Hello,

I just wanted to give SOLR 5 a try, however there probably have changed quite some bits in the config files, did not even manage to create a core with various solrconfig.xml and schema.xml files, but I am absolutely no expert in solr. Has anybody given it a try or are there some tips on how to get it running?

regards, Robert

Using solr-5.0.0 with a single core here, the last one I managed to get working with dovecot 1.1.18.

Starting from 5.1.0 solr changed behaviour and complains with "Bad contentType for search handler :text/xml" (I've tried to change dovecot header requests to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" but I got a "missing content stream" error).

Here some further steps I did to get it working, not sure if it's the correct way of doing it, though (but I'm sure that someone will correct me where I'm wrong).

I've created a new folder server/solr/dovecot/ with a file core.properties and two subdirs: data and conf.

My core.properties contains these four lines: name=dovecot config=solrconfig.xml schema=schema.xml dataDir=data

in the server/solr/dovecot/conf dir I initially copied the content of one of the sample dirs (server/solr/configsets/basic_configs/conf) and then I copied as schema.xml the solr-schema.xml from dovecot install.

This changes the main url path of solr, so I had to point dovecot config to http://localhost:8983/solr/dovecot/ and the crontab became: # solr 0 0 * * * curl http://localhost:8983/solr/dovecot/update?optimize=true */10 * * * * curl http://localhost:8983/solr/dovecot/update?commit=true &>/dev/null

If someone knows how to keep the usual main "http://localhost:8983/solr/" url with solr-5, please let me know how to do it.

In bin/init.d/solr there is an init.d script with some comments to get it correctly configured and some pointer to the other config steps (such as create a solr user, edit conf/solr.in.sh for other environment variables, and so on).
