syntax error: mismatched tag ?!

[Sarp Erdag]

Hello, I have been trying get haystack working with my project. Here
is the little error I am receiving. What do you think can be the
problem? Thank you

Sarp,


What version of pysolr are you using? You need either the official
pysolr (2.0.x) which can be installed off PyPi (easy_install/pip) or
the GitHub variant (http://github.com/toastdriven/pysolr).

I ask this because it looks like your pysolr is trying to send
(broken) XML, which is what the older variant of pysolr did. The new
version uses JSON and should be able to avoid this. This will also
have an impact on using the more complex aspects of Haystack, as the
old version didn't support a couple features.

I see I have pysolr 1.0 installed, now trying it with the latest
version...

Update pysolr, still getting the exact same error...

[Sarp Erdag]

I mean "updated"

[Collin Anderson]

I am also using pysolr from http://github.com/toastdriven/pysolr, and
I found that it was sending correct xml, but whenever solr sent back
an error message, the _extract_error method failed to correctly scrape
the html for the error message. It gave the same syntax error as
above.

I am using Solr 1.4-dev 767754 2009-04-23.

[Daniel Lindsley]

Sarp,


Are you using Solr 1.4 as well? I have not seen this issue on Solr
1.3 or below.


Daniel

[Sarp Erdag]

I am using solr 1.3, now I am gonna upgrade to 1.4

Hmm I just saw that the latest stable version of solr is 1.3, so I do
not have to upgrade I guess

[Sarp Erdag]

Any more ideas? I still have the problem :/

[Daniel Lindsley]

Sarp,


Sorry, I'm not sure what to tell you. I've never encountered that
error before in the course of indexing literally hundreds of thousands
of records with data of all types ranging from Unicode strings to XML.
Without knowing what your SearchIndexes look like, what your data
consists of and what exactly is being indexed, I can't be of much
help. The error you're getting is being emitted from Solr (comes back
as HTML so pysolr tries to parse the HTML and yank out the contents of
the <h1>) but your ElementTree is failing to parse the HTML due to
invalid HTML (maybe?). You could try manually poking at your Solr
instance with data through a browser and seeing what comes back.

I personally just modified pysolr to save the response to a file
before it attempts to parse the error, so I can view the error in a
browser instead.
