When you create a new Web site, the site is not automatically marked as
indexed when you create a catalog for it.
To correctly index a new Web site, follow these steps:
For Index Server 2.0- Make sure that the Web site has been created in the Internet
Information Server snap-in.
- In the Index Server snap-in, create a new catalog. After the catalog
has been created, view the properties for it. On the Web tab, select
the Web site that you want to index, and click OK.
- Go back to the Internet Information Server snap-in, and select
Properties on the Web site you are indexing.
- On the Home Directory tab, select the Index This Directory check box,
and click OK.
- Stop the Index server, and then restart it. The new catalog should come
online and begin indexing the new Web site.
For Windows 2000 Indexing Service- Make sure that the Web site has been created in the Internet
Information Server snap-in.
- In the Index Server snap-in, create a new catalog. After the catalog has been created, view the properties for it.
On the Tracking tab, select the Web site that you want to index from the WWW Server pull-down menu, and then click OK.
- Go back to the Internet Information Server snap-in, and select
Properties on the Web site you are indexing.
- On the Home Directory tab, select the Index This Resource check box, and
click OK.
- Stop the Index Service, and then restart it. The new catalog should come
online and begin indexing the new Web site. In Windows 2000, Indexing Service does not need to be restarted.
Stopping and restarting the catalog is enough.
