The Website does not exists or is not configured for Project Server

Today I came across a very annoying problem in Project Server 2010.
I have had many problems creating workspaces because the workspace template was corrupt and I could not create a new template before I had a site to create it from.

Therefore, instead of creating it through the project creation process I decided to create one through SharePoint->Sites and Workspaces.


After the site was created, I copied the URL and I tried to connect it to a project through Server Settings->Project Sites.


Edit Site Adress


Now I enter the URL I copied from the site just created and click Test URL. The page loads and everything seems fine. However, after clicking OK the following error comes up.

"The Web site does not exists or is not configured for Project Server. Enter a Web site that has been extended with a Project Server compatible template".


Now the first thing I start to investigate is what is wrong with the site. Am I missing a feature/webpart or…
After some retrying, I find that the site is actually fine. It is Project Server that doesn't understand the URL.
The URL must not contain any HTML escape characters or any leading or trailing slashes.
Invalid formats
 - /PWA/Test%20Template%20Site/
 - PWA/Test%20Template%20Site
 - /PWA/Test Template Site/
Valid format
 - PWA/Test Template Site


Language specific characters must also be written in the Unicode format (Danish æ,ø,å).

Project online sync to Outlook

Project online sync to Outlook Ever since the "Sync to Outlook" button have been disabled I have looked for other ways to do this. The other day I found a way for a project manager to do this - it requires a little bit of configuration though. In the following we will create a calendar for one project and have the team members connect to that project. SharePoint calendar On your project site create a new calendar. Give it the same name as your project. Flow -> As a project manager go to Flow and create a new blank flow: https://emea.flow.microsoft.com/  Insert a new trigger of the type "When a new task is created". Type in your PWA URL. Insert a new condition and configure it match your project name. If the condition is not met let the flow exit without any further steps. If the condition is met configure the flow to create a new SharePoint list item and chose your calendar as the list. Set the start, end and title t...
