Project Web Access and Sharepoint DNS

[planetreddy]

Hi,
Any inputs?

I am running Project Server 2003 with Sharepoint links
and all work well in the intranet but when accessing from
the extranet the Sharepoint site information cannot be
accessed.

From what I can tell, the Project Web Access is linking

to http://servername/sites/.. where it should be
linking to http://servername.domain.com/sites/.. I can
access the project server with the FQDN
http://servername.domain.com/projectserver so the DNS is
setup and resolving correctly.
I have tried changing the Project / Sharepoint reference
in the admin Sharepoint section from
http://servername:80/sites to
http://servername.domain.com:80/sites but even though the
test link resolves it correctly when I try to save the
change I get an error:

"Project Server cannot connect to the specified Web server
running Windows SharePoint Services. Please check the HTTP
protocols and the port numbers in both URLs".

I tried changing this reference direct on the database as
well as some registry entries to the FQDN but the changes
cause either project server or Sharepoint to not work
altogether.

I can resolve http://servername.domain.com/projectserver
both on the intranet and the extranet so this is not a
DNS issue.

I can see that the project web access links to
http://servername both internally and externally so I'm
trying to change this to reference
http://servername.domain.com how do I do this?

This must be possible somehow otherwise this would be
unuseable over the internet.

hi there,

one thing you might want to try is to add FQDN as a host header on the
web site under IIS at IIS Manager --> Web Sites --> Default Web Site
--> Properties --> Advanced.

Hi Nico,
Thanks for the quick response!
Noopes it does not resolve this issue. Further I have enabled 'Bypass
proxy server for local settings' in IE options. do you think this makes
a difference?
