Article ID: 924399

Article Last Modified on 5/14/2007



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
  • Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0



SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:

  • As the administrator, you move the personal site provider to a different site collection. For example, you change the path of Personal Site Services from http://ServerName:4000/ to http://ServerName:80.
  • The site collection to which you moved the personal site provider already has a site template applied to it.
  • A user connects to a My Site personal site that the user created in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

In this scenario, the user receives the following error message when he or she clicks the My Profile tab:

Result: 404 File Not Found.
http://ServerName/Person.aspx?AccountName=Domain\AccountName

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the My Site Host site template is not applied to the site collection that hosts the personal site provider.

    1. On the Application Management page, click Create site collection under SharePoint Site Management.
    2. In the Web Application box, click the Web application that you want to configure.
    3. On the Create Site Collection page, specify a title and a description for the site collection in the Title and Description area.
    4. In the Web Site Address area, specify the URL of the included path that you added in step 1.

    6. In the Quote Template area, specify the template that you want to use.
    7. In the Template Selection area, click My Site Host in the Select a template box, and then click OK.
