Hello,
I'm trying to get Solr 4.4 up and running. I only want a single core
(for now). I'm running this with Tomcat on Apache. I have a couple of
different issues, which may be resolved by including a properly written
solr.xml file.
First, when I navigate to
http://{myhost}:8080/solr/
I get what looks like the admin page, but it says that there are solr
core initialization failures, and the links on the page just bring me
back to the same page.
Second, when I try to put a doc in the index using the PHP Pecl Solr
package from a page on my site, I get errors that indicate that Solr
can't see my schema.xml file, since Solr doesn't recognize some of the
fields that I've defined. I have my updated schema.xml file in
/etc/solr/collection1/conf/
This is the error I get:
*Fatal error*: Uncaught exception 'SolrClientException' with message
'Unsuccessful update request. Response Code 400. <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?> <response> <lst name="responseHeader"> <int
name="status">400</int> <int name="QTime">1</int> </lst> <lst
name="error"> <str name="msg">ERROR: [doc=334455] unknown field
'brand'</str> <int name="code">400</int> </lst> </response> ' in XXXXX:
SolrClient->addDocument(Object(SolrInputDocument)) #1 {main} thrown in
XXXXXX
And this is the relevant section of my schema.xml
<field name="brand" type="int" indexed="false" stored="true"
required="true"/>
After perusing the help pages, I see a couple of different pages that
indicate that because the directory structure has changed, Solr can no
longer find the config files and start a core without including a
solr.xml file with the proper settings. However, it's also my
understanding from other pages that we only need solr.xml if we want to
define multiple cores, and that a single core should work automatically.
So my question is: do I actually need to create a solr.xml file, and all
the accompanying files that go into specifying a core? (I'm not sure if
there are, but from some of the documentation it seems like there may
be.) Or am I pursuing an unnecessary solution to these problems, and
there's a simpler fix?
Thanks,
Brian
