Doesn't index or extract the Document (.pdf .doc) from Remotely

Question

I am using Solr 3.1, Apache Tika 0.9 and Solrnet 0.3.1 to index the docuent like a .doc and .pdf file.

I have successfully index and extract document on locally using this code

Startup.Init<Article>("http://k9server:8080/solr");
        ISolrOperations<Article> solr = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance <ISolrOperations<Article>>();
        string filecontent = null;
        using(var file = File.OpenRead(@"D:\\solr.doc")){
                    var response = solr.Extract(new ExtractParameters(file, "abcd1") {
                        ExtractOnly  = true,
                        ExtractFormat = ExtractFormat.Text,
            });
            filecontent = response.Content;
        }
        solr.Add(new Article() {
                ID  = "36",
                EMAIL = "1234",
                COMMENTS = filecontent,
                PRO_ID = 256
        });
        // commit to the index
        solr.Commit();

But I am facing the problem to extract or index the document from remotely using same code, I got the error :

The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error. 
SolrNet.Exceptions.SolrConnectionException was unhandled

Answer 1

Your remote server has two different versions of Apache POI on the classpath, that's why you're getting the exception you see

You should remove the older version of POI, and leave just the new jars that came with SOLR / Tika. See the POI FAQ for how to identify the extra jar if you can't find it.

Answer 2

If it works against your local Solr instance but not against another instance, then the other instance is probably not configured correctly.

Judging by the stack trace, it seems that the POI libraries are incorrect (maybe the wrong version). Make sure to copy all Tika JARs from the Solr 3.1.0 distribution.
