Database error when creating a web app instance

I'm trying to setup Project 2013 on SharePoint 2013 and am at the point where you create a Project web app instance. I'm on step 3 on this page.
http://alinimer.com/2013/02/28/install-configure-and-deploy-project-server-2013-part-4/
I'm getting an error saying "Provisioning Failed - see the Application event Log." In the event log it says
Failed to provision site PWA with error: Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Administration.ProvisionException: Failed to provision database.
Database provisioning failed. The database ProjectWebApp contains a non project schema and cannot be used. ---> Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Administration.ProvisionException: Database provisioning failed. The database ProjectWebApp contains a
non project schema and cannot be used.

   at Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Administration.PsiServiceApplication.CreateSite(ProjectProvisionSettings provset)
I'm new to Project Server and fairly new to SharePoint so is this something that's easy to fix? The database was created new for Project.

Looking at the code, it flags this if the database specified is not empty. Can you validate that the database is either new or does not have any tables, views, sprocs, etc?

Create Project Web App Instance - Failed to find Project Site object. Are there any database mounted?

Hi
New Installation. Sharepoint 2013, Project Server 2013 and SQL Server 2008 SP1 (another box).
When I try to create Project Web App Instance, I get
Provisioning 'PWA': Post provisioning setup failed. Exception 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Failed to find Project Site object. Are there any database mounted?
Followed by:
Failed to provision site PWA with error: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Failed to find Project Site object. Are there any database mounted?
Already tried reinstalling the whole farm to no avail. Farm Admin account is used to do everything within this process.
Thanks in anticipation.

Security Error when creating a web service with Flex

Hello comminuty.
I'm using Flex to create a standalone application and I have to use web services to retrieve data from SAP.
I used the bapi bapi_flight_getlist to create an associated WS that works fine (tested with the Eclipse's WS Explorer).
In Flex Builder, I use the following code to create my web service:
     <mx:WebService
          showBusyCursor="true"
          id="service"
          wsdl="{wsdl}"
          result="resultCreateWSHandler(event);"
          fault="faultCreateWSHandler(event);">
            <mx:operation name="FlightGetList"
                 result="resultWSHandler(event)"
                 fault="faultWSHandler(event)"></mx:operation>
        </mx:WebService>
And this is the error I'm getting:

Javascript error when creating a new OC4J instance?

Hi
Im trying to deploy the documentum portlet, and a requirement was to install Ant, Java SDK....and i did
after that...on my Application server machine (the portal), when i login to the enterprise manager to start a new OC4j instance, my browser shows a script error in the status bar in IE 6.0.
it says: Object expected, ....and whenever i click "Create OC4j instance" the page is scrolled up to the top part of the page. so there is some kind of javascript error. how can i fix this? its stopping me from my development process.
Your help is appreciated. thanks
Faisal[b]

On Windows this is caused most often by the temporary directory setting.
Change the temporary directory to some fixed directory writable by anybody, e.g. "C:\temp".
Change this in:
Registry entry: hkey_local_machine\software\oracle\key_<oashome>\REPORTS_TMP
<oashome>\opmn\conf\opmn.xml: search for environment variable TEMP (under ias-instance)
Good luck!

Deploytool errors when creating a Web Component (.war)

Ok, I've got some serious issues with the deploytool in the latest version of J2EE (Sun Java Application Server 8).
I can create a .war file with the servlets, JSPs etc that I wish to have. But when I try to add a Resource ref. and save the changes, I get a SAXParseException and the war-file becomes corrupted (actually it is the web.xml i the war-file that becomes empty).
Is this a known bug and are there any workarounds?

Hi,
I tried to reproduce your problem but was unable to get the error you described. I created a war file, and added a resource ref -- no error and the web.xml looked accurate. Can you provide a sample war file that exhibits this problem? If you can, I will look into the problem and perhaps provide a solution for you.
You can send a sample war file to:

Error when starting IPlanet Web Server instance

We are currently using ServletExec 3.0c with IPlanet WebServer, but we have decided to utilise the servlet engine of IPlanet WebServer without much success. We have changed the setting in WebServer Admin to allow Servlets/JSPs to be dealt with by IPlanet, but when we attempt to start the instance we get the following error:
[https-AM]: start failed. (2: unknown early startup error)
[https-AM]: /opt/netscape4/https-AM/start: !/bin/sh: not found
[https-AM]: warning: daemon is running as super-user
[https-AM]: conf_init: Error running init function load-modules: dlopen of /opt/netscape4/bin/https/lib/libNSServletPlugin.so failed (ld.so.1: ns-httpd: fatal: libNSServletLayer.so: open failed: No such file or directory)
[https-AM]: server exit: status 1
The only information we found regarding this error was to add the path of libjvm.so to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. We did this, but it didn't make any difference.
Thanks in advance
Vince

I got this same error and it turned out to be because one of the developers had changed the line AS_JAVA="/usr/jdk/entsys-j2se" in /opt/sun/appserver/config/asenv.conf
to point to a 1.4.2_10 jre. (/usr/jdk/entsys-j2se was a symlink to /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_04/)
I changed it to an installation of 1.4.2_09 sdk that we had previously installed on their and everything worked fine.
I don't know whether it was because it pointed to a jre as opposed to an sdk or whether the jre was incorrectly installed. (it's a much around box, so everyone's allowed to do pretty much whatever they want to it)
Hope this helps,
Adam

Error in Creating New Web Application SharePoint 2013

Everything was working fine but today when i try to create a new web application i am getting the following error.It's happening whenever i am trying to create a new web application.
The directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\26060 is already being used by another IIS Web Site. Choose a different root directory for your new Web application.
But this port 26060 was not being used before and if i try to create new web application again then the error message occurs with the port number of the new web application.
Please help.

Hi HelloFragrance,
Are you using a host header when creating these web apps? If so have you tried creating without a host header? Also are you logged in with the Server with the Admin account? Check this out: (taken from Jeremy Taylor's
blog)
" 1. Ensure you have a proper dns name / entry in the hosts file of your server for the new url you are wanting to create.
2. Ensure you have typed in the ‘host header’ typed in when creating the new web application.
3. If this doesnt work, open IIS Manager – Start>run> inetmgr> and verify the home directory – it could be located on a different drive."
Also have you tried creating through Powershell and see if you run into the same issue or not?

Creating multiple web apps in 443 port number

hi all,
would like to know the speciality of 443 port number.can we create multiple web applns on this ?
assume i have a web app running on 443 called
https://myportal.company.com [ intranet ] can i create a another web app on this same port, like
https://mysites.company.com [ its a mysite web appln ] and can we create an all different, Internet web appln on this same port ?
if yes, what are the steps to achieve this.
and curious to know why MSFT has designed like this.
help is appreciated!

Any Web App you create must be differentiated from other Web Apps in one of 3 ways. It can use a custom IP address, a custom port number or a host header. In your example you are already using the same port number and I assume you aren't using
different IP addresses since that requires a fair amount of behind the scenes work. So that would leave creating the two web apps with different host headers. The problem with this approach is that Apps in SharePoint require at least one web app
in the farm with NO host header. So if https://myportal.company.com was created using no host header then https://mysites.company.com must be created using a host header. Any additional Web apps using 443 will also need to be created with host
headers. Apps will then all run off the MyPortal web app. You can specify the host header for the web app when creating the web app. Everything else is normal.
To answer your question of why it is designed this way. This is the way IIS server works and really has nothing to do with SharePoint.
