Enabling Publishing Infrastructure throws error message: Access Denied

To leverage the Output or Page Caching feature of SharePoint 2007, we need to enable publishing infrastructure onto the website.

At times when using the Site Level Admin Console to activate this feature, it fails giving error message.

This is when you use stsadm commandline utility onto the SharePoint Server as follows:

stsadm -o activatefeature -name PublishingSite -url http://sitecollectionurl/

SharePoint Enabling Output and Page Caching prerequiste is the publishing infrastructure.

Now, as a site collection administrator you can:

• Enable the Office SharePoint Server Publishing  feature from Site Features
• Enable Output Caching and Page Caching from Site Admin Page.
