How to setup solr on production on ubuntu server with rails

Question

I'm going to setup solr on ubuntu server on production mode. I'm using rails 5.1.1, solr 6.5.1.

I've been running into an error below:

$RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake sunspot:solr:reindex
rake aborted!
RSolr::Error::Http: RSolr::Error::Http - 404 Not Found
Error:     Not Found

URI: http://localhost:8983/solr/production/update?wt=json
Request Headers: {"Content-Type"=>"application/json"}
Request Data: "{\"delete\":{\"query\":\"type:Address\"}}"

Backtrace: /home/deployer/apps/fpp/shared/bundle/ruby/2.4.0/gems/rsolr-2.0.2/lib/rsolr/client.rb:195:in `rescue in execute'

(eval):2:in `post'

And my sunspot.yml:

production:
  solr:
    hostname: localhost
    port: 8983
    log_level: WARNING
    path: /solr/production
    #solr_home: solr
    # read_timeout: 2
    # open_timeout: 0.5

development:
  solr:
    hostname: localhost
    port: 8982
    log_level: INFO
    path: /solr/development

test:
  solr:
    hostname: localhost
    port: 8981
    log_level: WARNING
    path: /solr/test

I've tried numerous other suggestions on SO but nothing seems to be fixing to my issue. I have no experience with sunspot so indepth answers are most welcome.

404 error with sunspot-solr is usually a problem of files missing.

check that the file solr/#{ENV}/core.properties was copied properly. Content of the file for each environment should be :

name=YOUR_ENV
configSet=sunspot
dataDir=./data

The data folder should also be present in your solr/#{ENV}/ folders.
