Hi, I'm using Linux CentOS with Plesk 9.2.1, Tomcat 5.5 and Solr 1.3.0. I installed the solr war file through the plesk control panel but it doesnt start up. The logs reveal that solr/home property needs to be set before it can be started up. After some googling, I found out that I could set the property in web.xml in the war file. This didn't seem to work for me.
When I was first playing with solr, it was on a Windows machine and its very simple to set this property. You can do it through the tomcat service system tray application. However, I am using Linux now and I believe that I need to set this option in JAVA_OPTS. I have seen a bunch of examples where someone will export the variable etc and then run the catalina.sh command. I can't do that. I need to start and stop the service via plesk. This is what I'm thinking. I see in /etc/passwd that the tomcat user has a default path of /usr/share/tomcat5. I'm wondering if I could put a .bashrc file in that directory and set the option there. Would that work? Does anyone have an idea as to how I can solve this problem? By the way the option should be something like: JAVA_OPTS=-Dsolr.solr.home='/usr/share/tomcat5/solr' Thanks in advance, Aaron --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
