At times, on browsing to any of the Sharepoint site, the below error comes up
Service Unavailable
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.
This means the Web server (running the Web site) is currently unable to handle the HTTP request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. Some servers in this state may also simply refuse the socket connection, in which case a different error may be generated because the socket creation timed out.
1) Check if World Wide Web Publishing Service is running (check in Services (Type services.msc on Run and press Enter))
Check if the IIS Website is running (the web application where the site is running)
3) Go to IIS -> Check if the application Pools for the web application is running. Else start it. This will fix the issue
Other than Application Pool in Stopped status, There are few more reasons for Service Unavailable: HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable in SharePoint, like Password expiry, etc.
