PS/PWA "Error loading and running event receiver"

[Alyssa]

I received multiple instances of the following error in the application log
in one of our MOSS / PS 2007 servers (two in the farm).

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Windows SharePoint Services 3
Event Category: (1105)
Event ID: 6875
Date: 12/1/2008
Time: 12:06:55 PM
User: N/A
Computer: [server name]
Description:
Error loading and running event receiver
Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.WSSEventReceivers.PSDBUpdater in
Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.PWA,Version=12.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c. Additional information is below.

: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

OR

: Value does not fall within the expected range.


what does this mean, and does anyone know what i can do to avoid getting
these errors?

Thanks, in advance,

The error, by itself, is not enough to diagnose the problem. You'll need to
dig into the ULS logs to investigate further. Post what you find there if
you need help interpreting them.

Hi,

I have the same error, if by ULS, you mean the SharePoint logs, here is a
sample:

12/08/2008 16:46:11.10 w3wp.exe (0x11BC)
0x119C Windows SharePoint Services General
72lp Medium Creating directory Project Documents/Photos
12/08/2008 16:46:11.17 w3wp.exe (0x11BC)
0x119C Windows SharePoint Services General
6875 Critical Error loading and running event receiver
Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.WSSEventReceivers.PSDBUpdater in
Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.PWA,Version=12.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c.
Additional information is below. : Value does not fall within the expected
range.

This error happens every time a directory is created by an external
application using the SharePoint Object Model, but not when created from the
SharePoint UI.
The folder itself is actually created and correctly inherits permissions
from the site.

Furthermore, SharePoint complains in its logs that SPWeb and SPSite objects
may have not been disposed properly, which seems related to this Project
Server Error

Hope this helps,
Damien
