\nSolr is an open source enterprise search platform from the Apache Lucene project written in Java. Its major features include powerful full-text search, hit highlighting, faceted search, dynamic clustering, database integration, and rich document (e.g., Word, PDF) handling. Providing distributed search and index replication, Solr is highly scalable. Solr runs as a standalone full-text search server within a servlet container such as Apache Tomcat. Solr uses the Lucene Java search library at its core for full-text indexing and search, and has REST-like HTTP\/XML and JSON APIs that make it easy to use from virtually any programming language. (Wiki)<\/a><\/p>\n

Steps to install Solr on windows: <\/p>\n

1. If you have successfully installed Tomcat Server (using Xampp probably), try opening localhost:8080<\/a>. If this shows a page with message “If you’re seeing this page via a web browser, it means you’ve setup Tomcat successfully. Congratulations!” , you are good to go to second step. We assume tomcat has been installed under D:\\xampp\\tomcat<\/p>\n

2. Download and unzip the Solr distribution zip file into a temp folder at D:\\temp\\solrZip\\
\nLatest build (As of Apr 16, 2012) can be downloaded from here : http:\/\/mirrors.axint.net\/apache\/lucene\/solr\/3.6.0\/apache-solr-3.6.0.zip<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Create a directory as “solr home” directory called, where you intend the application server to function, You may create it inside xampp installation directory itself at
\nD:\\xampp\\solr<\/p>\n

4. Copy the contents of the example\\solr directory D:\\temp\\solrZip\\example\\solr\\ to D:\\xampp\\solr\\<\/p>\n

5. Stop the Tomcat service<\/p>\n

6. Copy the *solr*.war file from D:\\temp\\solrZip\\dist\\ to the Tomcat webapps directory D:\\xampp\\tomcat\\webapps\\ and rename the *solr*.war file solr.war<\/p>\n

7. Configure Tomcat to recognize the solr home directory you created, by adding the Java Options -Dsolr.solr.home=D:\\xampp\\solr\\ and -Dsolr.velocity.enabled=false
\neither use the system tray icon to add the java option
\nor manually edit the environment script D:\\xampp\\tomcat\\bin\\setenv.bat and add it to JAVA_OPTS<\/p>\n

* Note: For Tomcat 7 and Solr3.6, the above option on setenv.bat may not work, so you could not use it and put this code fragment
\non $CATALINA_HOME\/conf\/Catalina\/localhost\/solr.xml<\/p>\n

<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>
\n<Context docBase=\"D:\\xampp\\tomcat\\webapps\\solr.war\" debug=\"0\" crossContext=\"true\" >
\n <Environment name=\"solr\/home\" type=\"java.lang.String\" value=\"D:\\xampp\\solr\\\" override=\"true\" \/>
\n<\/Context><\/code><\/p>\n

8. Start the Tomcat service<\/p>\n

9. Go to the solr admin page to verify that the installation is working. It will be at http:\/\/localhost:8080\/solr\/admin<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You are good to go with Solr over Tomcat now.. .<\/p>\n
