Problems connecting to server

E

Eric

I am trying to connect Project 2007 to a 2007 server I just set up. I am
able to get to the PWA page using my windows credentials (I added myself to
the "Owners" group in the site settings > permissions area).

However, I am denied a connection when attempting to log in via Project
2007: "Login failed. Project could not connect to server. Please check your
user name and password and try again."

Perusing this forum, I found the following instructions:
---
1) Go to PWA
2) Click on 'Server Settings' in the nav. Click on 'Manage Groups'
3) Click on 'Project Managers' group. Add the user to this group.

In essence, to login from Project Professional, the user needs to have "Log
on to Project Server from Project Professional" global permission (this
global permission is given to the 'Project Managers' security group). Even
without this permission, users can potentially browse the PWA website - but
can't login using Project Professional.
---

However, I simply cannot find the "server settings" or "manage groups" in
Project Web Access. I see a "people and groups" link on the left, which is
where I added permissions for browsing the site, but no "server settings".
Am I looking in the wrong place?

Thanks,
Eric
