Recently the search crawler stopped working on my MOSS installation. The message in the crawl log is
Access is denied. Check that the Default Content Access Account has access to this content, or add a crawl rule to crawl this content. (The item was deleted because it was either not found or the crawler was denied access to it.)
- The default content account is an admin on the site collection that I am trying to crawl.
 - Almost every result for this error on Google tells me to add the DisableLoobackCheck registry key with a value of 1. I have done this and rebooted and the error continues.
 - The "Do not allow Basic Authentication" checkbox in my crawl rule screen is unchecked.
 
Is there anything else that could be causing this error? Something with file system or database permissions maybe?
