Phantom project server site

D

Denis in Brisbane

In the course of installing a new projectserver and migrating data from an
old one, I had a number of failures. As a consequence I have a phantom site
and am getting a number of errors in the error log, with a variety of
messages.

The database has gone, the IIS site has gone but when I run EDITSITE I still
see the site name. If I do a test everything fails except the registry. I
can't delete it with EDITSITE because I get the message:

[sitename]: Error encountered finding website number of virtual site. Site
deletion aborted.

Looking in the registry the only place I can see the site name is buried
deep down in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
Microsoft
Office
11.0
MS Project
WebClient Server
[sitename]
with 2 things under it - Datasets and Services.

Is it safe to just go in with Regedit and delete the entry and its
sub-entries? Will that stop the error log entries?

Probably. Of course that doesn't account for any other leftovers laying
around.<g>

Thanks, Gary. I'll kill the entry and see if the error log cleans up.
