Configure Apache solr with drupal 7, and make search fast & efficient.

• [x] add search menu item in the footer to the search page
• [x] index the entire site once, currently only a very small part of the site is indexed
• [x] increase the items to index to 200 for everytime the apache solr cron runs
• [x] remove the author and submitted info in the search results via TPL file and not CSS
• [ ] move solr setup to a separate server.. perhaps the one that is running DBs currently

• I think we have to install only one apache solr, as we have one DB, So we can add only one address of apache solr.
• In apache solr we will add IP address of both web server, so that apache solr will index for both web server.

Also I am not sure, that apache solr is installed on AAP web servers.. I checked by running this command sudo service solr status, it responded service is unrecognized.

SOLR is listening on port 8079 and 8983 on both machines.

and

To start solr use shell script: /opt/ebs/vol1/aap/solr/startSolr.sh

For searching keyword in national site the url is http://www.aamaadmiparty.org/search/site/.

• Currently apache solr has installed in both web server, and running as standalone java application.
• By above configuration indexing of content is getting stored in both web server.
• But it is best to run apache solr in J2EE environment. Also we should use only one server for storing indexing different than web servers. As storing indexes in web server increasing additional load.
• We can use DB server for this. where we will run apachesolr with tomcat.

Done.
