HTML Pages on Project Server

[patemarie]

I recently upgraded a 2002 Project Server environment to 2003. We have the
application and Sharepoint running on a 2003 server and SQL on a separate
2000 machine. We have some custom reports that are html format and asp
format. I cannot get these to be viewable in the production or lab
environment. Both environments are identical so that is no indication of
anything. The folder is being shared and the web sharing is enabled in the
Default Web Site which would make the URL something like http://<server
name>/projectserver/<folder name>/<report name>.html, if I'm not mistaken.
But the ole "The page cannot be found" message appears and for the life of
me, I cannot figure this one out. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Patemarie,

So you created a folder under the IIS Virtual Root directory for project server and put some html files in there and they don't display when requested? Hmmmm.... Is the virtual root setup to use HTML mime types? "Page not found" is very different from "unathorized to view the page". Can you copy the exact text of the error page into a response here?

Earl, thanks for the reply. I was able to resolve the issue. What you have
to do is provide .asp pages their own "web site" in IIS, then when you extend
the virtual server, you have to exclude the path. What this does, in
essence, is tricks Microsoft Sharepoint Services into allowing the .asp page
to be viewable. The issue was the same for html and .asp reporting pages but
was resolved by what I did.
