No Template is available except Publishing Site!!!

Hi,

I had created new site collection using publishing template on my fresh farm server installation. Now i want to create a new subsite under this site collection like a "Helpdesk" using template providing by microsoft (40 favorite http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/sharepoint/bb407286.aspx.)

You know i am the expert for these things so i just go blindly on site setting -> create new site...

What is this !!!!! there is no template except the publishing template not even team site, workspace nothing. I just kicked out myself.

Then i did workaround for that and found i didn't activate features on the site collection like Standard Site Collection features, Enterprise Site Collection features blah blah...

Not even i did upload and activate the custom site template provided by Microsoft.

After doing these things i feel little bit relax because i got everything what i want to create as a subsite and stop to say that i am expert for these things.
