Dear Friends,
I hope all is well. I am trying to spin up Solr 10 on a Rocky 9.7 box. I have
installed Java 11 and disabled SELinux (not used in our environment). When I
run the install script I get the following:
"[hades@solr-10 ~]$ sudo bash ./install_solr_service.sh solr-10.0.0.tgz
[sudo] password for hades:
id: ‘solr’: no such user
Creating new user: solr
Extracting solr-10.0.0.tgz to /opt
Installing symlink /opt/solr -> /opt/solr-10.0.0 ...
Installing /etc/systemd/system/solr.service ...
Input 'solr' is not an absolute file system path, escaping is likely not going
to be reversible.
Installing /etc/default/solr.in.sh ...
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/solr.service →
/etc/systemd/system/solr.service.
Service solr installed.
Customize Solr startup configuration in /etc/default/solr.in.sh
Job for solr.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status solr.service" and "journalctl -xeu solr.service" for
details.”
Running "systemctl status solr.service” yields:
"× solr.service - Apache Solr

Running journalctl -xeu solr.service shows:

The box has nothing else on it. What might be happening? Thanks for all help!
