Hello,
We are setting up Islandora to a central library in Istanbul. I go
through the documentation below:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/ISLANDORA/milestone+6+-+Installing+Solr+and+GSearch
https://github.com/islandora-interest-groups/Islandora-DevOps-Interest-Group/blob/master/Provisioning-Islandora-on-Ubuntu.md#gsearch-and-solr
However I need remote Solr to make sure it always works fast enought
(the old software we replace is searching very slow). I saw that
GSearch v2.8 supports remote solr, so I installed v2.8 instead of
v2.7. Solr version is v4.2.0.
Now I installed everything. GSearch admin and Solr admin are working.
But when I search for something in gsearch admin (rest) I get the
error "directory '/usr/local/fedora/solr/collection1/data/index' does
not exist" which is I understand because the index directory is in a
remote machine. There was an "indexDir" option in
"fgsconfig-basic-for-islandora.properties". What should I replace it
with? My configuration file for solr is like this:
# indexEngine is Lucene, Solr, or Zebra.
indexEngine=Solr
# FgsIndex: indexBase is the server base url, in case of Solr or Zebra.
indexBase=
http://solr.ibb:8080/solr
# FgsIndex: indexDir is the path to the index.
indexDir=${local.FEDORA_HOME}/gsearch/FgsIndex/index
# FgsIndex: indexingDocXslt is the name of the indexing stylesheet.
indexingDocXslt=foxmlToSolr
