Perhaps the Tomcat distribution looks different because it's bundled with your OS and they moved stuff around. >I start tomcat > using "/etc/init.d/tomcat5 start". May this be a problem? It could be a problem... it depends what that start script does. Solr looks in the current working directory for the solrconf directory, so it depends where that ends up when tomcat is started. It might be easier to download a recent Tomcat 5.5 distribution and get it working with that first... then try with the bundled version of Tomcat once you understand how everything works. -Yonik http://incubator.apache.org/solr Solr, The Open Source Lucene Search Server
