Solr-based search return nothing

[ibtanhe]

Hi all!

Ran a fully working 3.4d-installation earlier and upgraded recently to 4.0a (community) coupled to a
standalone MySQL-installation on a RHEL-6.1 box (x86_64).

Backup/restore was performed according to the "Cold-backup" recommendations and running searches
based on index.subsystem.name=lucene works great! The customer, however, wants Solr and I've tried
to get that up and running, unsuccessfully.

Solr seems per default to be tracking the repo (enable.alfresco.tracking=true) for both Alfresco and
Archive and the only modification in solrcore.properties made is "alfresco.secureComms=none" as I
had (and still have) some SSL-related errors in catalina.out and I wanted to be able to debug the queries
submitted via HTTP easier.

What confuses me more is that the Solr-admin-web -> SCHEMA BROWSER reports that the indices
contain some kind of data and I'm not sure what that means.

Please let me know which additional information would be helpful in determining the cause of this.

I am working on the same installation. I have had no issues getting a standard install of Alfresco 4.0 up and running with an empty (no migration) repository. Since we were running Alfresco over SSL before on 3.4d do any of you think there are need for more SSL-related configuration of Solr then? There is a file in the alf_data/solr folder about setting up keystores. Is it needed to follow all these steps if you are running over SSL but will work fine with a default install running over HTTP?

Hi

Did you configure the repo side not to use SSL?
You also need to rip out the SSL stuff from web.xml.

A bit of a pain at the moment.

Hi,

is there any more detailed instruction on adjustments needed to setup with  alfresco.secureComms=none?

Thanks

Hi

Running in this mode should be covered on the Wiki.
I have done some nudging ….
