Upload a Configuration ZIP

Upload a ZIP

A ZIP archive puts a whole set of configuration files on your Opensolr Index in one go, for example a configuration exported from another Solr server. The index reloads by itself at the end.

01 · Steps

1. Open the control panel of the index and click Configuration.
2. Under Upload Config Zip, click Choose File and pick your .zip.
3. Click Upload File.
4. A progress page lists every file as it is saved, then reloads the index and ends with “ALL DONE!” and a GO BACK link. If the index cannot load the new files, the page shows the error instead.

02 · What goes in the ZIP

• Your configuration files: schema.xml, solrconfig.xml, word lists and the like. Files in folders inside the ZIP are saved under their own name.
• Files without an extension, .properties files and names that start with a dot or an underscore are skipped.
• The i button next to Upload Config Zip lists the size limits.

03 · On a cluster

Upload the ZIP on the master: the same files are written to every replica and replication is set up again. It takes longer; the progress page shows each replica.

One file at a time: Edit a file. From your own code: API: Upload Solr configuration via ZIP archive.
