Answer 1

You have mentioned you've installed the required modules but ensure you've done the specifics required in the Apache Solr readme:

• Get the Solr PHP client (around line 30 in the readme)
• Move schema.xml and solrconfig.xml from the drupal module directory to the relevant conf directory within your Solr install (around line 80)
• Browse to /admin/settings/apachesolr/settings and configure the solr host/port/path
• Check at /admin/settings/apachesolr/index and you should see items being indexed after cron runs
• There are then various options to filter content types, ignore or give weighting to specific content types etc
