Solr is installed using Bitnami's Solr installation package. The installation package is available on the internal software servers in Digizuite.

The installer is an executable, that’ll install everything you need.

Once installed, you need to note two things:

  • URL to Solr

  • UNC to Solr directory

The latter is where the physical index files are stored. The default is the below path:

C:\Bitnami\solr-8.3.1-1\apache-solr\server\solr

These are used to configure the Digizuite and should be used in the web.config.

Post-installation

Once Solr is installed, it is very important to disable the Username/password authentication on Solr, as the Digizuite API does not support that.

This can be done using the following steps:

  1. Stop SolrServices (SolrJetty/SolrApache)

  2. open the Solr config file (Default: C:\Bitnami\solr-8.3.1-1\apache-solr\conf\solr.conf)

  3. Remove the LocationMatch section entirely and save

  4. Start SolrServices
