Comments are no longer working on my website. I get a timeout error that says the following:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in ...\cms\code\sitefeatures\Akismet.php on line 357

Line 357 of akismet.php is in the middle of a loop:
while(!feof($fs))
{
$this->response .= fgets($fs, $this->responseLength);
}

Has something changed with the Akismet service itself? Or is there an issue with my server? My site is hosted on an IIS6 server. I have already double-checked my Akismet API key.

I'm not sure if this helps, but someone else found that Akismet's servers behave better under HTTP/1.0 instead of HTTP/1.1. See here. Maybe someone who is familiar with the Akismet code could experiment a little.

I get exactly the same message :(

Any solution?

I upgraded to the latest version of Silverstripe, and switched to Mollom. That's working nicely.

Hans

Great, thanks!

Now I have a little problem :(

I've installed Mollom and Spam Protection Modules. I've followed every step on the installation guide:
http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=modules:mollom

But when I go to the "Reports" section on the administration I can see "Mollom" but I don't get “Your mollom key is working.” message and I see nothing in the right panel.
Also, when I go to an entry page on the front-end the page is totally blank.

Do you know what I did wrong?

Nevermind.

I'm working in a local computer and I guess Mollom key isn't working. I suppose I won't have this problem when I upload my SS site to a server.
