Answer 1

A ConnectException means that either your Solr instance is not running or you're trying to connect to the wrong IP/port.

Answer 2

From the error, it appears your Solr instance is not running at the address you provided. Try to access your Solr instance directly. Once you determine it's up and running, use the same address to connect to it.
