That's weird, I remember I had similar issue when trying to use a subsite only definition to create root site but can't remember the details. I might try to dig up something when got more time (currently working at client site without "Internet" access L and not much time left after work)

Still don't know why because I'd activated any dependencies via other features. I believe the problem lies in the fact that these dependencies need to be activated at site creation. The custom defs are based on basic publishing and team site templates. They're not copies, the use the OOTB site defs through provisioning. Both these templates can be used to create root sites. I'm going to look at activating the other dependent features during site creation and see if that does the trick.

Did you used any OOTB site def to create the custom site def? eg. Making copy of OOTB site def to make changes then saved as custom site def. Some OOTB site def can only be used as sub site due to feature dependency thingy (correct me if I'm wrong). Posting the custom site def/template might help to pinpoint the possible cause.

It's the only change I'd made so I'm hoping this was the cause.

Something's totally screwed up. I can't even create the pages library. The site is not valid. The 'Pages' document library is missing.

Just created a new SC via CA and received the following error: Cannot change permissions of root web: http://... I used my custom site def provisioner. The stapled features weren't enabled and the groups didn't get created. Looks like there may have been a reason these site defs were set to use SubWebOnly?
