Hi,

It's possible that you have activated reCAPTCHA ?

If you are using recaptcha and have issues try to contact with your hosting

Yes,

I have actived recaptcha.


Ok, I'll talk to my host.

Thank you!

This s not a problem with your hosting. I don't know if I may call it a problem either.

To fix that error open /oc-includes/recaptchalib.php and change the following line:

define("RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_SERVER", "www.google.com");

for the following line:

define("RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_SERVER", "74.125.227.48");

That's it

Hi,

I was able to solve my problem
Solution
1. Check your cpanel for port 80, if it is blocked for some reason then unblock it, mostly it is blocked because of some infected file on your server so delete it and unblock it.
2. Check after some time, everything should work.
