Finally I make it work on my server :) While installing the ubuntu server, I choose tomcat to install by the ubuntu itself. So after installing the server I noticed the there are two folder on the system /var/lib/tomcat6/ and /usr/share/tomcate6. The /var/lib/tomcat6/ folder has the following
conf lib logs temp webapps work and /usr/share/tomcate6 has bin logs webapps lib So I thought /var/lib/tomcat6/ is folder where I have to do all the configuration. I did so. Then I started the tomcat using /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start. Then I was getting error in the solr application Then I do the following steps to fix the issue sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop sudo cp -R /var/lib/tomcat6/conf /usr/share/tomcat6/ sudo cp -R /var/lib/tomcat6/temp /usr/share/tomcat6/ sudo cp -R /var/lib/tomcat6/logs/* /usr/share/tomcat6/logs/ cd /usr/share/tomcat6 sudo ln -s /var/cache/tomcat6 work sudo bin/shutdown.sh sudo bin/startup.sh Now it's started working. So solr.xml is in /usr/share/tomcat6/conf/Catalina/localhost/solr.xml - Anto Binish Kaspar -----Original Message----- From: Anto Binish Kaspar [mailto:antobin...@ec.is] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 5:31 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: RE: Severe errors in solr configuration One thing I dint understand, why the application is trying to read the solr.xml from /usr/local/solr/solr-1.3/solr/solr.xml ? I tried the folder permission of tomcat6:tomcat6 and root:root, both doesn't fix the issue. - Anto Binish Kaspar -----Original Message----- From: Olivier Dobberkau [mailto:olivier.dobber...@dkd.de] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 4:52 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Severe errors in solr configuration Am 05.02.2009 um 12:07 schrieb Anto Binish Kaspar: > Do I need to give some permissions to the folder? i would guess so.
