[Florance, Patrick]

Anyone have any suggestions for Wesley?  I don’t manage our Solr configuration and Chris is away on vacation.

Thanks - Patrick

Good day Patrick

I hope you doing well.

I hope that you would be able to help or direct in the right direction with regards to the following:

A small introduction, My name is Wesley Barry, and I am staff member of the library IT department at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.

The library is currently in the process of setup a local instance of the OpenGeoPortal.

I hve setup the following:

Ubuntu 14:04
Tomcat 7
Geoserver
Geowebcache
OpenGeoPortal ( we have customised it with our branding as well)

I am however stuck with getting the Solr server up. the error I get is:

HTTP Status 500 - Severe errors in solr configuration. Check your log files for more detailed information on what may be wrong. If you want solr to continue after configuration errors, change: <abortOnConfigurationError>false</abortOnConfigurationError> in null ------------------------------------------------------------- java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create directory: /home/libsolr/solr/./data/index at org.apache.lucene.store.NativeFSLockFactory.acquireTestLock(NativeFSLockFactory.java:74) at org.apache.lucene.store.NativeFSLockFactory.makeLock(NativeFSLockFactory.java:137) at org.apache.lucene.store.Directory.makeLock(Directory.java:131) at....

I have googled the error and tried various recommended fixes, yet I still get the above error. I would to know if there is any solution to get this fixed or what the recommended steps are to setting up the Solr server to work with the OpenGeoPortal.

Kind Regards

Hi,

I personally have not got that questions. But Chris and I wrote a installation manual for basic tuning of OGP and Solr which worth giving a look if you haven't.

Wesley, have you checked that the user who is running the tomcat process has write access to the /home/libsolr/solr/./data/index folder? And that all the folders in that chain exist?

Good luck!

I also found I had to give the right port number in order to ingest data to the solr instance I set up on Tomcat, or it would default to 8983 and throw an error. There's probably some configuration that can change the default port, but I haven't found it. This is what worked for me:

java -Durl=http://localhost:8090/solr/update -jar post.jar input.xml

To get to the admin page, you have to use the correct port number with localhost (eg. localhost:8090) to get to it unless you set up a ProxyPass in your main httpd.conf file:

<Proxy /solr>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass /solr http://<domain>:<port>/solr
ProxyPassReverse /solr http://<domain>:<port>/solr

I'm just getting started with this stuff too, so feel free to correct this if there's a better way to do it.

-Carl
