Description

Per today I have this message on the page, and the block does not show the license text/image. Is it CC itself that has an issue, or do I have to troubleshoot on my side? And what can it be?

I noticed this error too, and it seems to have started since I upgraded Drupal core to version 6.14.

I don't know if it's related to the 6.14 core update; I haven't looked any further into it than that.

I have the same issue on the 6.x 1.0 beta 2. I hadn't tried using the module before. I'm using 6.13.

I am still on 6.13. And via Google you will find more websites with that message. All Drupal sites.

This appears to a bug with the Creative Commons REST API. The CC module requests this URL,

http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/1.5/simple/chooser?jurisdiction=us

which is returning response code 500, internal server error. Their API docs say this is a correct request:

http://api.creativecommons.org/docs/readme_15.html#simple-chooser

I'll e-mail cc-devel now with a link to this issue. It should appear in their list archives,
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-devel/2009-September/thread.html

And it appears that they solved it. The error is gone. Thanks!!
