I'll take the Tomcat question first: --- snip ---
Also, the Tomcat page for Context says: ----- You may define as many *Context* elements as you wish. Each such Context MUST have a unique context path. In addition, a Context must be present with a context path equal to a zero-length string. This Context becomes the /default/ web application for this virtual host, and is used to process all requests that do not match any other Context's context path. ------ Which also isn't clear to me. "...context path equal to a zero-length string?" I guess I'm misunderstanding what "context path" is. It seems to me that this describes "localhost/solr.xml." Am I missing something here? --- end snip --- It is just saying there must be at least one blank context which is the root "/" URL for the Tomcat server. It is already defined and you can ignore this unless you start deleting other contexts defined elsewhere. So pretend you did not read that at all and you'll be dandy! The NoClassDefFoundError is an odd one. You are running JDK 1.6 (not JDK 1.5) and Tomcat 6 so base classes should be present, and the WAR contains everything else. Did you modify the solrconfig.xml file, possibly change any class names in there that are referenced? Or in your schema point to a class that does not exist? Something there might cause a failure during that part of the loading. Or you are not pointing to the right solr home. In fact, your Solr home looks wrong and is the likely culprit. It should point to your own directory that you created that contains a copy of the conf directory from the example deployment. mkdir solr-data cd solr-data mkdir conf cd conf cp -R /usr/local/apache-solr-1.2.0/example/solr/conf/* . then set the /solr/home to this new solr-data directory (which now contains the conf directory) --j --j On Wed, Mar 19, 2008 at 11:37 AM, David Arpad Geller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So it seems that I got Tomcat to recognize where solr is with this > conf/Catalina/localhost/solr.xml: > > <Context > docBase="/usr/local/apache-solr-1.2.0/dist/apache-solr-1.2.0.war" > > debug="0" > crossContext="true" > > > <Environment name="solr/home" > value="/usr/local/apache-solr-1.2.0" > > type="java.lang.String" > override="true" /> > </Context> > > But still, there's still some problem (see below).
