I just installed sunspot gem (latest version) including the embedded solr into my application. When I run "rake sunspot:solr:start" it says the server started, but then I can't connect and I think it dies quietly - I cannot find the log file for it.
So my first question is: Where is the solr log file supposed to be? I checked my app log directory and there was no log there other than the standard development log.
So I did some searching, and ran rake sunspot:solr:run - it throws this error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.helpers.MessageFormatter.arrayFormat(Ljava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;)Lorg/slf4j/helpers/FormattingTuple
So I did some more searching and everything indicates a classpath issue, but I can't figure out how to fix it, or why it's happening.
Here's the questions that are related:
Exception thrown while using logback/slf4j
Exception thrown while using logback/slf4j/java
I don't have any other entries on the classpath:
$ java -version java version "1.7.0_45" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)
$ echo $CLASSPATH
Prints nothing
and trying to run solr directly didn't give me any more information on where the problem lies:

Could anyone suggest how to recover from this error?
