Try using the latest nightly build, and changing indexDir to dataDir:
<!-- Used to specify an alternate directory to hold all index data other than the default ./solr/data If replication is in use, this should match the replication configuration . --> <!-- <dataDir>./solr/data</dataDir> --> -Yonik On 5/17/06, Michael Levy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I copied solrconfig.xml, schema.xml, synonyms.txt, protwords.txt and stopwords.txt into the WEB-INF/classes directory and the webapp is reading those files. I was thinking that if I uncommented the indexDir element in solrconfig.xml, it would then use that directory in which to place the index The commented-out default value is: <indexDir>index</indexDir> I tried changing the value to: <indexDir>indexXXX</indexDir> However this is being ignored; the index directory is still being created under Tomcat's current-working-directory/solr/conf/index (In my case I'm testing under Windows and it's C:\Tomcat 5.5\solr\data\index) Any ideas? Thanks.
