OK. Some progress has been made. I resolved the DNS issue and the My Site link 
is now working correctly and creating the My Site.

But wo issues remain and perplex me:

-      I didn't create a My Site Host collection for the desginated web app, so 
how the heck is it managing to create My Sites??

-      The "Set as default My Site" link does nothing and remains after 
clicking. This would explain our lack of Desktop integration with membership 
sites and also why the membership links aren't updating.

Subject: Rebuild SPP and My Sites path

I know I'm missing something obvious here but really need some help.

For reasons left unsaid I needed to rebuild our dev farm's SSP and create a new 
web app for My Sites.

I did both and then associated all web apps with the new SSP and deleted the 
old one (included DBs).

I've also performed the following:


*         Added the webapp URL and location (personal) to the My Site Settings 
page in the SSP

*         Checked to see that the content DB was created and associated 
correctly.

All good.

So now I browse to my primary site and hover over the My Site link. The URL 
reflects my new web app. Great!

But when I follow the link I get a 404. :(

If I then explicitly type _layouts/MySite.aspx at the end of the primary site 
domain it creates the My Site! I notice there's also a managed path of 'mysite' 
with  Explicit inclusion for this web app.

How do I make it create them at the right location??

I think the step I missed was to provision a My Site Host (collection) for the 
new web app. I didn't do this when creating the web app and I can't see how to 
do it now. I only get a managed path option of /personal or /site for this web 
app.
