You have a SharePoint Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) server farm. You attempt to enable the SharePoint Server Publishing feature on a site and receive the following error message: "The feature you are trying to activate is from the scope Web. It has a dependency on another feature in the Site scope which is a hidden feature." You need to ensure that you can enable the SharePoint Server Publishing feature. What should you do first?
A. From Site Settings, configure Site Collection Features.
B. Run stsadm.exe and specify the installfeature operation.
C. Run the install-spfeature cmdlet.
D. From Site Settings, configure Search Scopes.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference: Site
The feature being activated is a Site scoped feature which has a dependency on a Site Collection scoped feature which has not been activated. Please activate the following feature before trying again: SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure f6924d36-2fa8-4f0b-b16d-06b7250180fa
Web
The Site scoped feature being activated has a dependency on hidden Site scoped feature ‘FeatureDefinition/22a9ef51-737b-4ff2-9346- 694633fe4416′ (ID: ’22a9ef51-737b-4ff2-9346-694633fe4416’). Hidden features cannot be auto-activated across scopes. There may be one or more visible Site scoped features that auto-activate the dependent hidden feature.
Nope. You need to activate Publishing Infrastructure in the Site Collection where you want to use Publishing, not Central Administration.
Go to the Top level site of the Site Collection and choose Site Actions > Site Settings. On the Site Settings page in the Site Collection Administration column choose Site Collection Features. Activate SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure Feature.
Then go back to the Site Settings page and choose Manage site features in the Site Actions column. Activate the Sharepoint server Publishing Feature. Now you can activate Publishing on any site in this site collection. For other site collections repeat the process.
