Your personal site cannot be created because Self-Service Site Creationis not enabled. Contact your site administrator for more information

Sometimes, even after personalizing your permissions in Shared Services, and after going to mysite it prompts:
“Your personal site cannot be created because Self-Service Site Creation is not enabled. Contact your site administrator for more information”
In order to fix this,

1. Go to Central Administration,
2. Application Management
3. go to the categorySite Security
4. click Self-service site management.
5. Enable it (ensuring that the mysite web application is selected)

the problem is fixed (not really a problem, it’s due to diable MySite creation)

Enjoy!
