The sunspot_solr version that I am using is 1.3.3.
I am using sunspot_solr gem to start and stop a local instance of Solr. I use the following command to start it:
rake sunspot:solr:start
and the following command to stop it:
rake sunspot:solr:stop
However, stop is not working. I noticed that the pid written in the pids folder is not the correct one.
When I start, I can see the following as output on the ps -ef | grep 'java' command:
1000 4758 4752 0 20:32 ? 00:00:00 sh -c java -Djetty.port\=8982 -Dsolr.data.dir\=/home/panayotis/my_documents/ezMTA/solr/data/development -Dsolr.solr.home\=/home/panayotis/my_documents/ezMTA/solr -Djava.util.logging.config.file\=/tmp/logging.properties20120902-4758-13patuu -jar start.jar
1000 4761 4758 7 20:32 ? 00:00:01 java -Djetty.port=8982 -Dsolr.data.dir=/home/panayotis/my_documents/ezMTA/solr/data/development -Dsolr.solr.home=/home/panayotis/my_documents/ezMTA/solr -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/tmp/logging.properties20120902-4758-13patuu -jar start.jar
This means that the real server process is the one with pid "4761". Process "4758" is only there to start the server in a shell.
When I cat the pid file I see:
cat solr/pids/development/sunspot-solr-development.pid
4758
Which means that rake sunspot:solr:stop is killing "4758" and leaves "4761" up and running.
I have downgraded to 'sunspot_solr', '1.3.1' and now it works ok.
