Cannot Access MS Project / Server

P

Phyllis F

Hello,

We are using Microsoft Project 2003 and Project Server
2003. They are connected, meaning when I open MS Project
it automatically connects/links to Project Server. Today
when trying to open MS Project I receive the following
error messages:
1) "Project Server was unable to find the specified
project. Check the project name and version. If the
problem continues, contact your server administrator."
I haven't selected a project yet, I'm just trying to open
the application.

I click OK and the next message I receive is:

2) "Cannot connect. Project was unable to establish a
connection with the selected Project Server. This could
be caused by a loss of network connectivity, invalid
username or password, lack of an enterprise global
template, or problems with the Project Server or
database, or your Project Server may not have enterprise
features enabled."
I know that it is not a connectivity problem, a
username/password issue, or enterprise features are not
enabled.
My concern is that last week, through the database
itself, I may have changed data on my global enterprise
template. However, I believe I successfully accessed MS
Project even after doing those changes. Could changing
something on the global template cause this problem? If
so, what should the global template look like in the
database itself? If I had what it should look like, I
could go in and fix it....

I click OK and the project server accounts dialog box
displays. It does allow me to select work offline and
then MS Project opens.

We checked the Event Viewer on the server itself and
there are quite a number of errors going back to
Saturday. The error numbers here are: 0x80040e4d,
0x80004003, and 0x80004005.

I have searched the MS knowledge base looking for answers
and I am unable to find anything that will help me.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem is or what I
should try?

Thank you so much.

Phyllis

Phyllis:

It sounds like the database services may have quit. Is it possible your disk
drive is full because your SQL logs got too big?
