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 Server - Change field name on PDP for standard fields (like the Owner field)

Project Server - Change owner field name on PDP The field names on the PDPs (Project Detail Pages) has been preselected on the standard fields for a project. If you want to change the Owner to something else it is quite difficult. In the following i will explain how we can change this field through the Content Editor webpart. To change the owner field add a Content Editor webpart to the PDP page where the field is inserted. Select the webpart and from the ribbon select HTML->Edit HTML Source. Copy/Paste the following code into the Content Editor webpart. < script type ="text/javascript">     var old_name = "Owner" ;     var new_name = "Ansvarlig" ;     var ttnA = document.getElementsByTagName( "div" );     for ( var j = 0; j < ttnA.length; j++) {         var orig = ttnA[j].innerHTML;         var stripped = orig.replace( /^\s*/ , "" ).replace( /\s*$/ , &quo

PowerShell results size unlimited/truncated - $FormatEnumerationLimit/Width

Ever experienced the problem where you run a Powershell command and you cannot see the whole result because the result is truncated. Problem: If you for example run the Test-SPsite command you might see something like the following: Site : SPSite Url=http://atlas/pwa Results : { SPSiteHealthResult Status=Passed RuleName="Conflicting Content Types" RuleId=befe203b-a8c0-48c2-b5f0-27c10f9e1622, SPSiteHealthResult Status=FailedWarning RuleName="Customized Files" RuleId=cd839b0d-9707-4950-8fac-f306cb920f6c, SPSiteHealthResult Status=Passed RuleName="Missing Galleries" RuleId=ee967197-ccbe-4c00-88e4-e6fab81145e1, SPSiteHealthResult Status=Passed RuleName="Missing Parent Content Types" RuleId=a9a6769f-7289-4b9f-ae7f-5db4b997d284, SPSiteHealthResult Status=FailedError RuleName="Missing Site Templates" RuleId=5258ccf5-e7d6-4df7-b8ae-12fcc0513ebd,
