I’m trying to connect to SearchStax and I keep getting “We could not join your Solr server. Your Solr path could be malformed, or your Solr server down (Solr code 404)”.

WPSOLR index name: Test
Server Protocol: https
Server Host: xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-us-east-2-aws.searchstax.com/solr/
Server Port: 8983
Solr index path: /Test or /solr/Test

Testing with WPSolr 20.1

You can try:

Serach engine: SolrCloud
WPSOLR index name: Test
Server Protocol: https
Server Host: xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-us-east-2-aws.searchstax.com
Server Port: 443
Solr index path: /solr/test

That produces:
We could not join your Solr server. Your Solr path could be malformed, or your Solr server down (Solr code 400)

{ “responseHeader”:{ “status”:400, “QTime”:7}, “error”:{ “metadata”:[ “error-class”,”org.apache.solr.common.SolrException”, “root-error-class”,”org.apache.solr.common.SolrException”], “msg”:”Error CREATEing SolrCore ‘Test’: non legacy mode coreNodeName missing {configSet=Test}”, “code”:400}}

With engine “SolrCloud” or “Solr”?

I forgot to change it to SolrCloud, I’ll try again.

For a Test collection:
{ “responseHeader”:{ “status”:400, “QTime”:9}, “Operation create caused exception:”:”org.apache.solr.common.SolrException:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: collection already exists: Test”, “exception”:{ “msg”:”collection already exists: Test”, “rspCode”:400}, “error”:{ “metadata”:[ “error-class”,”org.apache.solr.common.SolrException”, “root-error-class”,”org.apache.solr.common.SolrException”], “msg”:”collection already exists: Test”, “code”:400}}

Collection /solr/test exists. use another collection name /solr/test1

I see Test1 was created in the cloud tree.

Recent versions of SolrCloud require that the user you use to create the index has also the rights to upload the configuration files.

Source: https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_4/configsets-api.html#configsets-upload

A configset is uploaded in a “trusted” mode if authentication is enabled and the upload operation is performed as an authenticated request

This can be done only in SearchStax.

I’ll see what I can do.
Thank you

I’m getting close, I got authentication failed.

Hi,
I’m out of options, even with the help from you and from SearchStax, I can’t connect to them.
I’m just going to have to host Solr myself for production.

[wpsolr]

I contacted SearchStax support, to get my SearchStax deployment updated to SolrCloud 8.4
With my current 7.5 deployment, WPSOLR can create the index.

Does my version of WPSOLR matter? I’m connecting using my local home environment if that matters using WAMP.

SearchStax support kindly installed me a deployment with Solr 8.4.0, and I could create an index from WPSOLR.

2 conditions appear to be necessary:
– Create a user/pwd and use it during index creation with WPSOLR. The user will automatically be added to security.json as an authenticated user with permissions to upload the config files.
– Add an IP filter in your deployment security menu:
> “IP/Range in CIDR format”: 0.0.0.0/0
> “Service”: Solr
