We are currently tweaking our servers. It's possible that it's not working properly at the moment. We will check that.

To facilitate testing, can you tell me which version of PHP you are using (you can find it in the System info page of b2evolution) and also who your webhost is?

Regarding wordpress import, did you try the DB importer or the XML importer? What version is your wordpress?

Thank you.

Thanks.

I'm using Wordpress 3.5.2. I used the Database importer. I didn't see an xml one.

Before I saw your post about the tweaking, I decided to try a fresh install with the 5.0.3-beta-5 to see if I'd have better luck with that version. I'll have it installed in a few minutes. That might have been a mistake. I'll soon find out.

Thanks again.

You will find the XML importer in b2evo 5.0.3 ;)

It should work better than the DB importer.

Thanks. I'll check it out. I got the new install done and still the remote error. It must be the tweaking.

Update & FYI

Tested the xml importe for a possible future move. It worked smooth as silk. Had 2 minor problems. The paragraphs in the posts didn't space. Instead of this:

Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

I got Paragraph 1 Paragraph 2 run together. But, that's a small thing.

None of the Youtube videos showed up, just the urls. That's a small, fixable thing too.

The fact that the xml importer moved everything and even the comments was great.

If you want to privately share your XML file with us, our devs can fix the importer on these 2 issues.

Thanks. I will keep that in mind. At this point I'm still trying to get the knack of configuring and using the blog; for example, getting the kind of url I want to work in the urls section.

Before asking for help here, I do searches on the net and on the forum, and I check the manual. I had trouble posting a test youtube video in both areas, expert, etc, but found in the manual instructions how it's done with this blog software.

My initial goal is to run a new blog using B2Evolution. if I can get things working as I want and all goes well, I'l be thinking about moving my main blog over.

I've used wordpress for years, but got interested in B2Evolution after seeing the Birthday Shoes blog and reading a comment the founder made about B2Evolutio on a blog softwre comparisons blog .

And, though it works exceptionally well, I'd kind of like to get off the beaten path of WP.

"Remote error: Received from server invalid compressed HTTP (104)" is coupled with "[Sat Jun 22 22:32:43 2013] [error] [client xyz.abc.mno.stu] XML-RPC: xmlrpcmsg::parseResponse: errors occurred when trying to decode the deflated data received from server"
logged in /var/log/apache2/error.log

In my particular experience errors above began *suddenly* in the cloud instance hosting a GNU/Linux Debian server.

On June 15th, 2013. I updated PHP:

$ php --version
PHP 5.4.4-14+deb7u2 (cli) (built: Jun 5 2013 07:56:44)
Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies

In an effort to 'cure' the issue I upgraded from b2evo 4.1.7 to b2evo v 5.0.3-beta-5 but the issue remains.

Best Professional Regards.

It looks more like this issue appeared because we upgraded *our* server to PHP 5.4, rather than because you upgrade your own server to 5.4.

I believe everyone is getting this error at the moment, no matter which version of PHP they use on their server.

I believe the error is on our side.

Hi

I'm getting this error as well

Entfernter Fehler: Received from server invalid compressed HTTP (104)

From my logs, I noticed that this error was there before upgrading from version 4.1.7-stable to 5.0.4. The log says:

XML-RPC: xmlrpcmsg::parseResponseHeaders: errors occurred when trying to decode the deflated data received from server, referer: http://stephan-grysczyk.de/webblogs/admin.php?blog=6

I uploaded the php-files twice to be sure to have all files on my server.

I activated debugging and I got following error...

Empfange Neuigkeiten von rpc.b2evo.net.
Entfernter Fehler: Received from server invalid compressed HTTP (104)

It must have something to do with this configuration:

$evonetsrv_host = 'rpc.b2evo.net';
$evonetsrv_port = 80;
$evonetsrv_uri = '/evonetsrv/xmlrpc.php';

Seems not a problem with my installation...

Can you please confirm which version of PHP you use on your server (for example 5.3 or 5.4).
You can see this in your b2evolution system status screen.
Thank you.

I am getting "Remote error: Received from server invalid compressed HTTP (104)"

Please help how to solve the issue, my PHP version is 5.3.25 and i am using b2evolution version 5.0.4

Hi fplanque,
the server runs a PHP version 5.4.14 and a MySQL-Version 5.1.61 with MySQL UTF-8 support... The error was already there when the system was running a PHP version 5.3...
Any other analysis required?

I upgraded Metztli repo at GitHub https://github.com/Metztli/b2evo-metztli to b2evolution 5.0.4 & installing on Red Hat's OpenShift PaaS cloud http://www.rhcloud.com (which runs PHP 5.3.3) caused similar errors as described previously and attached:

Sorry, my question was wrong: I should have asked: Could you please check if your XML-RPC calls work (with a desktop blogging client for example) and tell me which version of PHP you use.

Because I am in Amsterdam this week I cannot do as much testing as I would like before I get back home. Having feedback on the above would help me investigate this problem right now.

Hi fplanque,

when I use a desktop blogging software, I get an error
XMLRPC Fault, code:801 msg:User has no permission to use this API
I tried zoundry raven and windows live writer...

Update:
Ok, works now... I changed the status for my default blogging-account from superuser to admin...
I now can use windows live writer to publish my blog.

Thank you @grizzly2000 . This helps. I will work on this as soon as I het back to the office.

I get the same error
sending the data version of the server and php configuration...

We have tweaked a few things on the server. Can you confirm it works now?

Niltze, FPlanque!

The GNU/Linux Debian Apache instance referenced above halted logging

XML-RPC: xmlrpcmsg::parseResponseHeaders: errors occurred when trying to decode the deflated data received from server

sometime after 11:40:44 am America/Los Angeles TZ.

Additionally, the web Dashboard displays b2evolution status/update information (as it should) in both b2evolution deployments (referenced above) instead of the previously reported errors.

Thus, apparently the issue has been resolved. Much appreciated, FPlanque.

Best Professional Regards.

Tuitto Ok. :) (Vedi Immagine)

When a patch for version 5.0

@walterix a patch is not possible when a database upgrade is involved.

Refer to "standard upgrade procedure" on this page:
http://b2evolution.net/downloads/index.html

No 104 anymore for me either. Thanks for fixing that. By the way, though I've used Wordpress for years, the more I tinker with B2 the more I like it. It kind of grows on you.

Hi fplanque,

no 104 for me either... Thanks for fixing this issue...

Best regards
