Project server gives a blank screen

I have just made a single computer installation of Project Server 2003
with a Windows Server 2003 and an an SQL Server backend and followed
every step that is on the Microsoft documentation. We have a domain on
our Intranet and I am using my domain account for the instalation.

My problem is that when I open the Project server URL I get asked for
my connect username for the computer (which I though that the whole
point of having a domain and network authentication is that is would
use my windows ID to connect) and once I put my info I get the PWA
page. I input there the administrator username and the password. It
then sends me to an Admin page but it holds on waiting to load and at
the end it just gives me a blank page.

I think that my biggest problem comes from the windows authentication
when I first open the link and that is why I am getting the blank page.

Any suggestions. I have installed the whole thing from windows several
times and have had the same problem.

Thanks,
Andres

After you install Project Server initially, you can only log into the system
using the built-in Administrator account. Navigate to your Project Server
instance by entering a URL in the following form in your Internet Explorer:

http://servername/projectserver

On the login page, enter "Administrator" (without the quotes) as the user
name, and enter the password you selected while you were installing Project
Server. To use Microsoft Project with Project Server, you will also need to
set up a login account in Microsoft Project by referring to the following
FAQ:

Given your inexperience with the software, please refer to the following FAQ
for information about books, documentation, and training on Project Server:

Hope this helps.

Dale, thanks for the input. Sorry if I didnt make myself clear. Let
me put my steps and then maybe you can understand better my problem.

Initially I input http://server/projectserver and I get asked for my
domain account and password. I then input it and then it sends me to
the PWA page asking for the project server login and password. There I
input Administrator and the password I picked. Once I do that, it
sends me to the link http://server/projectserver/prereq.asp and it just
sits there with a blank page.

Pretty much I am clueless on what to do.

Thanks,
Andres

Hi,

Darn it!!! YOU ARE RIGHT!!! The problem was on the ActiveX controls.
Weird, I did put all activeX controls on enabled when I installed
project server. Oh well, thanks for the help.

Andres
