I have Windows 7 x64. The entire issue is the non-existence of solr/logs folder.
Even when I run commands in Administrator mode the folder doesn't get created automagically. After I manually created it, "ant index" (21 minutes) and "java -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Dsolr.solr.home=cores -Djetty.home=solr -Djetty.logs=solr/logs -jar solr/start.jar" both run successfully. --Robert -----Original Message----- From: David Smiley (@MITRE.org) [mailto:dsmi...@mitre.org] Sent: Friday, May 21, 2010 9:29 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: RE: "Solr 1.4 Enterprise Search Server" book examples Hello Rob, Thank you for buying the book. I'm the lead author. There is a README.txt file in the root of the zip which includes a rather full invocation of java to kick off Solr that is to be used for the example data. The options as part of the invocation should elucidate what's going on. The layout of where Solr's home is in relation to where Jetty is does not coincide with a standard Solr distribution's "example" directory. In hind-site, I should have made it the same so as not to confuse people. Sorry. And I have no idea why the download got corrupted on Packt's server. I made a smaller distribution for them (~127MB vs 300-something) and put the data files on MusicBrainz' servers which are downloaded as part of the setup script you should run. ~ David Smiley ----- Author: https://www.packtpub.com/solr-1-4-enterprise-search-server/book -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-1-4-Enterprise-Search-Server-boo k-examples-tp756119p835927.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
