I am attempting to install and configure Project Server 2007 on Windows
Server 2008 R2. After successful installation, Sharepoint configuration, and
PWA setup, I try to access the PWA site and get the error message "An
unexpected error has occurred". If I follow the same installation /
configuration procedure with the only difference being Windows Server 2003 I
can open the PWA website successfully.
I am creating a clean install of Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 and applying all
available updates (I have also tried with out any updates).
I add the Application Server & Web Server Roles plus any other required
roles. I also enable Webserver support and COM+ Network Access under the
Application Server configuration.
I then install SQL Server 2005 Std x64 followed by SP3 (using Windows
Update via WSUS to install). I then apply all available updates (I have also
tried with out any updates apart from SP3). I change the SQL Surface area
configuration to use named pipes & TCP/IP. SQL Authentication is mixed mode.
Collation is set to:
Binary – No
Binary Code Point – No
Case sensitive – No
Kana Sensitive – Yes
Accent Sensitive - Yes
Width Sensitive – Yes
I then install Project Server 2007 x64 with SP2 slipstreamed. I choose a
Complete installation.
I run the Sharepoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard and
create a new server farm. To keep it simple while resolving this problem I
create a user with both domain and local administrator rights and grant "run
as a service" rights to the user. This user is used for all service accounts
ie search service / content / SQL Server. (The first time I set up PS2007 I
used seperate accounts with only the appropriate access rights granted).
In the Sharepoint configuration site I start the Project Application Service
and start and configure the Search Service.
I create a Shares Services Provider Site and create a PWA site.
I create a MS Office Project workspace site collection.
I create a new SSP and use the first website I created.
On the SSP Project Web Access Sites I create a Project Web Access Site using
the second website I created.
The Site provisions successfully.
Now when I try to access the site from either the server or remotely I get
the error message. If I try and access the site using an unauthenticated
user then I get an access denied message, so I am connecting and
authenticating successfully.
I am not an expert in any of the particular areas ie Win Server, Sharepoint
(WSS3.0), SQL Server 2005 or Project Server so I could quite easily have
missed something obvious, so any suggestions for additional steps in the
above process would be appreciated.
