1- Install openjdk

Jetty 9 requires JDK 7, so if you don’t have it installed, install it first. In Ubuntu, it is very convenient to install openjdk using apt-get. For this section, we will be using Jetty instead of Tomcat. If you want a simple installation, execute the following command :

$ sudo apt-get purge oracle-java6-installer
$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

$ sudo apt-get install tomcat7 tomcat7-admin

2- Install Jetty 9

Get Jetty 9: http://eclipse.org/downloads/

Extract the tarball of Jetty 9 to a preferred directory, e.g. /opt. Then set $JETTY_HOME, create a new user called “jetty” and make it the owner of $JETTY_HOME.

Note : If you want to change the port Jetty runs on, edit start.ini in $JETTY_HOME and change jetty.port
sudo nano /opt/jetty/start.ini
…

#=============
# HTTP Connector
#———————–
jetty.port=9090
http.timeout=30000
etc/jetty-http.xml

…

3- Install Solr package and test it

We can now start the real installation of Solr. First, download all files and uncompress them:

cd /opt
wget http://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/4.9.1/solr-4.9.1.tgz
tar -zxvf solr-4.9.1.tgz

Make a quick test to see if it works …

cp -R solr-4.9.1/example /opt/solr
cd /opt/solr/example
java -jar start.jar

Check if it works by visiting http://YOUR_IP:8983/solr. When it works, go back into your SSH session and close the window with Ctrl+C to stop java. Now we will make it work without java-jar start.jar

Make a place for Solr
# mkdir /opt/solr
Copy the Solr config into place
# cp -a solr-4.9.1/example/solr /opt/solr
# cp -a solr-4.9.1/dist/ /opt/solr
# cp -a solr-4.9.1/contrib/ /opt/solr

Make a place for logs
# mkdir /opt/solr/logs

Everything is owned by Solr:
Create the Solr user and grant it permissions:

sudo useradd -d /opt/solr -s /sbin/false solr
sudo chown solr:solr -R /opt/solr

4-Configure Jetty for SolR :

a- Create the settings file of jetty in /etc/default :
sudo nano /etc/default/jetty

and paste following in it.

NO_START=0 # Start on boot
JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dsolr.solr.home=/opt/solr/solr $JAVA_OPTIONS"
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/default
JETTY_HOME=/opt/jetty
JETTY_USER=solr
JETTY_LOGS=/opt/solr/logs

Save it.

b- Copy script jetty.sh to /etc/init.d/ to make it run as a service.
cp -a /opt/jetty/bin/jetty.sh /etc/init.d/jetty (which come with the jetty package install)

or

sudo wget -O /etc/init.d/jetty http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.jetty/jetty/trunk/jetty-distribution/src/main/resources/bin/jetty.sh
sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/jetty
sudo update-rc.d jetty defaults

c- Create log for jetty under SolR

open the file /opt/solr/etc/jetty-logging.xml (nano /opt/solr/etc/jetty-logging.xml) and paste this into it:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
  <!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Mort Bay Consulting//DTD Configure//EN" "http://jetty.mortbay.org/configure.dtd">
  <!-- =============================================================== -->
  <!-- Configure stderr and stdout to a Jetty rollover log file -->
  <!-- this configuration file should be used in combination with -->
  <!-- other configuration files.  e.g. -->
  <!--    java -jar start.jar etc/jetty-logging.xml etc/jetty.xml -->
  <!-- =============================================================== -->
  <Configure id="Server">

      <New id="ServerLog">
        <Arg>
          <New>
            <Arg><SystemProperty name="jetty.logs" default="."/>/yyyy_mm_dd.stderrout.log</Arg>
            <Arg type="boolean">false</Arg>
            <Arg type="int">90</Arg>
            <Arg><Call name="getTimeZone"><Arg>GMT</Arg></Call></Arg>
            <Get id="ServerLogName" name="datedFilename"/>
          </New>
        </Arg>
      </New>

      <Call name="info"><Arg>Redirecting stderr/stdout to <Ref id="ServerLogName"/></Arg></Call>
      <Call name="setErr"><Arg><Ref id="ServerLog"/></Arg></Call>
      <Call name="setOut"><Arg><Ref id="ServerLog"/></Arg></Call></Configure>

Then, grant it permissions again under solr user :

sudo chown solr:solr -R /opt/solr

Now start Jetty as a service.
service jetty start

Once it prompts “Starting Jetty: OK”, you can visit http://localhost:8080/ to see the welcome page of Jetty 9.

Solr is now one directory closer to Jetty than the default configuration shipped with Solr

# sudo nano solr/solr/collection1/conf/solrconfig.xml

<!-- modify the path as following as we are a directory closer now -->
...
<lib dir="../../contrib/extraction/lib" regex=".*\.jar" />
<lib dir="../../dist/" regex="solr-cell-\d.*\.jar" />

<lib dir="../../contrib/clustering/lib/" regex=".*\.jar" />
<lib dir="../../dist/" regex="solr-clustering-\d.*\.jar" />

<lib dir="../../contrib/langid/lib/" regex=".*\.jar" />
<lib dir="../../dist/" regex="solr-langid-\d.*\.jar" />

<lib dir="../../contrib/velocity/lib" regex=".*\.jar" />
<lib dir="../../dist/" regex="solr-velocity-\d.*\.jar" />
...

<!--  <lib dir="/non/existent/dir/yields/warning" /> -->
