ASP.Net: The request failed with HTTP status 503: Service Unavailable.

Hi Friends, 

           I faced this problem in my asp.net project with web service. This problem will occur when you are working with web services using ASP.Net. You need to check you app.config file and check the your web service path provided in this app.config file. Just change this path with your existing web service path. You can view your web service path just by right clicking on the web service project and by clicking “View In Browser” option. Just copy path and replace it with the existing wrong path.   

You can insert your comments and suggestions. 

Regards,
Vijay Modi

  4. Hi Kiran,

    Please check your config (web.config / App.Config) file. There the web reference path will be wrong. Update this web reference path and test your application.

  5. I’m seeing this same error when trying to discover through the Add Web Reference screen, I put the URL, which if I paste it into the browser, it shows me the WSDL XML document.

  6. I am facing the same error message but scenario is a little bit different. I am trying to run the Reporting services through SQL Server Management Studio. Even i tried to configure the Reporting Services but seeing that web service identity is not running. I think that could be the reason for this.
    But when i try to execute this i need to mention about the ASP.NET account which is not accepting any character even after selecting the Report Server and Report Manager. Please suggest.
