Recruiter is pretty heavily depended on SOLR. One thing that I found was that I was constantly getting tied up in knots checking to make sure that SOLR was running / restarting / stopping etc. I found a great piece at this link Running SOLR as a Service that is easy to implement and works a treat for anyone else who would like to make SOLR a bit more reliable / easy to use.

Using the method above you can setup SOLR to start as a service when the server starts and use commands like "SOLR Restart" "SOLR Stop" etc. Well worth 5 minutes of your time.

Apologies if this is the incorrect forum for this / or indeed if you are already miles ahead of me - its just that I have been using SOLR for a while and I only found / implemented this recently (I thought other users might find it useful too).

Thanks for the post. This can be useful for people that use Solr on their local machine. I usually just start it with java -jar start.jar in the example folder.

Marking this issue as fixed, as there is nothing specific we can do in the Recruiter (Solr is already optional). Still people can search the Recruiter issue queue and can find this issue for documentation.
