Why is VentureBeat down all the time?
Many of you have noticed that VentureBeat has been down a lot recently. The site was down several frustrating hours last night and for short stints over the last few days.
We’re finding Apache is crashing in response to stuff happening at our content management system, WordPress. We’re still troubleshooting. But this comes at a time when we were already migrating to a different architecture. In the meantime, we believe we’ve found a way to minimize downtime for the time we’re still on the existing platform. So we should have smoother sailing going forward.
Thanks for your patience.
