A full crawl cannot start until the current

Question

I am trying to activate PDF search in SPF 2010. I have followed the KB and done the following:

-Installed the Ifilter 64bit.

-Then added the pdf image and xml entries on 14 Hive.

-After that I have added added regedit entries and have run the vbs script.

-Now when I am trying to run the full crawl stsadm command it is showing error that "it cannot start until the current incremental crawl completes or stopped"

Let me know Thanks.

Hi you need to do the following:

Disable loopbackcheck and try again: Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK

In Registry Editor, locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value. (In Win 2008, its DWORD 32bit)

Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER.

Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify.

In the Value data box, type 1 and then click OK.

Quit Registry Editor.

You may need to restart your server.

EDIT

once you have done the above you need to carry on with the KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2518465

then do the full crawl:

stsadm –o spsearch –action fullcrawlstart

To make sure its working and has crawled you need to performe a search for a pdf document. You should see any new pdf's in the search list!

Hope it helps :)
