I'm copying this to solrmarc-tech in case anyone there has additional input.

What version of VuFind are you using?

When you get the "Solr index is offline" error, does running ./vufind.sh restart from the VUFIND_HOME directory fix things, or is truly necessary to rebuild the index?

Does this happen with a particular file, or does it seem to be at random?

Subject: [VuFind-General] Error importing

Hello everybody,

Sometimes I have to delete the solr/biblio/index directory and start importing again because I have this error.

An error has occurred

Solr index is offline.

This is the output that I have for the import shell.

Do you know which could be the cause of this?

Thanks a lot.

When you are seeing the connection error in VuFind, have you tried going directly to the Solr admin URL? (something like http://localhost:8080/solr/) It's possible there may be some more detailed error message available there explaining the problem.

Is it possible you have a hardware problem? A bad disk could physically corrupt the index periodically...

Does the problem always happen during/after indexing, or does it sometimes happen all by itself?

It might be worth considering an upgrade to 1.3 -- if the problem is somehow related to a bug in Solr or SolrMarc, upgrading will get you to much more current versions of the software... but of course I understand that upgrading is a lot of work! I'll be happy to keep trying to find clues for your current situation.

Hello Damian,

We are using Vufind 1.1.

First of all, I run "vufind.sh restart" but without effect then I decided to drop the index directory and import all the data again.

It seems to be random. 2 times per month more or less. But I can not find any condition to know why.

Thanks a lot,
