Ok, let's start again from scratch with a clean Tomcat installation. 1. Download example-solr-home.jar from the wiki and extract it to a local folder for example to /home/<your_username>/ 2. You will now see a folder called example-solr-home where you extracted the jar file in the above step 3. Copy /home/<your_username>/example-solr-home/solr.war to /tomcat5.5/webapps/solr.war 4. export JAVA_OPTS="-Dsolr.solr.home=/home/<your_username>/example-solr-home/solr" 5. start tomcat from the same shell after exporting the above variable
Verify that tomcat starts without showing any exceptions in the logs. Now you will be able to run the examples given in the DataImportHandler wiki. 2008/6/11 Mihails Agafonovs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I'm stuck... > > I now have /tomcat5.5/webapps/solr (exploded solr.war), > /tomcat5.5/webapps/solr/solr-example/. > I've ran > > export > > JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS-Dsolr.solr.home=/usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/solr/example/solr/ > to make /example/solr/ as a home directory. > > What am I doing wrong? > > Quoting Shalin Shekhar Mangar : Hi Mihails, > The solr home is a directory which contains the conf/ and data/ > folders.
