PScomplus error.

[Ron Clayton]

In configuring Sharepoint Team Services for Microsoft
Project Web Access (Knowledge Base Article 819642)I get to
the step to run PSCOM+, but when I click the Create Apps
button I get a popup message that says "General COM
administration error".

Does anyone have any idea what causes this error?

Hi Ron,

Make sure the user you are adding is a local administrator on the computer.
If you are running STS on a Windows 2003 Server, make sure you review the
following KB article and install the patch:

Q319281:

Hope this helps,

Thanks, after entering a valid user with the correct
privilages and password, the PSComm program worked.

Moving on to the next step, connecting MS Project with
Sharepoint, I ran into another road block.

I go into MSProject Web Access as the MSProject server
administrator. Click on Manage SharePoint Team Services.
Click on Add Server. Enter in all the information from
the SharePoint Configuration Wizard. Click Submit. I get
a pop up message that says:

Microsoft Project Server cannot connect to the specified
Web server running Sharepoint Team Services.

The reasons could be:
1. STS in not installed on http://server:1651.
2. domain\user in not in NT Administrator on server.
3. If the local has proxy servers for Internet access,the
proxy server is not specified in the LAN settings for
Internet Explorer.
4. The server URL http://server:1651 is not correct or the
server can not be accessed at this time.
5. The SharePoint adminstration port 2481 is not correct.

For more informaiton....


The real message has the real server, domain, & user
names, which I did not want to expose here.

As far as I can tell, the configuration passes all
five "reasons". I was able to bring up web pages using
the server:1651 and server:2481 URLs. The domain\user is
in the Administrative group on the server. This is the
same domain\user I used in the PSComm setup. Our internal
network does not use proxy servers. I tried running
proxycfg.exe, but the instructions (Article 819642) is not
clear what the command line should be if you have no proxy
servers. I used "proxycfg -d".

Any help you could provide would be great.

Thanks,
Ron

Ron:

This typically means that you've typed the accounts incorrectly. Make sure
you enter them in the format "domainname\username" without the quotes. Make
sure the accounts exist as well!

Ron:

Type the proxy command this way:

proxycfg -d -p "fakeproxy" "<local>"

Include all the quotes as shown above

Hi Ron,

The ProxyCFG tool is specific to how Project Server communicates with
SharePoint and is not related to whether or not you have a 'real' Proxy
Server installed. Run ProxyCFG exactly like this from a command prompt (of
course, change the servername and ip address with your own :

proxycfg -d -p "http://servername"
"<local>;servername;project.server.ip.address"

When you installed Project Server, did you run the SharePoint configuration
wizard? If not, what you are attempting could not be accomplished until you
run the Project Server CD and run that tool.

Let me know if you still have a problem... -Bill
