.php';
                    $eventData = array('XML-RPC' => true);

                    return true;

Note the added if (class_exists()) statements. I also committed them to CVS as version 1.6 of the plugin.

HTH,
Garvin

Hi Garvin,

Thanks you for answering so quickly.

I have now edited the file but w.bloggar doesn't work. The error message is the same as described above.

Maybe there is a mistake in my file. Here is the code of serendipity_event_xmlrpc.php:

/* vim: set sts=4 ts=4 expandtab : */

I also added a line with "beak;" but this doesn't effect the result anyway.

OK, today I installed the new version 1.6 of the XMLRPC plugin. But the W.Bloggar is still not able to connect to my blog. The error message is a little bit different from version 1.5:

Unable to parse the xml response. parer reason:ungültig auf der obersten Ebene im Dokument -- not valid at the higest level of the document.

Okay, the output of your PHP file now looks better.

Could you please edit the serendipity_xmlrpc.inc.php file of the plugin and set $debug_xmlrpc to "true" in the first few lines. This enables debugging of all XMLRPC traffic and saves it in a "rpc.log" logfile.

Could you please mail me that rpc.log file? Of course search the file for your password and replace all occurences with "XXX".

Regards,
Garvin

Hallo Garvin,

where should the log file be stored?

Regards, Benjamin

Post by **garvinhicking** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 9:47 pm

Usually in the root of your serendipity blog.

Garvin

Hi Garvin,

I can't find the variable in serendipity_config.inc.php.

Regard's,
Benjamin

Post by **garvinhicking** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 11:49 am

That's why I said the variable is in the serendipity_xmlrpc.inc.php file

)

Garvin

bbruecker · Post by **bbruecker** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 12:14 pm

Hi Garvin,

I found the right variable in the right file at least (sorry -- I was tired and confused).

After four tests, I can't find any "rpc.log" logfile at my serendipity folders.

(I set all permissions to 777 for all of my serendipity folders and files.)

Is there also a variable where I can spezify the output folder for the file?

Kindly excuse any inconveniences and thank you for your patience, Garvin!

Benjamin

No problem, it's me who has to say a big thank you that you're going through all this. I'm terribly sorry that XML-RPC is currently not working out for you and I'd love to fix this problem, so I'm a bit dependant on your feedback.

Did you look in the plugin directory as well? But yes, you can specify a full path. Just open the serendipity_xmlrpc.inc.php file (Again) and serarch for

Code: Select all

fopen('rpc.log', 'a');

It shoudl occur twice in the file. Just replace that with:

Code: Select all

fopen('/full/path/to/where/you/want/your/logfile/rpc.log', 'a');

You could also try

Code: Select all

fopen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/rpc.log', 'a');

to put the log into your document root...

Regards,
Garvin

Hi Garvin,

I'd like to help because after testing many blog systems serendipity is pretty the program which meets my requierements. I only miss two or three little things.

Ok, I changed the "serendipity_xmlrpc.inc.php" the variable twice times in two ways:

Code: Select all

$fp = fopen('/kunden/benjaminbruecker.de/webseiten/s9y/rpc.log', 'a');

or

Code: Select all

$fp = fopen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/rpc.log', 'a');

But after my tests there I found no rpc.log file created.
I also checked the root folder of my webspace account at domainfactory -- no rpc.log.
Permision 777 at any file or folder is enough?
Is there another way than using w.bloggar to push the log logging?

Regard's Benjamin

Post by **garvinhicking** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 3:07 pm

I just installed my XML-RPC posting plugin and w.bloggar, and I can connect fine to my Serendipity installation.

Thus I guess it must be a setting that's not right on your blogger account. How did you setup your account exactly?

I set:

Blog System: "Angepasst" ("Custom")
Name des Kontos: myhost
Host: myhost.com
Seite: /serendipity/serendipity_xmlrpc.php
Port: 80, HTTPS NOT checked
Einträge: Blogger API
Kategorien: Nicht unterstützt
Vorlagen: Blogger API
Tags: <title>, <category>, <more_text>

Maybe you can give me your mail adress, then I'll send you a test account to test your w.bloggar on my host, and maybe you can create me account so that I can test on your account.

Regards,
Garvin
