Connection refused using Sunspot and Solr in Rails

Question

I\'m having an issue wherein I get an ECONNREFUSED error when I try to perform a search using sunspot_rails. The gems (sunspot_rails and sunspot_solr) both seem to be installed

Answer 1

Turns out it was a bug in Sunspot. Here's a link to the issue I filed for a full description:

My workaround was to edit the .yml file and change all ports (test, development, and production) to 8983.
