I've just downloaded Solr to a Windows laptop and it runs fine using Jetty in the example, but I'm having trouble getting it to run under Tomcat. I looked at the page on the Wiki and back through the mailing archives, and tried two methods that seemed to work for other people: dropping solr/example/solr directly under the Tomcat home, and copying solr/example/solr to a separate directory and starting Tomcat from there (after putting solr.war in webapps). Neither works; the first one throws a class not found, and the second gets me part of the admin page. In the logs, I get this:
Nov 10, 2006 8:17:51 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't find resource '' in classpath or 'solr/conf/', cwd=C:\tomcat_solr ... How can I correct that error? I found a post that says that the problem is that the conf files can't be found, but I didn't find any suggestions for correcting the issue. I guess I'm going to try setting the Java system property in admin.jsp. However, it would also be useful if somebody could post somewhere an example of the changes for the JNDI settings for Tomcat. Not sure why I'm having so much trouble with it . . . thanks, Dave Halsted
