MOSS 2007 Search Crawl failing with odd warning

Asked By: Nadia Alvarado Date: Apr 22, 2010 Category: MOSS Views: 268

This is a two-server farm (one SQL Server, one MOSS box with everything on
it). MOSS SP2, Windows 2003 SP2, and SQL 2005.

The last crawl (an incremental) happened on April 30. No application log
errors have been noted since then, and the crawl log still shows all the
green dots from its previous activity (no new yellow or red ones).

However, when I try to set off a full crawl, I get the following warning
from the windows event log:


The start address <http://ServerAddressRemovedButIKnowIt'sCorrect> cannot be
crawled.

Context: Application 'SSP1', Catalog 'Portal_Content'

Details:
The specified address was excluded from the index. The crawl rules may
have to be modified to include this address. (0x80040d07)

I can hit this address (a FQDN) from the browser on the server, so it
doesn't appear to be a loopback problem. I even messed with the crawl rule
just in case, though I'm fairly certain I haven't touched it since before
this stopped working. Nothing seems to make sense, and Dr. Google hasn't
prescribed anything helpful.

Any spare clues out there?

Did you (or someone) install a hotfix right before this occured? I am getting
this error too, every 5 minutes. 5 hotfixes were applied, and then 30 minutes
later these errors started happening.

Answer #2 Answered By: Micheal Knight Answered On: Apr 22, 2010

I'm not aware of any hotfix installation. Nothing shows up in the event log
as far as I can see. I'll check again just to be sure.

Let me know if you learn anything further.

BTW, I also checked on the "blocked file type" suggestion, but our farm
doesn't block text files.

What were the hotfixes??????????????

Answer #4 Answered By: Elisha Abbott Answered On: Apr 22, 2010

Hotfix # 957097 looks to be the one that hosed this up. Not sure how to fix it
though!

I tired both of those fixes, but I don't know what to put in for "Value Data"
for host names. Any help with that?

I tried that and it didn't stop the error.........

Answer #9 Answered By: Jacklyn Burnett Answered On: Apr 22, 2010

loopback check is old hat for me. Doesn't seem to be the problem here.
Besides, I've never seen *that* error (from my original post) when loopback
is the problem.
