I got my blog set up nice and quick like using Dreamhost one-click installs – so far so good.

But then I went to try ecto to post and kept getting a cryptic error:

XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.

I went through checking username/password, checking .htaccess, etc. and was having no luck. I finally thought to check the Dreamhost wiki and found the answer: add this line to the top of your xmlrpc.php file at the base of your WordPress install:

$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents(“php://input”);

All better. It’s apparently got to do with PHP 5.2.2.
