ApacheSolr search for Drupal on CentOS
At the recently Drupal Camp Prague 09, I was introduced to ApacheSolr as a replacement to the standard Drupal search or the Google CSE.
On most sites the basic Google CSE setup is sufficient, however for some of the more serious "work" websites my colleague Nick and I got experimenting with the Drupal's implementation of ApacheSolr module.
Here is a quick and rough writeup on how it was implemented on work and my personal (janaksingh.com website).
Drupal development with OSX, VMWare Fusion and CentOS 5.3
CentOS powers my personal websites and since it is based on RedHat Enterprise Linux (which we use at work) it makes my life easier when jumping back and forth between servers as all the filepaths are same, repositories and packages are all consistent. All in perfect harmony as far as work and personal web server are concerned.
