Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Solr Wiki" for chan=
ge notification.

The "SolrOnWindowsAzure" page has been changed by DougMahugh:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrOnWindowsAzure?action=3Ddiff&rev1=3D10&rev2=
=3D11

  ## page was copied from SolrOnAmazonEC2
  =3D Intro =3D
  =

- Solr can be run on [[http://www.amazon.com/ec2|Amazon's EC2]].
+ Solr can be run on Windows Azure. See the tutorial [[http://www.interoper=
abilitybridges.com/Azure/Getting_Started_Guide_Solr_Lucene.asp|Getting Star=
ted with Solr/Lucene on Windows Azure]] for an example of how to configure =
and host Solr/Lucene in Windows Azure using multi-instance replication for =
index-serving and single-instance for index generation with a persistent in=
dex mounted in Azure storage.
  =

- =3D Instructions =3D
+ The tutorial explains how to install the Windows Azure SDK and create a W=
indows Azure subscription and storage account, with links to installation i=
nstructions for the Java JRE and Solr/Lucene. After the prerequisites are h=
andled, the tutorial covers how to install and deploy a sample Windows Azur=
e Solr/Lucene project hosted on [[https://github.com/Microsoft-Interop/Wind=
ows-Azure-Solr/tags|Github]].
  =

- /!\ :TODO: /!\ Fill in instructions once 1.3.0 is up and we create a publ=
ic image for others to use.
+ Typical scenarios addressed with this sample are commercial and publisher=
 sites that need to scale traffic with increasing query volume and need to =
index a maximum of 16 TB of data requiring a small number of index updates =
per day.

- =3D=3D=3D For people new to Solr: =3D=3D=3D
- =

-  1. Get the instance launched.
-  2. SSH to the server.
-  3. type: cd /opt/apache-solr-1.3.0/example
-  4. type: java -jar start.jar
-  5. Your instance will now be running.
-  6. Get your public DNS information.
-  7. Paste your public DNS information to browser and add http://public-dn=
s:8983/solr/admin/
- =

- Feel free to remove this information with better instructions.  This is f=
or people who have never run solr.
- =

- =3D=3D=3D Opening Ports =3D=3D=3D
- By default, port 8983 may not be open.  However, if you have Elasticfox F=
irefox plugin installed you can add it via the Security Groups tab.  Altern=
atively if you are using the ec2 command line tools you can open .  If you =
want to just run on port 80, which is open, then start it via java -Djetty.=
port=3D80 -jar start.jar.

- =3D Thanks =3D

- These results are made possible through the generous support of  Amazon W=
eb Services Apache Projects Testing Program.
- =

- I have created a public AMI (Amazon Machine Image) with the id of ami-8f0=
7e0e6 and manifest description "mahaya-images/mahaya-solr-lucene-server-1.3=
.0-20090318.manifest.xml". Please feel free to use this image as a baseline=
 for the Solr cloud effort. The Solr version installed on the AMI is 1.3.0 =
with Java 1.6 and the operating system is Fedora-8.
- =

- The Solr and Java JDK directories are in the /opt directory.
- =

- In addition I have created a second example directory named example7574 w=
hich can be used to launch a second Solr server(in addition to the default =
instance on port 8983) on the same instance to test sharding.
- =

- I also took the liberty of adding an additional *.xml file to the example=
Docs directory named 'kindle.xml' since this is 'Amazon' EC2:)
- =

- Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

- Cheers,
- Donald Mahaya
