Solr/Crap
From charlesreid1
Solr is a search engine server that allows for querying via HTTP, JSON, or XML, and returns results in JSON or XML.
I'm trying to use it to create a searchable database of text files.
Installation
Download it and compile it by using Ant (a Java-based make program):
$ wget http://mirror.metrocast.net/apache/lucene/solr/3.6.0/apache-solr-3.6.0-src.tgz
$ tar xzf apache-solr-3.6.0-src.tgz
$ cd apache-solr-3.6.0
$ ant ivy-bootstrap # this installs ivy, an Ant dependency
$ ant compile
It'll take a couple of minutes to finish.
Test
You can test everything by running
$ ant test
Making War
Make a .war file by doing this:
$ cd /path/to/apache-solr-3.6.0/solr $ ant dist
Again, this will take a while.
Making Example
Make the Ant example by typing
$ cd /path/to/apache-solr-3.6.0/solr $ ant example
Running Solr
To run Solr, you have to have a web server running locally. If you're installing Solr on an existing server, you've already got this taken care of; if you're running it locally, you probably don't.
