Setting up django-haystack for the first time - No module named 'haystack.backends.solr_backends'

[David Jones]

I have been following a tutorial from 'Django by example' that introduces Solr and Haystack and run into a problem. I have made the necessary changes to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py and also added the following:

HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = {

    'default': {

        'ENGINE': 'haystack.backends.solr_backends.SolrEngine',

        'URL': 'http://127.0.0.1:8938/solr/blog'

    }, 

}

then I run

python manage.py build_solr_schema

and I get this error

ImportError: No module named 'haystack.backends.solr_backends'

this is my search_indexes.py file

   from haystack import indexes

   from .models import Post

   class PostIndex(indexes.SearchIndex, indexes.Indexable):

   text = indexes.CharField(document=True, use_template=True)

   publish = indexes.DateTimeField(model_attr='publish')

   def get_model(self):

       return Post

   def index_queryset(self, using=None):

       return self.get_model().published.all()

when I run django shell Im able to import haystack just fine but when I run the following:

from haystack.query import SearchQuerySet

sqs = SearchQuerySet().all()

sqs.count()

I get the exact same error right after entering the 2nd line.

I have tried restarting Solr, still doesn't work.

I have Solr working fine locally and have created a new core within the admin and have all the files setup here and have all the required files copied over from the example folder that comes with the install:

/usr/local/opt/solr/server/solr/blog/conf

what am I missing here? thanks

EDIT: Id like to add that I have installed django-haystack and pysolr with a venv but both show up if I do pip freeze. Solr was installed via Homebrew.

'http://127.0.0.1:8938/solr/blog'

the port should be 8983. have you checked that?

and is solr running? can you see the solr page in http://127.0.0.1:8983?
