Can't reindex Sunspot SOLR - Error - RSolr::Error::Http - 500 Internal Server Error

Question

Everytime i try to reindex using...

rake sunspot:solr:reindex

These error messages always show:

Error - RSolr::Error::Http - 500 Internal Server Error - retrying... Error - RSolr::Error::Http - 500 Internal Server Error - ignoring... Error - RSolr::Error::Http - 500 Internal Server Error - retrying... Error - RSolr::Error::Http - 500 Internal Server Error - ignoring...

I tried to stop then start using...

rake sunspot:solr:stop
rake sunspot:solr:start

But nothing happened.

And now everytime I try to run my app in localhost...

This is the error:

RSolr::Error::Http - 500 Internal Server Error
Error: Severe errors in solr configuration.

Check your log files for more detailed information on what may be wrong.

If you want solr to continue after configuration errors, change: 

 <abortOnConfigurationError>false</abortOnConfigurationError>

in null

-------------------------------------------------------------

Request Data: "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><delete><query>type:Trip</query></delete>"

A more detailed error message than the one I had in terminal.

I tried plenty of solutions from the net like setting Abort Configuration to false, but nothing happened.

The error still persists.

Any work around will be appreciated.

The solution:

1. rake sunspot:solr:stop
2. rm -rvf solr (Delete your /solr directory)
3. rake sunspot:solr:start
4. rake sunspot:solr:reindex
