I use the central administration to create a new site colletion and when I have entered all the required information and click OK it takes a while then I get a confirmation message that the new site collection has been created. I click on the link but when I go there the site collections is empty (no menues no pages no nothing) and I don't get an error message, it's just a blank page with no code.
What can I be doing wrong here? I know I set the site collection owner to my user.
Thanks in advance.
When you say, "I set the site collection owner to my user," is "my user" your login or another user who you are creating the site collection for?
If it is the latter, that could be your problem. By default, the home page of a Publishing Portal site collection is checked out. If you do not have permissions to view drafts, then it is possible that you could see a blank page because there is no published version of the page available. If this is the case, either add yourself to the site collection administrators group or have the other user publish the home page.

I created a publishing site in sharepoint online and provided unique permissions. Two users (one internal & other external) provided full permissions. Internal user can access site but external user can't access site. Can anyone please assist what is the problem ?
The problem is solved now. The problem was that there was limitation of external domains in site collection feature. If want to limit external sharing of site, follow below steps:
1- Got to https://portal.office.com and click on Admins.
2- Click on Sharepoint in Admin Centers.
3- Click "More features" in left side.
4- Click "Open" on "Classic site collection page" in right side.
5- Select the site collection of the site and click on Sharing.
6- Go to Site Collection additional settings and add gmail.com (if there is already domain added, put space between two domains).
7- Click save button.
Now access the site using external user account.
I am new to sharepoint and working on already configured project.
A new site collection is created for a each user in my site.
I.e : http://mysite is my web application URL.
For news and about us section all going good. But whenever i Click on tasks link.
It will go to a new URL which is seems to be a new site collection URL.
So newly created site collection doesn't inherit the master page.
Is there is a way to stop this ? means to stop a new site collection creation for each users?
Well, it is normal that new site collections are created for each user. It is used to store their Tasks list, their My Documents library, and other personal stuff.
If you want to prevent users from creating these site collections, you can deny them the right "Create Personal Site" in the User Profile Service (see this blog post for instance: http://www.toddklindt.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=222).
However you loose all related functionnality of course.
However these site collections should all use the same master page. So if your Sharepoint is not heavily customized, you can simple modify this masterpage.
If I create a forward link on a wiki page as one of the site collection admins and then click on the link I get a pop up saying that the page does not exist and if I want to create it.
When I try to do the same with a user that has Full Control access to the pages list I get access denied. When I temporarily set the user as a site collection admin he can click on the link and also create the new page.
What permission and on what list(s) does a user really need to be able to create these pages when clicking on a forward link?
Thanks in advance.

The fix to this:
Go to Site Actions -> Site Settings ->Modify all site settings
Go to Galleries -> Master pages and page layouts
From the list toolbar, select Settings -> Document library settings
Select permissions for this document library
Add 'Restricted Read' access to the required groups.
Once this is done, your users will no longer get the access denied error .
I am trying to update a layout page in Sharepoint Designer but when I click Save I receive an Access Denied error. I can see that the layout page is created by the system account. I am in the site owners group so I think I should be able to make modifications to the page.
Any help?
The page could be checked out by the System Account or never had a published version, also, site owners have limited permissions in the site collection (where the page layouts reside)
I created a SharePoint sub-site, and accidently deleted all permissions groups except for the Members (which included me) and now I'm stuck looking at the site I've created but I'm not able to edit or delete it and create a new one.
Any idea of what I could do to get myself out of this situation?
Thanks,
Ash
Normally you can still sign-in with the system account.
If not try adding the system account to the Site Collection Administrators. (In the settings of the root site of the site collection. )
You'll need to use an account that's in the Site Collection Administrators.
If you're not able to view the Site Collection Administrators (in Site Settings), you'll need to contact the admins of the site and ask them to re-assign you Full Control permissions to your site so you can begin rebuilding your site permissions.
