You can specify a configuration file when jetty starts. Take a look at: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJetty
then you can start jetty with: java -jar start.jar yourjettyconfig.xml On 1/8/07, Brian Whitman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I would like to specify the solr dataDir on launch of jetty via java - jar start.jar instead of editing the solrconfig.xml before launching. I've tried java -Dsolr.dataDir=/x/y/z -jar start.jar but it seems to have no effect -- it starts with the solrconfig.xml default. Use case is that I would like to deploy solr to other users with the data dir going in their home directories.. setting the dataDir in solrconfig.xml to ~/solrdata does not work (the ~ does not get expanded on this OSX system.)
