Sharepoint: Why do I not get the option to create new Survey, Discussion, Wiki etc?

Question

I have created a new web application (port 44455) to host all the discussions, surveys and wikis that we will want. I then created a new site collection (which uses the publishing template) and then tried to create a survey (AllSiteContent --> Create --> Tracking --> Survey) but the only option presented was 'Tasks'.

Why is this? On the main web application (port80), all the options were available. Did I forget somthing? The wrong site template?

Answer 1

Navigate to

Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Modify all Settings -> Site Colection Features

and see if the following are activated.

1. Office SharePoint Server Standard Site Collection features
2. Office SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure

Answer 2

You need to activate the "Team Collaboration Lists" under Site Actions -> Modify All Site Settings -> Site Features (not site collection features)
