Help with Setup

Greetings

I've gotten SOLR installed and the admin screens working.  At this  
point I'm just trying to get my add record to be grabbed by the SOLR  
update process, but unfortunately, I'm getting a whitespace error  
that I could use some pointers on.  I've searched the site and found  
similar errors but no tips that could help me out.

---------------------------------------------------

My schema.xml is pretty straight forward, I didn't modify the types  
section, and modified the fields to the following


<fields>
    <field name="id" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
    <field name="storyText" type="text" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
   </fields>

<!-- field to use to determine and enforce document uniqueness. -->
<uniqueKey>id</uniqueKey>

<!-- field for the QueryParser to use when an explicit fieldname is  
absent -->
<defaultSearchField>storyText</defaultSearchField>

<!-- SolrQueryParser configuration: defaultOperator="AND|OR" -->
<solrQueryParser defaultOperator="OR"/>
---------------------------------------------------------

My example document at this time is a singe doc (I've tried both with  
and without xml declaration)

<add>
<doc>
<field name="id">2008</field>
<field name="storyText">The Rain in Spain Falls Mainly In The Plain</ 
field>
</doc>
</add>


What else am I missing?

My Tomcat installation is 5.5.20

My SOLR info is
Solr Specification Version: 1.1.0
Solr Implementation Version: 1.1.0-incubating - Yonik - 2006-12-17  
17:09:54
Lucene Specification Version: nightly
Lucene Implementation Version: build 2006-11-15

java.vm.version = 1.5.0_07-87


Any and all help is appreciated and will be rewarded with a warm  
glowing feeling of accomplishment!  Thx!

I think the issue was with a bad file in /data/solr/conf.  After a  
bunch of testing out of the installtion directory, I was able to use  
the post.sh script to post correctly into the server and had a  
successful commit.

I'm now going to retry to customize the data set and see what I can  
screw up.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

You can use curl with a file if you put the "@" char in front of it's name. (Otherwise curl expects the data on the commandline).

curl http://localhost:8080/solr/update --data-binary @articles.xml

Try:

curl http://localhost:8080/solr/update --data-binary '<add><doc><field name="id">2008</field><field name="storyText">The Rain in Spain Falls Mainly In The Plain</
field></doc></add>'

And see if that works.  I don't think curl lets you put a filename in for the --data-binary parameter.  Has to be the actual data, though something like this might also work:

curl http://localhost:8080/solr/update --data-binary `cat articles.xml`

Those are open ticks, not apostrophes.

I thought that too, I opened it up via vi and nothing was there.   
Usually if I have a PC encoding issue ( I use EditPlus as a text  
editor) it will show up in vi.

My guess is you have some funny character at the start of the document. 
  I have seen funny chars show show up when i edit a UTF-8 file and save 
it as ASCII.  If you don't see it in your normal editor, try a different 
one.

If that does not help, start with the working example and add modify a 
little bit at a time...

That's an awesome tip to keep in ol' toolbox, Christian.

Wrapping is purely via email, the text xml is single line (on  
purpose, originally it was a 3 paragraph field that was html encoded,  
I simplified the text as a 'just in case')

For the storyText "field" element, is that wrapping only in this email
or is the source document wrapping like that as well?
