SharePoint Error:  Failed to activate Features....
I created a site collectionin Central Administration. I open my site and go into site setting to activate some features and I'm getting the following errors: Office SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection featuresFailed to activate feature 'LocalSiteDirectorySettingsLink' (ID: e978b1a6-8de7-49d0-8600-09a250354e14) at scope 'http://oskmosst01'.Office SharePOint Server Standard Site Collection FeatureFailed to activate feature 'LocalSiteDirectorySettingsLink' (ID: e978b1a6-8de7-49d0-8600-09a250354e14) at scope 'http://oskmosst01'.I get errors on any feature that isn't activated under Site Administration: Site Features and Site Collection Administration: Site Collection Features.I'm really stumped on this one. Does anyone know what is happening or causing this?Thanks,Jessica

I resolved it just restarting IIS.

iisreset worked for me too. Recycling the app pool probably would have done it too. Must be some corruption in processes. May need to cycle the pools more frequently.
