Hi, I'm trying to set up Flock (0.71) to work with Drupal 4.7. But I cannot get it work, Flock keeps asking me a username, a password and the API of my blog (I'm using movabletype), and in the log of my Drupal's site I see the following error each time I try to connect:

Page not found 22/06/2006 - 10:25 403.shtml no not found. admin

In the error's detail:

Type page not found
Date Thursday, june 22, 2006 - 10:25
User admin
Location http://mysite/xmlrpc.php

I do have the xmlrpc.php file on my site's root. Anyone can help me, please?

I'm having the same problem with any other blogging software (performancing for firefox, for example)

I add a line in .htaccess to get this work. My .htaccess is something like this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on

  #This line is to pass xmlrpc to the file directly.
  RewriteRule xmlrpc.php xmlrpc.php [L]

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

I've talked with my host provider. They have activated mod_security to block any php file with "xmlrpc" string in it.
Now it's fixed ^_^
Thanks for your help! Now I can only post from the admin user :-/
.. I'll check the forum if there are other users with the same problem.

I'm having this problem, too... my host is midphase.com.

My host says to consult the apache website to learn how to do mod_rewrite rules to exempt xmlrpc in .htaccess, which to me seems insane... learn apache for one line of code?

I outlined my problem more fully here:
http://drupal.org/node/150815

tried everything short of learning apache... can anybody help?

I just downloaded and tested it on my site with no issues. I pointed it to the root directory of the site I have Drupal installed in. The blogapi module is on. I used the Movable Type option on my site.

No problems. I realize that's not much help but at least you know someone does have it working.

I would suggest you ask in their community forums as well.

I know this is an old thread, but... Just to verify, once you enable the "Blog API" module in Drupal 6, make sure you enable the permissions for the role that a user is in before trying to connect. I didn't have to modify .htaccess to get http://example.com/xmlrpc.php to work on my site in Adobe Contribute (select "Blog", not "Website" when configuring).

I just wanted to see how well Adobe Contribute works with Drupal 6. I've heard mixed results.
