Hi, I tried this from my fresh install of Solr. It didn’t work.
"[theadmin@aspace3-test-localdomain archivesspace]$ /opt/solr/bin/solr create_core -c archivesspace -d /opt/archivesspace//solr ERROR: Failed to create new core instance directory: /var/solr/data/archivesspace" I wondered about the path so I tried this: "[theadmin@aspace3-test-localdomain archivesspace]$ /opt/solr/bin/solr create_core -c archivesspace -d /opt/archivesspace//solr ERROR: Failed to create new core instance directory: /var/solr/data/archivesspace" This is Solr installed as laid out at https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/deployment-guide/taking-solr-to-production.html and I have moved the ArchivesSpace files in to the A solr/server/solr/configsets/archivesspace/conf/. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! [Towson University logo]<http://www.towson.edu/> Eric T. Gadsby Pronouns: he/him/his IT Operations Specialist | Albert S.

If suspicious, report to [email protected]. ] Hi Eric, There are different ways to do it, but this is what I recommend with a standard Solr install: 1. Start Solr: solr start -p 8983 1. Cd to where you installed archivesspace: cd /opt/archivesspace 1. Create a new Solr core: /opt/solr/bin/solr create_core -c archivesspace -d solr 1. Navigate to http://yourserver:8983/solr and confirm that the collection ‘archivesspace’ exists in the dropdown on the left side.

Let me make sure I understand… 1. Download ArchivesSpace, stick it someplace… let’s say /opt 2. Download Solr , stick it someplace… let’s say /opt 3. mkdir -p /$path/$to/$solr/server/solr/configsets/archivesspace/conf 4. Copy the configutrtion files from ArchivesSpace to /$path/$to/$solr/server/solr/configsets/archivesspace/conf 5. solr start -p 8983 6. solr create_core -c archivesspace -d solr Then I would need to define the Solr path in the ArchivesSpace config file and start it. What would be your suggestion on how to make Solr survive a reboot? Thanks again! [Towson University logo]<http://www.towson.edu/> Eric T.

Use caution before clicking links or opening attachments. If suspicious, report to [email protected]. ] Hi Eric, I recommend trying a simpler approach: First, start solr. For example: solr start -p 8983 Then cd to where you installed archivesspace and: solr create_core -c archivesspace -d solr Once you do that, you should be able to navigate to http://host:8983 and see the ‘archivesspace’ core in the collection dropdown.

I set up Solr as outlined at https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/deployment-guide/taking-solr-to-production.html; specifically running the install script that places all files in the correct places, makes a solr user, and sets the start-up process. Solr installed fine but I could not make the ArchivesSpace core using the process laid out at https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/provisioning/solr.html; I got an error. Now here is where I have found a contradiction. The ArchivesSpace documentation instructs you to follow the Solr documentation. The Solr documentation says to run the script but that starts Solr while the ArchivesSpace documentation goes onto says to not run Solr before importing the ArchivesSpace configuration files. Which is accurate? I have rolled my testing environment back and am trying again. In trying to get a better understanding I looked at Blake’s video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KbD0M_XfqI. In the video he says to simply move solr to /opt and you’re done, no need to run the script. Is that the case? Perhaps I am over thinking this but don’t you need to script to set up all the things Solr need like it’s own user and init file. The Solr document says you can start the software from anywhere (ie your home directory) but they call it a “toy” install and cautions you not to overtax it suggesting you should test that way but run a full install. As I roll up my sleaves to try again any guidance would be most helpful. Thanks in advance for your help! [Towson University logo]<http://www.towson.edu/> Eric T.
