Question

I am new to Solr, after installing it in ubuntu 8.10, when I was trying exampledocs to index , as per this link, I got this error:

HTTP ERROR: 404 m

Answer 1

You probably have a multi-core setup and haven't included the core in the URL. e.g. instead of requesting http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=*%3A* you have to request http://localhost:8983/solr/MyCoreName/select/?q=*%3A*
