That exception, especially given the lack of an error message, is very unhelpful. The average person wouldn't be able to deduce that it was a config problem. Perhaps the code in QParser that threw the NPE needs a null check, logging/throwing a useful error when it is tripped. What exactly did your solrconfig.xml have that was incorrect? Thanks, Shawn
