On my blog, I’ve recently posted an article on how to solve many of these problems by first identifying them precisely using either the log file of WLW and/or an HTML traffic capturing tool such as Fiddler. Beside the log file and Fiddler, this article also covers in detail some of the most common problems such a the presence of an UTF-8 BOM at the beginning of one of the PHP script files or the presence of extraneous characters at either the beginning (before the opening tag ) of one of those PHP script files.

You can find this article there:

In the second part (soon to be published), I will cover the problem of the presence of Warning and of Fatal PHP error messages in the XML-RPC response file. Fatal errors are usually the result of some kind of error in the PHP code but you can get a Warning error message simply by having a badly set php.ini file; so it’s often simply a local configuration problem of PHP.

THANK YOU!
