I'm using django-haystack and I am a little confused about where to put /solr, and it's schema.xml, solr.xml, and solrconfig.xml files.
I currently have /solr in the following longer path --- /home/mydir/ solr/apache-solr3.6.0/example/ I'm thinking about moving the guts up a level (getting rid of /apache- solr3.6.0/) leaving --- /home/mydir/solr/example/ It looks like the Jetty servelet is all under the example directory, so my thought is to either change the directory name "example" to "mysite", or save a copy of "example" as "mysite" at the same level. In either case I end up with --- /home/mydir/solr/mysite/ I read somewhere that schema.xml, solr.xml, and solrconfig.xml should be in the /conf directory under the "solr home" directory. So I guess I should create --- /home/mydir/solr/mysite/conf and place my files there. I have added the following to my setting file: HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = { ’default’: { ’ENGINE’: ’haystack.backends.solr_backend.SolrEngine’, ’URL’: ’http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr/mysite' }, } If I set everything up as outlined above should things work? If someone has a clean elegant setup that works and they'd like to share --- I'm very open to suggestions. Thank you for the help. btw - I have worked through the solr tutorial (so solr is working), and I have installed haystack run syncdb (so appears haystack is ready to go also). ----- BillB1951 -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Haystack-Solr-recommended-solr-directory-location-tp3919030p3919030.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
