[ckan-dev] Solr problem when installing latest ckan

Tue Apr 16 14:13:21 UTC 2013

Hi all.

Have installed ckan on an Ubuntu server (12.04), from this link:

http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/install-from-source.html (2.1 i guess)

Everything installed fine. And I can connect to the front page of ckan.
There are two problems though.

When I'm logged in as a sysadmin (in a web browser) I can't access
ckan-admin/authz. I just get page not found. Any suggestions?

An other problem is that it seems like I have a problem with solr. When I
uncomment (enable) solr_url in development.ini, the front page just says:

Server Error
An internal server error occurred

When I look in apache error.log I get the following message:

I can use curl to connect to http://localhost:8983/solr/ and I get a
welcome message, so in that regard it seems like solr is setup up
correctly. I'm not sure if the problem really relates to WSGI.

Do you have any ideas?

Best regards
