Hoss Man commented on SOLR-6993:
--------------------------------

FWIW: "Negative Length Value" is only supported since Bash 4.2

http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/syntax/pe#negative_length_value

(when reporting bugs with shell scripts, please, _please_ include the output of 
{{/usr/bin/env bash -version}}

> install_solr_service.sh won't install on RHEL / CentOS

> There's a bug that will prevent install_solr_service.sh from working on RHEL 
> / CentOS 6.5.  It works on Ubuntu 14.  Appears to be some obscure difference 
> in bash expression evaluation behavior.
> line 87 and 89:    SOLR_DIR=${SOLR_INSTALL_FILE:0:-4}
> blows up with this error:
> ./install_solr_service.sh: line 87: -4: substring expression < 0
> this results in the archive not being extracted and rest of the script won't 
> work.
> I tested a simple change:
>   SOLR_DIR=${SOLR_INSTALL_FILE%.tgz}
> and verified it works on both RHEL 6.5 and Ubuntu 14
> Patch is attached.  I set this to Major thinking that not being able to 
> install on CentOS is worth fixing prior to release.
