It can be used as a default perhaps, but solr should provide a mechanism to indicate where the index directory should be. Some server admins don't allow the server account write access to the server's bin directory, and this is actually a good / prudent security measure. > - We had a web.external.xml file that was included via an XML entity > into the solr web.xml to allow changes and extensions w/o having > to edit the solr one. This may have to go. It's not necessarily a bad thing, and should work more or less universally, so I wouldn't rush to junk it -- there's enough other work to do ;) -- Yoav Shapira System Design and Management Fellow MIT Sloan School of Management Cambridge, MA, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] / www.yoavshapira.com
