I had a client who has WSS. They weren’t seeing any search results. There were also some errors being logged on the server the most prevalent of which was:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Windows SharePoint Services 3 Search
Event Category: Gatherer
Event ID: 2436
Date: 11/5/2007
Time: 10:00:03 AM
User: N/A
Computer: SERVER
Description:
The start address <sts3://server/contentdbid={70792d37-74fc-430d-8939-d55afebdb795}> cannot be crawled.
Context: Application ‘Search index file on the search server’, Catalog ‘Search’
Details:
The object was not found. (0x80041201)
The reason for the error … the server couldn’t reach the web application on its default URL. Once I changed the alternate access mappings so that the default URL was reachable from the server and issued a command to start a full search (see below), it finally indexed things correctly. The command to force a full crawl is:
STSADM –o spsearch –action fullcrawlstart

Hi, I think your article is just what I need. However, what did you change your “alternate access mappings” to in order to get it to work?
Good Day. I have the same problem, but your solution doesn’t work for me. And what you mean when saing “alternate access mappings”? You have used another logins? With what rights?
Please e-mail me.
In my case the error is Permission denied even if I’ve set Administrator account as a identity of crawler. I really don’t understand
