I’ve put together a screencast that demonstrates how to configure a web application so that it can host MOSS MySites.
The basic steps are:
- Create the web application
- Create a site collection to be hosted in the newly created web application, make sure this is based on the ‘My Site Host Template’
- Create a managed path for the MySites
- Change the MySite settings in the SSP central admin to reflect the URL and managed path that was setup in the previous steps
- Enable self service site creation so that new MySites are created when the user clicks on the My Site link
