SOLR Install
Hi,
I am a new user and I have installed SOLR 3.1.0 and running Tomcat 7.0.
I was able to run the example which shows the SOLR Admin screen. Also posted an XML file by this command from dos prompt: java -jar post.jar solr.xml.
How can I get SOLR to search web sites and also search through other types of files, databases, etc?
Instead of running the example that comes with SOLR, How do I create my own?
Also can you point me to a SOLR Guide or documentation? I did not see any detailed documentation.
Please show me where can I post messages on the SOLR web site.
Thanks,
Raj

Great.

Solr does not crawl websites. You probably want Nutch, or some other
crawler. Files, and databases are possible

Um, start by modifying the examples, maybe? There are more examples
that cover files, DB, etc. Please do ask here if you run into issues.

Er, what? Solr is probably among the best-documented FOSS projects, and
I can honestly say that because I have done none of the aforesaid
documentation :-)
the SolrWiki is fantastic:
* Complete list: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FrontPage
* Initial tutorial: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html
* For easy data import from a database, you could consider
using the DataImportHandler:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler

Not sure what that means.

Thanks, Yuhan. I will look into both methods. Which is better or which method is recommended?
How do I search through a database?

Hi Raj,
To index files using java, use solrj:

Roger, how about not hijacking another user's thread and not hijacking your
already hijacked thread twice more? Chaning the e-mail subject won't change

Roger,
You have to import/index into Solr before you can search it. Solr can't go into
your MS SQL server and search data in there.

Roger,
" .. but that looks like it is for importing .." it will remain the same
- no matter how often you'll search for it :) because that is .. what
solr is for. you have to import (and this means indexing, analyzing ..)
the whole content that you want to search.
You could either use DIH to import that content directly or use the
UpdateXML- / UpdateJSON-Handler to push the Content to SOLR.
Regards
Stefan

That is exactly what you need. You first have to import the
data into Solr/Lucene before you can search it. I think that
you might be mistaken in your view of Solr: It is *not* an
add-on to a database that allows search.

How can I use SOLR (version 3.1) to search in our Microsoft SQL Server database?
I looked at the DIH example but that looks like it is for importing. I also looked at the following link: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler
Please send me a link to any instructions to set up SOLR so that I can search the database.
Thank You,
Roger

This question would be better asked on the Nutch forum rather than the

Nutch Crawl error
Posted by Roger Shah <rs...@caci.com>.
I ran the command bin/nutch crawl urls -dir crawl -depth 3 >& crawl.log
When I viewed crawl.log I found some errors such as:
Can't retrieve Tika parser for mime-typeapplication/x-shockwave-flash, and some other similar messages for other types such as application/xml, etc.
Do I need to download Tika for these errors to go away? Where can I download Tika so that it can work with Nutch? If there are instructions to install Tika to work with Nutch please send them to me.
Thanks,
Roger
