Hi Alejandro, I followed the steps given by you on this forum for solr installation. Its working well...
However do you have any idea about starting solr on prerequisite port. I mean if I want solr to run on port different than 8080 and with the same steps provided by you, what would be the better way? If you have any clues about it please do let me know... Thanks in advance...
