dataimport indexing fails: where are my log files ? ;-)

[Fred Zimmerman <zi...@gmail.com>]

dumb question ...

today I set up solr3.4/example, indexing to 8983 via post is working, so is
search, solr/dataimport reports

<str name="Total Rows Fetched">0</str>
<str name="Total Documents Processed">0</str>
<str name="Total Documents Skipped">0</str>
<str name="Full Dump Started">2011-10-19 18:13:57</str>
<str name="">Indexing failed. Rolled back all changes.</str>

Google tells me to look at the exception logs to find out what's happening
... but, I can't find the logs!   Where are they? example/logs is an empty
directory.

I believe that if you are running the example Solr without any changes 
related to logging, that information will be dumped to stdout/stderr.  
If you are starting Solr as a daemon or a service, it may be going 
someplace you can't retrieve it.  Start it directly from the commandline 
and/or alter your startup command to redirect stdout/stderr to files.

I hope that's actually helpful!
