No Project web app instances found In Project Server 2016
After creating the PWA 2016 Site Collection, I tried to browse the PWA Instance, but I got the below error:
No Project web app instances found. Create at least one PWA instance before accessing this page
Cause
The “No Project web app instances found. Create at least one PWA instance before accessing this page” issue occurs because of the PWA Site Feature is not enabled for the newly created PWA 2016 Site Collection.
Solution
To solve “No Project web app instances found” error, you should enable PWA Site feature for Project Web Instance by doing the following:
Enable PWA Site Feature in Project Server 2016
Steps
- Open SharePoint 2016 Management Studio as Administrator.
- Enable ‘pwasite‘ feature on the newly created PWA site collection.
Enable-SPFeature pwasite -URL http://PWAURL
Make sure that the PWA site collection has a Project Template “pwa#0″ before enabling the PWA feature. Read more at Failed to find Project Site object. Are there any database mounted?
- Go back to browse the PWA 2016 Instance that should be now working properly.
If you still getting “No Project web app instances found Create at least one PWA instance before accessing this page“, that means the PWA instance is not configured properly. In this case, it’s strongly recommended to check this guide to Install and Configure Project Server 2016 step by step to create a PWA 2016 instance in a proper way.
