Hello,
For checking if Solr is up and running you could ping it on the following URL: http://coconuts:8080/solr/admin/ping/?echoParams=none <response> <lst name="responseHeader"> <int name="status">0</int> <int name="QTime">3</int> </lst> <str name="status">OK</str> </response> This should always return OK, if not, if probably down - Markus Jelsma Buyways B.V.
