Hi Mihails, The solr home is a directory which contains the conf/ and data/ folders. The conf folder contains solrconfig.xml, schema.xml and other such configuration files. The data/ folder contains the index files.
Other than adding the war file to tomcat, you also need to designate a certain folder as solr home, so that solr knows from where to load it's configuration. By default, solr searches for a folder named "solr" under the current working directory (pwd) to use as home. There are other ways of configuring it as given in solr wiki. Hope that helpes. 2008/6/11 Mihails Agafonovs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I've already done that, but cannot access solr via web, and apache log > says something wrong with solr home directory. > ----- > Couldn't start SOLR.
