Error
SharePoint Crawl Log Error: The SharePoint item being crawled returned an error when attempting to download the item for example .aspx files
Solution :
- Open Regedit on your search server/s
- Navigate to this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice Server14.0SearchGlobalGathering Manager
- Change Value “UserAgent” from “MSIE 4.01”to“MSIE 8.0”
- Restart the SharePoint Search Service.
- Open a SharePoint PowerShell
Get-SPSessionStateService
If this returns false then we need to deploy one
Enable-SPSessionStateService -DatabaseName “NameOfDatabase”
Now lets go back and re-run that crawl
