Installing 07-install_solr.sh

[EjikeAlfie]

Good day All,

I am new to Alfresco and I am trying to install Alfresco in ubuntu via zip distribution files. I have been able to run the scripts so far but when I run the "07-install_solr.sh", I get the following error below:

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Reloading systemd daemon...
Starting Solr service...
Job for solr.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status solr.service" and "journalctl -xeu solr.service" for details. 

Please if anyone has experienced this error and can assist me, I would really appreciate it.

Good day folks,

I was able to resolve this by doing the following:
1. if it gives you the error "logs folder not writable. Exiting". In the Linux terminal, go to /home/ubuntu/alfresco-search-services$ chmod 777 logs.  This would make your logs folder writable for everyone.

2. Go to your PC and search for home/ubuntu/alfresco-search-services/logs folder and remove every file there except for:

a. log4j.properties b.README c.solr

rerun the bash script and everything should work. I hope this helps someone.
