Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed. This usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host. couldn't connect to host
I am running a WordPress-powered site through the SourceForge.net Project Web. I uploaded WordPress through SFTP, then JetPack to wp-content/plugins. Then I had two problems:
- None of the wordpress files are writable. (The dirs are
755, files 644
- When I try to connect JetPack, I get the error message shown above.
Any tips of either of these problems?
The first thing to check would be your xmlrpc file. What do you get when you go to http://example.com/xmlrpc.php (replacing example.com with your URL)?

It says XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.
Is the site publicly accessible? Can you share the site URL?

Yes. http://acmd.sf.net. The WordPress files reside at http://acmd.sf.net/wordpress. I might take it down if I cannot fix this problem.
Did you follow these directions (http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory) to put wordpress in /wordpress?

Yes I did. I have set up quite a few WordPress sites before, but this is the first time to use SourceForge's Project Web.
It is possible that SourceForge is blocking something. Could you try contacting them and asking them if they block XMLRPC or are firewalling any particular ports?

You can re install it. It may works. If it failed the you should remove all your non important plugin or you can restore your WP after taken a Backup.
