There's a bug that will prevent install_solr_service.sh from working on
RHEL / CentOS 6.5. It works on Ubuntu 14. Appears to be some obscure
difference in bash expression evaluation behavior.
line 87 and 89: SOLR_DIR=${SOLR_INSTALL_FILE:0:-4}
blows up with this error:
./install_solr_service.sh: line 87: -4: substring expression < 0
this results in the archive not being extracted and rest of the script
won't work.
I tested a simple change:
SOLR_DIR=${SOLR_INSTALL_FILE%.tgz}
and verified it works on both RHEL 6.5 and Ubuntu 14
I'm happy to create a Jira and submit a patch. Never made a commit to solr
so just wanted to post up here before moving forward on the Jira and patch.
FYI - I also verified that even on a freshly installed RHEL 6.5 AWS AMI
that it's broken.
Thanks,
- Dave
