Hello,

localhost Solr is working. I have followed the instructions. Like  cp -R [dspace]/solr/* [solr]/server/solr/configsets # Make sure everything is owned by the system user who owns Solr # Usually this is a 'solr' user account # See https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/9_8/deployment-guide/taking-solr-to-production.html#create-the-solr-user chown -R solr:solr [solr]/server/solr/configsets

 However, I have this error. Can someone point out what causes this issue?
rg/dspace/app/rest/configuration/ActuatorConfiguration.class]: Failed to instantiate [org.dspace.app.rest.health.SolrHealthIndicator]: Factory method 'solrSearchCoreHealthIndicator' threw exception with message: Failed to contact Solr at http://localhost:8983/solr/search :  Server refused connection at: http://localhost:8983/solr/search

Hi,

Is the SOLR service is running? (systemctl status solrservice solr status or something similar depending on how you installed it)

If it is, you could try to access the Solr Admin UI dashboard http://localhost:8983/solr and if you can, check if the cores are loading properly.

Also, since it looks like you're using Solr 9.8, you should verify if you specified "-Dsolr.config.lib.enabled=true" in your SOLR_OPTS environment variable (check docs here)

Regards,
Agustin.
