Error Details: The Jetpack server was unable to communicate with your site [HTTP 403]. Ask your web host if they allow connections from WordPress.com. If you need further assistance, contact Jetpack Support: http://jetpack.me/support/

In order to activate Jetpack you need xmlrpc.php file. First add the following rule to the .htaccess file:
