As it turns out, I’m getting this error:

> New registrations are not allowed from your IP address (maximum limit reached). Contact a staff member.

… which is discussed in [this thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/registration-limit-from-ip-address/33969).

I changed the make some adjustments to the API rate limit and set the “max new accounts per registration ip” setting to zero and it’s now working fine.
