Answering my own question whit al little bit of help from Asim Dadan from
Microsoft support in India. (Off course it is not sure or this is helping you
whit the same problem you have on your SharePoint server because this event
error is al little bit general.)
As I already thought when I was writing the original post, this error also
appears when you don’t have a root site on your server. The search need to
start whit a root site before it can jump to other sites.
Example:
Your server name is “MYSERVER” and you have created a site
http://MYSERVER:84/Sites/myportal or http://MYSERVER/Sites/myportal.
The site myportal isn’t on the root. When you browse to http://myserver or
http://myserver:84 you get a page cannot be displayed.
When you create a root site (Application Management / SharePoint Site
Management / Create site collection) the search starts working again.
In my opinion it is a bit strange that this is needed but I am just a simple
men….
I hope this helps more people solving this issue.

JK TECH SOLUTION:
It took hours to find this...
SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration /Application Management / SharePoint Site
Management / Create site collection
Create an empty site at the "/" level.
Now everything works as advertised and the 2436 errors stop. |
