Next: Error When I try to open Central administration of WSS 3.0 SP1
From: Steve Gould on 7 Jun 2008 19:57 I needed to migrate a WSS 3 server to new hardware. It is up and running with the exception of search. I ended up creating a new Search database as the first one created when I installed WSS gave errors and would not run. I can start a full crawl and see the CPU spike and the search service and SQLServer running hard. The event logs show the search session run, master merge complete, etc. The Search MDF file is about 18M right now and the log file 15. The mdf file on the old server was about 36M... not a lot, but I could search for everything. I have checked via stsadm and search is set on the content database so it should crawl. I set the SQL ##SSEE and Search services to run under the same account that the application pool runs under. Search gives no results. Even for new content. Wait a day, nothing. Trigger full crawls, nothing. When I stop and restart the SQL server ##SSEE I get these: Event Type: Error Event Source: Windows SharePoint Services 3 Event Category: Database Event ID: 5586 Date: 6/7/2008 Time: 4:42:29 PM User: N/A Computer: GSP Description: Unknown SQL Exception 232 occured.

More info, I connected to the database with Management Studio. I gave the service account I am using sysadmin rights to the content database to see if that would help as it had no rights. No change. I even made that account a member of the servers local admin group. I have removed and added search databases a couple more times. The search service is only crawling the config database, NOT the content DB. It verified that it is set to crawl the content DB when I checked via spsearch list. I am getting no application errors now. I think my previous ones were related to the database service starting up. Please note that the current site was a restore from a different server using the "restore new" method. I then removed the first site and its content database, so this site is currently the one and only web app and site. Can anyone suggest what to try next? Steve |
