I inherited a Google Mini and am trying to work around the limitation of not being able to index SharePoint (2003) natively. I can map a UNC path to a site's Shared Documents folder in Windows or Mac OS X, but I am stuck somewhere with the Mini. Or am I crazy? Is this not a valid workaround?

For "Start Crawling from the Following URLs:" and "sharepoint.mysite.com\DavWWWRoot\sites\siteName\LibraryName\" I have the following:

\\sharepoint.mysite.com\DavWWWRoot\sites\siteName\LibraryName\

Since this needs authentication I have the same URL in Crawler Access with a tested username/pwd combo.

The Crawl Diagnostics gives me a Error: Document not found (404). for the same URL. (The Mini displays it in the diagnostics as unc://sharepoint.mysite.com/DavWWWRoot/sites/siteName/LibraryName/)

Under Network Settings I ran the Network Diagnostics for the aforementioned URL and received the following:

Test URL unc://sharepoint.mysite.com/DavWWWRoot/sites/siteName/LibraryName/ returncode 404, should be 200
Test URL unc://sharepoint.mysite.com/DavWWWRoot/sites/siteName/LibraryName/ OK - pingable

Is what I'm trying possible via the Google Mini?

  • ckoerner, this should be possible based upon the documentation provided at http://goo.gl/LjKo7 and http://goo.gl/0RqyV. What protocol are you using to map these drives on Mac OS X / Windows? – Riley May 30 '12 at 16:03

I had posted a link to a product that I wrote which got deleted (You can google to find it). Mounting via UNC is not the best approach. However, try using smb:// instead of unc for your pathes.

  • I had tried SMB but with the same problems. I'm thinking it has something to do with the server configuration and SharePoint conflicting. – ckoerner Sep 05 '12 at 20:49
