my application proceeded register. after input information receive error page saying:

errno::econnrefused in userscontroller#create

connection refused - {:data=>"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?><add><doc><field name=\"id\">user 1</field><field name=\"type\">user</field><field name=\"type\">activerecord::base</field><field name=\"class_name\">user</field><field name=\"username_text\">mikeadeleke</field><field name=\"bio_text\">founder of edopter</field></doc></add>", :headers=>{"content-type"=>"text/xml"}, :method=>:post, :params=>{:wt=>:ruby}, :query=>"wt=ruby", :path=>"update", :uri=>#<uri::http:0x007fb6c3c911d0 url:http://localhost:8982/solr/update?wt=ruby>, :open_timeout=>nil, :read_timeout=>nil, :retry_503=>nil, :retry_after_limit=>nil} 

the message:

app/controllers/users_controller.rb:14:in `create' 

so here code causing hold up. see no issues , ran through roodi validator.

class userscontroller < applicationcontroller     before_filter :get_user, except: [:new, :create]      def get_user         @user = user.find_by_username(params[:user_name])     end      def new         @user = user.new     end      def create         @user = user.new(params[:user])         if @user.save             sign_in @user             flash[:success] = "woohoo! creating account. feel free edit profile or around elsewhere!"             redirect_to(user_url(@user.username))         else             render 'new'         end     end      def show         @resources_upvoted = []         @user.upvotes.where(upvotable_type: "resource").each |upvote|             @resources_upvoted << upvote.upvotable         end         @crafts_interested = []         @resources_upvoted.each |resource|             craft = resource.craft             if !@crafts_interested.include?(craft)                 @crafts_interested << craft             end         end     end      def edit         if @user != current_user             redirect_to user_url(@user.username)         end     end      def update         @user.email = params[:email]         @user.bio = params[:bio]         @user.save          redirect_to edit_user_url(params[:user_name])     end      def destroy         @user.destroy          redirect_to home_url     end end 

your db connection fine, in fact, have answer in error message ;)

if @ find code:

url:http://localhost:8982/solr/update?wt=ruby> 

which means need start solr server. may start simple rails_env=your_env rake sunspot:solr:run. consider adding begin... rescue block around @user.save outputting message rather letting whole app crash.

if you're interested why error without explicit call solr - solr adds callback save method, indexes every new (or updated) record means won't have (theoretically) reindex scratch after adding new data.
