Project Publishing on Project Server

[Chuck Strickland]

I just installed MS Project Server and Sharepoint and
everything appears to be working correctly. Login is set
to windows accounts and several accounts have been
established and tested. A simple to do list was created
and looks and works fine and e-mail notification appears
to be working also.

My problem is that I cannot get Project 2000 to publish a
project to the web page. I cannot find anyplace that
tells me what should go in the URL setting in
tools/options/web of the Project 2000 program. I have
tried the server name ie: "http://www.abc.com/" and I
have tried several variations of the login url which
is "http://www.abc.com/ProjectServer/lgnps.asp?
DefPage=/ProjectServer/Admin/Admin.asp"

I have tried:
"http://www.abc.com/ProjectServer"
"http://www.abc.com/ProjectServer/admin/"
and a couple of others that looked promising.

I just don't know where to go next and would appreciate
any guidance anyone can give.

Thanks

Chuck

I found the following Knowledgebase article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;257749

and I have been working on it.

Note that I am using Project Server 2002 and Project
2000. Thay are supposed to play well if you set the
server to not require logon when publishing to the web
page. This is set correctly.

Cause 1: - the URL - I have found that you are supposed
to put the same url into project options box as what you
use to log onto the Project server. I have tried both of
the following:
"http://www.abc.com/ProjectServer/lgnps.asp"
"http://www.abc.com/ProjectServer/lgnint.asp"

They both will get you logged in to the server in IE but
neither will allow you to puglish a project. Note that
website is set up for no anonymous logins, basic
authentication and integrated Windows authentication.

Cause 2 - Not a problem
Cause 3 - Not a problem
Cause 4 - anonymous access to Pjdbcomm.dll in the ISAPI
folder was not activated (because I had turned off
anonymous access to website) so I corrected this using
credentials that are verified working on my main web
site. Did not effect problem.

Cause 5 - I looked at this one in the registry and the
account is the one I entered when installing the software
so I am pretty sure this is correct. I went into the
database properties and set the account to have all the
roles available including database owner - this caused
all kinds of errors when accessing the Project server
with IE. Had to set it back to just the Public and
MSProcectServer roles to get it working again.

Cause 6 - Not a problem
Cause 7 - Not a problem - I think, I couldn't find this
option in Project Server 2002.

Cause 8 - Not a problem - I Think. I ran the share point
configuration utility before installing Project Server
and when I installed Project Server the last time, I let
it create it's own database and this appears to be
working fine.

Cause 9 - Not a problem
Cause 10 - Not a problem
Cause 11 - Not a problem

I haven't got it working yet so I am still looking for
ideas.

Thanks in advance,

Chuck

Chuck:

First of all, if you're going to use Project 2000, then you're not going to
have an enterprise implementation, which means this conversation should be
posted to micrsoft.public.project.standard_and_server. Next if you're going
to use Project 2000, there are a few settings you must address:

Admin > Manage enterprise features -
Make sure that allow only Microsoft Project Professional to publish to this
server is deselected.
Deselect Enable enterprise features

Admin > Manage security -
Make sure Require Microsoft Project to authenticate to Microsoft Project
Server before publishing is deselected and set your server to mixed
authentication.

Hi Gary, thanks for the reply.

First of all, if you're going to use Project 2000, then

you're not going to have an enterprise implementation,
which means this conversation should be posted to
micrsoft.public.project.standard_and_server.
---I appear to be there, If I posted in the wrong place
originally, it appears that someone moved it???

Next if you're going to use Project 2000, there are a few settings you must address:

Admin > Manage enterprise features -
Make sure that allow only Microsoft Project Professional

to publish to this server is deselected.

Deselect Enable enterprise features

Admin > Manage security -
Make sure Require Microsoft Project to authenticate to

Microsoft Project Server before publishing is deselected
and set your server to mixed authentication.--- Both of these have been checked and rechecked. They
were covered in the referenced article.

Still looking for an answer.

Thanks

Chuck
