"There has been an error creating the personal site." on trying to open MySite
"There has been an error creating the personal site." on trying to open MySite
- Hello,
I set up SSP successfully but I got the following error when I open the My Site link on the right-top corner.
There has been an error creating the personal site. Contact your site administrator for more information.
Does anyone know this? Thanks a lot.
Here is the details in the system event:
My Site creation failure for user 'QASNT\xfwang' for site url 'http://q-moss01.qasnt.com:60011/personal/xfwang'. The exception was: Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.PersonalSiteCreateException: A failure was encountered while attempting to create the site. ---> System.ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range.

- Hi, MikeThanks for your post. It's very useful. It indeed results from the account servicing for the Applicaton Pool of MySite.It fails againt even though I add the account to the 'Farm Administrators' group or the local 'Administrators' group of the Web Server.At last it works when I take the MOSS config account for the Application Pool.In my case, I put the SSP and MySite in the same IIS site. I think that the SSP requires much more permissions.It's a big challenge for us to do the troubleshooting. Hope that the SharePoint team gives more senseful messages about this kind of error in future version.
