Hello
I have been trying without success to install Solr on a RHES 5.1 server
using Java 1.5.0.16 from sun, Tomcat 5.5.23 from the Red Hat repositories.
I tested both the solr version that comes packaged with the eZFind
extension for eZPublish and the latest nightly.
The error that comes up in both cases is:
...
XPathFactory#newInstance() failed to create an XPathFactory for the
default object model: http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom with the
XPathFactoryConfigurationException:
javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryConfiguration
There is also an error when trying to access the application info page
from the Tomcat admin application.
I read on a previous message in the mailing list that a possibly similar
error was solved by repackageing xalan.jar into the solr war file. What
version of xalan should be used for that? I have xalan installed in
/usr/share/java, but it is possibly misnomed or not picked up by classpath.
Any hints?
Thanks
Gaetano
