As you said yourself it's not installed as
dependent package of xwiki-enterprise.
Like the documentation indicate this is to be used only if you plan to setup a
standalone Solr index which is not what XWiki is using by default.
OK thanks. I didn't find it all that clear from the page I was reading
(platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationViaAPT), perhaps because
there's not much info on how Solr fits into the XWiki architecture. But my
understanding now is that Solr is the search engine used by XWiki and an embedded server
is included within the standard xwiki-enterprise packages, but a standalone server can be
used if the xwiki-solr-data package is used to configure it for XWiki. Is that all
correct?
The error you get have nothing to do with that but you
did not gave enough
details to know what is wrong, specifically the cause of "Error creating core
[xwiki]".
So it looks like Solr should get set up the first time XWiki is run, but because of the
issues with openjdk9 this wasn't happening, and all the errors were being caused by
the expected items then not being found. Restarting Tomcat once XWiki successfully started
the first time seems to generate no further errors.
Thanks,
