Had a huge problem when i updated to the new WordPress 2.8.4 and I tried to upload my post using LiveWriter, it started giving me errors XMLRPC500 errors. I tried to upgrade my php, even tried to add lines to my xmlrpc.php file. But all to no avail it just would not work but then I came across this page ardentdev XMLRPC 500 Fix, and that fixed me right up all had to so was update my wordpress database

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\"

mysql.exe –u root -p
Enter password: ***********************

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.

Type ‘help;’ or ‘\h’ for help. Type ‘\c’ to clear the buffer.

mysql> use crowdspace
Database changed
mysql> ALTER TABLE wp_posts CHANGE post_parent post_parent BIGINT;

 

the fist part of open mysql.exe from the command line or you can just go start programs and click on the cmd icon there and it opens it up for you. then where says crowdspace please insert your blog database name.

 

and that is it
