Thanks for your response @aklochkov.
But I again noticed that something is wrong in my solr/tomcat config[I
spent a lot of time making solr run], b'coz in the solr admin page [
http://localhost:8080/solr/admin/] what I see is that the $CWD is the
location where from I restarted tomcat and seems this $cwd gets picked and
used for index data[Is it the default behavior? or something wrong from my
side?, or may be I'm asking some stupid question ].
Once I was in /etc and from there I restarted the tomcat and when I tried
to open the solr admin page I found an error saying that can not create
index directory some permission issue I think [it gave a directory str like
/etc/solr/index ... ]. I'm pretty sure something is wrong in configuration.
One more thing assures me about this is the fact that I found many solr
index directories here and there[ these are I think the locations where I
was when I restarted tomcat at that time ]. Earlier I was using the
java_opts to set the solr home like this
export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -D/usr/local/solr" #in .bashrc
but I commented that and instead added the jndi entry in
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/solr/WEB-INF/web.xml as this
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>solr/home</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>/usr/local/solr</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
Even the entry SolrHome in solr admin page say that SolrHome is
"/usr/loca/solr" but the index gets created in $CWD. Is it the case that I
created entries for SolrHome in multiple places? which is obviously wrong.
Can someone point me what is the issue. Thank you very much.
