How to run SOLR on amazon ec2 instance?

Question

I am able to successfully start SOLR on windows by using following command:

solr-5.2.1/bin/solr.cmd start -p 9393 -s eposro/solr

This doesn't work on amazon linux. I get following errors.

@echo: command not found
solr-5.2.1/bin/solr.cmd: line 19: IF: command not found
solr-5.2.1/bin/solr.cmd: line 21: REM: command not found
solr-5.2.1/bin/solr.cmd: line 42: IF: command not found
solr-5.2.1/bin/solr.cmd: line 75: IF: command not found
solr-5.2.1/bin/solr.cmd: line 76: syntax error near unexpected token `('
solr-5.2.1/bin/solr.cmd: line 76: `IF NOT EXIST "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe" ('

Java_HOME has been set as follows:

echo $JAVA_HOME /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_101/

Is there a different way to run SOLR on amazon linux or am I doing anthing wrong?

Answer 1

Navigate to solr directory & make sure solr home path you are starting with is correct. enter bin/solr start -p 9393 -s esposro/solr try updating Java version if you dont have latest.

And also check the port number(9393) you using with Amazon EC2 to start solr is enabled with firewall.
