[plugin Jetpack] Unable to connect to wordpress

Hi there

I have been searching for an answer to this however since the main problem with this issue is my own ignorance of what may be causing it my searches are fruitless.

I have a custom virtual server which we run Cpanel on with Softaculas and WordPress. However I cannot get the plugin Jetpack to connect to WordPress anymore. On our old host it connected fine however now it will not.

The error code is:

Outbound HTTPS not working

Your site could not connect to WordPress.com via HTTPS. This could be due to any number of reasons, including faulty SSL certificates, misconfigured or missing SSL libraries, or network issues.

Jetpack will re-test for HTTPS support once a day, but you can click here to try again immediately: Try again WordPress reports no SSL support

Since I know nothing about running a VPS I am sure it is something I have done wrong on the server side, could you all help me by telling me what to look for or configure?

I have tried disabling HTTPS for jetpack in the wp-config file and that does not fix the problem.
