[TYPO3-Solr] Configuration troubles with Solr extension

[Peter Ruijter]

Hi List,

I'm having a problem with the so likely easy to configure Solr community extension (1.3.0). We are willing to use a remote Solr server, which is perfectly accessible through a regular web browser. For test purposes I've installed a TYPO3 4.5.3 on an Apache 2.2.16 webserver with PHP 5.3.5 and a MySQL 5.0.7 database server on my local Windows XP machine. I've followed the installation instructions from the WIKI-pages (http://forge.typo3.org/projects/extension-solr/wiki/Setup_the_Solr_Extension), but I don't see any search box on my searchpage.

My SOLR configuration:

plugin.tx_solr.solr.host = http://mysolrserver.com    # is protected by a firewall
plugin.tx_solr.solr.port = 80
plugin.tx_solr.solr.path = /
plugin.tx_solr.solr.search.targetPage = 1

The developer log will only show the message:

1275399922: exception 'tx_solr_NoSolrConnectionFoundException' with message 'Could not find a Solr connection for root page [1] and language [0]. Initial page used was [73]' in C:\Projects\Typo3_4.5.3\t3lib\class.t3lib_div.php:5295 Stack trace: #0 C:\Projects\Typo3_4.5.3\t3lib\class.t3lib_div.php(5295): ReflectionClass->newInstanceArgs(Array) #1 C:\Projects\Typo3_4.5.3\typo3conf\ext\solr\classes\class.tx_solr_connectionmanager.php(113): t3lib_div::makeInstance('tx_solr_NoSolrC...', 'Could not find ...', 1275399922) #2 C:\Projects\Typo3_4.5.3\typo3conf\ext\solr\classes\pluginbase\class.tx_solr_pluginbase_pluginbase.php(160): tx_solr_ConnectionManager->getConnectionByPageId(73, 0, '') #3 C:\Projects\Typo3_4.5.3\typo3conf\ext\solr\pi_results\class.tx_solr_pi_results.php(197): tx_solr_pluginbase_PluginBase->initializeSearch() #4 C:\Projects\Typo3_4.5.3\typo3conf\ext\solr\classes\pluginbase\class.tx_solr_pluginbase_pluginbase.php(138): tx_solr_pi_results->initializeSearch() #5 C:\Projects\Typo3_4.5.3\typo3conf\ext\solr\classes\pluginbase\class.tx_solr_pluginbase_pluginbase.php(77): tx_solr_pluginbase_PluginBase->initialize(Array) #6 [internal function]: tx_solr_pluginbase_PluginBase->main('', Array) #7 C:\Projects\Typo3_4.5.3\typo3\sysext\cms\tslib\class.tslib_content.php(6348): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #8 C:\Projects\Typo3_4.5.3\typo3\sysext\cms\tslib\content\class.tslib_content_user.php(51): tslib_cObj->callUserFunction('tx_solr_pi_resu...', Array, '') #9 C:\Projects\Typo3_4.5.3\typo3\sysext\cms\tslib\class.tslib_content.php(922): tslib_content_User->render(Array) #10 C:\Projects\Typo3_4.5.3\typo3\sysext\cms\tslib\class.tslib_fe.php(3263): tslib_cObj->USER(Array) #11 C:\Projects\Typo3_4.5.3\typo3\sysext\cms\tslib\class.tslib_fe.php(3202): tslib_fe->INTincScript_process(Array) #12 C:\Projects\Typo3_4.5.3\typo3\sysext\cms\tslib\index_ts.php(465): tslib_fe->INTincScript() #13 C:\Projects\Typo3_4.5.3\index.php(84): require('C:\Projects\Typ...') #14 {main}

This error is generated inside the initializeSearch() function inside the tx_solr_pluginbase_PluginBase class. I've added a try catch to this function to investigate where the initiation goes wrong. The generated error inside the dev-log is in my opinion curious, because I've added the Solr server configuration on the firstpage of the pagetree, which is also the root of the website and it has a domain-record. I'm stuck at the moment  and have no further time to continue to dive into the code to look for the cause.

Perhaps someone has an idea where to look further to solve the problem.
