TFS project portal not found

Question

Hi

This issue has been addressed in several discussions, but none of the previous solutions that I've found have resolved my issue:

We've had TFS 2008 installed for nearly a year (single server), with no real problems. Today, however, I noticed that I can no longer navigate to any project portal. I went into Sharepoint admin, to view the site collection, and all the sites are listed & everything looks normal. I ran the best practices analyzer & it only reported that disk space was low on C: (TFS/sharepoint installed on D:).

The links are valid in Team Explorer, but navigating to http://{internalServer}/sites/{projectName} gives everyone a 404 error.
HOWEVER, navigating to http://{interalServer}/sites/{projectName}/Project%20Management/Forms/AllItems.aspx and other specific site pages (that I've tested) works somewhat, but the pages are displayed with weird formatting, and not all page elements work correctly.

I also tried creating a new project - it created fine, and showed up both in Team Explorer and in the Sharepoint Site Collection List, but we can't navigate to it, either.

I'm guessing that something has happened in Sharepoint, but I'm at a loss to know where to even start troubleshooting it. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Other info - the IIS 6.0 server on this machine also has an internal host-header access-controlled web site, which has never caused in issues before. Also (and I think this may be the reason for the screw up) - This machine, until recently, had Trend Micro AntiVirus OfficeScan server installed on it - so it also used an IIS web site to administer it. This was added in June, and removed last week & I suspect somewhere it there it mucked up Sharepoint's delicate balance....

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Can you do a test to create a new site collection in Sharepoint instead of Team Explorer? Check if it is accessible.

If the 404 error happens again, this should be a Sharepoint server's issue. I suspect the formatting error is also because of 404 errors for css files.

I found a similar issue at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/319379/page-not-found-error-on-sharepoint-sites-in-tfs. Not sure if you have seen it before. Can you have a try of its resolution?

For sharepoint issue, it is better to post at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/category/sharepoint/.

Thanks.
