"Save Site as Template" is not supported for Publishing sites : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925189/en-us >>The supported method to create templates for publishing sites is to use site definition templates.
http://blogs.technet.com/stefan_gossner/archive/2007/09/19/save-site-as-template-option-and-the-publishing-feature.aspx Unfortunatelly the answer for this question is: saving publishing enabled sites as a template is not supported and it does not work. You cannot use this option to create new sites. Instead you should create site definitions (..\web server extensions\12\template\SiteTemplates) and provision the new site based on such a site definition. Update April 24th, 2008: The same statement applies if you save the template from SharePoint Designer. Also not supported.

Is the first page of your site using a Welcome Page page layout? If not then that could be the problem.

Hi Guys I am trying to save Publishing Portal and Collaboration Portal sites as templates. When I create a new site using the new template, I am getting the following error: This page is not using a valid page layout. To correct the problem, edit page settings and select a valid page layout." A colleague mentioned there are problems with the publishing and collaboration portal sites. Just wondering if there is any solution for this problem. regards Anand Reddy (Web/DB Systems Administrator - DET) ********************************************************************** This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain privileged information or confidential information or both.
