I normally wouldn't just signup to a list and post immediately but...
I hope there are some Tomcat experts here.
I'm trying to setup solr and tomcat. I get the following:
INFO: HTMLManager: start: Starting web application at '/solr'
Mar 19, 2008 12:57:26 AM org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter init
INFO: SolrDispatchFilter.init()
Mar 19, 2008 12:57:26 AM org.apache.solr.core.Config getInstanceDir
INFO: No /solr/home in JNDI
Mar 19, 2008 12:57:26 AM org.apache.solr.core.Config getInstanceDir
INFO: Solr home defaulted to 'null' (could not find system property or JNDI)
Mar 19, 2008 12:57:26 AM org.apache.solr.core.Config setInstanceDir
INFO: Solr home set to 'solr/'
Mar 19, 2008 12:57:26 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext
filterStart
SEVERE: Exception starting filter SolrRequestFilter
I get that I should be specifying my solr home somewhere and some have
suggested that it should be specified in
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost Others have mentioned specifying
<Context> in a solr.xml file placed in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf
directory. Others have said that solr.war is a special webapp that
should not be placed in the standard Tomcat webapps directory and
JAVA_OPTS should have solr.solr.home set. Huh? Where? I tried setting
it in the ENV before starting Tomcat to no avail. Sigh.
Help!
I'm running Tomcat 6.0.16 and SOLR 1.2.0
1. What the heck is a "conf/Catalina/localhost?" Is it a directory? A
file? I have neither a Catalina or a localhost directory there.
2. Tomcat does absolutely nothing unless I put solr.war in its webapps
directory. Then I can get it to fail on solr, at least.
3. I tried putting the following into my server.xml file (no effect):
<Context
docBase="/usr/local/solr/dist/apache-solr-1.2.0.war"
debug="0"
crossContext="true" >
<Environment name="solr/home"
value="/usr/local/solr"
type="java.lang.String"
override="true" />
</Context>
4. I tried putting the same into my context.xml file but then it just
overrode the context for the manager and ruined that whole thing for me.
Honestly. Any help would be *much* appreciated but shouldn't Tomcat be
the easiest way to run SOLR?
Thank you,
David
