Installing apache solr module
Install the module and place it in the "sites/all/module" folder.
Enable the module via drush or the administrative panel
Install the solr php client library
In order for the module to work, the module depends on the solr php client library.
We are now going to install the PHP library.
Visit the solr php client page on google code: http://code.google.com/p/solr-php-client/downloads/list
Download SolrPhpClient r60 file to the "sites/all/libraries" folder of your website.
-
Revision 60 is the currently tested and suggested revision. Make sure that the final directory is named
SolrPhpClientunder the apachesolr module directory.
Extract this file. Then copy the SolrPhpClient folder to your sites/all/modules/apachesolr/ directory.
Next, you'll have to update your schema.
