I experienced the same issue. With Solr 1.x, I was copying out the 'example' directory to make my solr installation. However, for the Solr 3.x distributions, the DataImportHandler class exists in a directory that is at the same level as example: "dist", not a directory within.
You'll either want to take the entire apache 3.1 directory, or modify solrconfig to point to the new place you've copied it: <lib dir="../../dist/" regex="apache-solr-dataimporthandler-\d.*\.jar" /> On Tue, Apr 26, 2011 at 6:38 AM, Stefan Matheis <matheis.ste...@googlemail.com> wrote: > http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2011/04/01/solr-powered-isfdb-part-8/ > > On Tue, Apr 26, 2011 at 3:34 PM, vrpar...@gmail.com <vrpar...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> Hello, >> >> i got following source >> >> org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Error loading class >> 'org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.DataImportHandler' at >> org.apache.solr.core.SolrResourceLoader.findClass(SolrResourceLoader.java:389) >> at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.createInstance(SolrCore.java:423) at >> org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.createRequestHandler(SolrCore.java:459) ..... >> >> actually this error comes in solr 3.1 only in solr 1.4.1 it works fine >> >> how to solve this problem? >> >> Thanks >> >> Vishal Parekh >> >> >> -- >> View this message in context: >> http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/org-apache-solr-common-SolrException-Error-loading-class-org-apache-solr-handler-dataimport-DataImpo-tp2865625p2865625.html >> Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. >> >
