Serendipity Forums

Sorry, guys, I feel stupid. I wanted to use Windows Live Writer to post in my Serendipity blog and did the following:

1. installed WLW
2. installed XMLRPC plugin (it answers if called via browser **)
3. at start picked "Another weblog service"
4. entered "http://SITEURL/blog" to my Serendipity blog in "Weblog Homepage URL"
5. entered correct Username/Password
6. chose "Movable Type API"
7. entered "http://SITEURL/blog/serendipity_xmlrpc.php"

And then, when I hit the "Next" button it keeps saying "The weblog account could not be accessed using the specified username and password". I entered the username/password that I use in the Serendipity admin interface. Its also my administrator account (only one I actually have).

Does anybody have an idea what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance!

**) When I call serendipity_xmlrpc.php manually I get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

Hi!

Does it work when you choose Blogger API, if available? Can you temporarily try a client like Ecto to see if it's generally trouble with XLMRPC, or only a setup thing in WLW?

Oh wow, I really did not see it yesterday. I still had the directory protected which I forgot as I was working on the blog via the browser all the time. Sorry for that, now it works all fine.
