Answer 1

Did someone check in the ./solr directory with your project?

If so, delete it, run rails g sunspot_rails:install and then start your server again.

This one's bit me twice now.

Answer 2

@Marko Taponen's solution worked for me for a while, but now I'm back, because this problem reared its ugly head again, this time in my rpsec/capybara tests.

Here's what fixed it for me:

On the command line:

bundle exec rake sunspot:solr:stop

After doing this, I ran my tests again, and it worked.!

Answer 3

development:
  solr:
    hostname: localhost
    port: 8982
    log_level: INFO
    path: /solr
  auto_index_callback: after_commit
  auto_remove_callback: after_commit

Answer 4

Also check if schema.xml is loaded from your gem file or from your solr directory in root of the app! You might end up changing schema.xml several times, but it would be the wrong file that is loaded.

Answer 5

I've been looking forever for the answer to this issue, and to understand why the SOLR Admin page was crashing. Here's the solution for this problem when upgrading sunspot solr from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0:

Add this entry to your development section of the sunspot.yml: solr_home: solr like the follwoing example ...

development:
  solr:
    hostname: localhost
    port: 8982
    log_level: INFO
    path: /solr/development
    solr_home: solr

Answer 6

I came across the same issue when upgrading to sunspot 2.1.0 from 2.0.0.

I resolved this by adding following line to sunspot.yml (under config in my rails app) on the development: block (maybe one is needed for test and production )

    solr_home: solr

So my SOLR installation is under rails-app-dir/solr and the configuration there under conf.
