Well, after several days of frustration, I have fixed the validation issue on my VPS Ubuntu server by installing cURL.
Note: I am running Apache, but I have to imagine the steps below will apply to alternatives like Nginx…
To do this, I telneted into my VPS and installed cURL by running the following commands:
1. sudo apt-get install php5-curl
2. then restarted Apache by running: sudo service apache2 restart
3. Re-logged in to WP, applied the code and it worked!

October 1, 2016 at 1:43 pm #1198670Just to add my 2c. . . . This morning I set up a development server on a DigitalOcean “droplet.” The WP installation could not connect to validate. Investigated and found this post. A similar fix worked for me.
I’m running PHP7, so the library is php7.0-curl and after a restart that did the trick.

October 29, 2016 at 12:40 pm #1236030This worked for me. Thank you so very much.
I had to make a minor change, however, since my Ubuntu system does not have php5 installed.
This worked for me:
sudo apt-get install php-curl
Followed by:
sudo service apache2 reboot

Feel free to ask us again.
Thanks also for sharing the solution. It would help a lot.
