Thanks Tejas for your reply. I'll follow your advice and install Ubuntu
and then Tomcat, Nutch and Solr.

Hi Lewis and thanks for your reply. I will try to be as much detailed as
possible to allow you to understand the shortcomings I incurred during
installation of Nutch and Solr on my PC, which is a 64 bit running Windows
7.
I canvassed wiki apache and found this link:

Even though it explains Nutch 1.2 installation on Windows 7 I thought it
might fit for Nutch 1.6 as well.
Everything went smooth until step 4 of the presentation. Step 4 puzzled me
and decided to skip it.
I went on and made the changes in XML as stated in ensuing steps.
Problem arouse at Step 7 where it reads: Go to *nutch*-1.2\conf\ and edit
the file crawl-urlfilter.txt
Those steps are old. Skip step #7 and proceed.
I didn't find it in my Nutch directories and got into a cul de sac.
PS: I just learned what "cul de sac" means !! thanks for adding to my vocab
:)
Presently in my PC I have installed as follows:
C:\Users\Andrea\Documents\**apache-tomcat-7.0.40\apache-**tomcat-7.0.40
C:\cygwin\home\apache-nutch-1.**6-bin\apache-nutch-1.6
C:\cygwin\home\solr-4.2.0\**solr-4.2.0
I am also asking your advice on this: is it only my laziness/stubborness
to continue to install them on Windows, in other terms would you suggest to
drop Windows and install Ubuntu and restart the procedure in the new op.
system?
I happened only once to come across Ubuntu, does it permit to host
simultaneously and use on the same PC Windows and Ubuntu itself?
You can have Ubuntu + Windows installed on the same m/c. See this:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-ubuntu-with-windows
Its super easy to setup Ubuntu with that and its worth of spending an hour
or two.
Thanks for your welcome opinion.

Hi Andrea,
Please describe the problem here. There is an absence of any detail about
what is wrong here.
Thanks

Hi everyone, I am a newcomer to Nutch and Solr and, after studying
literature available on web, I tried to install them on _Windows 7_.
I have not been able to match the few instructions on the wikiapache site
nor I could find a guide updated to Nutch 1.6 but only for older versions
I tried by following old versions guides on the web but never succeeded
in the installation, often because of differences from what the guide read
and what I saw on screen.
I followed the steps by installing:
- Tomcat
- Java jdk 7
- Cygwin, Nutch 1.6 and Solr 4
Everything went apparently smooth and I copied Nutch and Solr in:
C:\cygwin\home\apache-nutch-1.**6-bin
and
C:\cygwin\home\solr-4.2.0\**solr-4.2.0
Whilst the two folders: jdk1.7.0_21 and jre7, are within the Java folder
in Programs directory
I apologize for my dumbness but I couldn't find how to manage it. If
somebody has a clear and detailed step by step pattern to follow for
installing Nutch 1.6 and Solr 4 I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.
Andrea Lanzoni
