Problems with mySolr Wiki

[Christian Klinger]

Hi Solr-Users,

i try to follow the instructions [1] from the solr-wiki
to build my custom solr server.

First i have created the directory-structure.

mySolr
--solr
  --conf
--schema.xml
--solrconfig.xml
--solr.xml <-- Where i can find this file?
--build.xml <-- copy & paste from the wiki

Than i run the command

$ ant mysolr.dist
Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED
/root/buildouts/mySolr/build.xml:10: Cannot find 
${env.SOLR_HOME}/build.xml imported from /root/buildouts/mySolr/build.xml


Total time: 0 seconds


Maybe someone have an tipp for me?

Thanks for your help.

solr.py problems with german "Umlaute"

[Christian Klinger]

Hi all,

i try to add/update documents with
the python solr.py api.

Everything works fine so far
but if i try to add a documents which contain
German Umlaute (ö,ä,ü, ...) i got errors.

Maybe someone has an idea how i could convert
my data?
Should i post this to JIRA?

Thanks for help.

Btw: I have no sitecustomize.py .

This is my script:
--
from solr import *
title="Übersicht"
kw = {'id':'12','title':title,'system':'plone','url':'http://www.google.de'}
c = SolrConnection('http://192.168.2.13:8080/solr')
c.add_many([kw,])
c.commit()
--

This is the error:

  File "t.py", line 5, in ?
c.add_many([kw,])
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/solr.py", line 596, in 
add_many

self.__add(lst, doc)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/solr.py", line 710, in __add
lst.append('%s' % (

Python Utilitys for Solr

[Christian Klinger]

Hi

i just play a bit with:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/solr/trunk/client/python/solr.py

Is it possible that this library is a bit out of date?


If i try to get the example running. I got a parese error from the 
result. Maybe the response format form Solr has changed?



If you can have a look at this method

  def doUpdateXML(self, request):
try:
  rsp = self.doPost(self.solrBase+'/update', request, self.xmlheaders)
  data = rsp.read()
finally:
  if not self.persistent: self.conn.close()
#fast path... don't parse XML if we recognize response as success
if not data.startswith('

0name="QTime">4



status =  ""
