Ubuntu 12.04 – Install Solr 4 with Jetty 9
8This tutorial requires that Jetty is installed as described at http://pietervogelaar.nl/ubuntu-12-04-install-jetty-9.
In this tutorial we use an example project named “airport” and a core named “flight”.
cd /opt wget http://apache.hippo.nl/lucene/solr/4.0.0/apache-solr-4.0.0.tgz tar -xvf apache-solr-4.0.0.tgz cp apache-solr-4.0.0/dist/apache-solr-4.0.0.war /opt/jetty/webapps/solr.war cp -R apache-solr-4.0.0/example/solr /opt
Optionally you can copy the “dist” and “contrib” folder as while if you want to use the data import handler for example:
cp -r /opt/apache-solr-4.0.0/dist /opt/solr cp -r /opt/apache-solr-4.0.0/contrib /opt/solr
Add to the bottom of /etc/default/jetty this line:
JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dsolr.solr.home=/opt/solr $JAVA_OPTIONS"

Ubuntu 12.04 – Install Jetty 9
41This article will show you how to install Jetty 9 on Ubuntu 12.04. Perform all steps as root.
Jetty requires Java. Install Java first, I prefer openjdk instead of oracle jdk, but it should work both.
apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
Create a symlink for easier reference from jetty
mkdir /usr/java ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 /usr/java/default
Go to the opt directory
cd /opt
Download the latest Jetty distribution (9.x).
wget "http://eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/jetty/stable-9/dist/jetty-distribution-9.0.0.M3.tar.gz&r=1" mv download.php\?file\=%2Fjetty%2Fstable-9%2Fdist%2Fjetty-distribution-9.0.0.M3.tar.gz\&r\=1 jetty-distribution-9.0.0.M3.tar.gz
Unpack the archive
tar -xvf jetty-distribution-9.0.0.M3.tar.gz mv jetty-distribution-9.0.0.M3 jetty
Create jetty user and make it More >
Ubuntu 12.04 + Nginx 1.2.6 + PHP-FPM server block / vhost example
0On the internet there is not a clean and good example that is basic and follows the best practices. Below I created a working server block / vhost or virtual host example that works on Ubuntu 12.04 and Nginx 1.2.6..
Read the page Nginx basic configuration carefully to understand how location directives work, it really explains it well! Especially this part is important:
Directives are processed in the following manner:
- Exact string matches are processed first. If a match is found, nginx stops searching and fulfills the request.
- Remaining literal string directives are processed next. If
