Thanks Geoff, I installed a clean version of tomcat 5.5.23 and carried out the exact same steps as before ... and it worked !! It also works configuring solr home with JNDI (which also failed under my TC 5.5.17).
Its possible I guess that some earlier changes/additions to my 5.5.17 conflicted with solr configuration. But I'm going to use Tc 5.5.23 from here on, Many thanks for your help, Karen On Tue, 2007-04-03 at 21:00 -0700, Jeff Rodenburg wrote: > Whenever I've encountered this, the cause has nearly always been starting > tomcat with the proper current working directory. > I went through the example install a few weeks ago, line by line, from the > wiki page for Tomcat and it ran fine.
