Resolve Issues With My Site In SharePoint Server 2016

Once we configure My Site in SharePoint, clicking on 'About Me' will take you to your personal site. Here you can see the personal information of the user.


However when I clicked on About Me, it took me to the My Site page but I was getting an error in the My Site Page.

“We are sorry something went wrong with the My Site setup”


After some search I found out that there is no root site collection in the web application. I went to the View all site collections page.


In the site collection list there is only the ‘My Site’ site collection.


So I created a dummy site collection in the web application.


This will create a dummy site collection as the root.


Now going back to the My Site page all the errors have been resolved.


Summary

Thus we saw how to resolve the errors in the My Site page of SharePoint Server 2016.
