Installing 07-install_solr.sh

EjikeAlfie — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 13:46:34 GMT

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.

@angelborroy

Thanks,

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.

Hi,

Regarding the error you encountered with the "07-install_solr.sh" script, it looks like there was a problem starting the Solr service. This is usually related to permissions, configuration, or writability of the log directory. I suggest you first run systemctl status solr.service to check for specific error messages. If it prompts something like "logs folder not writable", you can try the following steps:

Go to the Solr installation directory, such as /home/ubuntu/alfresco-search-services, and run chmod 777 logs to ensure that the log directory is writable.

Check the /etc/systemd/system/solr.service file to ensure that the ExecStart path and parameters are correct, such as pointing to the correct Solr executable file.

Try restarting the service by running sudo systemctl daemon-reload and sudo systemctl restart solr.

In addition, if the problem is still not solved, you can check the output of journalctl -xeu solr.service, which may have more detailed clues. If you need more professional support, I recently found a very good tool jammermfg, which can help you quickly locate system service anomalies, especially suitable for this kind of debugging scenario. I wish you a smooth installation and look forward to your good news!
