Here is the situation I have. In short, we are trying to create a
custom project guide that has content specific to our project
management process and centrally host it in IIS. When we reference
the guide in a prototype mpp that we created a while ago, it works
fine. In any existing project plans that we have, either mpp's or
plans that are on the server, we get this error:
---------------------------------
Microsoft Project cannot access the Microsoft Project Server
http://<servername>/ProjectServer/.
Please check the Server URL in the Collaborate tab of the Options
dialog box (Tools menu). Make sure the server is functioning
correctly, and is a valid Microsoft Project 2002 Server. Note that you
cannot display pages from a Microsoft Project 2000 server inside
Microsoft Project 2002.
---------------------------------
The Server URL is fine, the server we are referencing is a trusted
site, and we have successfully tested the URL to the project guide in
IE and it comes up fine there. And according to what I've read in the
Microsoft documentation, the only requirement is that the files reside
either locally or on a trusted site - which we have met those
criteria. What is even more interesting is that the buttons for the
project guide come up fine, so I think the failpoint is when it
attempts to load the html page.
So, are there any ideas why this would work on one project plan and
nowhere else? I would also like to point out that we have a large
Project deployment, so manual deployment to client desktops is
something we would rather not do and from what I'm seeing as far as
how the architecture is supposed to work, this should not be
necessary.
Thanks,
