I create an ASP.Net project and I want to host it on local IIS. I do the following steps In Project properties -> Web settings I chose Use Local IIS Server and gave a URL as localhost/MyApp.

These are the settings I have in my project

1. Application Pool set to ASP.Net v4.0 Classic
2. App Pool Enable 32 bit Applicationproperty is true
3. App Pool is started
4. Project build property set to Any CPUfor Target framework

I have the following code in Global.asax. Application_BeginRequest method is empty in the same file.

protected override void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

base.Application_Start(sender, e);

String _path = String.Concat(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.RelativeSearchPath, “;”,System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(“PATH”));

System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable(“PATH”, _path, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);

MyAppLog.Initialize();

MyAppLog.WriteMessage(“Application Started”);

}

I tried accessing it on my firefox browser. Following is something that I am facing

1. Application Pool is Started
2. I try to access my local website (by giving url as localhost/MyApp)
3. I receive the error as HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable
4. Application Pool is Stopped

Can anyone help me to understand what’s happening? Please guide me through useful steps to resolve this issue.

Thanks.
