Solr getReponse error 500 (0x80004005)

[Borvik]

Hello all.

I'm attempting to use the PECL Solr (0.9.7) library to interact with a Solr database (1.4). This is running on IIS (I'm pretty sure IIS 6).

I can't seem to find there error on this.

$db = new SolrClient(array('hostname' => 'server', 'port' => 8080, 'path' => '/mypath/'));

$query = '...'; //query removed for security
$params = array('sort' => 'score desc, field2 desc');
$squery = new SolrQuery();
$squery->setStart(0);
$squery->setRows(2);
$squery->setQuery($query);
if( is_array($params) && count($params) > 0 ){
    foreach($params as $pname => $pvalue)
        $squery->addParam($pname, $pvalue);
}
$re = null;
$r = $db->query($squery);
$re = $r->getResponse(); //trouble lines on this line
var_dump($re);
var_dump($r);

When the trouble line is commented out (or I change the function to getRawResponse()), I have no problems and I can see the xml response from Solr and everything appears fine.

With the getResponse() function though I get a FastCGI Error, -2147467259 (0x80004005). I've been trying various things to get information as to WHY: such as try...catch, @(to try an fail silently), but I just keep getting the FastCGI error. Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?

I think I've found my solution. It would appear that while Solr was returning all the data for a document, because I didn't explicitly specify the fields to return it was causing problems during the getResponse() call.

As a follow-up, a newer version of the solr pecl library is available (1.0.2) and does not have the above problem. At some point between version 0.9.7 and 1.0.2 this was fixed.
