Hi Chris, Thanks for getting back to me. The folder /var/lib/tomcat5/solr/home exists as does /var/lib/tomcat5/solr/home/conf/solrconfig.xml. It's basically a copy of the files from examples folder at this point.
I put war files in /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps, so I have the apache-solr-1.2.0.war file outside of the webapps folder. Are there any special permissions these files need? I have them owned by the tomcat user.
