Project Sever 2007 and Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 on same machine

[Andy S]

Why is it not possible to install Project Server 2007 on a server that
already has Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 on it?

What if the server has both Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 and MOSS
2007? Can I install Project Server 2007 on the server then?

Thanks!

Hi Andy, I'm not sure that it's not possible, just not recommended.

Why you would even want to do this ?

Hi Andy,

it may be techically possible, but not feasable. the reason why you would
want to upgrade your portal to 2007 first is because project server 2007 is a
sharepoint application which utilises a lot of SharePoint 2007 functionality,
not to mention that Project Server 2007 does not work without WSS 3.0

You would essentially have 2 separate systems that cannot talk to eachother
nor utilise their great synergy.
Hope this helps

I ask because our Sharepoint Team is migrating from SPS 2003 to MOSS
2007, but doing it all on the same server. I know if I want to then
integrate MOSS 2007 and Project Server 2007, I have to install the
Project Server 2007 binary files on the same computer as MOSS 2007.
However, this computer has SPS 2003 on it as well, and when I tried
this, I got an error message that said Project Server 2007 could not
be installed on a machine that has SPS 2003.

Andy:

I think the appropriate approach would be to use a separate server for
PS2007 and ultimately join it to the MOSS farm when the migration is
complete.

Thanks, Gary. Our plan is to use a seperate machine for Project
Server 2007; however, I still have to install the binary files on the
machine that is running MOSS 2007 (at least, that is my
understanding). So, if that machine has SPS 2003, I cannot install
the binary files. I was wondering why this is the case --- do anyone
know why Project Server 2007 conflicts with SPS 2003?
