production settings for solr

I am using your AWS marketplace instance for solr. What settings do I use in my config.yml for rails. I have staging server setup and am using this right now:

staging:
  solr:
    hostname: solr.mydomain.com
    port: 8983
    log_level: INFO
    path: '/solr'
    # pid_dir: '/opt/bitnami/apache-solr'

I am using the sunspot_rails and sunspot_solr gems. I should just be able to run the rake task to reindex at that point correct? When I try now, i get a connection timed out.
