Hi there,
I have created a new virtual server, created a new portal site in that.
After deleting the new portal, search wasn't working anymore.
App-Log said to try to remount the index. If not possible, delete it to
automatically create an new one. Site Settings-Configure Search & indexing
only displayed something like "try to remount index or delete it".
I did that manually by deleting the folder with the index, because I could
not do so via the web page.
Now:
App-Log: "An exception occured in the search synchronizer"
When trying to configure search & indexing through Site Settings, I now have
all the menus there, but with error "failed to initialize content sources".
I cannot add / delete content sources.
Trying to restore an index from backup fails with "The server threw an
exception".
When trying to use catutil (after stopping the sharepointpssearch service)
to verify the index, I get
"Checking integrity of the existing database...
Attempt to open database failed:'JET_errFileNotFound, File not found'
Ensure that search service is stopped."
Everything else seems to work fine, but I cannot do any searches.
I'm out of ideas. Maybe anyone has a clue?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Liss
