     Windows:

    1. Open a command prompt. Navigate to <frevvo-home>\solr-6.6.0. Type bin\solr.cmd start to run the Insight server in the background, listening on the default port 8983.

      note

    Use the bin\solr-cmd -all command to stop all instances of the Insight Server. The -p option allows you to specify the port number for the instance you want to stop

    Warning

    If you close the Insight server (Solr) startup window, the server will stop running. Leave the window open or set up Live Forms and the Insight Server to run as Windows services.

    Column

    Linux:

    1. Ensure that the scripts are executable: chmod 755 <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/*.sh
    2. Navigate to <frevvo-home>/solr-5.4.1/bin. Run this command to make the solr startup file executable:

      chmod +x solr
    3. Navigate back to the solr-6.6.0 directory.
    4. Start the Insight server by typing:

      bin/solr start - this starts the Insight server in the background, listening on the default port 8983.
    5. Browse http;<your server:your port>/solr to verify the Insight server is running. The <server:port> default values are localhost:8983. Change <your server>  to the server name and <your port> to the port the Insight server is running on if they are different than the defaults. Do not include the angle brackets <>. You will see the Insight server (Solr) dashboard with the current status:

        

    You do not have to restart the Insight server every time you restart .

    Stopping the Insight Server from the command line

    Use the bin\solr-cmd -all command to stop all instances of the Insight Server.

    Running Live Forms and the Insight Server as Windows Services

    ...

    1. Extract the NSSM zipfile to a Program Files\nssm directory
    2. Open a command prompt. Run as an administrator

    3. Navigate to the directory under c:\Program Files\nssm\ that contains the nssm.exe file for Windows64 or Windows32

      Code Block
      For example, the path in Windows 7 would be C:\Program Files\nssm\nssm-2.24\win64

    4. Type: nssm install <service name> - Replace <service name> with the name you want to use for the Insight Server service.

      Code Block
      Ex: nssm install insightserver

    5. Browse to the location of the solr.cmd script by clicking on the three dots to the right of the Application Path field.



    6. Click on the solr.cmd file, then click Open.  The Application Path field will populate.

    7. Notice the Startup directory field also populates. REMOVE bin from the Startup directory field. The Startup directory should be: c:\<frevvo-home>\solr-5.4.1\

    8. Enter these Arguments:

      start -f -p 8983

      • the -f option starts the Insight Server in the foreground so NSSM can kill it when it needs to be stopped or started
      • the -p option specifies the port that the Insight Server is running on. The default is 8983. Change 8983 to the port number for your installation if necessary.



    9. Optionally, click the Details tab to specify a Display Name and Description - Ex: Insight Server, Script to Stop/Start Solr5. Notice the Startup type is set to Automatic.

    10. Click the Install service button. A success message displays:



    11. Start the Insight Server service from the Computer Management Services pane.



    12. Browse http://<your server:port>/solr to verify the Insight server is running. The <server:port> default values are localhost:8983. Change <your server>  to the server name and <your port> to the port the Insight server is running on if they are different than the defaults. Do not include the angle brackets <>. You will see the Insight server dashboard with the current status:
