Apache solr and drupal gotcha!

 
I setup a 2nd solr instance for spotmouth.com for my drupal instance.  Anytime I tried to run cron.php to get drupal to index my content, I got an error:
Cron run exceeded the time limit and was aborted.
No content was ever indexed.
The problem was that I had a Drupal page that contained php content (do redirect to the spotmouth.com application). Once I changed it to use a different input filter than PHP, the cron job functioned perfectly.
I am going to create a new Content Type in drupal, going to call it "No Search Page" and put the php code in this page.  Of course, I will configure the solr module to not index this content type.
