Commerce 11: Issue with Solr search configuration.

Hi,

I have tried to replace Lucense search to Solr search in the commerce application. For that, I followed the below guide from EPiServer.

http://world.episerver.com/documentation/developer-guides/commerce/search/Configuring-Solr-search-provider/

In the step 2 (Install the Solr Application) I have completed the following first two points (1 & 2), but I faced issues on the 3 and 4th points:

  1. Download the Solr installation files (version 3.5) from Apache Solr.
  2. From this  package, copy  apache*.war into [Tomcat installation path]/webapps path].
  3. Download the version of the EPiServer.Commerce.Solr35SearchProvider NuGet package that matches your Commerce site.
  4. Place the solr folder in the Tomcat installation directory.

The problem is, after downloading the package (EPiServer.Commerce.Solr35SearchProvider  version 11.2.0) there is no "SOLR" folder inside. Due to this issue unable to proceed with "Place the solr folder in the Tomcat installation directory"  and  "Edit the schema file in the Tomcat instance at solr/catalog/conf/schema.xml".

Kindly helping on this to complete the configuration setup.

Also I tried using default schema from solr and the solr admin panel is working,  but EpiServer commerce index throws the error.

HTTP Status 404 - /solr/catalog/update
type Status report
message /solr/catalog/update
description The requested resource is not available.
Apache Tomcat/7.0.81

I found some workarround for this problem. In the solr.xml I Just replaced the default cores name to "catalog" and it is working now.

<cores adminPath="/admin/cores" defaultCoreName="catalog">
<core name="catalog" instanceDir="." />
</cores>

Thanks

That's ok for solr.xml, but where you get the solr folder to place in the Tomcat installation directory..
