SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • As the administrator, you move the personal site provider to a different site collection. For example, you change the path of Personal Site Services from http://ServerName:4000/ to http://ServerName:80.
  • The site collection to which you moved the personal site provider already has a site template applied to it.
  • A user connects to a My Site personal site that the user created in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
In this scenario, the user receives the following error message when he or she clicks the My Profile tab:
Result: 404 File Not Found.
http://ServerName/Person.aspx?AccountName=Domain\AccountName
