[ckan-dev] Installing CKAN, can't reach solr instance

[Rory]

I'm trying to install CKAN on a machine with Centos 6.5

I first followed this guide:
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/wiki/How-to-Install-CKAN-2.0-on-CentOS-6.3 and
hit a barrier with solr, then discovered this, newer, guide:

https://github.com/ckan/ckan/wiki/How-to-install-CKAN-2.0-on-CentOS-6.3-%28new%29

I keep hitting a wall when I get to step 6. Create Database Tables. When I
try to initialize the CKAN database with:

paster db init -c /etc/ckan/default/production.ini

I get the following:

2014-08-15 18:26:32,477 ERROR [ckan.lib.search.common] HTTP code=400,
reason=Bad Request

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return check_response_status(self.conn.getresponse())

line 1097, in check_response_status
    raise ex

2014-08-15 18:26:32,478 WARNI [ckan.lib.search] Problems were found
while connecting to the SOLR server

It seems as if it can't talk to the solr instance. When I curl the
solr url I get:

(default)[ckan at ckan ckan]$ curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/solr/ckan-schema-2.0 -v
* About to connect() to 127.0.0.1 port 8080 (#0)

I've tried repeating the steps in the steps in the guide but no luck.
Does any body have any ideas on how to debug?

Thanks,

Rory
