In the Apache logs, there is a 503 error; the message means "Temporarily 
Unavailable — the service or file that is being requested is not currently

Is this a setting within the database? If so what table; can I do an 
update sql command?

Where else can I look?

By having done a fresh install, I see that Drupal 6.28 and PHP 5.3 can 
coexist.
