Unable to start server process - ProjectQueueService / pjevtsvc

[Neufusion]

This is installed on the same server as Sharepoint Portal Server 2007
and is using the same SSP as the main portal site.

I am getting these two errors:

Are you connecting to a SQL server instance running on the same machine? It
always helps to provide information on your setup!

Yes SQL Server is installed on the same machine.

The SSP service uses a dedicated user account.

So what may be happening here is that the Que Service is starting before SQL
and shuts itself down because it can't find its SQL server. Restart the
queue service to overcome this problem. You might consider making the
service start dependent on SQL Server first starting.

Hi,
I'm having this same issue/message, running everything on the same
box, local system account for all services, sql definitely starting
first and have bounced teh services many times. Any help much
appreciated. -Dave

I had a single server setup and thought using Local System and Network
server defaults would make things easy... They don't.

I used a new box and reinstalled everything, this time following
microsoft guidelines for SharePoint administrative and service
accounts and using least-privledge accounts. I also configured
Kerberos authentication. After I was done, I nuked the test sites on
the new server and then did a backup from the original SharePoint
Server using stsadm.exe and then restored to the new site. It worked
like a charm. All of my SharePoint AND Project errors and pains went
away.

I dont have a definitive answer for you, but I think you should try
setting up SharePoint and Project Server to use service accounts
instead of Local System / Network Service.

Here's a quick rundown of my services and proceses for SharePoint and
Project Server and the service accounts running them:
Windows Task Manager:
w3wp.exe / sharepoint_apppool_mysite
w3wp.exe / sharepoint_apppool_portal
w3wp.exe / sharepoint_apppool_sspadmin
OWSTIMER.EXE / sharepoint_serverfarm_account
Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Queuing.exe /
sharepoint_serverfarm_account
w3wp.exe / sharepoint_serverfarm_account
Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Eventing.exe /
sharepoint_serverfarm_account
mssdmn.exe / sharepoint_serverfarm_account
mssearch.exe / sharepoint_serversearch_account
mssearch.exe / sharepoint_serversearch_account
mssdmn.exe / sharepoint_serversearch_account
Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Eventing.exe / sharepoint_ssp_account
Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Queuing.exe / sharepoint_ssp_account
w3wp.exe / sharepoint_ssp_account
sqlservr.exe / sqlserver_service_account

Services:
Microsoft Office Project Server Events Service / DOMAIN
\sharepoint_serverfarm_account
Microsoft Office Project Server Queue Service / DOMAIN
\sharepoint_serverfarm_account
Windows SharePoint Services Timer / DOMAIN
\sharepoint_serverfarm_account
Office SharePoint Server Search / DOMAIN
\sharepoint_serversearch_account
Windows SharePoint Services Search / DOMAIN
\sharepoint_serversearch_account
SQL Server / DOMAIN\sqlserver_service_account

If anyone reading has any comments or suggestions for MY setup, please
let me know.
