Background: recently I moved my nodebb forum to another server, till now it runs surprisingly good. I only found one problem: the solr searching plugin. It does not work, and the problem comes from the basic settings. After checking the internet a whole day. I made some progress:
As I understand, solr plugin needs to be deployed first and nodebb needs to connect it. At first I tried the easiest way: sudo apt install solr-tomcat
, but it does not work: tomcat is fine, I can access it by example:8080
, but solr does not work. I suspect the reason is that the new version of solr is a separated app (I learnt it from the internet).
Then I tried to download the solr-8.5.1.tgz, and put it somewhere, then run the solr service. It runs surprisingly, by such an easy way... The problem is that solr runs at example:8983
. Then, I set as the following in the solr plugin, it is still not connected.
So not I dont know what am I supposed to do next. Any ideas?
