    (@deankramer99)


    Hi, after updating my WordPress (3.5.1) and Jetpack (2.1.1) to the most current I now get this error when I try to connect to wordpress.com:

    Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed. This usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host. Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)

    Any ideas?

    Can you please try installing the Jetpack Compatibility Plugin so we can see some additional information from your site?

    1) Download the plugin from http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/jetpack/branches/jetpack-compatibility-test.zip
    2) Upload the plugin to your site via Dashboard -> Plugins -> Add New.
    3) Activate the plugin and go to Plugins -> Jetpack Compatibility Test.
    4) Click the “Select All” button.
    5) Send us the results of the test via this form:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

    Thanks!

    Thanks.

    It seems that your server cannot make verified outgoing HTTPS requests to https://jetpack.wordpress.com/

    It could be caused by some configuration issues with your server’s SSL certificate. Could you contact your hosting provider, and ask them to have a look?

    Thread Starter deankramer99

    (@deankramer99)

    I do my own hosting. It just seems strange as it was working before the update, unless this issue is a fairly new feature that wasn’t in the version I had?

    I do though only have self-signed certificates (if you https my blog), could that be an issue? Its strange as I can https my blog and the correct certificate information comes up in the browser.

    I just rebooted my server and tried again and got this:
    Error Details: The Jetpack server was unable to communicate with your site [IXR -32300: transport error: http_request_failed SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate]

    Should I assume that self-signed certificates are now a problem, as it was working, and I have always used self-signed certificates.

    Thread Starter deankramer99

    (@deankramer99)

    Right, it appears that to be able to setup jetpack I have to do it in HTTP not HTTPS, but once setup, I can use my blog in HTTPS and the plugin appears to work.

    How will this affect the plugin? Will the connection only be HTTP though the blog will be in HTTPS?

    Thanks for the extra details. I don’t know your site URL, so I couldn’t check how HTTPS was set up on your site.

    Jetpack is currently not setup to work with sites that are only accessible over HTTPS using a self-signed certificate.

    We have plans to make that work better in the future, but I am not sure how long it will be before the Jetpack team can get to an update like that.

    I’m sorry for the inconvenience.
