    text
    copied!<p>I work for The Smeal College of Business at Penn State. I am doing a project for the Supply chain program and I am creating an excel workbook in Sharepoint that uses a lot of UDF's. I have no problem accessing the workbook or using other UDF's, but when I try to use OpenWorkbookForEditing() I get the following stack trace:</p> <p>System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 503: Service Unavailable. at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters) at ClassName.ExcelWebService.ExcelService.OpenWorkbookForEditing(String workbookPath, String uiCultureName, String dataCultureName, Status[]&amp; status) at ClassName.ClassNameFunctions.testWriteCell()</p> <p>Additionally, I've tried to access excelservice.asmx through PHP SOAP and have not received a response. Each attempt to connect to this service provides a 503 error in the IIS logs similar to the following:</p> <p>2012-08-06 15:14:58 xxxx::xxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxxxxx POST /_vti_bin/excelservice.asmx - 80 - xxxx::xxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxxxxx Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+MS+Web+Services+Client+Protocol+2.0.50727.5456) 503 0 0 59</p> <p>I've tried changing most of the settings in Sharepoint Central Administration, as well as some of the setting in IIS. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? Thanks.</p> <p>I'm running a Sharepoint 2010 server on Windows Server 2008. </p>
