Search crawl fails, event 2436
Hi!
I get an error when attempting a full search crawl of my MOSS 2007 site. The "MySite" part of sharepoint is crawled correctly, but the main sharepoint site is not.
When I check the windows event log i find the error displayed in in the code section below (translated). The user account used for crawl is domain admin for troubleshooting purposes. I can log in to the affected site using the same credentials I provided in the search crawl settings.

Sounds promising. When you say extend the web application, do you mean to simply add another alternate access mapping to the existing web application, or to create a new "Website" in IIS?
I'm pretty noob in this area, so if you have the time could you briefly explain how to "set up server name mappings in Search to present the search results using the https: address."

I think the problem here is that your main sharepoint site is using SSL (httpS://....)
MOSS cannot crawl SSL sites. The solution is to extend your web applicaiton out to a different zone, and have search crawl that. Then set up server name mappings in Search to present the search results using the https: address.
