Answer 1

Hi

503 error mostly comes when application pool is stopped. Can you please check if you are able to browse the intranet site and application pool is started.

Also check if application pool for SharePoint Web Services is also started.

Answer 4

i  was able to resolve this issue by web.config file change.
The following entry in the web.config file was missing:
serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled=”true”

under the system.serviceModel tag of the Web Application web.config.

I added the entry again and the issue was fixed.
