Sitecore 8.1, never used Solr before, just switched from Lucene.

I downloaded the latest Solr and installed it using nssm. Generated self-signed certificate. Admin runs well at https://localhost:8983/solr/.

I created the core "sitecore_analytics_index" using the command

solr create -c sitecore_analytics_index

I can access it from the dashboard. I renamed "managed-schema" to "schema.xml" but I get an error in the log informing me that the core was upgraded to managed and I don't need the file, so I deleted it.

When I try to access the Sitecore shell, I get the following error:

Connection error to search provider [Solr] : Unable to connect to [https://localhost:8983/solr], Core: [sitecore_analytics_index]

which is baffling as I can access that very instance just fine. Sitecore log is empty as it cannot start.

Question

Why I am getting this error?

    If you open https://localhost:8983/solr/#/~cores/ can you find the core above mentioned? Is its name exactly the expected?

  • as far I remember Sitecore 8.1 with Solr is tricky, you need to do some other changes...

  • Yes, I can find it and the name is exactly as expected. I'm running Solr 7.6.0.

This issue will resolve by enabling Sitecore.ContentSearch.Solr.Index.Analytics config file. Enable all the config files related to solr and disable all the lucence config files in app_config/include folder

I was trying to use Solr 7.6.0 with Sitecore 8.1. This will not work, and ended up installing Solr 4.10.x.

This solved my problem.
