SharePoint 2013 Project - Adding New Project Site errors

Question

I am trying to create a new Project Site. I have followed below steps:

Step 1: Create a Host Site Named Collection on url

New-SPSite "<Site collection url>" -HostHeaderWebApplication "<Web Application Name>" -Name "<Enter Name>" -Description "<Enter Description>" -OwnerAlias "domain\username" -language 1033 -Template "PWA#0"

Step 2: Create a Project Web App database

New-SPProjectDatabase –Name ProjectServer -ServiceApplication "Project Server Service" -DatabaseServer ServerName -Tag "PS2013"

Step 3: Enable the Project Web App site collection features

$web=Get-SPWeb siteurl
$web.Properties[“PWA_TAG”]=”PS2013″
$web.Properties.Update()
Enable-SPFeature pwasite -URL siteurl

Now everything worked fine in our Test environment, which is a complete replica of our Production environment. BUT when I try this in our Production environment I get an error in Step 3 line 2. Error is:

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

For anyone having same or similar issue: I fixed it as noticed that I set the OwnerAlias to one value but was executing the Powershell script with another user (which did not have access to the newly created site collection). Once I executed Powershell with the user I set as the Site Owner, everything worked fine.
