To have a working initial config, use: cp -R %%LOCALBASE%%/solr/example/example-DIH/solr/solr /var/db/solr/ chown -R solr /var/db/solr/solr To rotate solr log files include /var/log/solr/ to your log rotation configuration. To enable the port execute: sysrc solr_enable="YES" And start it with: service solr start =======================================================================
