Process Template Upload Error On SharePointPortal Task

Question

We have been modifying and uploading our own process template for three or four months.  Today I wanted to make a change, but when I uploaded the template I received the following error when the SharePointPortal task in WssRasks.xml was processed:

Exception Type: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException
Exception Message: Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.
SoapException Details: <detail><errorstring xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">The Web site that is referenced here is not in the configuration database.</errorstring></detail>

What is interesting is I get the same error if I download an existing template (such as MSF Agile) and try to upload the template without making any changes.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Here's is an update on what we did yesterday to fix this problem.  We created a top level site and bound the DefaultWebSite to Sharepoint services.  We're not 100% sure how the original set-up worked, but this seemed to fix the problem.
