I have activated the jetpack plugin. Then it asks to connect a wordpress.com account to start using it. As I click the “Connect Jetpack” button, the following error comes up.
Error Details: The Jetpack server was unable to communicate with your site [HTTP 500]. Ask your web host if they allow connections from WordPress.com. If you need further assistance, contact Jetpack Support: http://jetpack.com/support/
I have tried disabling all the other plugins. It still doesn’t work. I can access the xmlrpc.php file from the browser. You can visit my website here.

I have resolved the issue by installing php7.0-xml and php7.0-xmlrpc.
Having the same problems, but installing the two php extensions hasn’t solved them. Still getting a “SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token ‘<’” error :/
