I'm currently running a CentOS 7 server with cPanel and Drupal 8. I installed Solr 8.8.1 and I can access the administratrion page where I an able to create cores. I installed the Search API module with Composer.

When I try to use the Solr server via the Search API module, I get a server connection error.

I tried a lot of Drupal configuration, with Basic Auth and standard, via localhost, IP and domain name, but I'm still not able to connect to the Solr server.

Everything I do gets me the following error.

The Solr server could not be reached or is protected by your service provider.

I am the service provider. I verified the firewall isn't blocking the connection.

Can someone tell me what I could have done wrong?

  • That's the module or the actual version of Solr?

    CentOS may have SELinux enabled by default. See wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux for troubleshooting.

@hotwebmatter's answer above helped me with this issue, so I'll add instructions:

  1. Check the status of SELinux: getenforce. In my case, the status was enabled, so I needed to disable it.
  2. Disable SELinux: sudo nano /etc/selinux/config, then change SELINUX=enabled to SELINUX=disabled.
  3. Reboot: systemctl reboot

Check the status of your Solr server again at /admin/config/search/search-api/server/scs_solr.
