Not quite but I'm improving. Or something...

Looking under solr5/server/solr I see configsets with the three default choices. What "feels" right is to make a new folder in there for my app (dovecot) and then copy my solr4/example/solr/collection1/conf folder. I'm hoping I'm on the right track - maybe working too hard.

If that was correct, then I tried "solr create -n dovecot -c dovecot" (after stopping my old server and starting a new one) and it did create an entry. I then stopped the server, copied my old data folder over to the new location, and started the server.

I then tried searching, which may have worked...I'm not certain if the search results came from solr or my imap server manually searching.

I'm sure I'm overcomplicating things - just not seeing the obvious.

Hi daniel

You need to update your config/scehma file on the path like
'...\solr-dir\server\solr' . When you are done then you can update your
index path in solrconfig.xml.

I hope you got it.

Best,
Zahid

Thank you - but I still don't understand where to install/copy/modify
config files or schema to point at my current index. My 4.x schema.xml was
fairly well optimized, and I believe I removed any deprecated usage, so I
assume it would be compatible with the 5.x server.

Hi

You could try this

Instead of example/, use the server/ folder (it has Jetty in it)
Start Solr using bin/solr start script instead of java -jar start.jar …
Leave your solrconfig and schema as is to keep back-compat with 4.x.
You may need to remove use of 3.x classes that were deprecated in 4.x

Hi!

I'm a very inexperienced user with Solr.  I've been using Solr to
provide indexes for my Dovecot IMAP server.  Using version 3.x, and later
4.x, I have been able to do so without too much of a challenge.  However,
version 5.x has certainly changed quite a bit and I'm very uncertain how to
proceed.

I currently have a working 4.10.3 installation, using the "example"
server provided with the Solr distribution package, and a schema.xml
optimized for Dovecot.  I haven't found anything on migrating from 4 to 5 -
at least anything I actually understood.  Can you point me in the right
direction?
