For anyone still getting the "No SharePoint Site exists" error when trying to select a site URL. You may have to add the hostname you are using to the Central Admin Alternate Access Mappings. That is what worked for me.

Hi,

I am following your instruction to create a simple SD. The generate created the SD with no error. But when I use the SD to create a site, I got "Error: cannot import web part" error for all the webparts. And I also noticed that in the ONET file, all the web parts are point to ErrorWebPart. Do you have any idea?

Thanks

How can you see the propieties tab when you say "The project has a SharePoint Specific properties tab with a tree view on all features and the site definition in this project." ???? It's no Visual Studio and I need to change some properties

Good.. 2 considerations.

1.- considere language.... and versions. I tried in 2 machine with the same configurations no error...

2.- when you instaled in a machine a component vg. U2U and try deploy in another machine if you don't installed the component you have an error.

thank

Hi Serge,

Thanks for your reply. I got the solution. In the SiteProvisioning.cs file i added code for creating sites under sitecollection. That works fine.

Regards,

Siva

Hi Siva,

With the Solution Generator you can create a site definition from a single site, not from a collection of sites. So sub-sites will not be part of the generated solution.

Serge
