Infopath Publishing thru Central Admin (MOSS / Sharepoint 2007) fails with error!

When I was trying to load an InfoPath form template (via Central Admin --> Manage Form Templates), and I got following error:

“This form template has not been correctly published to be browser-enabled. Open the form template in InfoPath Design mode, and click Publish Form Template in the Design Tasks task pane. Follow the steps in the Publishing Wizard to republish the form template, and then try again”

So the basic thing to note here is:

Forms uploaded through Central Admin need to be specifically published for that purpose, by choosing Publish -> To a SharePoint Server and choosing ‘Administrator-approved form template (advanced)’. This option saves a version of the Form Template which is specifically configured for publishing to Central Admin and Forms Services Administration will block uploading XSNs that are not published in this manner.

Have you ever come across the error, that says:

"This form template is browser-compatible, but it cannot be browser-enabled on the selected site" .

The reason was we had a Publishing Portal with all the required features enabled out of the box (we did not enable one explicitly before we saw the error). Then we came across the one feature (infact two) which had to be enabled and we did it thru commandline, how? Here is the answer:

STSADM.EXE -o activatefeature -filename IPFSSiteFeatures\feature.xml -url sitecollection_URL -force

STSADM.EXE -o activatefeature -filename IPFSWebFeatures\feature.xml -url sitecollection_URL -force
