Hi all,

this exception fills catalina.out since it is thrown by a scheduled job:

Any ideas how to resolve it? I run a Tomcat SSL connector on port 18443, the SSL connection works.

I updated the solr port in alfesco-global.properties, no idea if this makes sense though:


### Solr indexing ###
index.subsystem.name=solr
dir.keystore=${dir.root}/keystore
solr.port=18443
‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Best regards,
Andreas

This message indicates that the Alfresco SOLR server (=> CoreTracker) cannot connect back into to the Alfresco Repository server in order to poll for (changes that require) indexing. I assume you're using Community 4.0a - if so, is this a fresh install and did you use the installer to setup your system ?

Hi Jan,

This message indicates that the Alfresco SOLR server (=> CoreTracker) cannot connect back into to the Alfresco Repository server in order to poll for (changes that require) indexing.

thanks! Since the message is "connection refused", I assume that SOLR uses the wrong URI/port. Maybe the reason is that I use a custom port? Do I need to configure this somewhere?

I assume you're using Community 4.0a

Yes.

if so, is this a fresh install and did you use the installer to setup your system ?

Yes, I only customized the Tomcat ports and the Kerberos authentication settings.

Best regards,
Andreas

I see a lot of references to the port in the webapp config files. Maybe I need to reinstall Alfresco and configure the port initially?

I changed the ports back to 8080/8443. Now the connection seems to succeed, but the certificate check fails:

unable to find valid certification path to requested target‍

Do I have to add the Tomcat certificate to the SOLR keystore? Is it this configuration entry?


### Solr indexing ###
index.subsystem.name=solr
dir.keystore=${dir.root}/keystore
‍‍‍‍‍

Where is the ${dir.root}?
What is the name of the keystore file?

TIA and best regards,
Andreas

IIUC Alfresco tries to connect as a client to the SOLR server via SSL. Maybe I have to add the Tomcat cert to the Tomcat truststore so that it can connect to itself. I'll try this and report back.

The installer is not substituting the SSL port property for Solr.  You can do this manually in two locations within alf_data/solr:

archive-SpacesStore/conf/solrcore.properties
workspace-SpacesStore/conf/solrcore.properties

Also the port number should be set in tomcat/conf/server.xml in te connector with all the keystore parameters.

Paul.

Hi,

I'm facing the same issue….

Nothing special in the installation, I used the keystore and truststore provided by Alfresco and followed the instructions on HowToSetUpSolr.txt, but I'm getting the same ConnectionRefused error thrown by the tracker.

I'm working with Alfresco Enterprise 4 Beta and have both under the same Tomcat instance…

Any clue on that?
