Error Message: The Catalog Directory Can Not Be Found... (160669)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Index Server 1.1
This article was previously published under Q160669 SYMPTOMS
When you query on Index Server, you may get the following error message:
The catalog directory can not be found in the location
specified by 'CiCatalog=' in file
\InetPub\scripts\samples\search\queryhit.idq.
(0xc0002037) encountered while processing the query "XXXX".
CAUSE
The # sign and <=COMMENTED OUT - Default Registry Value Used are deleted in
the Query.idq and Queryhit.idq files.
As a result, five spaces are left before your new catalog directory. When
the query engine looks at the CiCatalog parameter, and sees spaces after
the last "\", you get the above error message.
The following is the correct line for the Query.idq and Queryhit.idq files:
# CiCatalog=e:\ <= COMMENTED OUT - default registry value used
WORKAROUND
Remove any trailing spaces after the "\" on the CiCatalog line in your .idq
file.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Microsoft Index Server
version 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
