Steps I've taken thus far:
Site Actions > Site Settings > Site Collection Features (under Site Collection Administration) > Sharepoint Server Publishing Infrastructure [Activate].
Once I try to activate it, I get the error that says:
Publishing sites and features cannot be activated in the Central Administration Web Application.Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.
Correlation ID: 024700ee-9d34-4e31-b1c3-c5b08a658249
I have tried to find someone that has the same error as me, but have so far been unsuccessful. I am pretty new to Sharepoint, and would love some wisdom from people who are far more experienced than myself. I am logged in as an administrator, and I am in the farm admin group for the whole sharepoint environment, so I don't believe it's an issue of permissions here.
Anyone else run into this error? How do you go about fixing it?
