I've upgraded, using Louis' installer; everything appeared to install
smoothly - thanks!

I made my first new post - then went to review the event log to see how it fared.

The upstreaming (ftp) worked fine; but during the pinging by pingTool, I am seeing the following error in my event log:

2004-02-02 21:39:46   |   upstream   |   Background thread exception exceptions.IOError: unsupported XML-RPC protocolException instance __dict__: {'errno': None, 'args': ('unsupported XML-RPC protocol',), 'strerror': None, 'filename': None}

This error entry is sandwiched between what look like successful pings to blo.gs, weblogs.com, and technorati. I say "what look like successful pings" because the pinging is occurring, but I am not clear that the result is correct - in other words, each ping site is responding, but with responses that I am not expecting. For example, weblogs.com is telling me that it only accepts one ping per half hour and that I've already recently pinged. But I do not see my site listed in the recent changes. I don't know enough yet about technorati or blo.gs to verify if my ping has gotten thru or not.

What problem is the error above indicating? Is it affecting my pings?

Thanks in advance,
Rand
