Error creating archivesspace core

[Johnnie W Adams]

Hi, folks,

     I've been following these instructions and am frustrated. When I get to this step:

Now create the core:
bin/solr create -c archivesspace -d archivesspace

     I consistently fail with this error:

ERROR: Error CREATEing SolrCore 'archivesspace': Unable to create core [archivesspace] Caused by: solr.ICUCollationField

     I consistently succeed by leaving off the -d archivesspace, but that seems like cheating.

     Any thoughts?

Thanks,

     John A

Oh, d'oh--I'm using solr 8.11.3

[Blake Carver]

8.11.3 should be fine. That error probably comes from configs that are messed up or just in some way. Can you make sure you only have the 4 files in your config sets and they are from the 3.5 release version only?

Hi, Blake,

     I have exactly four files in the server/solr/configset/archivesspace/conf directory and they are all taken directly from the current git repo.

Thanks,

I had that error...

I can't remember exactly what it was, but it had something to do with the pathing of your solr core...

This is the error that I had..

"msg": "Status 404 when trying to verify http://localhost:8983/solr/archivesspaceServer response:\n{\n \"responseHeader\":{\n \"status\":404,\n \"QTime\":2},\n \"error\":{\n \"metadata\":[\n \"error-class\",\"org.apache.solr.common.SolrException\",\n \"root-error-class\",\"org.apache.solr.common.SolrException\"],\n \"msg\":\"Can not find: schema.xml [/opt/solr-8.11.1/server/solr/archivesspace/conf/schema.xml]\",\n \"code\":404}}\n",

Look in the archivesspace.out log...

Sorry that I can't be more specific.

Good luck.

I can tell you what our problem was on a local ArchivesSpace instance.   I thing the solrconfig.xml that’s included in the 3.5 release is really , or partially meant for Solr 9 , which ArcvivesSpace documentation says isn’t supported.     

I got around this issue by using the schema.xml in 3.5 in GitHub , but the solrconfig.xml from 3.4.  , which is consistent with 8.x versions of Solr 

I had this exact same error message and also found this very frustrating with a local install

Thus I am not using the configset exactly as it is in this release

Hi, Henry,

     Going back to the 3.4.x branch and getting that file seems to have fixed me up--thanks!

All the best,

Hi everyone,

 

This is strange, because we’ve confirmed that the solrconfig included with the 3.5.0 release is correct and there are many successful ArchivesSpace installs out there in the wild to prove it.

 

John – though it sounds like you have something that’s working now, this probably isn’t the best way forward. I’ll put a technical support ticket in for you to diagnose further what may be going on. You’ll see another message to you separately about that.

Hi, folks,

     After a little time away, I've gotten back to this. I'm now using ArchivesSpace 3.5.1 and Solr 9.4.1 and am back to getting the error I got originally:

[root@aspace3 svc_archivesspace]# sudo -u svc_archivesspace solr/bin/solr create -c archivesspace -d archivesspace

ERROR: Error from server at http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=archivesspace&instanceDir=archivesspace&wt=javabin&version=2: Error CREATEing SolrCore 'archivesspace': Unable to create core [archivesspace] Caused by: solr.ICUCollationField

     Your thoughts are welcome!

Thanks,

     John A

Hi John,

Replying to the list in case other people encounter this error as they upgrade: I was able to fix this by adding this line to my solrconfig.xml file:

<lib dir="${solr.install.dir}/modules/analysis-extras/lib/" regex=".*\.jar" />

Note that this is, as far as I can tell, a Solr 9 requirement only; v3.5.1 runs fine on Solr 8 so I didn't need to do this until we upgraded to ArchivesSpace 4.0.0.  -k

Yes, thank you Kevin for that snippet!

I spent today working on getting the v4.0.0-RC1 version running locally. This was a key piece in getting it to work.

Does this mean that the solrconfig.xml file needs to be updated before the final release of 4.0.0? I tried looking for JIRA issues and GitHub issues referencing that file but found nothing.

Hi all,

indeed enabling the "analysis-extras" is a requirement to run archivesspace with Solr 9.

The currently recommended way is by using an environment variable as documented here: https://docs.archivesspace.org/provisioning/solr/#setup-the-environment

I have created a jira task: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2220 to work on better documenting (or maybe making it easier to have this module enabled) to avoid this confusion in the future. 

Thanks for reporting this and sorry for the trouble! 

Thimios

[Josh Conrad]

According to https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/upgrade-notes/major-changes-in-solr-9.html

"<lib/> directives have been made into an "opt-in" feature in Solr 9.8 and must be explicitly enabled if desired (using a system property or environment variable like -Dsolr.config.lib.enabled=true) If not explicitly enabled, Solr will log a warning but otherwise quietly ignore any <lib/> tags in configsets."

So, I needed to start Solr 9.8.0 using:

solr-9.8.0/bin/solr start -Dsolr.config.lib.enabled=true

[Derrick Xu]

Thanks Josh, I can confirm that fix works with Solr 9.8.0. The snippet that Kevin provided was already in the solrconfig.xml file.

[Thimios Dimopulos]

Thanks for the update. It seems that lib directives are going to be entirely deprecated in solr 10, so we have to revert back to using an environment variable to enable the analysis-extras module:

Apologies if this is documented somewhere and I just overlooked it, but is that environment variable SOLR_MODULES=analysis-extras ?

thanks!  -k
