At my workplace we're using Solr 4.5 as packaged in Bigtop 0.7.0.
Today I was trying out the Solr 4.9 from the 0.8.0 RC, and it looks
like some paths have changed. In /usr/lib/solr/tomcat-deployment.sh
there are two lines:
cp -r ${SOLR_HOME}/webapps ${TOMCAT_DEPLOYMENT}/webapps
cp -r ${TOMCAT_CONF}/WEB-INF/* ${TOMCAT_DEPLOYMENT}/webapps/solr/WEB-INF/
I found that to actually get a working Solr setup, I needed to change
these two lines to:
cp -r ${SOLR_HOME}/server/webapps ${TOMCAT_DEPLOYMENT}/webapps
cp -r ${SOLR_HOME}/server/webapps/solr/WEB-INF/*
${TOMCAT_DEPLOYMENT}/webapps/solr/WEB-INF/
Also, /usr/lib/solr/bin/zkcli.sh doesn't run, probably due to a similar
rearrangement:
[ec2-user@ip-X-Y-Z-W ~]$ /usr/lib/solr/bin/zkcli.sh
unzip: cannot find or open /usr/lib/solr/bin/../../webapps/solr.war,
/usr/lib/solr/bin/../../webapps/solr.war.zip or
/usr/lib/solr/bin/../../webapps/solr.war.ZIP.
Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.solr.cloud.ZkCLI
There's no solr.war file in solr-4.9.0.466-1.el6.noarch; the file is
now /usr/lib/solr/solr-4.9.0.war and nothing seems to create a
solr.war symlink.
