Capistrano and acts_as_solr

I’m trying to setup a capistrano 1.4 task to start/stop solr on our
production server. The basic setup is pretty straightforward:

desc “SymLink /vendors/plugins/acts_as_solr/solr to /shared/solr”
task :symlink_solr, :roles => [:app, :web] do
run “rm -rf #{release_path}/vendor/plugins/acts_as_solr/solr”
run “ln -nfs #{shared_path}/solr
#{release_path}/vendor/plugins/acts_as_solr/solr”
end

task :after_update_code, :roles => [:app, :web] do
symlink_solr
end

The symlinks get fine and everything appears to be working. If I login
to my production server and run rake solr:start (standard task included
with acts_as_solr), everything works fine.

However, if I try to run the same rake task from a capistrano task, I
get an error.

desc “Start solr”
task :start_solr,:roles => [:app, :web] do
run "cd #{current_path} && " +
“#{rake} RAILS_ENV=#{rails_env} solr:start”

sleep(10)

end

So, running cap solr_start, I get the following error:

No such file or directory - java -Dsolr.data.dir=solr/data/production
-Djetty.port=8983 -jar start.jar

I’m at a bit of a loss since starting solr directly on the server works
just fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Chris

No such file or directory - java -Dsolr.data.dir=solr/data/production
-Djetty.port=8983 -jar start.jar

It looks like the “java” runtime is not in the path used by
capistrano.

Cheers
