API key will not register

  • I am trying to enter inmy APIkey soI can install Akismet and stats.

    The server reports

    The key you entered could not be verified because a connection to akismet.com could not be established. Please check your server configuration

    and also this message

    Error from last API Key attempt:
    Your blog was unable to connect to WordPress.com. Please ask your host for help. (transport error – could not open socket: )

    But there is no informtation as to what I must check on my server configuration.

  • After a lot of stuffing around and NO-SUPPORT from WP or any help in the WP documentation or BB’s I finally worked it out.

    All I had to do was add a PHP.ini file to the wp-admin directory and review the “disable_functions=” options. Simplereally.Why did no one catch on to this. A local PHP.ini file overrides the default which on my server is disabled.

    All is now working. Thanks but no thanks…

    Hello, I checked both the global php.ini and the one in my home directory (and put a copy of it in wp-admin too) and there isn’t a disable_functions entry.

    I did uncomment a “extensions=sockets.so” line, but that didn’t work either.

    …anything else to try? Thanks.

    Dan
