The Jetpack server was unable to communicate with your site [HTTP 500]

    When trying to connect Jetpack I am getting the following error:

    The Jetpack server was unable to communicate with your site [HTTP 500]

    I haven’t found anything clearly pointing to *what* might be the issue. Reading the logs I see:

    192.0.116.116 – – [20/Sep/2016:10:43:31 -0700] “POST /xmlrpc.php?for=jetpack HTTP/1.1” 500 215 “https://openpsychology.net/xmlrpc.php?for=jetpack” “Jetpack by WordPress.com”

    in the access.log when trying to connect Jetpack, and:

    [Tue Sep 20 10:43:31.776209 2016] [:error] [pid 24770] [client 192.0.116.116:33462] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function xml_parser_create() in /var/www/openpsychology/wp-includes/class-IXR.php:264\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/openpsychology/wp-includes/class-IXR.php(464): IXR_Message->parse()\n#1 /var/www/openpsychology/wp-includes/class-IXR.php(432): IXR_Server->serve(‘<?xml version=”…’)\n#2 /var/www/openpsychology/wp-includes/class-IXR.php(440): IXR_Server->__construct(Array, false, false)\n#3 /var/www/openpsychology/wp-includes/class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php(197): IXR_Server->IXR_Server(Array)\n#4 /var/www/openpsychology/xmlrpc.php(84): wp_xmlrpc_server->serve_request()\n#5 {main}\n thrown in /var/www/openpsychology/wp-includes/class-IXR.php on line 264, referer: https://openpsychology.net/xmlrpc.php?for=jetpack

    in the error.log.

    Any ideas?

    Can you contact your hosting provider and explain to them that we are unable to access your blog via cURL, which is needed in order to use Jetpack on your site?

    You can let them know we tested the following:

    1. Check for access to xmlrpc.php via browser:
    https://openpsychology.net/xmlrpc.php

    That test returned “XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.” which is a valid result.

    2. Check for access via cURL by running the following command from the command prompt:
    curl -i -H 'Content-Type: text/xml' --data '<?xml version="1.0&"?><methodCall><methodName>demo.sayHello</methodName><params></params></methodCall>' 'https://openpsychology.net/xmlrpc.php'

    The cURL test returned the following invalid result:

    HTTP/1.0 500 Internal Server Error
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2016 22:15:33 GMT

    Please provide the information above to your hosting provider so that they can correct the server settings to allow cURL access.

    Let me know how that works for you, and we can go from there!

    I think I got it working now. I seem to be having an odd week in terms of breaking (but managing to fix them) things over and over (different things, so far not broken the same thing…) Thank you.

    For future people coming to this page, my error was because the php7.0-xml package was not installed on my server.

    Can anyone help with this please ?

    @wellmanweb Your issue is quite different from the one reported above.

    Can you please use Jetpack’s Debugger module to send us some more information about your site?

    1. Go to the Jetpack page in your dashboard.
    2. Click on the Debug link appearing at the bottom of the page.
    3. Click the link that says “click here to contact Jetpack support.”
    4. Fill in the description box and your name and email address.
    5. Click the “Contact Support” button to send us the debug results privately. It’s best not to post this information on public forums, as it contains private details about your site.

    Thanks!
