MORE INFORMATION
Gather Information
To start to troubleshoot issues with SharePoint Team Services, questions must be answered to help understand how SharePoint Team Services was installed.
- How did you install SharePoint Team Services:
- Did you run the STSwiz.exe file from the Project Server CD?
- Did you run SetupSE.EXE /ND or SetupSE.EXE /
existing site
from the Microsoft Office CD?
- How do you connect to SharePoint Team Services?
- Do you connect by using the local Intranet?
- Do you connect by using the Extranet?
Next, you must review various items that can cause issues during the SharePoint Team Services installation or when you try to a make connection from Microsoft Project Web Access.
- Are you installing SharePoint Team Services to a custom site or to Default Web?
- Are Host Headers being used?
- Are Static Internet Protocol (IP) addresses being used?
STSwiz.exe does not recognize sites with Host Headers, or Static IP addresses.
- What account was used to run STSWiz.exe? The user account must have DBO permissions in Microsoft SQL Server.
- Is Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server already installed on the system? You cannot install SharePoint Portal Server and SharePoint Team Services on the same computer.
- Can SharePoint Team Services Connect to Project Server?
- Do you have the site data that was provided on the confirmation screen that you received after you completed STSWiz.exe?
- What Windows account did you use to run Pscomplus?
- In SQL Server, are permissions for the Microsoft Windows account correctly set for DB_DataReader on the SharePoint database?
- What command-line syntax did you use to run Proxycfg.exe? You must run this command even if there is no proxy on your network.
- Other items that can cause issues when you install SharePoint Team Services:
- Is Antivirus software installed and started on the SharePoint Team Services computer?
- What version of Microsoft Internet Explorer is installed on the server? Internet Explorer 5.01 is required. However, Microsoft recommends Internet Explorer version 5.5 or later.
- Are you trying to access SharePoint Team Services over the Internet? If you are, see the Microsoft Project Server and the Internet white paper. To do so, visit the Microsoft Web site:
- What permissions are configured on the SharePoint Web site? What permissions are configured on the Microsoft SharePoint Administration Web site? Make sure that Integrated Windows authentication is selected. In Microsoft SQL Server 2000, verify the authentication type. To do so, follow these steps:
- Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then click SQL Enterprise Manager.
- Expand Microsoft SQL Servers, and then expand SQL Server Groups.
- Right-click your SQL server, and then click Properties.
- Click the Security tab.
- Make sure SQL Server and Windows is selected under Authentication.
- Click OK.
Troubleshoot Connectivity to Project Server
To troubleshoot general connection issues to Project Server, follow these steps:
- Use the Microsoft Project Server COM+ Settings tool (Pscomplus.exe) with a domain\admin account to test the connection. PSComplus.exe is located in the
drive
:\Program Files\Microsoft Project Server\Bin\1033 folder, wheredrive
is the drive where Windows is installed. - Run Pscomplus.exe again using an account (or accounts) that were created to access the target technologies.
- Run the Proxy Configuration utility (Proxycfg). Use the following command line:
proxycfg -d -p “proxyserver” “<local>;ServerName;IPAddress;FQDN”
- Install Internet Explorer 6 or install the Q331971 fix for Project Server.

Troubleshoot Project Server Subwebs
To help troubleshoot issues with subwebs, follow these steps:
- Verify that the connection is not broken. To do so, follow these steps:
- Log on as Administrator to Project Web Access (PWA).
- Click the Admin page, and then click Manage SharePoint Team Services.
- On the Modify Server page, click Save Changes. Project Server will then try to validate the connection to the server that is running SharePoint Team Services.
Troubleshoot Issues with Browsing or Prompting for the Documents and Issues Feature
To troubleshoot issues with browsing, follow these steps:
- Select to browse in Microsoft Internet Information Services Manager (IIS) from the Administrative site. This will determine if the subweb is working.
- Do you receive an error message when you are browsing?
- Can you connect to the SharePoint Team Services Subweb HomeSite?
- For Internet issues, verify if you can click Documents and Issues over the Intranet.
- When you click individual documents or issues, do you receive an error message?
- If you receive an error message, verify that the permissions to the Web site are set to Integrated Windows Authentication.
- You may want to test and enable Anonymous Access to see if you can bypass that challenge.
