In honor of my upcoming TOGAF 9 certification, I've put together a Timeline of Enterprise Architectures - Zachman FEA, TOGAF, Gartner EA, from 1987 to today.

IIS7, right, the savior?

All I ever got, on my fresh new install, was "HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable." I did everything (firewalls, apppools, debugging).

Turns out it was this deal:

Reserved URL : http://+:80/ User: Frak\G. Hussain Chinoy Listen: Yes Delegate: No SDDL: D:(A;;GX;;;S-1-5-21-563782757-1295803840-1578193986-1001)

Yeah, netsh http show urlacl showed that something was blocking 80. At this point, I don't even care who was reserving it (me, apparently), I just wanted it gone.

netsh http delete urlacl url=http://+:80/
... cleared that right up.

Next, my WCF issues. Cleared up instantaneously (compared to the 503 issues) via http://iweb.adefwebserver.com/Default.aspx?tabid=57&EntryID=34.
