Unable to create a Collaboration Portal Site Collection

I have a strange issue.  I can create any other type of site collection EXCEPT a collaboration Portal.  Even the Publishing Portal works.
I get an error that just states that I need to contact the System Administrator.  Unfortunately that's me.
Any thoughts?
The only thing that changed recently was that I could not get into the SSP (I got an error when trying to get to the site) and the only way to fix it was to restore a previous version of the web.config file.
Thanks
Ron

This is the only error:
 
 This page has encountered a critical error. Contact your system administrator if this problem persists.  
 
I've made the changes to the web config and that's all I get.

Here is the Event Viewer entry that I think applies to this:
Event log message was: 'The site template was not provisioned successfully. Delete this site collection in Central Administration, and then create a new site collection.'. Exception was: 'Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartPageUserException: This page has encountered a critical error. Contact your system administrator if this problem persists.
