One easy way is to put the solr folder with configuration files (schema.xml,
solrconfig.xml)
in the folder where you start Tomcat from. For example, i have the following
folder structure -
--> Tomcat Home
--> solr
--> conf (contains the configuration files)
--> bin
I copied over the solr folder from the <solr_install_home>/example folder as
is.
Then start tomcat from the <Tomcat home> folder. Solr will automatically
look for
the 'solr' folder in the directory from which you started tomcat. This way
you can
avoid editing anything in the tomcat configuration.
If you want to add solr to an already existing tomcat instance, follow the
steps
around adding solr as a context to the catalina configuration for the
server.
