getting started with Solr Flare

[Fred Zimmerman <wf...@nimblebooks.com>]

Hi,

I followed the very simple instructions found at '

http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Flare/HowTo

but run into a problem at step 4

Launch Solr:
cd <solr installation example directory>; java -Dsolr.solr.home=<point
to solr-ruby's solr home dir> -jar start.jar

where Solr complains that it can't find solrconfig.xml in either the
classpath or the solr-ruby home dir. Can anyone help me disentangle this?

what exactly was the command line you executed? what wsa the real path?

The solrconfig.xml file shouldn't exist *in* the directory you specify 
with -Dsolr.solr.home, it should be at ./conf/solrconfig.xml relative that 
path (or there should be a "./solr.xml" relative that patch in a more 
modern/multi-core setup)
