I'd say you can work on this step and not bother with next steps until you
get this one going. The main question would be where did your apache+solr
setup came from? Was it working with earlier versions of Solr and you
upgraded? Was it some automatic install? Something else.
It was installed by my hosting company since I have limited permissions
on our server, and this is the first installation of it on this server.
I've been trying to figure out the issues from my end so I can help
things along.
I can think of three issues:
1) Your core/collection name is not 'collection1'. Before Solr 4.4 that
required solr.xml. With Solr 4.4 it does not if you have a property file,
but I am not sure of exact syntax.
Yep, I checked this, it is 'collection1'.
2) Your Tomcat is pointing at completely wrong directory. What does admin
page says about your solr.solr.home path? That should be the directory
above your collection directory and where previously solr.xml lived
The admin page that's turning up for me isn't showing that information,
so I can't verify it myself. However, the hosting company did tell me
that the home path was /etc/solr/, which is right above collection1/.
3) You are upgrading your setup and missed the note about log libraries
changes: https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrLogging
I checked the tomcat lib directory, and the jar files from
solr/example/lib/ext/ are copied over. However, I did notice that the
log4j.properties file didn't seem to be in the right place. That could
be the issue, I've contacted my host to have them check this.
Thanks for your help so far, Alex; it does look like I was heading down
the wrong path, at least for my first problem.
