Solr4 installation with Jetty

Question

I am trying to install Solr4 latest and want to run it with Jetty (servlet container).

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre
JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dsolr.solr.home=/opt/solr $JAVA_OPTIONS"
JETTY_HOME=/opt/solr
JETTY_USER=solr
JETTY_LOGS=/opt/solr/logs
JETTY_ARGS=/opt/solr/etc/jetty-plus.xml

I download jetty init script from LINK

I added it chkconfig. Issue which I facing is that when I start jetty it is not getting started. I followed the instructions provided on URL but nothing seems to be working.

netstat output

[root@localhost ~]# netstat -tlnp | grep 8983
[root@localhost ~]#

Nothing comes up in log file too I checked syslog as well as log defined in jetty too.

However when i run service jetty supervise it works and I can see the jetty is listening on port 8080. But its not getting started with init script.

Any clue what I have missed here, or let me know if any more infor is required from my end.

Aditional Info

Changing to bash shell should work for you. It seems that you have messed with installation

Let me give you steps to do it which worked for me:

I downloaded solr4.10.1 .

cd /tmp
wget http://apache.arvixe.com/lucene/solr/4.10.1/solr-4.10.1.tgz
tar -xzf solr-4.10.1.tgz

As you have messed up the installation I would suggest to take backup if you want and delete /opt/solr and do the following

cp -rf /tmp/solr-4.10.1/example /opt/solr

Adduser solr if not added

useradd -d /opt/solr -s /sbin/false solr
chown solr:solr -R /opt/solr

From Apache link

NOTE: If you don't have start-stop-daemon tool you have to setup /bin/bash instead /sbin/false.

Create default jetty file as below :

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre
JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dsolr.solr.home=/opt/solr/solr $JAVA_OPTIONS"
JETTY_HOME=/opt/solr
JETTY_USER=solr
JETTY_LOGS=/opt/solr/logs

NOTE: If you notice JAVA_OPTIONS in your default jetty file I have changed it to /opt/solr/solr do the same. Let other thing remain same.

Create /opt/solr/etc/jetty-logging.xml as Provided on link

Now download jetty 7 init script

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse/jetty.project/master/jetty-distribution/src/main/resources/bin/jetty.sh

cp jetty.sh /etc/init.d/jetty
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/jetty
chkconfig jetty on

So far we did single Solr installation with single core (collection1) , now start solr service and check if it is running and listening on default port

service jetty start

Go to your URL and http://IP:8983/solr and it should work fine for you.

Now we will go for Multicore setup

Move the folder /opt/solr/solr to /opt/solr/solr-bkp or delete it .

mv /opt/solr/solr /opt/solr/solr-bkp

Move the multicore folder as /opt/solr/solr

mv /opt/solr/multicore /opt/solr/solr

And you are done other details you can follow from the document SolrJetty

Hope this will help you.

Thanks for detailed steps .. Let me try this as well and will get back to you. — , Oct 08 '14 at 15:35

Not sure if you've resolved this, but having gone through the same trouble, the fix for me was setting the shell for the solr user to /bin/bash instead of /bin/false.

No that did not work for me :( `grep solr /etc/passwd solr:x:501:502::/opt/solr:/bin/bash` – Oct 02 '14 at 19:12
