Hi Alejandro. Your summary is good and it should be of benefit to
others. Thank you for taking the time to prepare it.

Hello, yes of course.
I followed the instructions from
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat (see below)
but instead of copy the example configuration files into the directory
c:\web\solr\ as
is explained in that page, I did it into c:\tomcat\webapps\solr and
started Tomcat with:
-Dsolr.solr.home=c:\tomcat\webapps\solr
But it didn't work.
****
Apparently the directory used in solr.solr.home variable MUST NOT
point inside the Tomcat's webapps directory, or it will be ignored.
***
The enviroment I used was:
Windows XP Professional
XAMPP 1.6.4
Tomcat 6.0.13
Sun JDK 5
Updated content of http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat:
Tomcat on Windows
Single Solr app
1) Download and install [WWW] Tomcat for Windows using the MSI
installer. Install it with the tcnative.dll file. Say you installed it
in c:\tomcat\
2) Check if Tomcat is installed correctly by going to [WWW]
http://localhost:8080/
3) Change the c:\tomcat\conf\server.xml file to add the URIEncoding
Connector element as shown above.
4) Download and unzip the Solr distribution zip file into (say) c:\temp\solrZip\
5) Make a directory called solr where you intend the application
server to function, say c:\web\solr\ (Important: It must be outside
the Tomcat's webapps directory)
6) Copy the contents of the example\solr directory
c:\temp\solrZip\example\solr\ to c:\web\solr\
7) Stop the Tomcat service
8) Copy the *solr*.war file from c:\temp\solrZip\dist\ to the Tomcat
webapps directory c:\tomcat\webapps\
9) Rename the *solr*.war file solr.war
10)Use the system tray icon to configure Tomcat to start with the
following Java option: -Dsolr.solr.home=c:\web\solr
11)Start the Tomcat service
12)Go to the solr admin page to verify that the installation is
working. It will be at [WWW] http://localhost:8080/solr/admin

Hi Alejandro. Since this was a bit of trouble for you could you post the
steps you used to get it to work (and/or any deviation from the wiki) to
summarize this thread. It has been some days that I have seen the thread
on the list and it would leave something useful other than I got it
running for other folks with a similar issue in future. Many thanks.
