Question

After installing collective.solr via buildout, I am getting the following error when attempting to run bin/solr-instance start

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bin/solr-instance", line 110, in <module>
 start(True)
File "bin/solr-instance", line 43, in start
 stdout=logfp, stderr=logfp).pid
File "/usr/local/Plone/Python-2.6/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 633, in __init__
 errread, errwrite)
File "/usr/local/Plone/Python-2.6/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1139, in _execute_child
 raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

This is a Plone 4.1.3 zeoserver installation. Any ideas?

I’ve tried two different ways of getting this installed. I first attempted to extend the buildout, as instructed on the pypi instructions. I also tried inserting the bits directly into my buildout.cfg file.

Here is the buildout.cfg file with the solr bits directly in it. http://pastie.org/3798794

This is a development build, please excuse the mess….

Update on this issue.

It turns out that the issue was server related. My Red Hat installation did not have java installed. After installing java on the system with:

yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk*

running bin/solr-instance start resulted in Solr starting as expected.
