Hi - I have inherited development environment running a single server SharePoint 2013 instance. The site is functioning well and appeared fully operational. However - it won't allow me to create new web applications (via the web interface or Powershell) - the Create New Web Application page times out after about 30 minutes, and when using Powershell I am greeted with the following error which I also see within the log file - I have cleared the config cache as some of the answers pointed to this however this has not worked. I am a serevr admin, farm admin and site collection administrator.
Any guidance appreciated, I'm into my second day of this and would rather not have to re install SharePoint :/
