We are going to use solr as our search server but as you know solr is based on java and apache server and our database is MSSQL and our webserver is IIS. Could you possible suggest me the best way to incorporate java apache asp.net and IIS?
Best
You cannot deploy Solr inside IIS because it requires a servlet container. Instead you can deploy solr in any one of the below servelt containers
Glassfish
JBoss
Jetty (default, included into solr package)
Resin
Tomcat
Weblogic
WebSphere
You can find the in-depth details about each deployment here SolrInstall
Then you can communicate with solr from .net using either one of these drivers(clients)
solrnet
SolrSharp
You dont need to worry about IIS at all.

It's an installer. And Bitnami soooo rocks for doing this! Just tried a bunch of different things...
Using Web Platform Installer to install Zoo, which does Solr through IIS. It's bugged out.
Jetty doesn't install as a service
Tried running Tomcat 8 with their IIS connector (acts as a filter you can set an app to). Configuration was insane. Missing files from the connector.
Found that as my last search, and it's awesome!
This is how you should set up your application.
Host Solr in Tomcat.
Use DataImportHandler to feed data from MSSQL to Solr.
From your ASP application talk to the Solr via HTTP. (Write some helper classes for this)
Parse the JSON response using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq library.
The best practice is that you get the document IDs from Solr and fetch the other information from MSSQL.
I have configured this set up in a large e-commerce site and supported site search, search suggestions, search refinements (using facets), and lot of other complex lookups. It's working great and super fast.
Take a look at this one. They deploy java servlets under iis.

MAKING THINGS SIMPLE EDITS
I am developing an app, have a nodejs API that read data through MSSQL server, now that API is Running on Localhost:3131/ It means it will run locally only.
I do have a Windows Server that stays online always, I can use pm2 on that server with the API files to make things Live, But if i run it how can i make my SERVER IP Public so I can access it through everywhere.
HOW DO I MAKE MY SERVER IP ONLINE BUT SECURE!
There are many ways to achieve what you desire. If you were to do it on your own network/pc then one traditional method called 'port forwarding' can be used for projects under development, but this still means that your IP will be exposed to the web.
Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated servers are used more commonly used these days to host powerful applications. You would need to run a web server first where your web files can be hosted and then you can link your node.js server and sql database.
There are several hosting providers out there which are built for nodejs applications. You can go for 'unmanaged' and 'managed' hosting providers.
Managed providers provide a simplified "Node Appliance" solution. Node and NPM will already be set up for you, and deploys are typically done via git push or similar method. You will have less control of your server, but everything will be set up for you.
There are some managed hosting providers which nodejs recommend themselves. You can view them here:
https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/wiki/Node-Hosting
Some popular ones include:
Heroku
Amazon Web Services
AppFog
Microsoft Azure
RedHat OpenShift
In your case, you are using SQL and Node, so Heroku actually offers free nodejs hosting and provides a free addon for MySQL databases too. Only downside is that the duration (hours) for which you can run apps are limited.
It might be worth doing this on a Virtual Private Server for lower costs. Alternatively, have a look at NodeChef who specialise in Node.js and MySQL.
Hopefully, this gives you enough information to understand what steps to take next.
is it possible to run Solr 6.4.1 on tomcat?
I read that Solr does not support tomcat anymore, is that true, if yes is there any other option without tomcat?
Yes, any version of Solr from 5 and onwards does not support Tomcat as an alternative officially.
The reasoning for this has been documented on the wiki:
Solr is intended to be a server not a Java web application, similar to mysql or the Apache web server. When Solr was first created, designing it as a web application was a convenient choice, to avoid writing a lot of tricky code to build a network layer. These days, this design decision has become a limiting factor.
When you download Solr and install it onto your machine, it should be Solr that gets started. It should not be necessary to install Solr into a third-party application (servlet container) before it will work.
At this time, Solr is still a webapp, but this is an internal implementation detail, not an immutable property. The intention is to make Solr into a completely standalone application. Startup scripts that start the included container are the first step towards that goal. Jetty might still be the technology used once Solr is a standalone application, but if that happens, it will be internally embedded.
At the moment you can still attempt to run Solr in a different container, as the current version bundles jetty and loads Solr inside jetty, but you can run into unexplainable issues where you'll always suspect the container to be the issue .. and if you have a problem, reporting bugs while running under Tomcat won't do any good.
From one of the comments on the old tomcat page on the community wiki:
If you want to go against recommendations and run 5.3 or later in Tomcat, you can likely still do so, but you will need to inform tomcat about an exploded web application (found in server/solr-webapp) instead of the .war file.
The server/solr_webapp/webapp folder is an exploded web application. Tomcat documentation should be able to tell you how to add such an application.
.. but if you're deploying Solr now, you really shouldn't. Use the bundled version of jetty (which might change to a stand alone version later) and the solr command / script.
They have stopped the support for the same.
Other option could be, you can check out the code and see if you can build the solr. I had tried it for earlier version (3.3).
I am not sure of the current version. But that could be the option for you.
I have posted instructions on how to get solr 6.2 running on Tomcat here. However, these instructions no longer work on Solr 6.3 or 6.4.
I have chosen Apache Lucene with Solr to learn about advanced search indexing for my web applications but there seems to be a gap in configuration between versions Solr 4 and Solr 5.
Most online material and books get you to setup Apache Tomcat to run the Solr service for version 4. Whereas version 5 tells you to use it using its built-in service.
My web applications are built on the LAMP stack and I would like in the future to use Solr in production and I am wondering what version/configuration is best practice?
The latest stable version of Solr is currently 5.4.0. So, that is the version that you should be using unless there is some other constraint that requires you to use an older version.
By default Solr runs in Jetty, but you can also run in in various other servlet containers. Here is documentation for running it inside Tomcat: https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat
As far as having a LAMP stack, that shouldn't really have much to do with Solr. You should have a webapp that is accessing Solr and is sitting behind an web server (in your case Apache httpd).

I am trying to create an ACL (Access Control List) to block or allow mallicious webtraffic in the web application.
Is there a way to dynamically update the ACL (of a router, firewall, IIS, Apache webserver or Windows server) through a web application programming language like ASP.NET, PHP or any web application programming language at all?
I want to be able to dynamically make a deciscion to block ip address via the web application.
If you use older versions of IIS, you can give this a shot.
If you are on IIS 7, you should try to make use of the Dynamic IP Restrictions (DIPR) module for IIS 7.0. It provides protection against DoS and brute force attacks. DIPR automatically tracks the IPs and you don't have to do that yourself. Check this out.
If you still want to take matters into your own hand, you can look at using the IP restrictions feature settings. This basically changes the section system.webServer/security/ipSecurity in the ApplicationHost.config file, which you can programmatically do. Take a look at this. I have not tried this. So, cannot tell you this will work for sure but it is worth giving a shot at. You can always test and see if it works.

are you aware of the best companies which provide apache solr AS A SERVICE? where i can simply upload (or edit via some web control panel) my index and config files for SOLR and simply start using it
i do not want to be breaking my head with any sort of server administration on tomcat
just update my index and config files... tell solr where to look for data to index (via data import handlers) and thats it just start using it
any sort of load balancing / mirrors would be like icing on the cake
price does not matter as its for mission critical apps
please do not suggest me to boot up my own servers on amazon or rackspace or xyz and then deploy solr on them and manage all the administration - because thats what i want to avoid in the first place completely
thanks in advance
I wanted to update this post from 2011 now that it's 2017! Today for folks looking for pure self service and simple Solr search we continue to recommend www.websolr.com. If you are looking for a managed complete Solr instances + some nice search analytics capability, then we've used SearchStax very successfully.
there is also this one:
http://www.opensolr.com/
Opensolr proposes 3 types of Solr instances :
CMS instances (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, eZ Publish, Typo3)
API instance (RESTful Web service) with fully customizable configuration files
Web sites Crawler instances
There is a free account (i think it can be used actually only for test the platform), and the price for the other kind of account is cheap (4$/8$ a month for medium accounts)
(i didn't try it yet, but it seems promising)
If you use Drupal, there is also Midwestern Mac's Hosted Apache Solr service, which works with Drupal 6 and 7, and all the different Solr integration modules. (Disclaimer: I'm the owner of Midwestern Mac—let me know what you'd like to see and I'll try to make it happen!).
The company IndexDepot (www.indexdepot.com) offers a hosted Solr service. It's easy to use, because you log into an web interface to edit your configuration files. Special configurations fitting your requirements are negotiable, e. g. dedicated master/slave Solr servers.
You can try contacting Lucidworks with that question.
I heard they were working with Boomi on PaaS/Saas for their Lucidworks 1.4.
Although Boomi don't explicitly say that they support Solr, this webinar may suggest they were working with Lucidworks to include their Solr-based search engine in their portfolio.
Even if Lucidworks people don't provide SaaS, they're surely the right address to ask who does.
Good luck in your search and please get back to us with the information you manage to find...
EDIT 04/2012:
If I had to make that choice today, I'd seriously consider CloudBees (which has WebSolr plugin). It's a complete ALM & CI cloud framework for JVM-based languages, with loads of partner plugins (Jenkins, NewRelic, Sonar, MongoHQ, Cloudant, ...), many of them with free base options.
The most significant difference, when comparing with other SaaS/PaaS services, is that you can set up development environment and even deploy your app (on one node, of course) without even leaving your credit card details.
Just to expand horizons.
please do not suggest me to boot up my own servers on amazon or rackspace or xyz and then deploy solr
You can go with ready to use:
http://aws.amazon.com/cloudsearch.
Cloudsearch provides simple API.
And more and more hosted Elastic Search solutions appears recently. I think it's because of cloud ES nature (easy to maintain search cloud).
http://indexisto.com
http://qbox.io
But of course this is the matter of how sticky are you with SOLR.
These guys also so hosted Solr.
https://www.hosted-solr.com/?locale=en
They also have a custom extension that integrates Solr into TYPO3 CMS.
http://www.typo3-solr.com/en/home/
Take a look at our Fully Managed Solr Cloud Hosting, where we enable customers like you to not worry about managing and maintaining Solr infrastructure, but instead focus on building your application.
We offer shared clusters that caters to price conscious customers and dedicated nodes and dedicated clusters with white glove service for companies who want to completely offload search infrastructure and management.
We are a technology partner with AWS and depending upon the critical needs, can customize a hosted solr solution per our customers needs.

You can try the below solr service provider, looks cheaper as well
