<p>I am junior web developer I am setting up my first website with Craft CMS. I have been getting the "Service Unavailable" error message on my site every time I try to enter not logged in as admin. I've done some searches on this StackExchange site and tried setting again the permissions for <code>craft/app/</code>, <code>craft/config/</code>, and <code>craft/storage/</code> as told in the installation docs, but didn't work. I've also tried modifying the <code>.htaccess</code> as told in other thread, but still didn't work.</p>

<p>Any help would be very appreciated. And forgive my ignorance since I'm very new to this CMS :D.</p>

I am junior web developer I am setting up my first website with Craft CMS. I have been getting the "Service Unavailable" error message on my site every time I try to enter not logged in as admin. I've done some searches on this StackExchange site and tried setting again the permissions for `craft/app/`, `craft/config/`, and `craft/storage/` as told in the installation docs, but didn't work. I've also tried modifying the `.htaccess` as told in other thread, but still didn't work.

Any help would be very appreciated. And forgive my ignorance since I'm very new to this CMS :D.

Make sure your site is enabled under Settings ➞ General ➞ System Status.

Also, check your craft.log files under `/craft/storage/runtime/logs/craft.log`.
