Alfresco Community 201707 and Search(Solr6) not working

[hdbhandari]

I have installed Alfresco from installer "alfresco-community-installer-201707-win-x64.exe" and upgraded solr to version 6 with "alfresco-search-services-1.1.0.zip" and done below config in alfresco-global.properties:

index.subsystem.name=solr6
solr.host=localhost
solr.secureComms=none
solr.port=8983

and getting following error:

I am not sure from where it is looking for solr/collection1.

I am running solr on default port 8983, and it is running fine. But not indexing is happening.

Thanks.

Did you follow the instructions to install SOLR 6 from distribution ZIP?

https://docs.alfresco.com/sie/tasks/solr-install-withoutSSL.html

[hdbhandari]

Hi, Thanks for replying.

Yes I have followed the steps from given URL.

Except:

1. I have not created any separate Solr user for it.
2. Not done this: add -Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true to the startup parameters.
3. I am unable to get to step 7 of the guide which is:  Go to Admin Console > Repository Services > Search Service and verify that:
   1. You see the Solr 6 option in the Search Service In Use list.
   2. Under Main (Workspace) Store Tracking Status, the Approx Transactions to Index is 0.
   3. 

Also in Solr, no documents are indexed yet.

Please point out what I missed.

Can you inspect your solr.log file to see if something is wrong?

[hdbhandari]

To get the latest logs I stopped both Alfresco and Solr and cleaned all log files, After starting both now I am checking in D:\projects\ALF201707\solr.log and this file is empty even after 10-15 minutes.

I checked in solr.in.cmd and found this:

set SOLR_LOGS_DIR=..\..\logs

Not sure where Solr logs are configured.

Finally I am posting a screen shot from Solr UI.

Now sure, why and what connection refused.

Is your Alfresco repository running in http://localhost:8080/alfresco?

If not, use solrcore.properties to set the right host and port.

[hdbhandari]

No, it was not. Thanks a lot for pointing it out, I didn't had a clue about it. 

Search is working now, Thanks a lot!!

Can u please tell what u did. Mine solr6 is also not working.

[hdbhandari]

Hi, I have updated Alfresco instance to run on port 8090 and we need to make the same change in Solr6 core properties file, to let solr know, where the Alfresco is running.

properties files I have updated:

1. solr6\solrhome\alfresco\conf\solrcore.properties
2. solr6\solrhome\archive\conf\solrcore.properties

Property:

alfresco.port=8090

HTH!
