Hi, I am trying to integrate solr in ruby on rails application.For that i am using the plugin acts\_as\_solr and gem solr-ruby. My solr server starts successfully with command $ rake solr:start But when I try to add data from $ script/console , it says that it cannot connect to solr server at the corresponding port.Same is the result if i try the browser to link to [http://localhost:8982/solr](http://localhost:8982/solr) The error is RuntimeError: Couldn’t connect to the Solr server at [http://localhost:8982/solr](http://localhost:8982/solr). 404 “Not Found” Can anyone please help me in this. :((
