HTTP server returned unexpected status: Internal Server Error

Question

I have been using the Lightning Bug API to access Bugzilla via XMLRPC. It had been working fine for the past 10 days but since yesterday, I cannot access the following using the API. https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/xmlrpc.cgi

I can access the bugs of all other projects, except Apache.

I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcHttpTransportException: **HTTP server returned unexpected status: Internal Server Error**
    at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcCommonsTransport.checkStatus(XmlRpcCommonsTransport.java:259)

    at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java:137)
    at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java:126)

Thanks in advance.

An internal server error means there is a problem with the web application or CGI script your client is communicating with. So there is nothing you, as the author of the client can do.
