Unfortunatly creating a site is a two step process and only half the site is created on the back end. There are JIRAs and discussions in these forums about this.

However the bottom line is that although it is not as straightforward as it should be it is possible.

I've just attempted again but editting the share-config-custom.xml to allow requests from outside of a browser with no CSRF token (as per https://forums.alfresco.com/comment/140283#comment-140283 – see the comment near the bottom), however the problem still manifests. The only ticket I can find that's relevant is https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/MNT-11706?jql=text%20~%20%22create-site%22 which currently has no resolution. Can you point out any that do show a resolution/workaround? I just can't believe that this doesn't work OOTB.
