Dovecot wiki says the solr url is something like 'solr/dovecot/' but this gives a 404, if I install solr as per the docs I have a 'solr/#/dovecot/' url:
Solr URLs with # in them are ONLY for use in a browser. You cannot use them for API calls. Specifically, they are used by the complex javascript application that is the Solr admin UI.
The reason is that all characters in a URL starting with # are NOT sent to the server, they are ONLY handled by the client. Typically only a browser is capable of using those characters.
If the Solr core/collection is named "dovecot" then the example URL in the wiki is completely correct. If the index has a different name, then you can replace the string "dovecot" with the correct name.
Trying the exact URL that you give to dovecot *will* give you a 404 error. When a Solr client (like fts_solr) uses that URL, it will add the necessary information for it to work correctly.
