    Hello,

    I installed Project Server 2010 on our Sharepoint 2010 server and we are running into an issue with it creating the PWA site.  In the application event viewer, we are seeing the following errors:

    Failed to provision site pwa with error: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: The template you have chosen is invalid or cannot be found. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x81071E44): <nativehr>0x81071e44</nativehr><nativestack></nativestack>The template you have chosen is invalid or cannot be found.

    I have tried going into the "Project Server Service Application" and I clicked "Retry", but it still won't create the PWA site.  Any ideas are greatly appreciated since there is not much information on this error since both products are still in beta form.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Redoplh,

    Make sure that the SharePoint services account has rights to create a database on the SQL Server.  I usually use an account called FarmAdmin, for creating and managing the sharepoint site collections. Check the installation notes, but I believe the account needs server roles  dbcreator and sysadmin.

    I'm curious as to what your installation steps were. Have you tried running SharePoint Technologies configuration wizard? Does that resolve the issue?

    Redolphn:

    We haven't heard back from you, so I'm assuming that you got past this problem, so I am marking the thread as answered. Please re-open it if you wish to continue the discussion.
