    <p>Thanks for the new input!</p> <p>So I came back from my weekend and I wanted to go through your pointers and try every one and then report back about how they didn't work and then post the results that I got. Funny thing happened, though.</p> <p>I went to my Indexer (servername5) and I tried to connect to Central Admin and the main portal from Internet Explorer. Neither worked. So I went into IIS on ther Indexer to try to browse to the main portal from within IIS. That didn't work either and I received an error telling me that something else was using that port. So I saw my old website from the previous build and I deleted it from IIS along with the corresponding Application Pool. Then I started the App Pool for the web site from the new build and browsed to the website. Success. Then I browsed to the website from the browser on my own PC. Success again. Then I ran a crawl by the full URL, not the servername, like so:</p> <p><a href="http://sharepoint.portal.fake.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://sharepoint.portal.fake.com</a></p> <p>Success again. It crawled the entire portal including the subsites just like I wanted. The "Items in index" populated quickly and I could tell I was rolling.</p> <p>I still cannot access the Central Admin site hosted on servername4 from servername5. I'm not sure why not but I don't know that it matters much at this point.</p> <p>Where does this leave me? What was the fix?</p> <p>I'm still not sure. Maybe it was the rebuild. Maybe as soon as I rebuilt the server farm I had everything I needed to get it to work but it just wouldn't work because of the previous website still in IIS. (It's funny how sloppy a SharePoint un-install can be. Manual deletion of content databases, web sites, and application pools seem necessary and that probably shouldn't be the case.)</p> <p>In any event, it's working now on my "test" farm so the key is to get it working on the production farm. I'm hopeful that it won't be so difficult after this experience.</p> <p>Thanks for the help from everyone!</p>
