Kirk, I'm also having trouble with the apt-installed tomcat5.5 instance -- though I haven't really taken enough time to figure it out. The same Context fragment works fine on the Debian etch apt-installed tomcat -- so I'm fairly sure it's specific to Ubuntu.
A quick work-around would be to just download a copy of tomcat from apache and run that (export JAVA_HOME, bin/catalina.sh start) -Yousef ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kirk Beers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Friday, December 14, 2007 11:18:31 AM (GMT-0800) America/Los_Angeles Subject: Solr Tutorial Issue Hi, I am running Ubuntu, Java1.6 jdk and tomcat5.5. I can not seem to get the tutorial to run. The instructions seem simple and clear. start.jar ran fine but when I used http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/ nothing appeared. I also individually copied the apache-solr-nightly/dist/apache-solr-nightly.war and the apache-solr-nightly/example/webapps/solr.war to my tomcat webapps and still nothing!! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated ASAP Thanks Kirk
