Thanks a lot for your reply Chris
I am running v1.1.0. If I do a search (from the admin page), it throws
the following exception:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException:
/var/www/html/solr/data/index not a directory
There are no exceptions on starting Tomcat, only one warning regarding
JMS client lib not found (related to Cocoon). I have named a file
solr.xml in my $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost directory containing
the following:
<Context docBase="/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/solr.war" debug="0"
crossContext="true">
<Environment name="solr" type="java.lang.String"
value="/var/www/html/solr" override="true" />
</Context>
I am using the example configs (unmodified).
Thanks again

just to clarify: are you using solr 1.1 or a nightly build? did you
check
the log file to ensure thatthere are no exceptions when you start
tomcat?
are you using the example solrconfig.xml and schema.xml? have you tried
doing a search first without indexing any docs to see if that executs
and
(correctly) returns 0 docs?
If i had to guess, i'd speculate that you aren't correctly using a
system
prop or JNDI to point Solr at your solr home dir, so it's not finding
the
configs; either that, or you've modified the configs and there is a
syntax error -- either way there should be an exception when the server
starts up, well before you update any docs.
