Just wondering if there is any documentation of the correct usage for the eZ Find updatesearchindex script, especially:
I'm trying to feed a copy of a live db into Solr from a development environment.
Any help most appreciated.

Hmm, first, why don't you feed the live solr index with content from the live database ?

Because we're trialling a very complicated customised schema in Solr, which is not ready for prime-time.

There is no additional documentation apart from the built in help
php extension/ezfind/bin/php/updatesearchindexsolr.php -help
The DB initialisationis done after the siteaccess, so in principle using the additional parameters should override it (not tested myself though)
About the "driver": you should use the same as the ini settings (the aliases), so mysql, ezmysql for example are synonyms and usable as long as the corresponding ini settings are set (look at the default site.ini shipped)

@Geoff: what I would do is create a fake admin siteaccess for the remote instance, and run updatesearchindexsolr.php with the --siteaccess parameter. But be aware that if the binary files are not readable from the filesystem, they will not be indexed (if you use this feature).
Of course it would be better to consolidate the DB parameters, even though they will most likely work.

Found one reason - code completely wrong in execute():
+++ updatesearchindexsolr.php (working copy) @@ -449,7 +449,7 @@ { if ( !empty( $this->Options[$param] ) ) { - $optionString .= ' --' . $param . '=' . escapeshellarg( $this->Options['db-host'] ); + $paramString .= ' --' . $param . '=' . escapeshellarg( $this->Options[$param] ); } }
However, adding in the options causes the process to hang.

The process was just taking its time (it had a lot to digest). Will submit this patch at http://issues.ez.no
