Answer this question

cannot create a new team project

  • modestob

    Daniel, I feel your pain. Looks like microsoft would have some documentation on how to proceed with TFS after installation.

  • cfoks

    http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/teamsystem/

    Im sorry.. its not directly an answer. I was looking into this page to have an idea about foundation. I think it can be helpful.


    good works


  • Colin Desmond

    Hi all,

    I can (finally!!!) create a new team projet. Follow EVERY step in the instructions that are in the file dv_VSETInstall.chm. This file is in the root directory of Team Foundation Server Beta 2 cd (or iso file). Also, don't install the SP1 of Windows 2003. I don't really know what the SP1 modifies in Windows, but it plays with the security!!

  • scheppsr77

    Justin,

    To get single-server installation to work, you have to follow the order in the instructions to the letter.  Changing the order of the components will result in it not working (you have to get the SQL 2k5 and SharePoint ordering correct, or it's broken).  You must also split Team Foundation and SharePoint into separate app pools because they require separate .NET framework versions.

    For example, see this topic.

    Hi,

    I also have a problem to create a new team project. I'm able to create and access a WSS site from the account i'm running. Also, I have access to my team foundation server via the Visual Studio client. Help me!

    Thank you for your reply. I found this blog and re-installed all correct order.(again and again!)

    Hi there, I have the same problem as you did -

    I was following the single machine deployment

    I installed W2k3 Server enterprise, then setup AD, then SQL 2k5, then sharepoint (stsv2 with sp1 bundled) but when I accessed the sharepoint homepage I got the same security exception.

    I looked into this and found that SQL2k5 had configured the default website to ASP.NET v2 which broke sharepoint. VSTS didn't work of cause... and changing the ASP.NET config to v1.1 didn't work either because I assume some of the configuration would have been damaged.

    I figured I would check that sharepoint installed ok first, so I nuked my box and tried the same install but sharepoint before SQL2k5. Sharepoint now works because it's using .NET framework v1.1 and the rest of the install completed ok - but when I go to add a site in team system I get the following exception:

    .

    Now if I change the ASP.NET config for the default website to use v2 - sharepoint home site is broken (same as before, something to do with the webparts and v2 framework) but the Microsoft.Pcw.wss plugin initialization works and it completes this step and the site creation process starts - only problem is it breaks further on in the process:

    Can you try and make sure if you can create a WSS site through the portal using the account you are running to create the new project

    so now Im using visual source safe

    Yes but I want to use Team project!! Someone has an answer to my question asked just up there


  • Gagan Gupta

    Thanks Buck - I'm quite sure I did follow it to the letter because I had a fun time installing the first Beta refresh release a while back!

    At the beginning of my post, I said I installed SQL2k5 and then SharePoint, setting up the app pools correctly etc. This was as per instructions but it broke SharePoint - this was my point. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience.

    Team Foundation and Sharepoint run as seperate Web Site's in IIS and VSTSWeb is installed its own app pool "VSTF AppPool" as default without having to configure anything.

    Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Has anyone else had a similar experience to me and suggestion to fix it
