Modifying the default link to the project server

G

Gary L. Chefetz [MVP]

Your network folks could setup a DNS entry to make that happen. If you do
this, make sure that you change the connection string in your Project Client
so that you're using the same URL to access the server through Project and
Project Web Access, otherwise you'll have difficulties when you use the
Updates page in PWA.

Hi,

The only thing I can think of that could cause this is that you might forgot
to remove first & last line from that HTMl code in that article. Make sure
that you've removed these comment tags from the HTML & leave the code in
between as it is.

Hello Mr. Faisal,

I also face the same problem of Mr. Turki. I tried to track the directory
"default"( I Have to web sites one for sharePoint and an other for Default
where ProjectServer is)
untill I found a file "OWSSVR.DLL" which if "On IIS Manager" I right click
on the file and go to the propearty and select : a redirection to URL and
write "http://<servername>/projectserver/lgnps.asp" it works. AND ONLY ON
THIS FILE.
but what does this file do?
and do I affect any of the process by this action.

Turki & A.Karim,

Make sure that the index.html file you created is the top entry in Documents
tab of Project site Properties.

Check this screen shot for clarity.

Also make sure that you have set the redirection on index.html properly. See
this screen shot.

One other thing that I think can cause it not to work is NTFS permissions on
the index.html. Inherit the permissons on index.html file from the parent
folder where it is actually placed.

Let me know if it solves the issue.

Dear Faisal,
I'm sure about the first two points ("top entry in Documents ","redirection
on index.html properly").
about the last point. it is not clear:
first, I'm logged as administrator.
Second,index.html file is placed in the wwwroot folder which is shared and
has permissions to administrator and I also added all users but nothing
changed.

this is what i understood is that right!

(by the way: the images you gave aren't accessable, altough I know what you
meant)

Regards,
Abdul Karim

Try to access images some time later. Its a FREE image hosting service.

Right click index.html in IIS Manager & select browse. See what happens.

To change security permissions:
Right click the index.html file select properties. Go to security tab. Click
Advanced. Remove all permissions & then click the box "Inherit from
parent....". (Or check permisson on any other file in the same folder
location & make sure permissions on index.html match to that file's
permission.)

See if you can upload screen shots of your IIS settings related to this?
(Try www.tinypic.com) That will be really quick to see where the problem is.

Another way to accomplish this without changing redirection settings on file
is to create a file with following code & make it first file on documents
list. (Change 3 in Content= to 0 & use your project server url.)

<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="3; URL=http://project/projectserver">
<title>Redirector</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>You will be redirected to Project Site</p>
</body>
</html>
