Getting server error

I was getting: ` 500 Internal Server Error Sorry, something went wrong. A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation. If you see them, send them this information as text (screenshots frighten them): <SOMETHING> `

However, they are back up for me.

I'm getting the same thing.

tootie• 9 years ago

I was seeing that same thing. The headline was "500 Internal Server Error" but the response code was actually 200.

jayadevjd• 9 years ago

Yeah me too. Back up now

asdz• 9 years ago

Same, yet the first thing I thought is did my ISP setup some blocking now? lol

Looks like they were hacked. Not sure what the hash represents but i am sure someone will decode it shortly

champagnepapi2• 9 years ago

I don't believe that means they were hacked.

Pretty sure the "hash" is just some encoded debugging data and logs.

TheSwordsman2• 9 years ago

It's probably correlation information that allows them to pull further diagnostic information.

Mind sharing what information you have which makes you think they were hacked? :)

Because, of course, when you hack Youtube you put a hash up there.

It's an encrypted, base64 encoded, traceback w/ some other data. They could get it from logs, but it comes in handy when individuals are reporting issues.

I didn't expect the outage to last this long. Neither did they, I'm sure.

alekratz• 9 years ago

Yup, I've gotten it a couple of times this morning. I bet they're quite aware and are working on fixing it.

I'm in the process of uploading a video, and that is still working properly. However, trying to playback some of the videos I just uploaded is hitting an error.

Seems to be a partial outage.

donatj• 9 years ago

I like to watch videos before going to work and them being down has my morning in a funk.

http://downdetector.com/status/youtube Youtube was down for 30 minutes due to DOS attack launched by Chinese communist government to disrupt the live broadcast event of Chinese billionaire in exile Guo Wengui. He planned to expose the evidence of the corruption of top Chinese government officials, but Youtube was brought down 1 and half minutes after the live broadcast began. Here is a report for another episode involving Voice of America(VOA): http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/09/interview-with-guo-wengui-thr...
