I am trying to access a Solr 4.5.0 instance that rests on a private server,
http://12.34.56.789:8983/
My application is located on this web server,
http://www.mywebapp.com
That said, I elected to use JavaScript library AJAX Solr to make the initial call to access the JSON object that's within that Solr instance.
I know that running an AJAX call to a different domain is out of the question, so I elected to run with a PHP proxy that compliments the JS framework. In essence, proxy.php, https://gist.github.com/evolvingweb/298580
I've included the necessary SolrPhpClient code base, stored it in the same directory as the proxy.php file and modified line 43,
$solr = new Apache_Solr_Service('www.mywebapp.com', 80, '/js/');
Obviously, I am not seeing the JSON publishing to the search results page and would like to get some insight on how to integrate this correctly.
In the javascript where you initiate AjaxSolr replace solrURL with proxyURL:
Manager = new AjaxSolr.Manager({
proxyUrl: 'http://localhost/subdirectory/proxy.php'
});
In proxy.php, line 49:
$solr = new Apache_Solr_Service('http://example.com', 80, '/pathToSolr/solr/' . $core);
