Which b2evo version are you using?

modified 1.8.6

edit: all modifications are cosmetic, no functionality changes:

I can confirm this. Also for CVS HEAD. Maybe blo.gs/Yahoo has changed something? Or it's "just broken"?
The "last updated" entries on http://blo.gs/ seem a bit old also..

You might want to contact Yahoo!

Looks like they united Yahoo blogs and blo.gs?

http://blo.gs/ping.php

I'm not much of a programmer, anybody have an idea if the method for automatic pinging they describe is what b2e is already doing?

b2evo uses method 3 and Yahoo! as aquired blo.gs a long time ago already..
See http://trainedmonkey.com/2005/6/14/blo_gs_has_been_acquired_by_yahoo_

hmm, I wonder what else could be causing the error then.

I'm also running 1.8.6 and am having this problem. In addition, the technorati.com ping is now having the same problem. I don't see a solution listed here, is there a fix yet?

None of the Ping Services work for me within B2evo.

The Best Solution I found was to use PingoMatic.

It works great. http://pingomatic.com.

The RPC URL for Bl.ogs has changed, it now shares the Yahoo URL. I fixed it by editing my _ping.funcs.php file.

Change

$client = new xmlrpc_client('/', 'ping.blo.gs', 80);

To

$client = new xmlrpc_client("/RPC2", "ping.feeds.yahoo.com", 80);

It was on line 169 in my file.

Thanks, I'll fix that in mine. In related news the technorati ping seems to be working again...
