My localhost (the default website) has not been active for a longtime and I wanted to test a PHP script. To my dismay, I could not even browse to the IISStart.htm that is on all installations. I got the following error.
503Error_01
I am using a Toshiba Satellite laptop X64 with Windows 7 Ultimate with SP1. I had various programs running while writing the book on SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 such as PHP, SharePoint Server, etc. It is possible I had tweaked items around a lot.
I stopped and started the server and the problem remained. There was a fix in stackoverflow site pertaining to this error.
To get this going, I had to make some changes to the advanced settings of the Application pools by clicking the Application Pools as shown:
503Error_02.png
Clicking Advanced Settings displays the following:
503Error_03.png
As suggested the Load User Profile was changed to FALSE. I restarted the server and the 503 Error was displayed when I browsed the IISStart.htm as in the first image above.
Then I looked at the Application Pools status and realized that the DefaultappPool had stopped.
503Error_04.png
When I started it the 503 Error went away and i could display the IISStart.htm page.
503Error_05.png
I went back to Advanced Settings and the 'Load User Profile' was set to TRUE. Changing to FALSE did not produce the 503 error.
I looked at what this settings meant and here is a screen shot. This sets the mode to IIS 6.0
