I'm trying to create a Solr collection in ColdFusion 9. I have never used Solr before, but I am following the directions in Forta's Web Application Construction Kit.
Every time I go to create the collection, I get the following error:
Unable to create collection usaf.
Unable to create Solr collection usaf.
An error occurred while creating the collection: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException. Check the Solr logs for more detail.
Anyone have a clue what's wrong? I have read that the update to CF 9.0.1 causes some issues with Solr -- I tried installing that update and it failed several times. Could that be the problem?
If so, how to solve it? This is on a production Windows Server 2008 and a previous attempt to uninstall and reinstall forced us to restore the server from an image because it was such a disaster.
I know this is a bit old but here is what I did to fix the same problem. Solr service in CF Administrator wasnt showing the core collection and it wouldnt let me create a new collection (as per above).
Using Win7, CF9.0.1
Stopped the Search service and the Solr service via the windows service manager.
Edited the file ColdFusion9\solr\multicore\solr.xml and removed the entries for the collections I was working on at the time it all stopped working. This is the step that seems to have made the difference. Backup the file first!!!
For the entries I removed from solr.xml I also removed the collection folders and files completely from the file system using windows file manager.
Restarted the Search service and Solr service. Core collection now appears in CF Administrator. My CF pages now create and index collections as they should. Phew!
Cheers,
Murray
You can check CFAdmin under Data & Services > ColdFusion Collections to make Solr is running. Should be a default collection listed. If not, search runs as seperate services on Windows. Check that ColdFusion 9 Search Server and Solr Service are there and started.
Adobe has a standalone Solr install. http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html
Updating to 9.0.1 and hotfixes corrupted my Solr install. Had to reinstall CF from scratch.
It's also possible for the ColdFusion Solr Search Service to be running even though Solr is not. This can happen, for example, when there are errors in a collection's schema.xml file. I imagine there are other conditions under which this can happen. At any rate, as the poster above explained, if you look on CF Admin under "ColdFusion Collections" you should see at least the default Solr collection (core0). If you don't see that collection then Solr isn't running properly even if Windows tells you that the service is running.
Also, you may want to see if you can reach the Solr web service (port 8983 by default): http://localhost:8983/solr/
There could be 3 reasons for this:
1. Solr is not running.
2. Solr is running and if you are on Unix, Solr/CF is running as a non privileged user.
3. Solr is installed after CF. In that case go to CF Admin Data& Services->Solr Server(CF10) and provide solr home path.
It seems like solr service is timing out or not working properly for some reason.
First make sure that you can go to the Solr Admin UI on one host. Try http://hostname:8983/solr/ or http://localhost:8983/solr/ from RDP. If it is not working, then you will get the exact error or reason for why you are getting an error while adding CF collection. Most probably there should be CF collection which is not configured properly and you may remove those from 'ColdFusion9\solr\multicore\solr.xml'.

I'm currently experimenting/working on WSO2. What i'm trying to do is to have Data Analytics server configured. I started by following the below specified URL
https://docs.wso2.com/display/AM210/Configuring+APIM+Analytics#9d6747f5c0074928b18599abe472987d (Quick Steps)
After performing all the steps, i get the following issue on APIM cmd prompt
YES Its pretty evident from the error that no such table exists BUT that is exactly the issue i'm facing. What could really be the cause here?
Consider the following points:
I've not followed ALL the steps mentioned on
https://docs.wso2.com/display/DAS310/Getting+Started (BUT are they
required?)
In the installation prerequisites for DAS, JDBC-compliant Connector for Java is required which I've not yet installed (BUT its not mandatory at the same time)
Most of the QUICK STEPS for the configuration of DAS in the specified URL i.e. https://docs.wso2.com/display/AM210/Configuring+APIM+Analytics#9d6747f5c0074928b18599abe472987d where already in place and i only had to
Set Up JDK, ANT, Maven
enable the analytics section in the API-M_HOME/repository/conf/api-manager.xml
add log4j.rootLogger=, DAS_AGENT to API-M_HOME/repository/conf/log4j.properties
add snappy-java_1.1.1.7.jar to DAS_HOME\repository\components\lib
Yet the issue persists, Do let me know of what you think. Thank you
Since you are following quick start guide please extract the WSO2 API Manager and the WSO2 API-M Analytics distributions (zip files), to the same directory (preferably an empty directory).
Also, you need to generate some traffic to the published APIs in order to analytics server to create this table for the first time.
i am approaching the development of Restful web services for the first time. I tried to follow this guide for Netbeans . I am stuck at the testing of the web service.
When i open the
http://localhost:8080/WebServicesTest/test-resbeans.html
page, none of the root resources appears in the left menu. (there should be entities.customer and entities.discountcode)
I really can't find a solution.
Thanks in advance to anyone who likes to give me a hint.
--------------- Edit
If i click on CustomerDB --> Deploy i get an error
In-place deployment at C:\Users\utente\Documents\NetBeansProjects\CustomerDB\build\web
GlassFish Server 4, deploy, null, false
C:\Users\utente\Documents\NetBeansProjects\CustomerDB\nbproject\build-impl.xml:1071:
The module has not been deployed.
See the server log for details.
The line 1071 of build-impl.xml is
<nbdeploy clientUrlPart="${client.urlPart}" debugmode="false" forceRedeploy="${forceRedeploy}"/>
I checked out the referenced tutorial.
Which exact path did you follow? Did you change anything?
Most likely your CustomerDB application is not deployed correctly (see GlassFish Server output in NetBeans) and thus is not able to expose the web service and thus is not displayed in the test page (nothing visible in the side bar).
I tried the tutorial myself and had that phenomenon when using another database ("test" instead of the sample db, which was not connectable in my installed environment), resulting in a message that "test__pm" resource was not found. I then created a conection pool and a jdbc reosurce for test and then it worked.
Sitecore 6.6 Update 4
I've got an instance of Sitecore that is having an issue with goals. After creating (and publishing) goals, I try to assign the goal to a specific content item. When I click on the 'Analyze\Attributes\Goals' button in the ribbon, the dialog is presented, but no goals are populated in the box.
I've looked at my error logs and don't see any errors. I've watched via Fiddler and don't see anything. I've used Chrome's developer tools and see no errors.
I have another instance of Sitecore running on the same server and it has no issues populating the goals dialog box.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Likely your goals have not been deployed to your Analytics dataset. Try pointing SQL Management Studio to your Analytics Database and issue the following:
SELECT *
FROM [Sitecore_analytics].[dbo].[PageEventDefinitions]
And make sure that the goals you are registering are actually present here. There should be a Guid in PageEventDefinitionId that matches the Sitecore Item ID of your Goal.
Okay, thanks to Mark (+1) for pointing me down a direction for solving this. This has to do with automating analytics deployment on CD servers.
Looking at section 6.2.1 of the ECM Administrator and Developers Guide, you can see that there are two tasks:
Adding the Auto Publish action
Updating the Web.config with a workflow provider for the default definition database
The goals were associated with the "Analytics Workflow", but they weren't going into a draft state after creating them and they weren't being properly deployed when saving.
After ensuring that the steps from the ECM dev guide were followed in the client's CM/CD environments, everything started working again.
Note: this may not be something someone normally sees with a default install. I had begun the process of implementing the ECM autopublish by editing the web.config files and had not completed the process of adding the "auto publish" action. Once I ensured that all items were correct, the process worked as expected.
I created a datasource from my ColdFusion 8 admin using JDBC/Oracle Thin Client. The datasource creation was successful.
When Oracle encryption is configured as "Requested" I can browse my ColdFusion app. and run many functionalities with no problem. But when the Oracle encryption is configured as "Required" the connection fails.
The way I tested and know that it was failed was when I log in to my web app. It won't log me in. But when the Oracle is switched back as "Requested" I can log in successfully and run my tasks.
I have ColdFusion 8 Enterprise version and the operating system is Unix.
From the network dept, I was told they have the correct JAR file in place but not sure what is the correct JAR file.
Currently my web apps are running with datasource created using Oracle Thin Clint but the Oracle encryption needs to be switched back to "Requested" otherwise my users are complaining that they can't log in.
Has anyone ever experienced this situation and found a solution?
What should I do so I can use Oracle encryption set to "Required"?
I believe you are looking for the ojdbc14.jar file in the ColdFusion8/wwwroot/WEB-INF/lib directory (this will work with 11g).
I would give Coldfusion a restart but it might not be unnecessary.
Navigate to your Coldfusion Administrator.
In the ColdFusion Administration under data sources. Add a new data source along with your credentials and choose Other from the Database driver options.
Then enter this: jdbc:oracle:thin:#10.10.10.11:1521:ORCL in the JDBC URL Textarea.
In the Driver Class textfield enter oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver.
If you need a different jar (not sure you will) but if you do you can down load it from here.

Hope this is helpful or at least gets you further along.
Frank, Thank you for the answer but the java version running on my CF server is JAVA1.6 and the ojdbc.jar that's installed in there is ojdbc6.jar
Should the version of ojdbc.jar and java be the same? If I am already in the right track with my ojdbs.jar and java files then I'm back to square one
In addition, my further test using Oracle encryption as "Requested", I can run my apps. just fine except when my CF made a call to a str. procedure, it did not return a result. So I got CF error.
From me googling this issue, I found a blog that says this is a problem on CF standard version when using Oracle Thin Client. My CF is Enterprise edition.
I'm confused...is this related? how can I make this work?
I have built a SharePoint 2013 environment and everything was successfully setup. Then I had to disconnect the SharePoint 2013 server from the Farm, then I reconnected it to the farm again using the SharePoint 2013 products configuration wizard, then I re-run the AutoSPInstaller script I used to install SharePoint 2013 originally and this time the search service application was not successfully provisioned (already provisioned during initial install via AutoSPInstaller).
In search service application search administration page, I get the following message under "Search Application Topology":
"Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running"
Has anyone come across this issue before? how was it resolved?
I have installed the required/additional hotfixes: KB2472264, KB2554876, KB2708075, KB2765317...
Would deleting the Search Service Application and the database (data) associated with it via central admin, then running the AutoSPInstaller script again fix this issue? has anybody tries this method?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... I am tearing my hair out at this minute...
Thanks in advance
After much researching on the internet, the one thing that resolved this issue was to delete the search service application via central admin altogether and then re-provisioning it again. In my occasion this was provisioned via "AutoSPInstaller" which did the trick and resolved the message:
"Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running"
1.Remove corrupt search service applications:
http://pointsforsharing.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=5
2.Run powershell script:
$hostA = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity "YourServerName"
Start-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity $hostA
$UP = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy | where {$_.TypeName -like "Usage*"}
$UP.Provision()
Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance –Identity $hostA
$hostA
I've gotten this working by installing these updates BEFORE INSTALLING SHAREPOINT. If I install these updates after installing SharePoint, I don't have much luck with this..
