.NET 
Today I encountered a very irritating error while publishing my InfoPath 2007 form to a MOSS 2007 server with InfoPath Form Services installed. InfoPath refused to publish my form with the message: "The following URL is not valid: http://oss1.
Since I am using an official image which was created by Microsoft itself, I assumed there was nothing wrong with installation, but with configuration. After searching for quite some time without results, I started googling and found this article by Firedancer which came up with a solution: stop the System Event Notification Service! I have no idea how they found this solution, but it sure works! Thanks Firedancer!

1. Created a new SSP,
2. Associated the web apps to SSP
alternatively
1. Publish infopath to a Network location.
2. Go to the Central Administration -> “Application Management” -> “Infopath Forms Services” ->”Manage Form Templates”
3. Upload template from the network share where we published
4. Activate to the site.
5. Go to the site & add it.

I am still getting that invalid URL error when trying to publish my forms. I am using WSS3 and NOT Infopath services just infopath. The weird thing is I can publish to any site but the root site. Any ideas?

Luke Adams, did you ever find an answer to this problem, I am currently having the same problem as you, can not publish to any root site.

WooHoo! This worked like a charm!!!! Would never had thought about this. I could publish to any other MOSS farm except for the local one on my virtual.

One other solution for “The following URL is not valid” error message that’s known and worked for me is that you need to have a root site under your SharePoint Web Application.
You need at least one site that’s created directly under “/” instead of “/sites/”.
