Re-install these 20 free applications (categories) on my new Windows XP system

Two weeks ago, my system disk toasted (damn western digital, got two hard disk failed from you) and I had to re-install the Windows XP on another spare hard disk to bring my computer life back. Glad I had my data on a different hard disk and backed-up everything to the external disk every week.

During the re-installation process, I thought it would be better if I record every application I had to install first to be productive and enjoyable before I sit down to do anything else. And, inspirited by the post from lifehack.org The first 10 free Apps to install on a new Windows PC, I decided to write this post.

Get error 500 in xmlrpc.php file while using Windows Live Writer with WordPress MU 2.6.5

Upgraded the WLW to built 14.0 and tried to open the posts from my WordPress MU 2.6.5 today, but got error message saying “there was error 500 while processing the file xmlrpc.php”.

Double checked my WP settings and found that the xmlrpc had been turned on already. It seemed to me it was a web server parsing php code error.

After poking around the internet, and concluded that there is an issue with the xmlrpc.php code if the server default service is PHP4. That means if your web server parsing your WordPress php code in PHP4 mode, then you would get problems to view blog posts from Windows Live Writer, and in some case you can not upload images in WLW with xmlrpc method.

I hope there will be a fix soon. But right now, I will have to force my web server to call the WordPress codes in PHP5 mode.

To do so, just add the following two lines at the begining of your .htaccess file.

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

 

After that, you just upload the modified .htaccess file and everything should be fine again.

Good Luck!

Fix wp.getusersblogs error in Windows Live Writer after upgrading to WordPress MU 1.5.1

I have been using Microsoft Windows Live Writer to update my blogs for a while, but today I got some errors when I tried to publish a post to my newly upgraded WordPress MU 1.5.1 blog. After this error message, I got a prompt windows to ask my blog logon user name and password. I thought the upgrading changed the user information anyhow, so that I updated my logon password, and re-typed it in Live Writer. When I re-published, again saw the same error. I stopped, and then tried to view the web blog within the WLW. The same wp.getusersblogs error popped-up as I encountered during the publishing.

The following is the detailed error message:

log Server Error – Server Error -32601 Occurred server error. requested method wp.getUsersBlogs does not exist. You must correct this error before proceeding.
