Question:

Where is the file WEBTEMPAXSITEDEF.XML and directory AXSITEDEF located.  I do not see them anywhere on my machine.  The \wpcatalog directory does exist in my sharepoint app directory

Did that, see the template but when I hit ok t create collection I get, 'Failed to instantiate file "default.master" from module "DefaultMasterPage": Source path "default.master" not found.

I have tried the following:

*********************************************

stsadm.exe -o execadmsvcjobs - did not work

*********************************************

1) Copy EVERYTHING from the templates download etc. into your

c:\Progr~1\Common\MS Shared\Webserver extns\12\BIN folder

2) Open a command window at this location

3) stsadm –o addsolution –filename ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp

4) STSADM.EXE -o deploysolution -local -name ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp -allowgacdeployment

5) stsadm -o copyappbincontent

6) stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs

7) iisreset

8) now repeat for all the other WSP files. I did these all at once and ran the execadmsvcjobs/iisreset at the end.

9) Go to your WSS Central Admin site (http://site:17785 and then Operations>Solutions management and all WSP should show as deployed.

The issue with this is I do not have and wsp files.  Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help

Rube Goldberg would be so pleased with Micrsooft SharePoint.

I have followed the information mentioned above. I have a tab Custom now but when I create the Enterprise Portal I receive the error "File not found". Anybody an idea on how to solve this?

Same happens "file not found" above.

I am not have a bin folder and wpcatalog folder in c:\inetpub\wwwroot path after installed the WSS 2.0.Plz help me

Thanks.

For those ppl with problem of "file not found" problem, try copy the content of  

ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\AXSITEDEF  

to

%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\1033\AXSITEDEF

I did this, but still "File Not Found" :(

Has anyone solved the "File Not Found" problem?

Is there a way to find out what file is not found during Site creation process?

You can change your Web.Config for your site to show debug information (file: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\Web.Config).

Locate the following tags in the file and change:

from: <SafeMode .... CallStack="false".. to: CallStack="true"

from: <customErrors mode="On" /> to: mode="Off" />

from: <compilation ... debug=false"> to: debug="true"

Im my case the "file not found" had something to do with MOSS and I was running WSS.

Hi,

I am having the same problem, strangely I installed the EP and got the tempaltes, then had a problem so removed the EP (in DAX client) then tried re-installing and cant find them anywhere?

Ive tried everything above but just cant find the site definition templates...?

Ive got all the webpart files, but no templates... anyone with any ideas yet?

Hi, I'm having problems in that when I run the setup to install EP/Role Centres I get this warning in the setup log which seems to only happen if the system I'm installing on has our company specific license and en-gb as the locale:

Entering function CurrentUserAlias

Leaving function CurrentUserAlias

I have tried all suggested above to no avail, it happens any time I try and install a non-default Enterprise Portal/Role Centres now and I have tried all sorts to get round it. Can you shed any light as it's driving me round the bend!

WEBTEMPAXSITEDEF.XML  doesn't exist on my machine after pressing 'update' on the manage deployments form. The axsitedef folder has very little in.

Thanks in advance.

i am having the same sort of issues does anyone have te WSP files to use to install the templates etc?

I am having the another problem : I am geting a few web application with custom Tab and a few are missing custom Tab in MOSS 2007.

There is no message or error report.

For "file not found" this worked for me:
