v1.1.0 to v1.2.0 Upgrade Guide¶

Upgrading¶

• If you had version 1.1 of EXT:solr installed already, just update the extension using the Extension Manager.
• After updating the extension make sure to install the Access Filter Plugin for Solr, the plugin is now required to ensure proper frontend user access rights handling. Simply create a directory called "typo3" in your solr home directory and copy the Access Filter Plugin from EXT:solr/resources/solr/. For existing installation the solr home directory should be /opt/solr-tomcat/solr/.
• Update schema.xml as the index schema needed to be changed for the frontend user Access Filter Plugin and other improvements.
• Update solrconfig.xml, it makes Solr load the Access Filter Plugin.
• Restart Tomcat to make the changed configuration become active.
• Finally, go to the reports module and make sure everything is ok under the solr section.
• Existing installations need to re-index their sites due to the changes in schema.xml

New Installations¶

For new installations the install script in EXT:solr/resources/shell/ will do all the necessary steps for you.
