Perhaps you could hard code it in the solrconfig.xml file for each
solr instance? Other than that, what we did was run multiple instances
of Tomcat. That way if something goes bad in one, it doesn't affect
the others.
Thanks for your time!

Hi Matthew,
The problem is that we have multiple instances of solr running under
one
tomcat. So setting -Dsolr.data.dir=foo would set the home for every
solr. I
guess multi-core might solve my problem, but that'd change our app
architecture too much, maybe some other day.
I *kind* of have a solution for the permissions thing though:
- The project user is part of the tomcat group.
- The tomcat user is part of the project user group.
- We're making a call to "umask 002" in the tomcat catalina.sh file
(means
all files created will have group write)
So when solr (tomcat) creates the index, they're group writable now
and I
can remove etc.!
So, I still need to figure out the data.dir problem. Hmm.
Thanks for your help,
Matt

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,
