 * API Server Problem:
 * I already have my API Key but the problem is that I still can’t install plug-
   ins that requires the said key. When I tried to install Akismet, and then entered
   my API Key in the box provided.. But then, this thing appeared:
    “Akismet is 
   almost ready. You must enter your WordPress.com API key for it to work.”
 * And also…
 * “There was a problem connecting to the Akismet server. Please check your server
   configuration.”
 * Here is the screen shot.

 * Error from last API Key attempt:
 * The owner of that API Key (penseelibre1) is not on the access list for this blog(
   4376771). To be added to the access list, you must contact support.
    really impossible:
   i have had in an another live 2 blogs in .com, then another now hosted. so i 
   have 2 API, and i do not know when i have to use one or another : please 1 API
   new if you want and only 1 identity enough : the 2 identities nordcreuse penseelibre1

 * I am also getting the same error message after upgrading to WordPress 2.6.2 Akismet
   worked fine under 2.6.1 (and I de-activated Akismet before upgrading).
    I do 
   not understand how to check my server configuration. Could you be more specific,
   Moshu?
