solr newbie
Trying to run the test tutorial to index an xml file and keep getting an error message: curl: command not found? Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can download curl from http://curl.haxx.se/ if you don't have it on your machine. -D -Original Message- From: Tim Archambault [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 9:42 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: solr newbie Trying to run the test tutorial to index an xml file and keep getting an error message: curl: command not found?

Re: solr newbie
Hi Tim, Curl is a little command-line networking tool. The easiest way to get it is cygwin if you are not on a UNIX system. See the 'Requirements" section of the tutorial: 3. On Win32, cygwin, for shell support. (If you plan to use Subversion on Win32, be sure to select the subversion package when you install, in the "Devel" category.) This tutorial will assume that "sh" is in your PATH, and that you have "curl" installed from the "Web" category. -Yonik On 6/1/06, Tim Archambault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Trying to run the test tutorial to index an xml file and keep getting an error message: curl: command not found?

!Solr
Hi all, I need to get something up and running in 12 hours, so I thought it could be fun to see if Solr would work out of the box for me. Neither the example nor the dist war would start. No big deal, I'll hack something up another way. Just thought it would be a good thing to report this. I'm on IBM 1.5 on my PPC Linux.

Re: !Solr
Thanks for the report Karl, much appreciated. It looks like a problem with your servlet container/JVM not liking the XML entity "../../../conf/web.external.xml" in the web.xml I guess the IBM JVM uses some stricter XML parsing rules or something. If you remove that from the web.xml, it should be fine (in fact I had removed it in the past already... I don't know how it came back). I'll remove it now so it will be fixed for the next nightly build. -Yonik On 6/1/06, karl wettin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all, I need to get something up and running in 12 hours, so I thought it could be fun to see if Solr would work out of the box for me.

I found the "web" options. Thank you very much. While that is installing incrementally, two last questions. Are there any example stylesheets to review to see how the data flows into the layout? How would one go about injecting database information into the indexs without having to create XML files for each one? Thanks again.

It's most efficient to make a "builder" application that reads from the database, constructs XML documents *in memory* and sends them to the Solr server.

Re: solr newbie
Great thanks. I manage a newspaper website in Maine USA with about 400,000-500,000 documents/database records (if not more) and I am going to try and create a solr search engine for the site. We'll see how it goes. I've been using a "bastardized" lucene search for my site up to now, but this looks much better.

Re: SolPHP
Brian, I'd love to give any RoR bindings a try if you're a point to share. I can see all sorts of interesting fun that can be had with such bindings, such as pulling schema.xml from the server and using its field definitions to build mapping objects (like ActiveRecord), support for all the parameters of the request handler(s), clever iterators that would page through the hits by requesting bite-sized chunks from Solr. At the very least, of course, is having the request and response abstracted so no XML or HTTP is seen by the client code.

stylesheet issue
I've got solr installed and running, with only one failure left to date. Whenver I try to select a stylesheet for my search, I get an error message such as this: Error loading stylesheet: A network error occured loading an XSLT stylesheet:http://localhost:8983/admin/tabular.xsl Something tells me something isn't mapped correctly here either in Jetty or in a Solar config. My hunch is the path should be " http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/tabular.xsl"; I must say the product is great and the synonym tool is unbelievable. Can't say enough. Any help with this stylesheet issue is greatly appreciated. Tim
