    Hi Fadwa,

    • 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.

    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.

    Hi Fadwa,

    Make sure you have enough permission on sharepoint (root site collection), because when you provide url (Sharepoint root site collection) in InfoPath publishing wizard, it tries to connect target sharepoint server, so 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.

    Hello,

    Try this:

    1)  Central Administration > Application Management > Site Collection List
    2)  Select the Web Application for your site collection
    3)  Find your site collection and is the url for the site collection the same as the one you are using to publish the form?
