This thread in general is really confusing to me ... if you are following along withthe tutorial then tomcat should never enter the equation ... "java -jar start.jar" will use a copy of Jetty that is included in the Solr release to spin up a self contained webserver totally indepent of any application server you may already have installed. (that's the whole reason for the start.jar, you don't need to worry about wether you have a servlet container installed correctly)
When you run "java -jar start.jar" do you get logging output in your console? is there anything in that logging output that looks like a stack trace? what gets added to the end of that loggign output when you then hit the url http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/ in your browser? : 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!! -Hoss
