In sharepoint site when you click on mysite some times gives the "There has been an error creating the personal site. Contact your site administrator for more information"
Solution:
Following steps outline how to configure your existing web app 'http://mywebapp' to host ‘My Sites’ to be stored in a separate database
- Go to “Application Management” and select “Content Databases” under “SharePoint Web Application Management”
- Select the ‘http://mywebapp’ web application. And select “Add Content Database”
- Create a new DB and name it: "MySites_Content"
- Once this DB is created select the existing database named: MyWebApp_Content.
- In the “Manage Content Database Settings” for 'MyWebApp_Content’ select Database status to “Offline”
This will ensure that no new site collections are created in the default content database 'MyWebApp_Content'. Taking this content database offline only prevents new site collections from being created. Users are still able to create sub sites and items and use the existing sites
- Go to Application Management and select “Define Managed Paths” under “SharePoint Web Application Management”
- Select the 'http://mywebapp' web application and create a new path named ‘mysite’ and select “Explicit inclusion”
- Create a another managed path named ‘personal’ and make it a “Wildcard inclusion”
- Go to “Application Management” and select “Create Site Collection”
- Ensure that the path selected is 'http://mywebapp/mysite' **(Important)**
- Name it ‘My site host’ and select the “My Site” template from the templates list from the “Enterprise” tab
- Go back to Central Administration and select the Shared Services Provider configuration
- Select “My Site Settings” and Set "Personal site provider" to "http://mywebapp/mysite/" and "Location" to "personal"
- Go back to Central Administration and enable “Self Service Site Creation” for the web application ‘http://mywebapp’
