Trying to create a Site Collection using PS but keep getting error

Question

I am trying to create a site collection using powershell script but keep getting error even though I already created Managed Path I am referencing in cmdlet,

PS C:\Users\svc_spadmin> New-SPManagedPath "Teams" -WebApplication "http://share
point2010/"

Name                           Type
----                           ----
teams                          WildcardInclusion


PS C:\Users\svc_spadmin> New-SPSite -URL "http://sharepoint2010/teams" -ownerAli
as "sp\svc_spadmin" -Template "STS#0"

New-SPSite : A site collection could not be created as the provided managed pat h does not exist. Change the URL to use an existing managed path or create the missing managed path prior to calling this command. At line:1 char:11 + New-SPSite <<<< -URL "http://sharepoint2010/Teams" -ownerAlias "sp\svc_spadm in" -Template "STS#0" + CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Share...SPCmdletNewSite: SPCmdletNewSite) [New-SPSite], SPCmdletException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPCmdletNewSite

Edit

PS C:\Users\svc_spadmin> New-SpManagedPath -RelativeURL "MPOne" -WebApplication
"http://sharepoint2010/"

PS C:\Users\svc_spadmin> New-SPSite -URL "http://sharepoint2010/mpone/testsite"
-ownerAli "sp\svc_spadmin" -Template "STS#0"

Answer 1

You have created a managed path named teams, now you actually need to create a site collection under this managed path. So you should name the site collection url something like "http://sharepoint2010/teams/testsite.Follwoing should be the PS command:

New-SPSite -URL "http://sharepoint2010/teams/testsite" -ownerAli
as "sp\svc_spadmin" -Template "STS#0"

Moreover, the correct way of creating the managed path is

New-SPManagedPath –RelativeURL "Teams" -WebApplication "http://share
point2010/"

The above script will create wild card inclusion, If you want explicit inclusion just add
-Explicit
