2 issues which caused me some problems when using java 10 and above. Make these changes if the solr service is not starting.
1. You need to remove UseParNewGC from the solr.cmd
2. Find –> if “%%a” GEQ “9” (
Replace with –> if %%a GEQ 9 (
Hope this helps someone else as well.

You will need to use https versus http. In your case use: https://localhost:8983/solr.

In reply to Pedro Graca. This could be because of many different things just make sure that when you start up your service using NSSM that it is pointed to the correct solr.cmd file in the solr-6.6.2\bin folder.

Thank you for your article it’s very insightful. However, I am having an issue when I try to run the Solr service I receive a message that states the following:
“Windows could not start the SOLR 662 service on Local Computer.
The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error.
If the problem persists, contact your system administrator.”
I can start the service manually but ideally I would like to do so.
Thank you,
Pedro

After importing the certificate a restart of the service is needed to make it read the configuration again. Just in case this helps somebody.

In reply to Yorria. Modified the post to reflect nssm.exe. Thank you for the feedback, it helps us all out in the community!

On step 5, the command line I had to use was actually
C:Program Filesnssmwin64> nssm.exe install solr6
(was missing the exe)

I could not import the generated keystore file, because it was in an old (non-pkcs12) format. To ensure the correct format is used, you can add \”-deststoretype pkcs12\” to the keytool command. If you already generated the jks file and it can not be imported, you can use this command to convert it: \”keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore solr-ssl.keystore.jks -destkeystore solr-ssl.keystore.jks -deststoretype pkcs12\”.

In reply to Nick. Unfortunately, I do not have any experience with XP1 install just yet. Whatever you find out though when it is installed, please do enlighten us here. Thanks!

Do you have any instructions for installing XP1 or an install script that I could use.I have limited experience with sitecore 9 and trying to modify the xp0 script into a XP1 script isn\’t working out.
