It looks like if you set a -Dsolr.data.dir=foo then you could specify
where the index would be stored, yes? Are you properly setting your
solr.home? I've never had to set the data directory specifically, Solr
has always put it under my home.
From solrconfig.xml:
<dataDir>${solr.data.dir:./solr/data}</dataDir>
Since Solr is running under tomcat, I'd assume that the index will
always appear to be owned by tomcat as well. I don't think there is
any way to have a different user for the written files - but someone
else might want to chime in before you believe me 100% on this one.
Thanks for your time!

Hi. I'm sorry if this is the second time this message comes through!
A few questions here...
#1
Does anyone know how to set the user/group and/or permissions on the
index
that solr creates? It's always the tomcat user. Is it possible to
change
this in my context file? Help!
#2
I'm deploying Solr via Tomcat and really thought I had this stuff
down. But
it seems that with some recent system upgrades, my scheme is failing
to set
the data dir correctly.
I'm deploying solr to tomcat, using a context file as described here:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat#head-024d7e11209030f1dbcac9974e55106abae837ac
But when I deploy, Tomcat says that it can't find a ./data/index
directory
-- relative to the tomcat home directory. How can I set the data dir
relative to the solr home value I'm specifying in the tomcat context
file?
Note: a hard-coded absolute path works, but I want to configure at
deployment time.
In the past, I tried setting the data dir in the same way the solr
home is
set in the context file without luck. Does this now work in the
latest solr
nightly?
Thanks,
