I answered my own question, it turns out that I had to change some file permissions. Hopefully someone can explain why I had to do this, since it isn't in the documentation, and let me know if I should not have these permissions (except for the fact that it works now).
Here is a little about the set up, we are running D-Space 1.7.2, on a CentOS Linux server. We have Apache proxy to our Tomcat 6 server. Since we are running in linux, I could only start Tomcat as root, which is why I'm running everything through apache and mod_proxy (for nice simple URLs). In dspace-solr-config.cfg: ##### Search Indexing ##### solr.search.server = http://127.0.0.1:8080/solr/search In dspace.cfg ##### Usage Logging ##### # set this to be the port you run the dspace "solr" webapp # on, by default, we are assuming a test configuration with # tomcat still running on port 8080 solr.log.server = http://localhost:8080/solr/statistics I couldn't figure out why it would fail when we ran ./dspace update-discovery-index. As a last ditch effort I changed the file permissions on {$dspace.dir}/solr/* Simply running: chmod -R 777 {$dspace.dir}/solr/* The index now works for discovery, and the solr stats now work? Can anyone explain why changing the permissions seems to work? I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that the solr service is running as through Tomcat which is start up by root. Should I be worried about having such wide open permissions on that directory (the server is it's own VM with only 2 user accounts, my personal account and a dspace user)? Is there a better way I could be doing this?
