This code has been deprecated. We recommend the following replacements:

• Sunspot now directly supports the WEBSOLR_URL environment variable, obviating the need for a configuration shim.
• websolr-acts_as_solr is the current configuration shim for supporting the WEBSOLR_URL environment variable in acts_as_solr.
• RSolr is as lightweight a Ruby Solr client as you can find.

If you are using Websolr on Heroku, you should refer to http://docs.heroku.com/websolr for the most up to date instructions.

This overrides acts_as_solr or Sunspot to use the value of the environment variable WEBSOLR_URL as the Solr Search server, provided that it's defined.

After installing the gem, you can include websolr-rails in your app by either starting the webapp like:

WEBSOLR_URL=http://index.websolr.com/solr/<api-key> ./script/server

Or, you can put the following in /environment/production.rb, or an initializer, etc:

# production.rb
ENV["WEBSOLR_URL"] = "http://index.websolr.com/solr/<api-key>"

# WEBSOLR_URL must already be defined.
require "websolr-rails"

This library obeys the definition of "Semantic Versioning" at http://semver.org/. YMMV with its dependencies.
