 * I’m getting the following error:
 * `Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed. This 
   usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host. Operation
   timed out after 15003 milliseconds with 0 bytes received`
 * Some details:
 * – Clean install with default theme
    – Host is Dreamhost – URL: [http://www.hacerparaser.com](http://www.hacerparaser.com)–
   Dreamhost server: Snowbird

 * Hi,
 * It looks like the issue may be that your host limits the PHP processes on your
   server. You should get in touch with them and ask them if their PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN
   is set to one and, if it is, ask them to set it to two or higher.

 * I’ll look into it.
 * The funny thing is that it works with some installations and not with some other
   ones.
