You have to create the services and start them as well as the DB before you create the new site. Once you have all of those up and running then go into SharePoint and create the new site.

You need to turn on the service, create the service applications (both Access and State) and then create your new site template. The site template has to be created after everything else.

Once provisioned make sure to associate the “Access Service Application” with your web applications default proxy group.

CA -> Application Management -> Configure Service Application Associations.

Click the Application Proxy Group link for your web application.

check “Access Services”

Mark Vogt and Libiggy this problem is observed when you have multiple Access service applications set and you have already ran the above command a couple of times. The best way to could get this issue resolved is by deleting the additional access service application then detaching the content database of the web application that is hiosting the site, deleting the existing Web application and creating a new one and then reattaching the content database once again.

If this site is production site and is on port 80 then you can create the new web application on the same port number or have a host header if you already had one….

When I goto: Central Administration – Manage Service Applications – New –
There isn’t a Access Application Services listed.
I am sure I have Enterprise edition with the correct license entered.
I have checked to make sure enterprise features are turned on.
Although I only have the following services listed in my Central Administration/Manager Services:

Application Registry Service Started Stop
Business Data Connectivity Service Started Stop
Central Administration Started Stop
Claims to Windows Token Service Started Stop
Document Conversions Launcher Service Stopped Start
Document Conversions Load Balancer Service Stopped Start
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Incoming E-Mail Started Stop
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service Started Stop
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Subscription Settings Service Started Stop
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application Started Stop
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Workflow Timer Service Started Stop
PerformancePoint Service Started Stop
SharePoint Foundation Search Stopped Start
User Profile Service Started Stop
User Profile Synchronization Service Started Stop

Any ideas?

Hi Mark,
Hmmm…. I just followed your steps meticulously, and took screenshots to show each step was successfully executed.

However, now I have a bigger problem:
1. The Projects Web Database site template still does NOT work; and
2. I can NOT create ANY site ANYWHERE in my entire server farm.

Any suggestions on how best to back-out of this boondoggle?

Thanks

I get an error when creating a Projects web database. The top level menu appears but a Red X apperars with the words “An Error Has Occured. Click here to try again.” When I click there, nothing happens. Any ideas?
