Hi all, I've installed solr on a RHEL 5 server and it fails to start properly - apparently it's failed to create or find index files.
when running : nohup /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14/bin/java -jar -Xmx1024m -Xms1024m start.jar & I get the following in nohup 27-Nov-2007 15:57:42 org.apache.solr.core.SolrException log SEVERE: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: no segments* file found in org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory@/usr/local/apache-solr-1.2.0/foo/solr/data/index: files: checking /usr/local/apache-solr-1.2.0/foo/solr/data/index I see that there are indeed no files in there - there doesn't appear to be a step when installing where the files would be created so what is going on? the jetty webserver starts but when I visit the solr/admin page I get : HTTP ERROR: 500 Severe errors in solr configuration. Check your log files for more detailed infomation on what may be wrong. If you want solr to continue after configuration errors, change: <abortOnConfigurationError>false</abortOnConfigurationError> in solrconfig.xml ------------------------------------------------------------- java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: no segments* file found in org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory@/usr/local/apache-solr-1.2.0/slando/solr/data/index: files: The configuration is identical to a working installation on another server so I know there is nothing wrong with that, and there is no more additional information available in nohup.out , there is no error log either. I've checked the mail archives for anything similar but I'm getting nothing. A. -- http://www.aarontrevena.co.uk LAMP System Integration, Development and Hosting
