[ckan-dev] Heads Up: Problems with Jetty / Solr on latest Ubuntu 12.04

Fri Nov 15 14:48:07 UTC 2013

Hi,

We picked up a weird error yesterday on our Travis where Solr suddenly
stopped working, and we got a lot of errors like these ones:

SearchIndexError: Solr returned an error: 404 Not Found

Nothing in our setup or instructions had changed.

After much hair-pulling a  friend from the awesome CKAN community
pointed us to the right direction.

Apparently an update came on yesterday that Jetty is not very happy with:

To solve it you need to install the mentioned package:

sudo apt-get install libcommons-fileupload-java:amd64=1.2.2-1

@ckan devs, merge master into your PR if you want the tests passing again.
