Re[7]: Where are the log files...
Hello Brian,
Your suggestion works. Now I'm able to log solr output to a file.
I haven't figured out how to enable Jetty logging in solr
1.2, though. But solr logs just fine.

: Also, the jetty log only logs web server activities, not solr : activities. Is there a way to configure solr to log to a file? Solr logs LogRecords to a Java Logging Logger -- the servlet container controls where those LogRecords go. I'm really not sure how you are running Jety, but when i go to the stock "example" directory that comes with Solr 1.2, and type "java -jar start.jar" I see all of the Solr log messages written to my console via Jetty's STDERR ... if you leave the jetty.xml file alone, and run jetty in the same way (java -jar start.jar), do you see the Solr log messages? if not, then i'm not sure what is going on. if you do: then how is this differnet from what you've been doing where you don't get any messages?

...all you have to do is create a logging.properties file and call
this before starting up solr:
System.setProperty("java.util.logging.config.file", home+"/conf/
logging.properties");
(you can set this on the java commandline or in your servlet container)
Your logging.properties file can look like this:
---
handlers= java.util.logging.FileHandler
# Default global logging level.
.level= INFO
# default file output is in user's home directory.
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = %h/Library/Application\
Support/Your Company/solr%u.log
java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit = 5
java.util.logging.FileHandler.count = 1
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.XMLFormatter
Re[5]: Where are the log files...
Hello Chris, With Solr 1.1, after I uncomment the logging portion of jetty.xml, jetty starts to write to log files. But that part of jetty.xml disappears in Solr 1.2, which uses a new version of Jetty. So, I still don't know how to enable Jetty logging in Solr 1.2. (The query log works, not the web server/container log.) Also, the jetty log only logs web server activities, not solr activities. Is there a way to configure solr to log to a file? -- Best regards, Jack Thursday, June 14, 2007, 10:59:58 PM, you wrote: > : But I've just notice that in jetty.xml, I have to uncomment some > : lines to enable jetty logging.

Re[4]: Where are the log files...
There's no logs there :) But I've just notice that in jetty.xml, I have to uncomment some lines to enable jetty logging. It's commented out by default. I haven't tried this yet though. -- Best regards, Jack Thursday, June 14, 2007, 6:21:42 PM, you wrote: > maybe u will find it in *apache-solr-1.2.0\example\logs* > and I not use jetty. > 2007/6/15, Jack L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> >> Yeah, I'm running 1.1 with jetty. >> >> But I didn't find *.log in the whole solr directory. >> Is jetty putting the log files outside the directory? >> >> > what version of solr/container are you running? >> >> > this sounds similar to what people running solr 1.1 with the jetty >> > include in that example... >> >> >> > Jack L wrote: >> >> It happened twice in the past few days that the solr instance stopped >> >> responding (the admin page does not load) while the process was still >> >> running.

maybe u will find it in *apache-solr-1.2.0\example\logs* and I not use jetty. 2007/6/15, Jack L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Yeah, I'm running 1.1 with jetty.

Re: Where are the log files...
if u use jetty, u should see jetty's log. if u use tomcat, u should see tomcat's log. solr is only a program that run with container. 2007/6/15, Ryan McKinley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: what version of solr/container are you running? this sounds similar to what people running solr 1.1 with the jetty include in that example...
