MOSS2007 and MSOPS2007 PWA errors

[Scottdotnot]

Hello,

This one is killing us. We've hds a call into PSS for over 2 weeks logged
about 25 hours of time on the phone and still no solution. After many many
reinstalls and talking to sharepoint people, then project people no matter
what we try we get the same problem.

The install goes fine, the PWA gets provisioned but when you try to open the
PWA site you get a sharepoint web page back that reads: “An unexpected error
has occurred.†There are 2 entries in the event log created from Office
Sharepoint Server, category Office Server General, Event Id 7888.


A runtime exception was detected. Details follow.
Message: The request failed with HTTP status 503: Service Unavailable.

This happens on standalone install, or using a separate sql server. I’ve
reproduced the error on a second server. If I install Project Server first
with just WSS 3.0 it works I can get into the PWA site, but as soon as I
install MOSS the same error comes back.

The ticket is still open, so I’ll let post back if they can actually find
the problem – but I just thought it might be good to post something, and see
if the community has ran across this.

The problem was the proxy setting in the web.config file. It was set to
true, when I set it to false all was well.


<defaultProxy>
<proxy autoDetect="false" />
</defaultProxy>
