Do you see any errors coming in on the console, stderr? I start solr this way and redirect the stdout and stderr to log files, when I have a problem stderr generally has the answer:
java \ -server \ -Djetty.port=8080 \ -Dsolr.solr.home=/opt/solr \ -Dsolr.data.dir=/mnt/solr_data \ -jar /opt/solr/start.jar >/opt/solr/logs/stdout.log 2>/opt/solr/logs/stderr.log & -----Original Message----- From: Sushrut Bidwai [mailto:bidwai.sush...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2012 7:40 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: solr + jetty deployment issue Hi, I am having trouble with getting solr + jetty to work. I am following all instructions to the letter from - http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJetty. I also created a work folder - /opt/solr/work. I am also setting tmpdir to a new path in /etc/default/jetty . I am confirming the tmpdir is set to the new path from admin dashboard, under args. It works like a charm. But when I restart jetty multiple times, after 3/4 such restarts it starts hanging. Admin pages just dont load and my app fails to acquire a connection with solr. What I might be missing? Should I be rather looking at my code and see if I am not committing correctly? Please let me know if you have faced similar issue in the past and how to tackle it. Thank you. -- Best Regards, Sushrut
