assuming you have the example running from example folder in the standard distribution by doing java -jar start.jar
this is what I did to get the same running as a service download the jetty distribution (I used 6.1.21) copy the bin folder over to example copy etc\jetty-win32-service.xml to example\etc copy lib\win32 folder over to example\lib in example\bin\jetty-service.conf add this after wrapper.java.additional.2=-Djetty.logs=../logs wrapper.java.additional.3=-Dsolr.solr.home=../solr in example\solr\conf change this line <dataDir>${solr.data.dir:./solr/data}</dataDir> to <dataDir>${solr.data.dir:../solr/data}</dataDir> (double .. instead of single . before /solr ) then as administrator from cmd prompt in the bin folder do Jetty-Service.exe --install jetty-service.conf net start jetty6-service HTH Ron ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roland Villemoes" <r...@alpha-solutions.dk> To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Friday, 5 February, 2010 6:07:03 PM Subject: SV: Running Solr (LucidWorks) as a Windows Server Hi All, Thanks a lot for your help in this.
