1. Install libcurl
yum install curl-devel

2. Install libxml
yum install libxslt-devel

2.1 Make sure both mongo & mongodb php extensions are installed
pecl install mongo
pecl install mongodb
Add the following to php.ini if not already added :
extension=mongo.so
extension=mongodb.so

3. Install solr php extension
pecl install -n solr

4. Enable solr extension
Add extension=solr.so in php.ini and restart apache
sudo service httpd restart
php -m | grep solr

Make sure there are no errors, if there are then it can be related to the order in which files are loaded. In which case remove `extension=solr.so` from php.ini and create a new file in /etc/php.d, possible 41-solr.ini such that it’s loaded at the end and add `extension=solr.so` in that.

Confirm if that file is being used by php.ini by the following command
php -i | grep “.ini”

6. Download scripts from https://github.com/5missions/mongoSolrImporter
Change the .ini file according to your mongo & solr connection settings.
Execute the following command to start the import from mongo to solr
php mongoSolrImporter.php -c mongoSolrImporter.ini

NOTE – The sample .ini file lists the field names in capitals, make sure to have the field name appropriate to your mongo collection. I have all the field-names in lower case in both mongo collection & solr document.

1. Run the following commands :
screen
mongo
use admin
db.runCommand({copydb:1,fromhost:’83.10.17.18:27017′,fromdb:’fromdbname’,todb:’todbname’})
ctrl + a + d (after pressing a in order to exit the screen)

2. Now exiting the SSH session, will still keep the command running. In order to get back to the screen, use the following command
screen -r

8. Redirect to /public using .htaccess

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Find the section <directory /var/www/html> and change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All

<Directory /var/www/html>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Save and exit.

Create .htaccess in the root of your web directory with the following contents :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1

Now restart Apache to put the change into effect:
systemctl restart httpd

Step 1 of 5. Installing Nano

yum install nano

Step 2 of 5. Installing Apache

yum -y update
yum -y install epel-release
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
wget https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
rpm -Uvh ius-release*.rpm
yum -y update
yum -y install php56u php56u-opcache php56u-xml php56u-mcrypt php56u-gd php56u-devel php56u-mysql php56u-intl php56u-mbstring php56u-bcmath

After hours of research falling into traps referring examples of different versions, finally managed to figure out the correct one.

1. Create `app/config/solr.php`

<?php

return array(
    'endpoint' => array(
        'key' => array(
            'host' => '127.0.0.1',
            'port' => 8983,
            'path' => '/solr/',
            'core' => 'mycore'
        )
    )
);

2. Add the following code to HomeController

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;  use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Config;  use Solarium\Core\Client\Client;  use Solarium_Exception;  class HomeController extends Controller {      protected $client;          public function __construct()     {          $configSolr = Config::get('solr');          $this->client = new Client($configSolr);
    }
public function index()
{
// create a ping query
$client = $this->client;
$ping = $client->createPing();
// execute the ping query
$result ='';
try {
$result = $client->ping($ping);
echo 'Ping query successful';
echo '<br?>';
var_dump($result->getData());
} catch (Solarium_Exception $e) {
echo 'Ping query failed';
var_dump($e);
}
return $result;
}
}
