Hello,
I have installed solr from ports under FreeBSD 12.0 and I am trying to
run solr as described in the Solr Quick Start tutorial.
I keep getting permission errors:
/usr/local/solr/example/cloud/node2/solr/../logs could not be
created. Exiting
Apart from the fact that I find it bizarre that it doesn't put its
logs in some 'standard' writable place, the ".." perturbs me. Does it
mean there's stuff there which I don't know what it is (but it doesn't
want to tell me?). He knows how to write long messages so what's the
problem?
I have tried making various places writable, but clearly I don't know
what the ".." means...
Any help appreciated.
TIA

In my own work, now and then I encounter exactly that problem. I
then recall that the Solr material expects to be owned by user solr, and
group users on Linux. Thus a chmod -R solr:users solr command would
take care of the problem.
Thanks,
Joe D.
