Failed to instantiate file "Default.aspx" from module "ProjectPortalHome": The specified list does not exist.

Question

Hello, I have a problem creating a site collection from my onet.xml. I guess the list "Pages" is not created correctly. What do I need to get it created?

 

The error message;

Failed to instantiate file "Default.aspx" from module "ProjectPortalHome": The specified list does not exist.

 

The Module element;

Hi Henrik,

I have came across this problem a few times.

I found the best thing to do, is to delete the module from the feature.  Then add a new one and add the files which you want to upload in the .wsp and the problem should be solved.
