I suppose you've solved this problem already. I just ran into it. And solving
it took the following steps:
-putting in the directory ....\Tomcat 5.5\conf\Catalina\localhost a proper
solr.xml file, much like the one you have, containing only the text <br />
<Context docBase= "..../solr.war" .... > <Environment name="solr/home"
type="java.lang.String" value="..." /></Context>
- modifying the solrconfig.xml , and this was another necessary step ,
changing the default
<dataDir>${solr.data.dir:./solr/data}</dataDir>
to point to your actual solr-home e.g.:
<dataDir>${solr.data.dir:/usr/local/projects/my_app/current/solr-home/data}</dataDir>
To clarify my configuration: I work with Tomcat 5.5.20 under Windows-XP. My
current dataDir is actually:
<dataDir>${solr.data.dir:K:/solr/cur_solr/solr/data}</dataDir>
may be this could help ! This information should be added in the SolrTomcat
(http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat) - it would have saved me hours ....
