Project Server Error Event ID 6971 when upgrading from Project Server 2007 to 2010.

Question

Hi All, 
I get the following error when trying to import a project server site from PS 2007 to PS 2010.  The error occurs after the provisioning is completed.  The initial error with event id 7381 is:
"ProjectSite post provision setup completed with errors"
This error is followed by Event Id 6971 and the following error text.  I checked the site and I do see the sub sites under the main project server site, but the actual PWA site is not created and integrated with the project server components.  The
database upgrade of all the 4 Project Server databases went through ok.  I am not sure how to fix this problem.  Any help that you guys can provide is great appreciated.

Hi Anand,
 Thanks for the info.
Basic rule for DB attach method is, we should not change Project Web Application site collection name. E.g of old site was /PWA , when we move databases from one farm to another site should
be provisioned as /PWA.  Brian Smith's excellent blog article can help you to understand common issues
As per the error message posted earlier, looks like you are trying to provision PWA site as “Testsite”
Correct me if I am wrong

Verify that you are not using one of the reserved outline code or custom field
