Setting up Drupal 6 with Apache Solr on Tomcat 6 and Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)

During my last session on Drupalcamp in Barcelona I got the impression that there was a need for an updated guide on how to easily setup your own Apache Solr instance.
If you want to see why you or your company would have the need for an improved search experience you can still see my presentation on slideshare : http://www.slideshare.net/nickvh/drupal-apachesolrRead more

Snow in Barcelona

Appearently for the first time in 20 years it has snowed here alot!
It was unbelievable. During the morning nothing was abnormal (as in 10°) but from 11AM until 15-16u it started snowing. First a bit but after a hell lot more!

I quickly spreaded the word and even got a short notice about my picture on Stubru!

You can see some shots of today below!

The time has finally arrived for my two favorite things to join together. Starting from Friday the 26th, Drupalcamp Spain will have its lift-off and looking at the schedule it looks to be a promising weekend packed with lots of goodies and lots of new knowledge!

I will also give a Apache Solr presentation myself and it will feature a basic explanation on how to set it up, why to set it up and the future of these technologies. Practical use cases will follow and some examples as well.Read more
