Installation woes
Hello, I am trying to install another copy of solr on a server. I have done this many times before, but am running into errors now and I am not sure what is causing them. I unzipped a copy of 1.1.0 and placed the .war file into tomcat. Then I created the solr directory with my bin, data, conf directories. When I restart tomcat (from the solr directory) and go to the Solr admin website everything looks fine. But, when I pull up the statistics page, I only have information in the Query Handlers box, the rest are empty. When I click on ping, I see a 500 error from tomcat. What am I forgetting to do? Thanks Andrew

Did you point solr to the solr_home (containing your bin, data, and conf directories)? Or do you rely on the default of $CWD/solr? If that's not it, check all the tomcat log files for the first exception you see. -Yonik
RE: Installation woes
I had a problem like that when I blew away an index by deleting the index directory instead of its parent the data directory; it seemed that if Solr saw the data directory, it assumed the index was there. Removing the data directory and letting Solr create it seemed to fix the problem. (Or maybe something else got fixed at the same time, hard to say).

Re: Installation woes
Argh! Thanks Yonik for pointing out the log files, duh! I had a malformed line in my schema.xml. Nice feature to add down the line, although I know there is a lot of work going into the admin interface so who knows if it is already thought of. Schema Debugger? Maybe one day I will dig into the code guts and try to contribute.

I recently posted: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-179 It stops everything and displays the errors on every url if there are configuration errors.
