Search Crawling is error out on my MOSS 2007 installation.
I get the following error for all the web apps I have following error in Crawl logs.
http://mysites.devserver
URL could not be resolved. The host may be unavailable, or the proxy settings are not configured correctly on the index server.
The Application Event log also has the following corresponding error
The start address http://mysites.devserver cannot be crawled.
Context: Application 'SSPMain', Catalog 'Portal_Content'
Details:
The URL of the item could not be resolved. The repository might be unavailable, or the crawler proxy settings are not configured. To configure the crawler proxy settings, use the Proxy and Timeout page in search administration. (0x80041221)
I'm using Windows 2008 server. I tried accessing the site using the above mentioned url and its available. I did the registry setting for loop back issue found here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861 still not luck.
Any Ideas?

I had the exact same problem, you need to increase the connection timeout in the farm search administration screen, I change this on my VM from 60 seconds to 120 seconds and im now crawling content successfully.
