: Is /solr/update working? more importantly: does "/solr/" work in your browser and return anything useful? (nothing you've told us yet gives us anyway of knowning if solr is even up and running)
if 'http://localhost:8080/solr/' shows you the solr admin UI, and you are using the stock Solr 4.2 example configs, then http://localhost:8080/solr/update/extract should not give you a 404 error. if however you are using some other configs, it might not work unless those configs register a handler with the path /update/extract. Using the jetty setup provided with 4.2, and the example configs (from 4.2) I was able to index a sample PDF just fine using your curl command... hossman@frisbee:~/tmp$ curl "http://localhost:8983/solr/update/extract?literal.id=1&commit=true" -F "myfile=@stump.winners.san.diego.2013.pdf" <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <response> <lst name="responseHeader"><int name="status">0</int><int name="QTime">1839</int></lst> </response> : : Check solrconfig to see that /update/extract is configured as in the standard : Solr example. : : Does /solr/update/extract work for you using the standard Solr example? : : -- Jack Krupansky : : -----Original Message----- From: Nutan : Sent: Sunday, September 15, 2013 2:37 AM : To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org : Subject: requested url solr/update/extract not available on this server : : I am working on Solr 4.2 on Windows 7.
