Question

I have a Ubuntu setup with Luciene, Solr and a Rails application. I use Solr for indexing and searching data from the Rails application. This works fine, except sometimes.

I get this execption:

 Net::HTTPFatalError (500 "org/apache/lucene/index/memory/MemoryIndex  java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

I search for this and found, that I need the lucene-memory.jar, but this is set up on my server:

 $ locate lucene-memory
 /usr/share/java/lucene-memory-2.9.2.jar
 /usr/share/java/lucene-memory.jar

I don’t know why?!?

Answer 1

Try to put that jar to:

solr\VERSION\lib\

where VERSION might be 1.4.1 or whatever you have. The reason for that is to load that jar in a explicit way from solr.
