Solr installation

common tasks

• start: bhladmin@bhl-int1: sudo /etc/init.d/jetty start
• stop: bhladmin@bhl-int1: sudo /etc/init.d/jetty stop
• status: bhladmin@bhl-int1: sudo /etc/init.d/jetty status
• reindexing solr:
  • how to do it manually
    • option 1)

HOST="bhl-int1"
FOXML_FOLDER=/mnt/nfs/dev/data/archival-storage/fedora/data/objectStore
WEBAPP="fedoragsearch"
# fedora on 8080, solr on 8983
PORT="8080"
 
#
# clear the solr index
#
ssh $HOST "/usr/bin/sudo /etc/init.d/jetty stop"
rm -r /mnt/nfs/dev/data/data-management/solr/core/data/*
ssh $HOST "/usr/bin/sudo /etc/init.d/jetty start"
#
# trigger indexing
#
#
 
curl --user fgsAdmin:$GS_PASSWORD "http://$HOST:$PORT/$WEBAPP/rest?operation=updateIndex&action=fromFoxmlFiles&value=${FOXML_FOLDER}"
 

• option 2) run the script in /mnt/nfs/test/opt/scripts/post2solrByGsearch/post2solr.sh

• or start jenkins job: http://bhle-dev-1.nhm.ac.uk/job/data-management/

location

• Github: https://github.com/bhle/bhle/tree/master/data-management/solr
• web-application: /mnt/nfs/dev/data/data-management/solr
• application-container:/usr/share/jetty/
• lib: /mnt/nfs/dev/opt/data-management/solr/lib
  1. /mnt/nfs/dev/data/data-management/solr/solr.xml
  2. /mnt/nfs/dev/opt/data-management/solr/core/conf (symlink to /home/bhladmin/dev/opt/data-management/solr/core/conf )
  3. /etc/default/jetty
• logs: /var/log/jetty/${TIMESTAMP}.stderrout.log
• data: /mnt/nfs/dev/data/data-management/solr/core/data

dependencies

• gsearch: solr data home
• portal: solr URL

modifying config files

1. solr.xml: restart jetty
2. core/conf: reindex
3. /etc/default/jetty: restart jetty; if data home has changed: change fgsearch index.properties; adapt jenkins jobs; adapt portal?; THINK!

how to test if it's working

• only on localhost - http://bhl-int1:8983/solr/

login information if necessary

• NONE

proxy information

• http://bhl-test.nhm.ac.uk/solr

currently solr 3.3.0. is being installed in Jetty:

solr home: /mnt/nfs-demeter/development/data/data-management/solr
core: used by Gsearch

install jetty:

sudo apt-get install jetty libjetty-extra

configure jetty:

sudo vi /etc/default/jetty

• set port to 8983
• allow any host to connect
• set JVM ARGS: -Dsolr.solr.home=/mnt/nfs-demeter/development/data/data-management/solr

copy the solr war to /usr/lib/jetty/webapp/:

cp /mnt/nfs-demeter/apache-solr-3.3.0/dist/apache-solr*.war /usr/lib/jetty/webapp/solr.war

restart Jetty:

sudo /etc/init.d/jetty restart

Also, the configuration of solr will effect Gsearch, please refer to
/mnt/nfs-demeter/development/opt/archival-storage/fedora/tomcat/webapps/fedoragsearch/FgsConfig/fgsconfig-basic.properties

after modifying it, run

ant -f fgsconfig-basic.xml

to update the configuration of gsearch
