maybe is your xmlrpc.php
in a folder
like
www-your address-com/blabla/xmlrpc.php

Nope, it's directly under e-markus.com. If you post it in your browser, you'll see that it's there because it returns "XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only."

OK, I tried to figure out what exactly you wanted me to do. My original .htaccess folder looked like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
I changed it to this and tried it:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
# END WordPress
It didn't work, so I tried this:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
register_globals Off
# END WordPress
That didn't work either. Am I putting the added lines in the wrong place? I changed the .htaccess file back to the original configuration in the meantime.

Oh yeah, and I got an internal server error from my blog on that second configuration.

The line to turn off register globals should actually read:
php_flag register_globals off :)

When I use this in my .htaccess, I just get an internal server error on my blog:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress

I had the same problem but had it resolved on my wordpress, by sheer luck -
My wordpress is installed on my server (http://cathyma.com)
I first went to my server and confirmed that the file xmlrpc.php does exist under my domain, and double-checked with the property of the file which has the address /cathyma.com/xmlrpc.php
I then went to Flickr import blog and put /cathyma.com/xmlrpc.php, didn't work at first. Tried again with cathyma.com/xmlrpc.php (*note i.e. without "http://") and it works.
See if it works for you guys?

Greet D- you have one that was added a few minutes ago. Is that not the one you were trying to add? We show some timed-out messages for that blog in the last 10 minutes when trying to connect.
Edit to add-
If anyone has access to their own setup logs on the server, you may be able to find additional information. I've looked through some more logs and I see several other blog setup attempts generate timeout errors. I'm able to setup a WP blog fine, so do let us know if you can get any information from the server log on your end when trying to set it up.

Hello Brandon, I took a look at the server logs and it appears that your host was not reachable when we made the call to it. (the exact error message was "Network is unreachable (7)" ) It might just be a temporary hiccup but if you continue to have trouble you will probably want to contact your host.

I'm also having this problem. I'm running WordPress 2.3.2 and when I try to hit up my xmlrpc.php file through my web browser the error says "The precondition on the request for the URL /xmlrpc.php evaluated to false."

I tried cathyma suggestion by leaving out the www. part and just typed in my domain name mydomain.com/blog/xmlrpc.php .
remember that your wordpress blog may be in a subdomain folder.
btw thanks cathy =)

Great advice cathyma (CMa)! The blog I write for is set up as part of a sub-domain so removing the "www" worked perfectly (artofmybeat.com/xmlrpc.php). Thanks again!

I'm also having the exact same problem - as with The Sparkus I can get to the file myself (and get the XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only. message) by going to:
www.tompagenet.co.uk/xmlrpc.php
But no amount of entering that as my endpoint will save me from the The endpoint you entered was not correct. message. I've also tried without the initial h ttp, (i.e. starting with www) with no luck.
I'm using the latest version of WordPress (2.3.3). Any ideas?

OK, the problem fixed itself for me, but not the way I would have hoped. It seems that it was a problem with my theme. I recently switched my theme back to the WP default theme because I was having separate issues, and now my blog is able to communicate with Flickr. :(
Hopefully it works with whatever new theme I pick cause the WP default theme is lame.

Use the Web-Sniffer to see if your xmlrpc.php file is returning a 404 error. If it is, check out this blog post. It worked for me. If you can edit your .htaccess file, it might work for you, too.

Different hosting providers will have their systems set up differently therefore what works for one person may not work the next person...
I used the full URL (http://www.mydomain.com/xmlrpc.php)
To get it to work I had to add the following to the .htaccess file located at my domain root (http://www.mydomain.com/.htaccess) :
<Files xmlrpc.php>
SecFilterInheritance Off
<\Files>
Note the closing left slash on the Files tag.
It worked instantly!
Good luck!

I just wanted to add that if you are using a self-hosted wordpress blog more than likely you can use the MetaWeblogAPI or BloggerAPI options as well... they worked just fine for me when the regular atom enabled blog option did not... hope this helps!

Yahoo Flickr and Wordpress blogging.
William Dayton May 3rd, 2008 Edit
I had been trying to get yahoo Flickr and wordpress to work together for a long time on my older version of Wordpress version 2.1. I finally upgraded to Wordpress version 2.5 and viola! It works perfectly. So for all of you out there who have been struggling with getting yahoo’s flickr to work with Wordpress - upgrade your WPress installation to the latest 2.5 or higher version and it will work like it’s supposed to! Below is the test post confirmation!
All of my files are in default locations, I've not moved anything around. P.S. I also self-host my own. Thanks!

Wow. This can be frustrating.
I was trying to add a second blog using the same procedure as the one that worked for me before (see above) and it was not working!
I'm using wp 25. and the wp user I'm using is an admin.
As it was a new wp user, I made sure to log into wp at least once to complete any lingering new account squeekiness and it still did not work.
I tried using the regular wp blog admin user and it worked immediately. So I repeated the flickr blog setup process using my new wp admin for the Nth time -and it worked.
I do not know why.
I then figured out (by demoting the user and sending test flickr posts) that the wp user level must be "Author" or higher.

BTW, on the Flickr side of things, the user name is case sensitive!
If on wp you used: mydbuserFlickr
you must use the same here. Seems obvious but I kept fighting with mydbuserflickr....

I have tried everything mentioned here...trying different versions of my URL, updating the hta access, adding a new user at Wordpress, etc.. NOTHING has worked. When I try to add a blog to Flickr it accepts the API - www.bittersweetblog.com/xmlrpc.php, but it will not accept my username and password.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!

If you changed your user name "admin" to something else after setting up your blog, try providing that initial user name wordpress assigned you.
They probably sent it in an email to you --- User Name: admin
Password: combo of letters/#s
That's how I was finally able to set things up.

Cross-posting on this topic here:
OK. Call me stupid. Not sure how, but I decided to go back to basics and upload a fresh version of my xmlrpc.php file to my server. That did the trick for some reason. The version I had live on my site had this at line 16:
>> $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = mysql_escape_string(trim($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA));
However, the clean new version (also WP 2.3 I'm using) had the following:
>> $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = trim($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);
Quite worrisome, really. No idea how that could have changed. There's a thread on a similar issue for users of Ecto that I found on this as well. wordpress.org/support/topic/168814
You can download the legacy versions of WP here: wordpress.org/download/release-archive/

Hello,
I have tired every single solution in this thread and nothing works. Still getting "The endpoint you entered was not correct." when trying to add by blog.
I even tried old WP 2.3 version of xmlrpc.php which made no difference.
Raw access log:
68.142.214.50 - - [13/May/2008:00:28:25 -0400] "POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.1" 400 938 "-" "Flickr"
209.191.105.137 - - [13/May/2008:00:28:31 -0400] "POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.1" 301 319 "-" "Flickr"
209.191.105.137 - - [13/May/2008:00:28:34 -0400] "GET /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.1" 400 938 "-" "Flickr"
This sucks! :(
Thanks for the help,
Will

It is absurd, and a bit silly.
But I have gotten caught 2x now by this.
the xmlrpc.php looked to me on the login page like an "i". as in xmirpc
I changed it to what it is: xmLrpc
and wala!!!
Doesnt seem to respond to the more systemic problems described here. But I was getting the same symptoms and this was the solution.

My server was returning a 302 (page moved) error and redirecting to www.website.com, for whatever reason. I renamed the file to xmlrpc1.php and it didn't work, but when I renamed it nothing.php, it worked! Flickr appears to be happy anyway. This could work for others - give it a go. I renamed on the server and then uploaded another xmlrpc.php so that both files are there. I have a feeling pingbacks won't work though, so I will have to find out how to change 'xmlrpc.php' wherever wordpress references it internally.

Using WordPress 2.5.1 with my WP installed in a subdirectory, the fix that worked was to create a new .htaccess file in the WP subdirectory and include the data:
<Files xmlrpc.php>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</Files>

I tried with "http://" with no success.
On removing the "http://" it worked fine for me.
Very strange. It might be helpful for flickr to put a few suggestions on the "Add a Blog" page to save people some time!
This was with a wordpress blog.
