Answer 1

With reference to @professormeowingtons, you don't have to delete entire solr directory as you might not want to delete your solr configurations like schema.xml and solrconfig.xml. The reason you are getting error might be because of corrupted indexes, what you can do is delete 'solr/env' i.e. solr/development or/and solr/data/development and restart solr server.

 1. rake sunspot:solr:stop

 2. rm -rf solr/development (Delete your solr/development directory)

 3. rm -rf solr/data/development

 4. rake sunspot:solr:start

 5. rake sunspot:solr:reindex

If problem still persists, rollback your recent changes because you might have added some wrong configurations.
