Back at it for more...

So I started over.
I installed openjdk6. Will chronam work with jdk7?
I installed jetty and confirmed it was working. The default version in synaptic package manager is 6. Version 8 is also there but I wanted to go standard for the time being
I installed the jetty-solr package. There was a problem with it not finding solr but I did some research and found that was a bug. I had to do two things to fix it. First I had to change the symbolic link in /var/lib/jetty/webapps for solr to point to /usr/share/solr/web. Then I had to change the symbolic link in usr/lib/jvm for default-java to point to the correct openjdk. That allowed solr to come up.
I went back to the chronam installation and got to the pip install -r requirements statement which appears to have failed with the following (Interesting because it worked before at some point). Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi Glenn,

Chronam doesn't care if Solr is running in a Jetty or Tomcat service container. However it is important that Solr is configured to use the chronam schema, which is independent of the container. You can find the schema xml here:

    https://github.com/LibraryOfCongress/chronam/blob/master/conf/schema.xml

Let us know how it goes.

Hi Ed,

I haven't been able to figure out the relationship between the jetty and the solr yet.

Just as I test I wanted to see if I could install solr straight, apart from the chronam installation. I'm working on that right now and will let you know how that turns out.

Question - does chronam care if it's jetty or tomcat or would either work? I know it's configured for jetty but just wondered if there was anything jetty-specific that would not work with tomcat.

Will be back in touch with more info soon.

Hi Glenn,

Did you ever get any insight into what the jetty url was for the solr servlet? If you are still drawing a blank I would be willing to log in to the machine in question and take a look if you think it could help.

Hi Ed,

Thanks for the last suggestions. I did the git but I still get a 404 error when I do

http://localhost:8080/solr

Interesting comments about javac and what it's looking for. Would it make any difference if it's jdk/jre6 or jdk/jre7? I noticed both were on our server. We installed 6 with the installation instructions for chronam but it looks like the default is 7 for the basic installation. I took 7 off to see if that would make any difference but got the same error. The javac is in /usr/bin

Will keep looking around. Thanks for the continuing help.
