Alex, Yeah im getting too complicated... I have a VMWARE instance with SOLR running I have an Amazon instance with SOLR running I have a Rails Installer with SOLR and Blacklight running on windows (localhost:8983) I have a Binami Windows SOLR installed (localhost:8984)
i just downloaded the windows.zip file from Apache-Solr and can see it matches your book. I unpacked the zip file in my user directory. I believe this runs its own jetty JRE itself. The Solr instructions are to move the solr.war into my SERVLET container (where is that?) I am already running JAVA on my machine... executed in Windows/system32/java.exe. am i suppposed to run all the commands from C:/ > instead of $??? Also...there is no start.bat file as indicated in the solr install instructions. Ill try and move your files over to one of the bitnami installs. steve -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Newbie-to-SOLR-with-ridiculously-simple-questions-tp4105788p4105964.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
