I'm trying to connect to TeamPlain Web Access for Team System and I'm getting the following error:

Server Error in '/' Application.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I get the login screen and when I type my username and password it returns that... I've searched a lot but haven't been able to find the solution, any ideas?

Thanks.

When I try http://192.168.1.145:8080/services/v1.0/serverstatus.asmx

I'm gettgin:

TF10216: Team Foundation services are currently unavailable. Try again later. If the problem persists, contact your Team Foundation Server administrator.TF10216: Team Foundation services are currently unavailable. Try again later.

Ok I went into Application pools in IIS and verified that the TFS services had the right passwords but I think there might be something wrong on my settings
The identities I have are
TFS AppPool -> TFSSERVICE
TFSWSS -> TFSSERVICE
TFSWSSADMIN -> TFSSERVICE
TswaPool1 -> Network Service

Should any of them be something else?

After changing the passwords now I'm getting here http://192.168.1.145:8080/services/v1.0/serverstatus.asmx
The following:
ServerStatus

Team Foundation Server Status web service

The following operations are supported. For a formal definition, please review the Service Description.

    * CheckAuthentication

    * GetServerStatus

    * GetSupportedContractVersion

So I guess those were wrong. (And AppPool was set to Network Service).

I was able to create a team project on Visual Studio so I guess it's working and I'm able to open the project's website if I go here: http://david-win2k3srv/sites/Test%20Project/default.aspx, but I get service unavailable every 2 minutes...there might be something I'm doing wrong.

The server is on a virtual pc. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
