Solr unable to reindex due to undefined field type

I've inhereted a rails app that uses Solr, which is new to me. All I want to do for now is to get the site running locally. I've installed solar, but when I try to get it running on the app, I have problems. I can run 

rake sunspot:solr:start

without getting any errors, but when I try to reindex everything, like this: 

rake sunspot:solr:reindex

I get the following error:

Execute sunspot:reindex
rake aborted!
Solr Response: undefined field type

I gather from this post that it's because of the schema.xml file. And that I have to copy that file.

I've got a schema.xml in my app's root directory and I've got another in the example directory in /usr/local/Cellar/solr/3.6.1/libexec/. When I did the rake 

rake sunspot:solr:start

command, schema.xml was copied into my app's solr directory. Is there more copying that needs happen? I'm not really sure how to fix this issue.

For Solr 4.7, copy schema.xml and solrconfig.xml from your_app/solr/conf to /opt/solr/solr/collection1 (or whatever your solr path is) and if still not working, make sure that your config/sunspot.yml is something like:

production:
  solr:
    hostname: localhost
    port: 8983
    log_level: WARNING
    path: /solr/collection1
    # read_timeout: 2
    # open_timeout: 0.5

It is recommended to create another core (my_core) from the solr web interface, copy schema.xml and solrconfig.xml to that folder and point path to /solr/my_core

Put schema.xml in conf directory, under your Solr root.
