PWA 2007 Default.aspx Login Error

[Hector Gomez]

Hi everyone.

I have a weird error trying to access my PWA/default.aspx page. This are the
scenarios:

a) When I access my PWA home page at my local network using the server name
(http://ProjectServer/PWA/default.aspx) I can access normally without any
problems, the page display the information correctly.

b) When I access my PWA home page at my local network same PC but using now
the I.P. address (http://192.168.XX.XX/PWA/default.aspx), after typing the
user and pswd I got the Error "An unexpected error ocurrs..." I set the trace
on and the Error that I got is the next one:

Server Error in '/' Application.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The same thing happens if I try to access on the Internet using
http://projectserver.mydomain.com/PWA/default.aspx.

The weird thing here is that I can access some page content without any
problem.
For Example, if I access
http://projectserver.mydomain.com/PWA/_layouts/recyclebin.aspx, there's no
problem at all. Same thing using
http://192.168.XX.XX/PWA/_layouts/recyclebin.aspx.

So in a few words, using the server name, no problems to access all. Using
the IP and the Internet to access I only can access a few things.

I was looking at some blogs but no answers obtained yet.
Anybody has a clue about it? I have a lot of people over me waiting for
access the PWA page on the Internet.

Thanks Hector Gomez

I have more information.

I added the IP to my host archive and now I can to connect to all PWA using
the http://projectserver/pwa/default.aspx page.
That's on a PC being on the network and not belonging to the domain, but not
at Internet.
I added too to the host the prosejectserver.mydomain.com but didn't work.

Any clues?

AI finally solved.

I'm sure this gonna help some users with the same problem that I had.

There was a SharePoint configuration.
For solving this problem do the following:

1.- Go to your sharepoint central administration page and go to operations
tab.
2.- Go to Global Configuration and click on Alternate Access Mappings.
3.- At the Alternate Access Mapping Collection dropdown (default is
ShowAll), select your Sharepoint page that contais the PWA (SharePoint - 80
at my case)
4.- Once selected the SharePoint - 80, click on edit Public URLs.
5.- Note that at the Default space is your server name (http://projectserver
at my case). At your Intranet you can place the IP (http://192.168.XX.XX),
and the most important for watch your PWA at the Internet, place your web
address at the Internet Option (http://projectserver.mydomain.com).

That solved the problem, and now all users can access the page on the
Internet.
