I upgraded http://www.policycommons.org to v. 2.7 yesterday and then tried to install Akismet to stop all the spam I'm getting.
But I'm not able to enter the Wordpress API key. When I click on a "You must enter your WordPress.com API key for it to work." prompt I get an error page that only says "Cannot load akismet-key-config.".
I thought maybe this was because of where I'm hosting, but I installed Akismet on another blog on the same server (version 2.6 though) and it worked fine.
Did I mess up the installation? I'm running this installation out of a different directly from the blog address. Could that be related? Thanks for tips.

Did you find a solution? I'm having the same issue with 2.7.1 and Akismet.

I didn't learn anything and dropped it. I should really fix it though so if you figure it out, please let me know!

dwitzel -- did you also get the problem where the appearance editor and plugins editor isn't accessible through the Dashboard? I found a Web site that addresses this but they say it's permissions and I'm reluctant to change my permissions (CHMOD). My host tried that and it didn't work.
See the thread here: http://www.hacktrix.com/fixing-the-blank-page-problem-after-wordpress-27-upgrade#comment-1014
I found lots of posts related to this issue on the Wordpress forum but no one is posting any solutions! It's maddening.
I downloaded 2.7.1 again and installed it for a second site and I'm getting the same issues with Akismet and the appearance and plugin editors.
Ugh!

Hi guys,
I just downloaded the Akismet plugin and manually entered the API in the akismet.php file on line 17: $wpcom_api_key = 'PUT API HERE';
Couldn't find any other solution...
