Cannot create

[John Stone]

We are in the process of evaluating Project Server 2002.
We've set up a server and have successfully installed SQL
Server 2000, Sharepoint Team Services and Project Server
under Windows 2000 Server running IIS 5.0 (all on the
same server). So far, most things that I've tested have
worked except for one: Project Server 2002 cannot seem to
generate project subwebs under SharePoint Team Services
(STS) when I publish projects to the server. STS seemed
to install correctly. The public documents subweb was
created and I can open it from Project Server. If I try
to open an issue on a project with Web Access, I get a
message that there is no subweb. If I then try to create
a subweb for a particular project (Admin | Manage
SharePoint Team Services | Manage subwebs), I get this
message: "Error occurred when creating subweb. Subweb
does not seem to exist. XML document must have toplevel
element."

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to solve this
problem?

By the way, I can create subwebs if I go directly to the
SharePoint site administration from Web Access. I've
also tried creating a subweb and then connecting the
subweb to the project in Web Access - no success.

Thanks,
John Stone

Thanks for the reply. I checked out the link but none of
the articles seem to address my problem. Several of them
talk about error messages caused by a failure to create a
subweb during installation of SharePoint Team Services,
but SharePoint installed (apparently) without any
problems. I have access to the public documents site
from within Web Access, I can generate sub webs using the
SharePoint admin site but Project Web Access cannot
create subwebs for individual projects.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Laith:

Are you able to create a subweb directly from SharePoint Administration?

Has anyone solved this problem? I tried everything that is documented out there so far without any luck. Originally I thought it was a permissions issue at the server side, but I made sure that the users where part of the administration group. Also, I made sure that STS and PWA had read and write privileges at the IIS. The error reads “Error occurred when creating subweb. Subweb does not seem to exist. XML document must have a top level element.

Your help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Rodrigo,

Are you manually trying to create the subweb after a user has published a
plan?
Can you provide more action steps that lead up to the error?
