Solr info

[bornakke]

Hi Medialab,

For a complet newbee in the field of Solr do you then have any suggestions as to:

• What version of Solr one should use?
• Should I setup Jetty or Tomcat allong with Solr?

(I'm currently using this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-solr-on-ubuntu-14-04)

Secondly, I'm unable to understand this warning but I have a destinct feeling that it is important that I do understand it before I run anything. Could you elaborate a bit on the section:

"se the solr node example provided in solr_hyphe_core directory. the script deploy_solr_core.sh might helps you. Change the solr core path and tomcat user/service (depends on your install) in the script before using it. BEWARE : It will erase any hyphe core already present in solr core path. You should review the script before using it."

Thirdly, is it posible for you to share the files that you have adapted on your server for it to work.

Lots of questions. Hope you can help me out.

Best regards
Tobias

Hey, quick answers but @paulgirard should complete

• We're using solr with tomcat although i don't believe this should change anything.
• Regarding versions, I'm not absolutely sure but I'd say latest is fine
• One importnat thing is to set solr to work with multiple cores
• regarding the script, I'd recommand not using it : it's only a few commands to run by hand and it's safer. Basically you need to edit your config, copy paste the solr conf directory to the directory where you set in solr config the multiple cores to find, then restart tomcat (sudo service) and you should be good. Just read the script and do in your own way what it does :)

Sorry that's not very detailed but that's from vacation :p
