Hi,
I have installed Commerce Server 2007. The server also has SQL server 2000.
After folloing step by step instructions in the installation guide and unpackaging the CSharp site I am not able to browse the CSharp site and any of the webserices (Catalog Web Service, Orders Web Service etc)
I get the message Service Unavailable when I try to browse from IIS
Also get the error "Server Error in '/' Application." message when I try to browse using IE (http://localhost/catalogwebservice/catalogwebsvc.asmx)
Do not understand what is the problem.
Thanks,

Granada,
The Service Unavailable message is typically caused by the inability for IIS to start the worker process. Most times this is because the worker process identity has insufficient rights to the necessary resources. Starting with ASP.NET 2.0 an option was added to aspnet_regiis.exe to assist in this process. If you haven't used this tool I would recommend following the guidance from the patterns & practices group to create the service account.
If you see the Sever Error in '/' Application there should be some further information on the page (if run locally on the server as I believe custom errors is enabled by default) along with an event in the application event log. Please check there as it will provide you further detail to help resolve the issue. If that doesn't provide enough information please post the detail so we can assist in the resolution of the issue.
Cheers,

The first thing I would check is to make sure the default web site is running under ASP.NET 2.0 rather than ASP.NET 1.1. The other thing to check is to make sure you have added users or groups to the appropriate web service roles as outlined in the setup and configuration instructions. Let me know if one of these doesn't do the trick and we can look at other possible issues.

Jeff,
Thanks for the reply.
I have done both. Infact I created a new website running under ASP.NET 2.0 and followed all the instructions in the setup and configuration. Still no luck.
