 ====== Starting and Stopping Solr ======
+:!: This page applies to VuFind® versions 3.0 and newer; if you are using a very old release, see the "Old revisions" button below to find earlier versions of the documentation.
 Once VuFind® is installed, it will only respond to search requests if its Solr back-end is active (unless, of course, you are relying on a third-party discovery service instead of a local index, in which case you can disregard this page entirely).  This page explains how to turn Solr on and off and how to automate the process if you wish.

 Note:  If you previously rebooted your system without manually stopping Solr, the script may mistakenly believe that it is still running.  In this case, a [[starting_and_stopping_solr#restarting_solr_manually|manual restart]] should solve the problem.
