Installed Solr on my Windows XP PC. Tomcat seems to be working fine. Cannot get Solr to work. I noticed the TrieDateField is declared in a file called schema.xml in the SolrHome directory. Any thoughts?

The Url http://localhost:8080/solr/ returns:

HTTP Status 500 - Severe errors in solr configuration. Check your log files for more detailed information on what may be wrong. If you want solr to continue after configuration errors, change: false in null ------------------------------------------------------------- org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Unknown fieldtype 'date' specified on field updated

Here is an excerpt from the catalina log file:

SEVERE: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Error loading class 'solr.TrieDateField'
    at org.apache.solr.core.SolrResourceLoader.findClass(SolrResourceLoader.java:273)

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: solr.TrieDateField

Encountered the same issue, after some digging I tried the following and it worked:

In your schema.xml file, change the class from "solr.TrieDateField" to "org.apache.solr.schema.TrieDateField".

Example: 

<fieldType name="date" class="org.apache.solr.schema.TrieDateField" omitNorms="true" precisionStep="0" positionIncrementGap="0"/>

I noticed this because of this comment in the file: 

<!-- Class names starting with "solr" refer to java classes in the
   org.apache.solr.analysis package.
-->

Which is not where the TrieDateField class is located.

Hope this helps. -C
