That looks like it's missing quite a bit from being a complete onet.xml file. Is there any more? Presumably the error occurs when you are trying to create a site using this definition. Has it ever worked? – SHug Dec 7 '11 at 15:25
no..not working yet. i think issues in configuration of the Module in site defination. i have edit my question. plz give me guide. is this right? – jigs Dec 8 '11 at 4:56
Where is the error occurring? Is it rendered to the browser? Have you got any other errors in the SharePoint ULS or Application event logs? Is your new webtemp.xml file OK? (There doesn't look to be one specific reason for this error) – SHug Dec 8 '11 at 9:44
its solved my issues. i dont know how but when i have create new site definition with new project than its create as perfectly. – jigs Dec 8 '11 at 13:59
