WPSOLR >= 19.1
With the release of WPSOLR 19.1, this guide is no use anymore. You can directly go to the next step.
The creation of a Solr index now takes:
- 10 seconds with SolrCloud: fully automatic process from the plugin admin.
No need anymore to download WPSOLR config files, upload them as config sets to zookeeper, or to create manually a collection. This is done in one click in the plugin UI.
- 1 minute with Apache Solr: semi-automatic process from the plugin admin.
The plugin will give you the system commands to execute on your Solr server filesystem to download WPSOLR config files, copy them as config sets. No need to create the core index, the plugin will also take care of it.
Just compare to the tedious manual procedures described below.
WPSOLR < 19.1
(If your index is hosted at Gotosolr, please follow the dedicated tutorial)
This procedure was last tested on Apache Solr 6.6.0
(Solr 6.5 may not display suggestions, due to a Solr bug. See ticket).
We will suppose here that you already installed your Apache Solr server 5.x.x / 6.x.x, and downloaded our Apache Solr configuration files specially designed for WPSOLR.
Create a blank index named “new-index”
Use a command like:
solr-6.x.x/bin/solr create -c new-index
Download Apache Solr configuration files
Download link is here.
Unzip Apache Solr configuration files
Copy Apache Solr configuration files to your index /conf directory
cp elevate.xml schema.xml solrconfig.xml stopwords.txt solr-6.1.0/server/solr/new-index/conf/
Edit your solrconfig.xml file to change the lucene version
Change the lucene version to your lucene version.
Reload your index or restart Apache Solr
This is necessary to get your index start using the configuration files.
Errors and warnings during the index reload
Exception in reloading spell check index for spellchecker: suggestThis error appears when the index is reloaded for the first time, then disappears. Solr is trying to load the spellcheck index data file, before it’s created.
