Question

I’m trying to upload Solr index from a CSV on a windows box to my Solr server on Linux. Using cygwin, my curl command look like this:

curl --max-time 3600 http://10.xxx.xxx.xxx/solr/update/csv -F commit=true -F stream.url=file://10.xxx.xxx.xxx/Users/testdata/sample.csv -F stream.contentType=text/plain -F fieldnames=partId,desc,category

The csv file in question is only about 4K in size, but I still get a connection timed out error. These computers are on the same network, with no firewalls or proxy in the way. The solr server is running on Tomcat 7 and I’ve increased the connectionTimeOut=3600000, but still not helping. Any ideas? Thanks.

additionally this is the error:

>HTTP Status 500 - Connection timed out

again thanks for your help.

Try this just to see if you can get it to update the data.

curl 'http://10.xxx.xxx.xxx/solr/update/csv?fieldnames=partId,desc,category' -H 'Content-type:text/plain; charset=utf-8' --data-binary [file_name]

This is a little simpler command than what you were using and may help identify what is going wrong. You may also want to check the Tomcat logs (/var/log/tomcat7) to see if there are any meaningful errors.
