I am getting the error below while getting the Search Crawlers to work:-
The start address sts4://mysites/contentdbid={3d198865-7f27-4633-bd71-902795032d78} cannot be crawled.
*Context: Application 'Search_index_file_on_the_search_server', Catalog 'Search'*
Details: Access is denied. Verify that either the Default Content Access Account has access to this repository, or add a crawl rule to crawl this repository. If the repository being crawled is a SharePoint repository, verify that the account you are using has "Full Read" permissions on the SharePoint Web Application being crawled. (0x80041205)
I have checked all permissions and they appear to be in order.
While investigating this problem I discovered that when I RDP to the SharePoint server and connect to the sites whilst on the server (locally to the server) I get access denied.
The Central Administration works just fine, but all the other Web Applications (intranet & mysites) will not allow me to login. I get prompted to enter username and password (like I do when connecting to CA) but it never accepts the login. These sites work without any problems when accessed from client workstations.
When I check the site log file it is reporting a http 401 Unauthorised error.
Note: The sites are not using Claims Authentication
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks, Andrew
