Solr-install

A number of shell scripts to download, customize and install apache solr for use with Drupal 7 and the module search_api_solr.

The scripts will install the following:

Apache Solr 3.x version using the included Jetty Servlet Container.
Copies the search_api_solr configuration files into the solr instance.
Creates multicore instances tst, acc and prd.
Installs the software in /var/solr and a /etc/init.d/solr startup script
Runs the solr server

Installation

I suppose we can assume you have git installed:

$ git clone git://github.com/fjmk/solr-install.git
$ cd solr-install
$ sudo ./install-solr

You can test your installation: http://[yourhostname]/solr/tst/admin (change tst if you changed the core_names in the script)

For the Drupal configuration the Solr server URI is: http://[yourhostname]/solr/tst

Customizing

The file create_solr starts with the lines:

#!/bin/bash

# change the core names to your liking
core_names="tst acc prd"

# change to new versions if needed
apache_solr_version="3.6.2"
search_api_solr_version="7.x-1.0-rc3"

You can add/change core names here: (tst acc prd)
3.6.2 is the current apache-solr version (3.x version)
Change search_api_solr_version when there is a new verion on drupal.org
