Quick start for Solr 3.6

The attached .zip contains only the essential files needed to run Solr 3.6.2 locally for development and testing with the Apache Solr Search Integration module.

It is a 17 MB download instead of the approx 83 MB download of the full release. Download and unzip it in any convenient location This saves you the first several steps.

the solr/conf directory has the Drupal module configuration files from the apachesolr 7.x-1.1 module (schema name ="drupal-3.0-0-solr3").

the multicore directory d7-core has the same conf files, while the d6-core directory has the apachesolr 6.x-1.7 release conf (schema name="drupal-1.7")

To start solr with a single core for use with Drupal 7.x-1.x, just run:

java -jar start.jar

To run multicore with the 2 configured cores run:

java -Dsolr.solr.home=multicore -jar start.jar

In either case, then navigate to: http://localhost:8983/solr/
