Hi Maatari, DSpace 1.8.x has never been tested with Solr 4, so I'm doubtful that it would work without code changes.
If you would like to use Solr 4, I'd recommend upgrading to DSpace 4.0 or above, as they all now use Solr 4. Here's the versions of Solr that past DSpace versions used: * DSpace 1.8.x uses Solr 3.3.0 * DSpace 3.x uses Solr 3.5.0 * DSpace 4.x uses Solr 4.4.0 * DSpace 5.x uses Solr 4.10.2 As you can see, we tend to upgrade Solr with each major release of DSpace. So, when you upgrade your DSpace, you'll be upgrading Solr as well. - Tim On 5/9/2015 3:35 PM, Maatari wrote: > Hi, > > I'm relatively new to dspace, still learning about it.
