Problem is it does not take me to the admin panel. When I go to Magento through localhost it shows error message "Service Temporarily Unavailable".

Magento 2.1.7 is successfully installed on the database and I added Magento to the htdocs folder on Mac.

    Please mention Magento version you have installed, so that other users can answer for that particular Magento version. – Mohit Kumar Arora Jun 27 '17 at 4:32
  • hi Mohit I have installed Magento 2.1.7 – sumeet shienh Jun 27 '17 at 5:39
  • In my opinion, answer from @vinod-kumar is correct. Please check /var/log folder for the exception if you can't find maintenance.flag file. – Mohit Kumar Arora Jun 27 '17 at 6:41

Check if there is a file called maintenance.flag and if so delete it.

Magento 1.x : maintenance.flag file is in : magento root directory

Magento 2.x : maintenance.flag file is in : var folder

When Magento is performing certain tasks it temporarily creates this file. Magento checks for its existence and if it's there will send users to the page you described.

There is a slightly change between Magento 1 and 2 in the maintenance mode because these are the locations of the maintenance flags

Magento 1 = in the root

Magento 2 = in the var folder

The strangest thing is that in Magento 2 the file is a hidden file

.maintenance.flag

NOTE : The maintenance file in Magento 2 is a hidden file and will only be listed when you use ls -la
