Sharepoint server publishing infrastructure not visible in Sharepoint 2010 Foundation

Question

I am trying to activate the Sharepoint server publishing infrastructure in order to be able to use custom master pages. When I go to Sharepoint 2010 Central admin > Site Actions > Site Settings > Site Collection features, the option for Server Publishing is missing. It looks like this feature is not available on Sharepoint 2010 Foundation. Is that so?

Answer 1

You have to activate the site collection features (Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Manage Site Collection Features) before you try to activate the site feature. Once you do that, it should appear as an option.

Answer 2

Publishing features are available in SharePoint Server 2010 (standard and enterprise), but not in SharePoint 2010 Foundation.
