solr Apache Solr Solr quick start (start and stop solar)

Example

You can start Solr by running bin/solr from the Solr directory and this will start Solr in the background, listening on port 8983.

$ bin/solr start

To change the port Solr listens on, you can use the -p parameter when starting, such as:

$ bin/solr start -p 8984

Since Solr is a server, it is more common to run it in the background, especially on Unix/Linux. However, to start Solr in the foreground, simply do:

$ bin/solr start -f

When running Solr in the foreground (using -f), then you can stop it using Ctrl-c. However, when running in the background, you should use the stop command, such as:

$ bin/solr stop -p 8983

The stop command requires you to specify the port Solr is listening on or you can use the -all parameter to stop all running Solr instances.

If you're not sure if Solr is running locally, you can use the status command:

$ bin/solr status
