This is a new Windows 8 installation. I added IIS to it.
But any website on the system (even http://localhost) gives me the error Error 503 Service Unavailable .
The Application and System eventlog show no errors whatsoever related to IIS or security .
httperr1.log shows:

I uninstalled and reinstalled IIS.
The Application Pools are all started.
I added the DefaultApppool identity to the WWWROOT security.
But I cannot find any hint anywhere on my system of what the cause of the problem could be.
The only thing is that I disabled UAC (in the interface, not in the registry).
Any hint of how to find the problem would be appreciated. I have googled a lot but did not find anything that could cause this without writing any events to the eventlog.
Thanks
Ben
