Symptoms

After installing Coveo for Sitecore or another package (Media Framework Brightcove, for example), the Indexing Manager is reporting an error page like this one:

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.34212

Cause

The current Sitecore configuration contains incorrect settings. For example, the Brightcove Framework specifically uses the Lucene field definitions, while the Coveo fields are defined as the default configuration.

Resolution

Depending on your current configuration, two solutions exist.

Validate that all references to contentSearch/configuration/defaultIndexConfiguration are only for the Coveo indexes. Every other index should use the preferred indexing solution only. For example, the Brightcove index which looks like this:

  <!--
    DefaultIndexConfiguration - SC 7.0 Update 1
    defaultIndexConfiguration - SC 7.0 Update 2
  -->
  <configuration ref="contentSearch/configuration/defaultIndexConfiguration | contentSearch/configuration/DefaultIndexConfiguration | contentSearch/indexConfigurations/defaultLuceneIndexConfiguration">
    <IndexAllFields>true</IndexAllFields>
    <fieldMap ref="contentSearch/configuration/defaultIndexConfiguration/fieldMap | contentSearch/configuration/DefaultIndexConfiguration/fieldMap | contentSearch/indexConfigurations/defaultLuceneIndexConfiguration/fieldMap">
      <fieldNames hint="raw:AddFieldByFieldName">
      ...

should instead look like this:

  <!--
    DefaultIndexConfiguration - SC 7.0 Update 1
    defaultIndexConfiguration - SC 7.0 Update 2
  -->
  <configuration ref="contentSearch/indexConfigurations/defaultLuceneIndexConfiguration">
    <IndexAllFields>true</IndexAllFields>
    <fieldMap ref="contentSearch/indexConfigurations/defaultLuceneIndexConfiguration/fieldMap">
      <fieldNames hint="raw:AddFieldByFieldName">
      ...
