-------------------------------
Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug)
> Solr server directory needs to be writable by the user running solr
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLR-12777
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12777
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Components: scripts and tools
> Affects Versions: 7.3.1
> Reporter: Pete Ryland
> Priority: Major
>
> When starting solr, an optional {{-d}} parameter can be provided. This
> specifies the "Solr server directory" which needs to be the {{server}}
> directory from the raw distribution. This clearly contains the program
> files, so as per common practice should not be writable by the user running
> the program. However, when specified, an error results because it tries to
> create a log directory within the program directory! This is really really
> bad practice. One should be able to specify a directory for the runtime
> files and log files on the command line. It would be even better if the
> defaults conformed to the filesystem hierarchy standard when run on a Linux
> system. I understand that you want to make it easy for developers to use
> your software, but when deploying on actual production systems, these things
> are really important. It's also important to understand that the people
> deploying your software to production are different to the ones who develop
> with your software, and a deep understanding of your software shouldn't be
> necessary for the former to be able to deploy it.
> A wholly-unsatisfactory workaround is to set the pid and log directories by
> environment variable before starting the server:
> {{$ export SOLR_PID_DIR=/var/lib/celum-search}}
> {{$ export SOLR_LOGS_DIR=/var/log/celum-search}}
> This can also be done in {{/etc/default/solr.in.sh}}.
