Sharepoint 2010 stsadm createsite command in command line giving me error that "The web application url http://xxxx cannot be reached

Question

I was trying to run the createsite stsadm command from command line in sharepoint2010 and I am getting error that is "The web application url http:// cannot be reached....". I have searched the web and most of the blogs/sites referring to this same kind of error from the visual studio code. They have asked to change the target in VS to 64 bit. But here i am not running from the visual studio and i am only trying to run the createsite stsadm command in the commandline.

Any help will be appreciated..

Thanks

If you're running SharePoint 2010, you should consider moving to PowerShell. The PowerShell command for this would be:

Get-SPWebTemplate $template = Get-SPWebTemplate "STS#0" New-SPSite -Url "" -OwnerAlias "" -Template $template
