SolrError: Failed to connect to server

[Fendy Pierre]

Whenever I try to view the products, they're not being displayed. Getting the error: 

Failed to query Solr using '*:*': Failed to connect to server at 'http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr/select/?q=%2A%3A%2A&fl=%2A+score&df=text&start=0&rows=1&spe

Any idea? 

[SammyJ]

That is because you are trying yo use solr without running the solr's server you must run the command java -jar start.jar in the background.Follow the docs Here.

[Fendy Pierre]

I followed the instructions but got the following error: 

at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

Caused by: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Schema Parsing Failed: unknown field 'id'.

[SammyJ]

OK just download this schema.zip from here: github and then extract and copy the schema.xml to solr-4.7.2/example/solr/collection1/conf/  over here there is a schema.xml which you must replace, then go to solr-4.7.2/example and run java -jar start.jar

Thank you SammyJ, this schema.xml file seems to work.. I can start the solr server.

But when I run oscar, I get this warning:

C:\Users\CHUWIL~1\Envs\oscar\lib\site-packages\haystack\query.py:373: UserWarning: The model <class 'catalogue.models.Product'> is not registered for search.

  warnings.warn('The model %r is not registered for search.' % (model,))

Do I need to add catalogue.models.Product to the schema.xml?? 

[Fendy Pierre]

I'm not getting any error anymore but items are still not displaying. Also when trying to register a new user , I get an error message that the targeted machine is actively refusing.

[pythan]

I get also no items displayed, and sometimes I get a timeout from solr (e.g. when I use the search).

I am also not sure about my search_indexes.py. I modified it, and now I cannot use excluded_indexes anymore...

[Fendy Pierre]

Ah I see, I'm still getting adjusted to Oscar so I haven't made any modifications outside of the doc. Not until it behaves as expected. 

[pythan]

I guess I found my fault.

I had to rebuild the index WHILE the solr server is running!

Hope that can help someone. :)

[Fendy Pierre]

Are your results populating now? 

[pythan]

Yes they do. And now I got the "refine your search" option on the searchpage.

At this point, I'm trying to apply filtering by attributes..

[Fendy Pierre]

Same here, worked! Except Images aren't loading

[pythan]

Great! Do you want to refine your search by custom values?

[Fendy Pierre]

Yes! Can you email me? fendy...@gmail.com I had a few other questions since it seems like we're both in the initial development stage.

Thanks alot SammyJ!
