I faced this issue while trying to create a new site collection in SharePoint 2019. Below is the screenshot of the issue while creating a site collection.
Provisioning did not succeed. Details: The site template was not provisioned successfully
The workaround of the issue is creating an empty site collection using STSADM command next choose the template to create a site.
Syntax
STSADM.EXE -o createsite -url <url-to-site-collection> -ownerlogindomain\user -owneremail <email-address>
Example
STSADM.EXE -o createsite -url http://servername:80/sites/RajSitecollection-ownerloginmydomain\rswain-owneremail rswain@sharepointonline.com -sitetemplate CMSPUBLISHING#0
Remember, using the “Blank Site” template does NOT create a completely empty site collection. The site collection created by the Blank Site template creates some content for the default website. You can see the difference if you create a site collection using both methods and then inspect the content of the created sites using SharePoint designer 2013.
Then go to http://servername:80/sites/RajSitecollection , it will ask you to choose a site template. After select “Collaboration Portal”, the site is created without error.
