Problem Description: not able to activate the feature in
SharePoint 2010
I was
facing the following error messages while activating the feature at the site
level.
Where exactly:
-Site actions
-Site settings
-Manage site
features
Error Message:
Site
The feature being activated is a Site scoped feature which has a
dependency on a Site Collection scoped feature which has not been activated.
Please activate the following feature before trying again: SharePoint Server
Publishing Infrastructure f6924d36-2fa8-4f0b-b16d-06b7250180fa
Web
The Site scoped feature being activated has a dependency on hidden
Site scoped feature 'FeatureDefinition/22a9ef51-737b-4ff2-9346-694633fe4416'
(ID: '22a9ef51-737b-4ff2-9346-694633fe4416'). Hidden features cannot be auto-activated
across scopes. There may be one or more visible Site scoped features that
auto-activate the dependent hidden feature.
From the
above error message, it is quite clear regarding the resolution we need to
apply to get rid of this message.
Resolution:
Let me explain in
details, step by step:
-Open the site on which you are facing this problem
-site actions
-site settings
-site collection administration
-site collection features
-activate the appropriate feature as per your requirements.
Note: if
you are not able to see the ‘site collection administration then you don’t have
appropriate rights to activate that feature.
What you
need to do in such situations? - Please contact your site collection
administrators and mention the complete details so that they can activate the
feature for you / tell them to assign you site collection admin rights -(this
is sometimes difficult if they follow the policy)
Product Applies to:
-SharePoint
Server 2010
-SharePoint
Foundation 2010
If you
have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then
please let me know.
I would
be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, thank you.
