I created a script which provisions a host name based site collection. The issue is when it creates the site collection,
it gives it a url as ($webappurl +$sitecollection.url) ie if the web application is test.dev.com and site collection is test2.dev.com then it will create the site collection as test.dev.test2.dev.com . I tried to modify the script by removing the
$webappurl but it gives me all sorts of errors like invalid uri etc. Kinda stuck there . I am attaching the script and the config file which it looks up for. Desired result is creating the site collection with url test2.dev.com
