: Besides where should i put the schema and solconfig xmls ? Inside the : solr webapp dir or solr home ? And should i put them just in solr : directory or create a subdir solr/conf/
as yonik said, if you are new to Solr and having trouble getting setup ith Tomcat, start by trying to use the self contained "example" demo that runs under Jetty, and make sure you can execute all of the steps in the tutorial... http://incubator.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html ...if that works, then you can look at the "solr" dir in that example to understand what a "solr" dir looks like, and what files live where. Once you reach that point, the SolrTomcat wiki page has several examples to help you get started using Tomcat -- including an 11 line example of installing both Tomcat and Solr from scratch (since there may be some funky configuration included in the ubuntu install of tomcat) and some example context fragments to identify where the solr home should be ... BUT: please don't try anything Tomcat specific until you've tried the self contained example ... it's designed not only to make it easy to follow hte tutorial, but also because it provides a consistent setup so that other people on the list can help you anwer questions without needing to guess what exactly you've done. -Hoss
