Title: register_http_request_failed: SSL connection timeout Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # register_http_request_failed: SSL connection timeout * Resolved [azn137](https://wordpress.org/support/users/azn137/) * (@azn137) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register_http_request_failed-ssl-connection-timeout-1/) * I don’t know when this started happening, but I can no longer activate Jetpack. When I do this is the error I get: * `Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed. This usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host. SSL connection timeout` * Please tell me what I should do to resolve this. * Thanks. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 26 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register_http_request_failed-ssl-connection-timeout-1/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register_http_request_failed-ssl-connection-timeout-1/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Jeremy Herve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeherve/) * (@jeherve) * Jetpack Mechanic 🚀 * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register_http_request_failed-ssl-connection-timeout-1/#post-3383764) * Could you post your site URL here, so I can have a look? * Thread Starter [azn137](https://wordpress.org/support/users/azn137/) * (@azn137) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register_http_request_failed-ssl-connection-timeout-1/#post-3383771) * Sure thing.

We found out late on Friday, before a three day weekend (OF COURSE) so catching all the right people has been fun! * [Patrizia1441](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrizia1441/) * (@patrizia1441) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register_http_request_failed-ssl-connection-timeout-1/#post-3383947) * Having some issues as well, as I have not been able to use Jetpack for a few days now. I tried to uninstall and reinstall and I got the following error message: “ Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed. This usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host.” I hope the issue gets solved because I loved using Jetpack. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [azn137](https://wordpress.org/support/users/azn137/) * (@azn137) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register_http_request_failed-ssl-connection-timeout-1/#post-3383949) * I was able to get Jetpack to connect earlier today, but it’s going quite slowly. I guess it’s better than nothing. * [Mika Epstein](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu-dh/) * (@ipstenu-dh) * DreamHost Rep * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register_http_request_failed-ssl-connection-timeout-1/#post-3383950) * azn137, can you test again? * I ran a (very basic) connectivity test by running this via command line: `lynx https://jetpack.wordpress.com/jetpack` and it worked! * Patrizia1441, what’;s your domain?
