    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.

    Go to the root site collection and click on People and Groups.  The permissions at the top-level are there.

    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 Waheeba,

    Could you let us know how you have checked all the points i mentioned in my previous post, have a look at EvenViewer and check if there is any exception / error logged after you tried to publish infopath.

    Hi Again Waheeba,

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

    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.
    Cheers, Ashwin B.
