We have the following running off of 2 VMWare server
1 VMWare server running SQL2005 (with appropriate permissions)
1 VMWare server running WSS and Project Server 2007.
We have installed Project Server, WSS, and Created and provisioned a website
without an issue.
However when accessing the http://server/pwa we received the dreaded
Unexpected Error, with no information in regards to the error. After several
hours of digging and making a change to the web.config file we were able to
see what the error is.
The Error is as follows;
Server Error in '/' Application.
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process
request. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an
instance of an object.

Source Error:
The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown
when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below
steps, then request the URL:
1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the
error. Example:
<%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>
or:
2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given
application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only
that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.
Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a
memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has
debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

Keep in mind we have blown this server away and rebuilt it several times
because of all the changes we were doing to try to rectify the issues.
Any help or at least the direction would be greatly appreciated.
