[Amir Shaheen]

I have installed Elastica on my machine

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Elastica_Exception_Client' with message 'Couldnt connect to host, ElasticSearch down?' in D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\lib\Elastica\Transport\Http.php:117 Stack trace: #0 D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\lib\Elastica\Request.php(213): Elastica_Transport_Http->exec(Array) #1 D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\lib\Elastica\Client.php(379): Elastica_Request->send() #2 D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\lib\Elastica\Index.php(368): Elastica_Client->request('twitter/', 'DELETE', Array, Array) #3 D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\lib\Elastica\Index.php(127): Elastica_Index->request('', 'DELETE') #4 D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\lib\Elastica\Index.php(173): Elastica_Index->delete() #5 D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\index.php(49): Elastica_Index->create(Array, true) #6 {main} thrown in D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\lib\Elastica\Transport\Http.php on line 11

Elastica is only the client for elasticsearch. to start elasticsearch, go to elasticsearch.org and download the server

[Amir Shaheen]

I have downloaded it set JAVA_HOME to JRE and classpath to elasticsearch but it seems to not working

[Amir Shaheen]

How can i configure "ElasticSearch Server " on Windows7 for using Elastica

[Nicolas Ruflin]

is elasticsearch running?

if elasticsearch is on the same machine, the default configuration works.

[Amir Shaheen]

yes it is on same machine but not working

Steps:
1- Put elasticsearch directory in a drive
2- Add its path to environment variables
3- Set JAVE_HOME path
4- But when i execute bin/elasticsearch.bat from command line it does not do anything 
D:\elasticsearch\bin\elasticsearch.bat
it shows error
The system cannot find the path specified. 

[Nicolas Ruflin]

ok,as this problem seems to be related to elasticsearch and not elastica, I would recommend you to post in the elasticsearch google group:

http://groups.google.com/group/elasticsearch

when i ran the elastica it throws  the exception can u tell me which is missing in the configuration
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Elastica_Exception_Client' with message 'Couldnt connect to host, ElasticSearch down?' in D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\lib\Elastica\Transport\Http.php:117 Stack trace: #0 D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\lib\Elastica\Request.php(213): Elastica_Transport_Http->exec(Array) #1 D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\lib\Elastica\Client.php(379): Elastica_Request->send() #2 D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\lib\Elastica\Index.php(368): Elastica_Client->request('twitter/', 'DELETE', Array, Array) #3 D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\lib\Elastica\Index.php(127): Elastica_Index->request('', 'DELETE') #4 D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\lib\Elastica\Index.php(173): Elastica_Index->delete() #5 D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\index.php(49): Elastica_Index->create(Array, true) #6 {main} thrown in D:\xampp\htdocs\surch\lib\Elastica\Transport\Http.php on line 117

[Nicolas Ruflin]

nothing is missing in the config. the problem is, as mentioned before, that the elasticsearch server is not running

[Amir Shaheen]

Now elasticsearch server working. Now how can implement search using elastica that display some results on the screen??

[Nicolas Ruflin]

Hi Amir

Sorry for the delayed answers. I'm traveling at the moment and don't have an internet connection all the time.

Did you check the basic documentation for Elastica?
