Sharepoint 2007 indexing issue

Problem: Access is denied. Check that the Default Content Access Account has access to this content, or add a crawl rule to crawl this content. (0×80041205)
Solution: you need to extend your SharePoint web application to run on an additional port, configure NTLM for the site and have crawler to follow NTLM site to build index.
- Go to SharePoint Central administration -> Application management.
- Choose “Create or extend Web application”.
- Choose “Extend an existing Web application”.
- Choose your “basic” web application from the list.
- Set other parameters as needed. Suppose we configure it to run at http://server:1234.
- From Zone list, choose a zone other than Default. i.e. Custom.
- After the mapped site is created, go to Application Management -> Authentication Providers.
- Find and click the zone (for the mapped site) we just created. Set “Windows integrated” authentication.
- Go to Operations -> Alternate access mappings.
- Change the alternate access mapping collection to our web application.
- Click Edit Public URLs, and exchange the URL in the list. Make sure that the new URL http://server:1234 is in Default URL while the original URL can be set at any other zone.
