[ckan-dev] Solr problem when installing latest ckan

Tue May 14 10:48:04 UTC 2013

For some reason Solr allows you to connect from the command line but
is not happy when CKAN tries to connect to it.

That's why it is returning an html error message, which is causing the error:

> SolrException: HTTP code=Unknown XML response from server: <html ..., reason=None

It is hard to know what is going on without seeing the full html response.

Perhaps you can try to run this branch which adds more useful Solr
error messages and tell us what the ckan log says (run paster
search-index rebuild after applying the patch)
