HTTP ERROR: 500 Severe errors in solr configuration.

Question

hi i am trying to import data from mysql following this link http://www.cabotsolutions.com/blog/200905/using-solr-lucene-for-full-text-search-with-mysql/ I am getting the following error.. HTTP ERROR: 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:

<abortOnConfigurationError>false</abortOnConfigurationError>

in solr.xml

Your solrconfig.xml is not well-formed. It is an XML parsing error and in fact, it has nothing to do with Solr.
