i have just unzipped SOLR zip file downloaded from their website. and it says in the tutorial i have to edit the solrconfig.xml file. there are several in different locations.

which one is it? and where should i have this root folder? inside my web space?

LICENSE.txt  README.txt  client   contrib   docs   lib
CHANGES.txt  NOTICE.txt  build.xml  common-build.xml dist   example   src

ive got one in example/solr/conf. is it that one?

and about the data-config-xml. should i create one and then type in the path to it in solrconfig.xml? the tutorial isnt that descriptive.

Hi,

You are correct that's the directory

see here see here http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrInstall#Setup

The 2 files you'll have to edit at some point are:

  • solr/conf/solrconfig.xml
  • solr/conf/schema.xml

Which OS are you installing on? If it's windows then i can help you out.. as i've done it many times ;)

Cool.. I'd recommend this book also: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/#10+November+2009+-+Solr+1.4+Released I've read it... Like you wish i'd read it before i started working in Solr.
