: Till now I was working with the jetty server bundled with the SOLR
: distribution. But I want to deploy solr.war to another jetty server. Here I
: am facing some problem with solr/home. Whenever I start the jetty server, I
: get the following error -
...
: INFO: solr home defaulted to 'solr/' (could not find system property or
: JNDI)
...
: SEVERE: Could not start SOLR. Check solr/home property
: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't find resource 'solrconfig.xml' in
: classpath or 'solr/conf/', cwd=C:\jetty-6.1.3\je
...
: I have tried following options -
:
: 1. Added system property on windows as 'solr.solr.home'. I am able to get
: its value when I check through command prompt.

i don't know much about windows, but i don't think that's the same thing
as a java system property (that looks like an enviornment variable to me)
: 2. I also tried adding vm argument through command prompt as follows -
: set
:
JAVA_OPTS=-Dsolr.solr.home="C:\SOLR\apache-solr-1.3.0\apache-solr-1.3.0\example\solr"
:
: But in all the case, I am getting the above exception.
what about the INFO line i quoted above (solr home defaulted to
'solr/'...) are you seeing that line even when you modify the JAVA_OPTS
this way? (i'm wondering if perhaps you are setting the system property
but maybe the quotes or formating or soemthing is confusing it when trying
to find that directory) ... it would be helpful to see the *exact* logs
and error messages you get when trying the JAVA_OPTS method ... i'm
suspicious that maybe it's a slightly different error.
: 3. I tried to retrieve the System property through java code (It is the
: similar code that is triggered by Solr, SolrResourceLoader.java
: locateInstanceDir() method). I get the value of system property in the code.
your code looks right, but i don't understand exactly what you're saying
-- do you in fact see the path in your logging output? if so then i'm
more confident it's a problem with formating the path correctly so java
understands it.
FYI: in my opinion the best way to set solr home is using JNDI, but you
didn't mention trying that...
