Most likely, you are trying to send a plain text file to Solr, instead of the XML that it is expecting. Please see http://lucene.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html#Indexing+Data for an example of how to index XML files to Solr via a POST. That references files in example/exampledocs/ in your Solr source code directory that can serve as examples. E.g., see example/exampledocs/solr.xml. You can try first to see that you can get the built-in Solr examples running, by following the instructions from the beginning of http://lucene.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html. Once, that is done, and if you describe the format of your log files, and what data you want to retain from them, people can help you further. Regards, Gora
