[not maintained] Setup Solr and Jetty for Debian & RedHat distributions

Solr Install

##Get started cd /tmp/ git clone https://github.com/lbdremy/solr-install.git cd solr-install ./install.sh sudo ./etc/init.d/jetty start

• Now visit http://localhost:8983/solr

##Notes In Redhat Enterprise Linux you cannot execute from /tmp because /tmp is mounted as noexec. On attempt it gives you the following error: "bad interpreter: Permission denied", so cloned and executed it somewhere else.

solr-install's Issues

merge redhat vs debian

create separate scripts for

install_yum.sh
install_apt.sh

and have them both call
install.sh

Use BASEDIR in install scripts

It would be nice to remove the references to /tmp/ in install scripts, so that they can be run from anywhere:

You should still unpack downloads to /tmp/ but for reference to files in /solr-install/ use BASEDIR

Add contributor

Since this is no longer maintained, and I still use it quite often, I've been maintaining under my own fork.

Any chance to hand over ownership of this project or even add me as a contributor?

Cannot be executed from /tmp

In Redhat Enterprise Linux you cannot execute from /tmp because /tmp is mounted as noexec. On attempt it gives you the following errror: "bad interpreter: Permission denied"

The install process should prompt for this in these distros or you should ammend your installation procedure in README.md to annotate this.
