xml-rpc problems

Hi Guys,
I'm struggling to get scribefire to work, but I really think I'm having a problem with the plugin, not the client, if that makes any sense.

If you go to the following url, you get a http error, Precondition Failed
The precondition on the request for the URL /blog/serendipity_xmlrpc.php evaluated to false.
http://www.domain.com/blog/serendipity_xmlrpc.php

Maybe that's expected, but that's the same error I get from the client if i try to configure it as specified here:
http://www.s9y.org/209.html

I installed the latest xml-rpc client 1.40, I'm running Serendipity 1.2.1 and PHP 5.2.5. I don't see any additional specific configuration, but since it contains pear, I never can tell...
Thanks,
Aaron

Hi!

This error is caused by your webserver; suppossedly mod_security or suhosin interfers. Please ask your server admin how this can be circumvented.

Best regards,
Garvi

Right on!

You were correct, I needed to change some of the security settings in my htta access. Thanks again.
For those of you who find this and are having the same problem, contact your hosting service, they should have the specific additions that are required for you mod settings.
