PySolr connection error 404

Question

I am using solrv5.0 and pysolr but I get the following traceback when I run a python script:

File "site-packages/pysolr.py", line 322, in _send_request
raise SolrError(error_message)
pysolr.SolrError: [Reason: Error 404 Not Found

For the script lines about pySolr, I only have:

solr = pysolr.Solr('http://localhost:8983/solr/', timeout=10)
solr.add([dict])

where dict is a python dictionnary. When I comment # solr.add, I haven't got any errors. So I think I get the connection but I can't update... Why? Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

I needed to specify my solr core to get this command to work.

This:

solr = pysolr.Solr('http://localhost:8983/solr/', timeout=10)

Should be:

solr = pysolr.Solr('http://localhost:8983/solr/your_core_name', timeout=10)
