Deploying solr to tomcat 7

[Rehaman <en...@gmail.com>]

Dear Solr Team,

We installed Ensembl server in our environment and not able to query
databases with large number of entries. And for that purpose we need to use
indexed databases through Solr search engine.

We have installed Solr search engine (Solr Specification Version: 3.6.1) on
Tomcat 7. Able to see Solr main page "Welcome to Solr"  with ensembl shards.

When I try to query each shard I am getting error "HTTP status 500" error.
I have searched in forum for this and not able to resolve. Please find
attached error log.

Could you please suggest me how to resolve this issue.

Thanks & Regards
Fazulur Rehaman

I don't know anything about Ensembl.  But I can comment about Solr.  
Version 3.6.1 is nearly six years old, and is four major versions out of 
date, as version 7.2.1 is the current release.  I can attempt to help, 
but this version is so old that it's effectively end of life.

This is the relevant line from the log that indicates the problem:

Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (Connection 
refused)

The Solr server is trying to access one of the URL endpoints mentioned 
in the "shards" parameter.  That connection is being refused.  Which 
means that either the traffic is being blocked, possibly by a firewall, 
or the URL endpoint in the shards parameter is not correct.

Thanks,
Shawn
