Ok, so I have a simple rails application and now i’m trying to implement sunspot for search capabilities. However, after I’ve generated the config file with rails g sunspot_rails:install and after I’ve started the server and it has made the solr-dir in my rails app-dir and i run bundle exec rake sunspot:solr:reindex I get the following trace:

cakism@saraswati:~/railscode/calendar$ bundle exec rake sunspot:solr:reindex --trace
** Invoke sunspot:solr:reindex (first_time)
** Invoke sunspot:reindex (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute sunspot:reindex
Skipping progress bar: for progress reporting, add gem 'progress_bar' to your Gemfile
rake aborted!
RSolr::Error::Http - 500 Internal Server Error
Error: Severe errors in solr configuration.

Check your log files for more detailed information on what may be wrong.

If you want solr to continue after configuration errors, change:

 <abortOnConfigurationError>false</abortOnConfigurationError>

in null

I am specially curious about this:

If you want solr to continue after configuration errors, change:

 <abortOnConfigurationError>false</abortOnConfigurationError>

in null

Why would it say in null? Other posts with the same problem as I have has specified the solr/conf/solrconfig.xml, and also, when I change it to false, nothing else happens.

If I remove the searchable block from my model, I don’t get any error (but I suppose that’s because it doesn’t try to do anything then)

I’ve run the config file through an XML validator, and it says it’s bad start-tag name at 2<-1 5<-2 6<90%.
However, even if I remove the lines which then gives a valid XML, restart solr, and try to reindex, I still get the same error.

I’m starting to get desperate here, so any help is greatly appriciated!

    I was having a very similar problem and solved it by

    • stopping all running solr processes
    • removing the solr folder
    • turn off/restart the computer
    • gem uninstall all related gems
    • bundle install
    • start solr
    • reindex solr
