The service is unavailable.
 

Alright, so ive been trying to recreate my VB Forum (Because the previous owner of our game server canceled his server unexpectedly, and we lost our entire forum DB).. So i re installed VB on the latest version, and planned to start building from scratch... But everytime i got to create a new usergroup, i get The service is unavailable. error. I thought maybe 4.1.2 or w/e version it is is bugged, so i went back to the old version we had, And reinstalled the SQL again. Only to get the same problem...

So far, ive only noticed the issue when trying to create a new usergroup.. Any idea whats wrong?

Ok, more issues.. Now when i try to go in and add a payment API, it logs me out. and when i log in, it just keeps going back to the login screen. IDK what the issue is. Is there some plugin i need to enable on my server? this is getting weird...

Its windows Server 08 with plesk 10 running the site.

You may want to ask your host about that error. They may have some security set too high on the server which is causing the issue.

Step 1 = refresh the app pool
Works? Good.
No? Then...
Step 2 = verify PHP settings are correct. FastCGI suggested, but see how it works as ISAPI
Works? Good.
No? Then...
Step 3 = PHP and/or file system permissions are not set correctly
Works? Good.
No? Then... yeah. I'm out of immediate ideas.

You may need to try a dummy info.php just to see if PHP is actually working.
If it works, and vB does not, not sure what the host would do for you.

Plesk 10? Is it on PHP 5.2 or 5.3?
I had no luck on 5.3 with a vB forum, so I rolled back to 5.2.x. There were odd errors on 5.3

Good luck.

Also it sounds like you're asking in the wrong place. vb.org is for modifications, but you haven't gotten anywhere near modifying stuff. You want vb.com.

Edit php.ini & enable display_errors and HUP IIS/Apache

See if it spits out a error when you try to modify/add a usergroup.
