"When I use the Admin UI (v5.3.0), and check the spellcheck.build box" Out of interest, where is this option within the Admin UI? I can't find anything like it in mine...
Do you get the same issue by submitting the build command directly with something like this instead: http://localhost:8983/solr/<core>/ELspell?spellcheck.build=true ? It'll be reasonably obvious if the dictionary has actually built or not by the file size of your speller store: /localapps/dev/EventLog/solr/EventLog2/data/spFile Otherwise, (temporarily) try adding... <str name="buildOnStartup">true</str> ...to your spellchecker search component config, you might find it'll log a more useful error message that way.

I'm new to Solr Spellchecking... I have yet to get it to work. Attached is a snippet from my solrconfig.xml pertaining to my spellcheck efforts. When I use the Admin UI (v5.3.0), and check the spellcheck.build box, I get a NullPointerException stacktrace. The actual stacktrace is at the bottom of the attachment. My spellcheck.q is the following: Solr will yuse suggestions frum both. The FileBasedSpellChecker.build method is clearly the problem (determined from the stack trace), but I cannot figure out why. Maybe I don't need to do a build on it...(?) If I don't, the spell-checker finds no mispelled words. yet, "yuse" and "frum" are not stand-alone words in /usr/share/dict/words. /usr/share/dict/words exists and has global read permissions. I displayed the file and see no issues (i.e., one word per line) although some "words" are a string of digits, but that shouldn't matter. Does my snippet give any clues about why I would get this error? Is my stripped down configuration missing something, perhaps?
