Had a
situation the other day where MySites went down - users were only getting 404s.
IE -
unchecked show friendly http messages and this was the error:
HTTP/1.1
200 OK Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5 Error -
I then
discovered that the MySite host site collection was missing - no longer listed
in view all site collections where it should have been listed as
mysite.domain.com/
Googling
has revealed to me that you get this error message when the root site
collection is missing from the Web App
First
step: detached and reattached the mysite content db from the farm - required to
clear any entries in the Config DB
Second
step: recreated the MySite on the root
And all
is well again
The
reason the MySite host got deleted was because I setup auto site deletion
policy on the MySite web app - all good governance but the problem was that the
MySite host site collection site admins were a couple of service accounts with
no email addresses - hence instead of 28 days of warning emails - BAM! - the
site just got vapourized
Lesson -
make sure you can access your MySite host
