Search not working

[ghostme]

Hi guys,
Whenever I try to search through the pwa instance on my project server
installation I receive this error:

The site http://g4v-49de2443c57/PWA/ could not be found in the Web
application SPWebApplication Name=SharePoint - 80 Parent=SPWebService

If you want to search project (ie schedule data) you need to use the Business
Data Catalogue which is only available in MOSS. If have WSS and not MOSS
then search is constrained to a single site (ie each WSS project workspace).

I think you should create a site collecteion on http://g4v-49de2443c57/. Then
search wil do better.

A site collection will already be in place as this is a requirement for
provisioning PWA.

 

[Sander]

I do not fully agree with you on this one (no offense). When provisioning
PWA, a site collection is created on http://server/pwa level. I am suggesting
a site collection on http://server/ level which is not a technical
requirement for provisioning a pwa site.

Extract from Technet Article:-

Install the binary files.
Select Complete for the server installation type.
Run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard:
Create a new farm.
Create a new configuration database.
Configure the farm services:
Start the Project Application service.
Create Web applications:
Create a Web application for the Project Web Access site content
Create a site collection for the Web application.
Create a Web application for the Shared Services Provider.
Create the Shared Services Provider.
Provision the Project Server 2007 site on the farm.

As you will see from above, the site collection is created on the web app
which is typically http://servername:{port} or http://alias:{port}

No offense taken.

ok point taken.
Still doubt if the environment of ghostme is configured like that. (the
error he describes has the potential for missing site collection on top
level).

cheers

Paul,

So if I have a site in PS 2007, and I have a document in a documnet
library, I should be able to search that site and see that document come up?

Currently, I have nothing coming up even if I search for the name of the
document in the library. I do have search enabled on Central Administration.

I do not have MOSS, WSS and PS2007 is all on one server.
