Running Solr

Let's start with running and configuring our Solr. We will see several ways of running Solr, some configurations needed for Solr to be in production mode, and more. The following topics will be covered:

• Solr startup
• Production-level Solr setup and configurations

bin\solr.cmd stop -all
