Hi Waheeba,

• The first place to look at is, make sure you have got root site collection created on your target MOSS server ("/").
• Make sure you have SSP created and configured.
• If your site is not on default port, you may need to register your site in host file (normally available under WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc  hosts. Edit file in notepad and add a line in the bottom in a format <YOUR SERVER IP>   <HOST-HEADER>, or you might need to have a look at dns to make sure your server is registered there for infopath to access your site.

Hi Again Waheeba,

Another question, do you (current user) have enough permission on the root site collection of target server ?

Answer 7

Make sure there should be Site Collection created at Root level for selected Web Application. This is the solution for this error.

If you created Web Application e.g. 8888. Make sure you have created the Site at http://server:8888 otherwise it will give "Invalid Url" error even if Site is created at http://server:8888/sites/site & no site exist at http://server:8888 root level.

Answer 9

Hi Again Ashraf
There aren't error display any error in the EventViewer

Answer 10

Hi Waheeba,

You need to check permission in sharepoint (root site collection) and not in InfoPath, because when you provide url (Sharepoint root site collection) in InfoPath publishing wizard it tries to connect target server, if you don't have permission on your sharepoint root site collection then InfoPath will return you the error, not accurate enough though in most cases.

We got this issue when AJAX was configured for the SharePoint site. When we rolled-back the Web.config file, publishing started working again.

At this stage we don't know the specific AJAX config setting which causes the error.
