2,245 PointsSolr configuration error
I've setup solr on my app and it was working for a while but now it's starting to throw errors and I can't get it running. I'm getting the following errors when I try to do rake sunspot:solr:run
:INFO:oejw.StandardDescriptorProcessor:NO JSP Support for /solr, did not find org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet
Null identity service, trying login service: null
Finding identity service: null
I'm able to access my solr admin page and the logs are displaying these errors:

Can someone point me in the right direction to fixing this? Thanks in advance.

2,245 PointsTurns out my index got corrupted. Deleting my delete/
directory from my solr
directory and reindexing got things working again.
