Included with the Ektron Solr install is a handy tool to
test basic connectivity on port 7600.
To utilize:
1.) On the Search/Solr server; Open IIS
2.) Expand the sites
3.) Click on “EktroSolrSearch1.0”
4.) Click on “Content View” in lower central area
5.) Right click on “ping.html”
6.) If all goes well you should get a message similar
to this:
Solr Search Status
Check
Status OK!
a. If you do not see the above message you will
need to further troubleshoot the site in IIS and ensure that Static Content is
enabled.
b. If you do see the above message then cut and
paste the URL (it should look something like this: http://localhost:7600/ping.html) and
navigate to your CMS server and open a browser and paste in the URS, you will
need to change “localhost” for the Search/Solr server name. Again you should
get the above message – If you don’t then look at ports, firewall status, host
files, and IIS all as potential points of failure.
