Solr not reindexing correctly - Sunspot Solr with Solr 4

Question

I have a similar issue that Solr with Rails - rake sunspot:reindex is not working.

I have these in my Gemfile:

gem 'sunspot_solr', github: 'sunspot/sunspot', branch: 'master'
gem 'sunspot_rails', github: 'sunspot/sunspot', branch: 'master'

And:

bundle exec rake sunspot:solr:start

works fine, but when I do:

bundle exec rake sunspot:solr:reindex

I get:

Connection refused - {:data=>
"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><delete><query>type:Service</query></delete>",
:headers=>{"Content-Type"=>"text/xml"}, :method=>:post, :params=>{:wt=>:ruby},
:query=>"wt=ruby", :path=>"update", :uri=>
#<URI::HTTP:0x007fccf982f348 URL:http://localhost:8982/solr/default/update?wt=ruby>,
:open_timeout=>nil, :read_timeout=>nil, :retry_503=>nil,
:retry_after_limit=>nil}

Answer 1

I added path to sunspot.yml

development:
  solr:
    hostname: localhost
    port: 8982
    log_level: INFO
    path: /solr/development

test:
  solr:
    hostname: localhost
    port: 8981
    log_level: WARNING
    path: /solr/test

Not sure if this good enough though. Seems this is because I am using Solr 4 and configuration is creating solr/environment type URLs.
