Solr 7.4 Config for Winsor and Newton Archive

winsorAndNewtonArchiveSolr

Search index installation

The original system used a search form that pulled data from a MySQL instance. This has now been bypassed and uses Solr 7.4 for the search index and the Solarium PHP library. To install this you will need to pull code from another repository as detailed below. Once installed you should be ready to go.

To install solr 7.4 you need Java 8 on your system.

java -version

Check the output comes back with

 java version "1.8.0_144"

Now:

cd /opt
wget http://www-eu.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/7.4.0/solr-7.4.0.tgz
tar xzf solr-7.4.0.tgz solr-7.4.0/bin/install_solr_service.sh --strip-components=2
sudo bash ./install_solr_service.sh solr-7.4.0.tgz

Change to sudo user:

sudo su - 

From here on assume you will be as sudo to solr user:

sudo su - solr -c "/opt/solr/bin/solr create -c winsor -n data_driven_schema_configs"
sudo su - solr -c "/opt/solr/bin/solr create -c winsorSearches -n data_driven_schema_configs"

Now set up your config for these cores.

git clone https://github.com/FitzwilliamMuseum/winsorAndNewtonArchiveSolr
mv winsorAndNewtonArchiveSolr/winsor/conf winsor/
mv winsorAndNewtonArchiveSolr/winsorSearches/conf winsorSearches/
mv winsorAndNewtonArchiveSolr/rawdata /home/data
rm -r winsorAndNewtonArchiveSolr/

Restart solr

service solr restart

To check if solr is running

service solr status

Now import the data to system from the csv files associated.

/opt/solr/bin/post -c winsor /home/data/data_7.csv
/opt/solrbin/post -c winsorSearches /home/data/searches.csv

To stop and start solr

service solr stop|start
