[TYPO3-Solr] Solr und Tika

[johannes weber|medienlounge]

Hi Ingo,
that was the statement i was looking for :)

so, only one further question:

with that command:
java -jar tika.jar Feb03.pdf
i get files indexed.

i tried your tika extension with:

- local jar
Tika Path
- /var/www/solr/fileadmin/tika.jar
Host
http://localhost
Port
8080
Path
/solr/

but get config errors in the reports.

so any advice?

thanks
johannes
