Cannot start Stack Dump

Question

When I'm try to launch the start_web.sh script of Stack Dump, I've got this kind of error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/stephan/Schreibtisch/Stack Exchange/stackdump/python/packages/bottle.py", line 744, in _handle

SolrError: Failed to connect to server at 'http://localhost:8983/solr/stackdump/select/?q=%2A%3A%2A&sort=random_9101+desc&rows=3&wt=json', are you sure that URL is correct? Checking it in a browser might help: HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=8983): Max retries exceeded with url: /solr/stackdump/select/?q=%2A%3A%2A&sort=random_9101+desc&rows=3&wt=json (Caused by <class 'socket.error'>: [Errno 111] Connection refused)

Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot.

Have a nice Day!

You have to ./star_solr.sh first, since it's the underlying indexation engine that will allow stackdump to work. Be aware that you need to import a site before you have anything avalaible in stackdump.
