Cannot access SOLR admin

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi all,

I'm following this guide (http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/concepts/solr-monitor-troubleshoot.html) to reindex/fix SOLR on my new 4.2.a installation.  Step 9 of Reindexing says that I can monitor SOLR through the admin panel at http://localhost:8080/solr/
When I try to access that page I receive this message…

Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to localhost:8443.
SSL peer cannot verify your certificate.
(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_alert)‍‍‍‍

Two questions:
Why is it redirecting 8080 to 8443? and
What on earth is that SSL error doing in a stock 4.2.a install?

Thanks!

1.  Alfresco uses HTTPS to connect to the Solr server by default. So when you look into you server.xml file for tomcat you should see something

<Connector port="8080" URIEncoding="UTF-8" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443" />

And look for the comments above there in xml to understand why its getting redirected to 8443.

2. Refer this page for solving your error - http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Fconcepts%2Fsolr-monitor-troubleshoot.html
