   0), errno 0`

 * I've even installed the "Core Control" plugin, and everything under the "External
   HTTP Acces" tab is green, so everything should work.
 * I haven't installed jetpack before, so I can not say if it has worked before.
 * **Domain: raven.michaelravenstein.nl
    Host: hostbeats.com
 * Any help is welcome!!
 * Thanks in advance!

 * I also found these two openSSL installed Perl Modules:
    `Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA``
   Crypt::OpenSSL::Random`
 * I don’t know if anything has to do with it.

 * Could you contact your hosting provider, and ask them to activate the [openssl](http://php.net/manual/en/book.openssl.php)
   extension in your server configuration? It might explain why your site is unable
   to connect with WordPress.com.
 * If that doesn’t help, you might want to ask them to check whether the’ve installed
   one of the latest releases of curl and libcurl. You can read more about this 
   issue here:
    [http://sourceforge.net/p/curl/bugs/1249/](http://sourceforge.net/p/curl/bugs/1249/)
 * Let me know if it helps.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for your reply.
 * I asked my host and they told me that all extentions are already installed.
 * They came up with the idea to add this line in my wp-config file:
    `define( '
   JETPACK_CLIENT__HTTPS', 'NEVER' );`
 * Should I do that? Is that the right way?
 * Or is there another solution?
 * Many thanks,
    – Michael

 * That’s indeed a possible work-around if you can’t solve the issues with the OpenSSL
   extension on your server.
