: but run into a problem at step 4 : : Launch Solr: : cd <solr installation example directory>; java -Dsolr.solr.home=<point : to solr-ruby's solr home dir> -jar start.jar : : where Solr complains that it can't find solrconfig.xml in either the : classpath or the solr-ruby home dir. Can anyone help me disentangle this?
what exactly was the command line you executed? what wsa the real path? The solrconfig.xml file shouldn't exist *in* the directory you specify with -Dsolr.solr.home, it should be at ./conf/solrconfig.xml relative that path (or there should be a "./solr.xml" relative that patch in a more modern/multi-core setup) -Hoss
