Joomla and Movable Type API


I am running XAMPP locally with Joomla 1.5.22 installed. I wanted to enable front end user to just use MS Windows Live Writer so I have installed XML-RPC - MovableType API did enable Web Services. In the MS Windows Live Writer for my joomla website I input localhost/joomla or 10.1.1.106/joomla with my back end admin credentials. After that I choose Movable Type API which asks for remote posting web address for my blog for which I try to input localhost/joomla/xmlrpc/index.php and I get an error: "Can't connect to your blog service: Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined. Please fix and try again."

Can any one suggest anything that could help me to resolve the problem? Thanks


Solution

  • Since no one tried to solve this I had to come up with a solution which did work at the end but now I'm having other problems (I'll get back to that in few). I have my Blog Service as Movable Type API, the web address http://localhost/joomla with localhost/joomla/xmlrpc/index.php for my Remote Posting web address for my blog. It's working now. Yay
