Also.. For ppl finding it difficult to install the plugin in windows even after following the tutorial add this line right after the ‘task’ block.

require “#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/../../config/solr_environment.rb”

also add the entire block of code in the end just before: “def env_array_to_constants(env)”

Cheers!

Looks like you dont have either SVN or GIT clientinstalled. I suggest getting the GIT Client.
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list

It should work now.

@sandip: Its up to you, you can write a ruby script or a bash script.

in ruby script:

system(“ruby script/server”)
system(“rake solr:start_win”)

some thing like that

@sandp: No, you can’t hook that with webrick. you need to write a script that start webrick and solr.
