"Content xxx type not found in web" error - Portal Server 2007

We have a new portal server installation that is working fine except for one strange error. We created our new site using the "Publishing Site" template and also created subsites below it. All that went fine. However, if we try to create a new page ("Create Page" command from the "Site Actions" Menu) from any of these sites we get this error:
Content type '0x01010007FF3E057FA8AB4AA42FCB67B453FFC100E214EEE741181F4E9F7ACC43278EE811'not found in web 'http://mossServer'

When i check the content type on my website i was shocked there was nothing means not even single content type.
After a lot of google up i found some solutions.
1. Run the Sharepoint products and technologies configuration wizard once. (worked for me).
2. Go to Site Central Admin, User Permissions for Web Application and be sure "Use Client Integration Features" and "Use Remote Interfaces" are enabled. That can also work for you.
