Microsoft Sharepoint Portal Server :: Search service not crawling central administration


	Search service not crawling central administration Yesterday I changed the URLS for my Shared Services and Central Administration sites on the MOSS2007 server so that they were not using Port Numbers and instead were using host headers. I altered the Alternate Access Mappings and everything seems fine when actually visiting the pages using the new URLs created for them. Everything that is except search. I now get the following error in eventviewer as search cannot crawl the central administration site: --------- The start address <sts3://centraladmin/contentdbid={b82597d0-f36e-4e7a- bda7-8c1a49452d51}> cannot be crawled. Context: Application 'Search index file on the search server', Catalog 'Search' Details: Access is denied. Check that the Default Content Access Account has access to this content, or add a crawl rule to crawl this content. (0x80041205) For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. -------------- I've added the default content access account to the centraladmin site as a reader, but that's not solved it. I tried to add "sts3:// centraladmin/" in to the start address in the config for the search but it doesn't like it. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be wrong? Should search even be crawling the central administration pages at all? Have you tryied using another account for the crawl? You could also check if something changed in the crawl content config. /Daniel Bugday <st3p@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1178797969.631752.213540@e65g2000hsc.googlegroups.com... - Hide quoted text - > Yesterday I changed the URLS for my Shared Services and Central > Administration sites on the MOSS2007 server so that they were not > using Port Numbers and instead were using host headers.

Should > search even be crawling the central administration pages at all? I just realised that I'd been looking in the wrong place. I had been altering the settings on the shared services search. I've now found where I can alter the content access accounts for "Windows SharePoint Services 3 Search" so I have tried using both my own account and another content one which have known good access to the central administration site and neither has fixed the error. I can't find where I can change the content sources for that search, so I'm still getting the errors. I've tried stopping the service and restarting (creating new databases etc.) but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

Context: Application 'Search index file on the search server', Catalog 'Search' Details: Access is denied. Check that the Default Content Access Account has access to this content, or add a crawl rule to crawl this content. (0x80041205) For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. That's the full text from the event logs. Happens every 5 minutes as that's how often the crawl is taking place. I really don't think the search needs to crawl central admin, but I have no idea how to exclude it. I did have a look through the registry and found that sts3:// centraladmin etc. in a key, but when I delete the key it just adds it back in again and throws up the error.
