Use

• Add this script to a file, and make the file executable (sudo chmod +x thisscript.sh)
• Run the script (./thisscript.sh)
• Visit http://mylocalhost:8080/solr, and ensure the apachesolr page appears.
• Username for apachesolr is drupal, password is InsertPasswordHere. As indicated, you should change it.
• Solr core name is drupal, so the solr URL from Drupal's perspective should be http://localhost:8080/solr/drupal.
