I’ve downloaded WPSolr Pro and have installed and activated it. I’ve also got an instance of Apache Solr installed and running. This is all on a VM on an internal IP address where I’m using real world data for testing, Solr 8.7.0. and your plugin v22.0
I’m trying to connect the indexes now but am running into trouble. I obtained the index path from the Solr Dashboard and entered into the config screen at Tab 0 and then entered the rest of the details required. I had to create most of the paths specified by the plugin such as configsets and the index/conf under that. I then ran the curl script (curl -L -o index.zip https://www.dropbox.com/ etc) and then tried to save the configuration. This failed with the error message “This index name already exist.”. Is there anything I’m doing wrong here or missing out?

WPSOLR need to create the index from scratch.
1) Delete this index from the Solr dashboard
2) Then proceed on creating the index from WPSOLR as you did before

But that’s what I’ve done. starting again with nothing showing in the Solr Core Amin, I tried again creating a new index, called chimes, and didn’t put anything in Solr. in the plugin I entered the server details and gave it a path to use. At this point there’s nothing showing in server core admin and the only extra directory I’ve created is /var/solr/data/configsets. I click the button at the bottom and get all the instructions on what to do then click the button at the bottom again. This returns
Solr HTTP error: OK (404)
HTTP ERROR 404 Not Found
URI: /var/solr/data/chimes/admin/ping
STATUS: 404
MESSAGE: Not Found
SERVLET: –

So I check the path and they’re not there. So I create them and get “Inde3x already exists” message. So I delete everything and try again this time making sure the directories existed before I clicked the button the second time. I got exactly the same 404 message as before and clisking the button a 3td time brought up the “Index Exists” message.

a) Something in Solr logs?
b) Is it Solr or SolrCloud?
c) What is the Solr path you’ve set in WPSOLR screen?

I’m using this path for the index
/var/solr/data/chimes

And these are the log entries

The “path” in WPSOLR should be “/solr/chimes”

Just in case there was a version problem I removed Solr 8.7 and installed 7.4. Same problem! 404 can’t find ../admin/ping even though its right there.
There are a couple of different log messages though

Config
You should not use LATEST as luceneMatchVersion property: if you use this setting,​ and then Solr upgrades to a newer release of Lucene,​ sizable changes may happen. If precise back compatibility is important then you should instead explicitly specify an actual Lucene version.

There are a few others on the plugin type

Yes, WPSOLR was tested on Solr 8.6

Did you install the binaries or the sources?

[robpl1]

The binaries from solr-8.7.0.tgz

Can you show here the WPSOLR index screenshot?

This is what I was doing.
Unfortunately an update (not sure if it was to my VM or Ubuntu) has left me unable to properly use the Solr interface. None of the links work. I suspect the VM software (Fusion on Mac) since the problem occurs in snapshots taken before the update.

The “path” in WPSOLR should be “/solr/chimes”

Thanks very much. That seems to be working, at least in so far is it created the index. Now though there are a few other problems. Although the index seems to be loaded, according to tab zero, it may not be from looking at tab 2 heading.

Finally there were a few error messages in the Solr log file that might be of interest.

You now need to follow all tabs one after the other, including tab 2.
