Hi Joomler, you did a great job with your xmlrpc plugin, and it worked incredibly until yesterday: WLW started saying that

Answer to method metaWeblog.getRecentPosts wasn't valid.

Invalid response document returned from XmlRpc server

I've tried with all the moethods described here, with no luck (maybe they could be useful for someone...)
http://www.seo-scientist.com/wordpress-and-windows-live-writer-xmlrpc-server-problem-solutions.html

the first one gives me an error related with
blogger.getusersblog

My configuration is based on php4.4.4, I put the correct path for images and set WLW to use FTP, I also separated image formats with commas...I don't know what to do, and don't understand why it did work before and yesterday suddenly broke...(and I didn't change anything in the Joomla or xmlrpc configuration)
I also tried to uninstall bot and erase xmlrpc directory and reinstall everything...
Have you got an idea of what could it be?

Hi,

Thank you for use.

Joomla!1.5?

Please check the following.
1.global configuration: webservice to enable
2.Blogger Plugin to disable
3.Please look at the Blog Setting of Windows Live Writer image.
4. Open up the following log files, and please send the part of the problem to me.
C:\\Documents and Settings\\yourname\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Windows Live Writer\\Windows Live Writer.log

Thanks!

my joomla is 1.0.15,sorry for not saying it before
as soon as I get back to my pc I'll send you the log
anyways, itisn't strange that it has been working for days and then, without touching configs and settings, it stopped?

As said before, this log attached belongs to a 1.0.15 installation, on apache1.3.37 with php4.4.4 and mysql 4.1.22.
I set WLW with movable type API, do you want me to post the tries with other settings?
Thanks for your attention!

I don't think I managed to attach, so here it is...
