YouTube home page goes down
The home page of world's most popular video sharing website YouTube
went down for a while today. The web page showed that the site was
facing the 500 internal server error. This error means that the website
is facing issues at server level, but a more specific reason for the
problem has not been ascertained yet.
Upon clicking YouTube, the visitor got this message: "500 Internal Server Error. Sorry, something went wrong. A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation."
Analytics websites like DownRightNow, which track whether a particular site is facing problems in real-time, also showed that YouTube was facing a service disruption.
Even though the YouTube home page was inaccessible right now, particular web pages were still working at the time. For example, users could watch movies on the Google-owned website by logging on to www.youtube.com/movies. When the web page opened, they can search for any video on the website.
This method will work any time the YouTube home page faces service disruption. In order to access YouTube, users can also log in to their Gmail account and proceed to the video sharing website by opening their Google Dashboard. They simply need to follow this path:
Account --> Dashboard --> Manage YouTube Account
This will open the user's YouTube home page, which is unique for each Google account.
