Solr core URL / Typo3

Goodday,

I've installed Solr 4.8 on a Debian server with the install-solr.sh provided by Typo3. After the script I added some extra cores to the solr.xml and the admin UI displays them, that they are running.

The thing is, Typo3 needs a url (path) to connect to solr. Everywhere on the internet they say http://{host}:{port}/solr/{core}. Whenever i put this in my browser (http://{host}:8080/solr/don_nl/) it'll display a 404.

Did i forget something when configurering solr?

Contents solr.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<solr persistent="false">
    <cores adminPath="/admin/cores">
        <core name="core_en" instanceDir="typo3cores" schema="english/schema.xml" dataDir="data/core_en" />
        <core name="core_nl" instanceDir="typo3cores" schema="dutch/schema.xml" dataDir="data/core_nl" />
        <core name="core_de" instanceDir="typo3cores" schema="dutch/schema.xml" dataDir="data/core_de" />
        <core name="don_nl" instanceDir="typo3cores" schema="dutch/schema.xml" dataDir="data/don_nl" />
        <core name="wow_nl" instanceDir="typo3cores" schema="dutch/schema.xml" dataDir="data/wow_nl" />
    </cores>
</solr>

EDIT

Whenever i go to : http://{host}:8080/solr/don_nl/select/?q=*%3A*, i get the following response.

{
  "responseHeader":{
    "status":0,
    "QTime":31,
    "params":{
      "q":"*:*"}},
  "response":{"numFound":0,"start":0,"docs":[]
  }}

Typo3 Solr configuration:

plugin.tx_solr {
    solr {
            scheme = http
            host = **********
            port = 8080
            path = /solr/don_nl/
        }

And this is the result (in Report).

My result in Typo3

Solution

  • The response you're getting from http://{host}:8080/solr/don_nl/select/?q=*%3A* seems to be OK, so the Solr URL (of the don_nl core) is http://{host}:8080/solr/don_nl - but there is nothing to see in the URL of the core, as it's just a base for the other services of the core. But you can use it for Typo3 configuration.

    If you want to see the Solr GUI, go to http://{host}:8080/solr/.
