Could not open socket

I get an error after clicking submit on the registration page:

Could not open socket

Haven't really changed anything. what could be the reason ? and solution ? :S

Solution

  • This happens when the reCAPTCHA plugin fails to connect to the reCAPTCHA server. Your server may not support opening a connection to remote hosts.

    Either find out why the connection is failing or use a different CAPTCHA module (spambot countermeasures in the admin control panel).
