Title: Adding a new site returns 503 Service Unavailable
ThreadText: # Adding a new site returns 503 Service Unavailable
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-01-21)
  
  I successfully installed Craft locally and my primary site is up and running, but when I add a new site with it's own base URL I cannot access it due to a HTTP 503 error.
  
  I've tried various combinations of environment variables and aliases for the URL, and for now I just added the base URL directly in the CP (`anotherdomain.locahost`).
  
  I also played around with various vhosts settings in XAMPP (Win 10) to no avail. It seems to me that the vhost is properly configured.
  
  Here is my stack trace, any help would be much appreciated.

  System status was disabled, enabling it solved the problem.
  
  Now I'm not sure if this is the expected behavior, what threw me off was that I could still preview the primary site. I'm guessing on multi-site installs it's best to disable at the site level rather than the system level.
