What is the problem? There is neither error nor warning.

Answer 1

Solved! The cause was a bad version of MSSQL. I reinstalled "Microsoft SQL Sever 2008 RT", and there was not any problem.

Answer 2

Try the following:

1. Stop & Start Project Application service (Ensure the Project service started too)
2. Ensure that the PWA web site has Service Application associations with Project server service application
3. If possible delete Project Server Service Application, create new one with appropriate permission
4. 'LINEAR\sp2010rtm' - Add this account to local administrators group and check the status.
