URL shortening does not work. I have tried all the services and tried both cURL and PHP.

Errors will appear on admin/reports/dblog that say "PHP failed to return an abbreviated URL .." or "cURL failed to return an abbreviated URL .."

Oops, this is for 2.1, not 3.0

Your system is the problem, not the module. You may be behind SSH or something like that, or on a local install, that's preventing Drupal from accessing the sites it needs to. You may also be using a version of PHP or cURL that is too old (or potentially, although extremely unlikely, too new) to be supported.

The solution I'm going to suggest is to upgrade to the 3.x branch. The most important difference between 2.x and 3.x is that I split off the URL shortening code into its own module which does a better job of handling all of that.

It's not any of those things you mentioned in the first paragraph there...

I guess I'll try the new one.

Thanks
