pwa site dissappeared

[Ian Lowe]

Hi,
I have a situation where I cannot access the pwa site.
In Central Administration /pwa appears in the Site Collection List
The site also appears in the WSS_Content database with all its Webs

The sharepoint site is at http://localhost/

Accessing http://localhost/pwa gives HTTP 404 error

pwa does not appear in Sites and Workspaces for http://localhost/
If I try to create it here, I get an additional line in the WSS_Content
database

Can anyone assist me to recover the functionality of my pwa site?

Regards,
Ian Lowe

give "authenticated users" reader permissions to the http://localhost site
(via sharepoint).

Let me know if this works.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your reply. No, this did not help.

In Sharepoint Central Administration Site Collections I can see
/
/pwa
/serviceagreements

In the WSS_Content database, I can see these 3 sites in the Sites table
In the Webs table, I can see these 3 sites and others (most are subsites to
/pwa)

I can access http://myservername/ and http://myservername/serviceagreements/
but not http://myservername/pwa/

It seems that a hotfix or something similar has effectively disconnected the
Project Server site from Sharepoint.

If I go to http://myservername/ and try to create a new site, the template
for Microsoft Office Project Server is there but if I create a site using
/pwa, it allows me to create this site but puts a new pwa entry in the
WSS_Content database while leaving the original pwa entry and all its
sub-site entries.

I am trying to restore the original pwa web site.

Hi,
I noticed that Sharepoint Spy indicates that the SiteId ... was not found in
the ProjectSiteCollection for this SSP.

In the myservername\OFFICESERVERS database, there are two SharedServices1_DB
databases with different identifiers. I now suspect that this may be where
the problem occurs.

I thought I would just create a new SSP and assign it to the other SSP
database but it does not allow me to do this since the database with the name
I provided is not empty.
