Is there any way to setup the My Site Host on a hosted-name site in Sharepoint 2013? I am able to create a My Shit Host site using New-SPSite, but when I try to enable Self Service Site create on the web application I get "Cannot enable site creation because there is no site collection at "/" on the Web application."
To make it clear...I'm trying to only use hosted-name sites so after installing SP 2013 I ran the following:
New-SPWebApplication -Name 'X Sites' -hostHeader 'webapp.xxx.com' -port 80 -ApplicationPool XXXAppPool -ApplicationPoolAccount (Get-SPManagedAccount 'corp\john') -AuthenticationProvider (New-SPAuthenticationProvider -UseWindowsIntegratedAuthentication)
Then made several site collections with:
New-SPSite 'http://NewSiteCollection.xxx.com' -HostHeaderWebApplication 'http://webapp.xxx.com' -Name 'A New Site' -Description 'My Site' -OwnerAlias 'corp\john' -language 1033 -Template 'STS#0'
