Hi All: I have just started using Solr and have it successfully installed within a Tomcat7 Webapp server. I have also indexed documents using the SolrJ interfaces. The following is my problem:
I installed Solr under Tomcat7 folders and setup an xml configuration file to indicate the Solr home variables as detailed on the wiki (for Solr install within TOmcat) The indexes seem to reside within the solr_home folder under the data folder (<Solr_home>/data/index ) However when I make a zip copy of the the complete install (i.e. tomcat with Solr), and move it to a different machine and unzip/install it, The index seems to be inaccessible. (I did change the solr.xml configuration variables to point to the new location) >From what I know, with tomcat installations, it should be as simple as zipping >a current working installation and unzipping/installing on a different >machine/location. Am I missing something that makes Solr "hardcode" the path to the index in an install ? Simple plut, I would like to know how to "transport" an existing install of Solr within TOmcat 7 from one machine to another and still have it working. Ramdev=
