Pretty much I'm trying to deploy a Rails application that uses Sunspot. I've followed https://github.com/outoftime/sunspot/wiki/Configure-Solr-on-Ubuntu,-the-quickest-way, but when running the application I get the following:
Connection refused - connect(2)
This indicates that it can't access the server properly, and I've been googling and trying things for hours, but to no avail.
Any ideas?
It turns out that in the end, after all the troubleshooting, the problem was just the port number in the config file (in some drawn out way) -- i.e. Sunspot.config.solr.url.
