Upgrade of solr 4.0 to 4.8.1 query

[Steve Howe <da...@steelsword.org.uk>]

Hi all,

First time posting so the regular sorry if this is a popular question..

Anyhoo - I'm running solr 4.0 on a test rig with multicore and I would like
to upgrade to 4.8.1. I can't find any clear tutorials on this on the web
and I can only see a thread on 4.2 -> 4.7 on the mailing list.

Can anyone confirm of I need to change config wildly on an upgrade, using
tomcat and war files, of 4.0 -> 4.8.1 in situ pls?

Cheers

Steve

Upgrade steps are carried along in the CHANGES.txt file, there's a section
for every release (i.e. 4.1 -> 4.2, 4.5 -> 4.7) etc. There's no 4.0 -> 4.8
in a single go though. So I'd start there.

Best,
Erick

You can do lots of new stuff, but I believe the old config will run ok
without changes. One thing to be aware of is the logging jar
unbundling and manual correction for that when running under tomcat.
That's on the Wiki somewhere and should have been covered in 4.2 to
4.7 change.
