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
