SYMPTOMS
Crawling a SQL Server database fails with the following error in the Gatherer log:

, "PRTH_E_ACCESS_DENIED: -2147216891".



RESOLUTION
If the permissions are incorrect in the SiteServer/Knowledge directory, do the following:
 * 1) Go to the IIS snap-in.
 * 2) Bring up the Default Web Site.
 * 3) Make sure the Directory Security is set to Basic (Clear Text) and Windows NT Challenge and Response

Note: Only set Windows NT Challenge and Response if this is a Windows NT (Intranet) instance.

Also, Make sure the SQL Server account set during the Catalog Build Wizard is valid and has the correct permissions.

NOTE: SQL or ODBC compliant crawls only exist in the Search Web Administration interface.

Go to:

http://%3Ccomputer name>/siteserver/Admin/Knowledge/Search/Default.asp

where is the Search server where the catalog will be created.
