Ckan: After install jetty-solr fails to run on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

[lperepol]

I am getting this error:
JSP support not configured.

CKAN Version if known (or site URL)

python-ckan_2.5-trusty_amd64.deb

Please describe the expected behaviour

solr-jetty runs without the "JSP support not configured" error.

Please describe the actual behaviour

I was following install instructions here:
http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/installing/install-from-package.html

and testing with
lynx http://localhost:8983/solr/

What steps can be taken to reproduce the issue?

@lperepol would you update the issue description? which CKAN version? which step of the instructions fails? What does it say when it fails?

[lperepol]

I think this is same jetty-solr issue users commented on here:
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1651
The workarounds I tried resulted in other issues. So nothing really worked for me.

Just to double check, I think there is an issue with the web admin app of Solr not working fine (because of JSP not being configured), but Solr should work fine with CKAN.

We definitely need to find the way to fix the JSP issue, but in the meantime you can use CKAN normally.

To test if Solr itself is working you can use curl http://localhost:8983/solr/select\?q\=\*:\*

@lperepol please try:

cd /tmp
wget https://launchpad.net/~vshn/+archive/ubuntu/solr/+files/solr-jetty-jsp-fix_1.0.2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i solr-jetty-jsp-fix_1.0.2_all.deb
sudo service solr restart

It's the basis for a doc change provided in #2966.

Same thing for me. Using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Got the JSP error. Had to install tomcat6-solr instead.

@mstantoncook: Your steps worked for me but the last line should be a jetty restart
sudo service jetty restart

[KattaOmkareshwar]

do we need anything to previously installed for installing solr-jetty
