Does anyone know why am I getting this this error? Please help me.

Answer 1

I was getting this as well. My background was that I installed Solr locally and ignored everything in the solr subdirectories. So the contents of solr/pids where ignored but the file structure of solr/pids remained.

I deployed this to our dev server and encountered the above errors.

The solution turned out to be simple. The solr directory needs to be created fresh in a new environment.

1. rake sunspot:solr:stop
2. Delete your /solr directory.
3. rake sunspot:solr:start
4. rake sunspot:solr:reindex
