Error while creating new SP Site collection 2013

Brass Contributor

When I try to create a new site collection in a web application, it gives the error:


Sorry, something went wrong This page has encountered a critical error. Contact your system administrator if this problem persists. 

 

A couple of days back, I had changed the settings in Monitoring>when it showed me that content db is growing large, I had clicked on repair automatically which might have stopped me from creating new site collections.

Any one know how to revert this settings?
I checked the uls logs and it showed me:

Can you look at other preceding ULS entries? This by itself isn't terribly useful other than we can assume it is happening during feature activation.

These are the some of the entries:

 

 

A large block of literal text was sent to sql (length 98634). This can result in blocking in sql and excessive memory use on the front end. Verify that no binary parameters are being passed as literals, and consider breaking up batches into smaller components. If this request is for a SharePoint list or list item, you may be able to resolve this by reducing the number of fields. Call stack:

Please let me know if it helps or you need anything else.

 

Thanks again

Try:
Install-SPFeature -AllExistingFeatures
Install-SPApplicationContent

Do you have any custom solutions deployed that create List Templates?

I tried both the commands and tried creating the site. same issue. powershell also doesnt work.

 

I see some three .wsp files deployed successfully in the ::: system settings>manage farm solutions>solution management.

is this what you needed?

i am new to this environment. Hence im trying to reverse engineer into everything.
