Re: no .war with ubuntu release ?
: Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 19:00:18 -0400 : From: Jonathan Vanasco : Subject: no .war with ubuntu release ? : after countless searching, it seems that there is no .war file in the distro : http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/all/solr-common/filelist : http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/all/solr-jetty/filelist : : as you can see, there is no .war i'm not familiar with the ubuntu packaging, but by the looks of those file lists, they have unzipedthe solr.war into /usr/share/solr/ (note the WEB-INF directory). the interesting thing about java webapps is that they can be distributed as a war file or as a directory ... most servlet containers actually unzip the war file into a directory on local disk anyway (so they don't have to keep the whole thing in memory) and it looks like the ubuntu packagers just decided to package the uncompressed webapp in the .deb instead of having a war in there that would get uncompressed on first usage. that's just a theory however, and doens't explain why it isn't working for you. presumably somwhere in one of the jetty config files there should be a refrence to /user/share/ as the place to fine webapps, and a refrence to /etc/solr as the SolrHomeDir. -Hoss
no .war with ubuntu release ?
i'm a bit confused. hoping someone can help. solr is awesome on my macbook for development. i've been fighting with getting solr-jetty running on my ubuntu box all day. after countless searching, it seems that there is no .war file in the distro should this be the case? the actual files are : http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/all/solr-common/filelist http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/all/solr-jetty/filelist as you can see, there is no .war there are several .jars in this directory /usr/share/solr/WEB-INF/lib/ can anyone give me a suggestion ? i haven't touched java / jetty / tomcat / whatever in at least a good 8 years and am lost.

I spent a lot of time trying to get this working too. My conclusion was simply that the .deb packages for Solr are unmaintained and have fallen victim to bitrot. You'll have a much easier time getting it from a maven repository or just downloading a binary release. I wish that it would be removed from the Ubuntu repositories though if it isn't fixed as its presence there seems to cause more harm than good. -Phil
