Hello everybody.

I am trying to create a regular web part page with powershell and I am not able to do it. There is no information in google about the error I get:

PHP

$spWeb = Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://server/site"
$pubWeb =[Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::GetPublishingWeb($spWeb)
$pl = $pubWeb.GetAvailablePageLayouts()

Exception calling "GetAvailablePageLayouts" with "0" argument(s): "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
At line:1 char:38

C#

+ $pl = $pubWeb.GetAvailablePageLayouts <<<< ()
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (: ) [ ], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException

The error occurs when executing GetAvailablePageLayouts().

Any clue? Thank you.

Does this expect parameters: GetAvailablePageLayouts ?

is #pubWeb not null? Debug and see.

Can have, or not any parameters. Should work without any paramenters.
And, after doing $pubweb I receive

IsAllowingAllWebTemplates : True
IsAllowingAllPageLayouts : True
IsInheritingAvailableWebTemplates : False
IsInheritingAvailablePageLayouts : False
IsInheritingDefaultPageLayout : False
IsInheritingNewPageUrlToken : False
DefaultPageLayout :
NewPageUrlToken : NewPage
Web : Home
IsRoot : False
....

So I can confirm it is not null.
