I believe I am having the same problem described here: http://www.nabble.com/Severe-errors-in-solr-configuration-td21829562.html When I attempt to access solr/admin on the web server, I am greeted with the following exception: HTTP Status 500 - Severe errors in solr configuration. Check your log files for more detailed information on what may be wrong. If you want solr to continue after configuration errors, change: <abortOnConfigurationError>false</abortOnConfigurationError> in null ------------------------------------------------------------- java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission /var/lib/tomcat6/solr/solr.xml read) at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:342) at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:553) at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(SecurityManager.java:549) at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkRead(SecurityManager.java:888) at java.io.File.exists(File.java:748) at [...snip...] There is no solr.xml in /var/lib/tomcat6/solr/ (which is the example solr home directory provided). However, I did set the solr home with JDNI, under /var/lib/tomcat6/conf/Catalina/localhost/solr.xml, which reads: <Context docBase="/var/lib/tomcat6/solr.war" debug="0" crossContext="true" > <Environment name="solr/home" type="java.lang.String" value="/var/lib/tomcat6/solr" override="true" /> </Context> I am kind of at my wits end (and to make matters worse, I am new to Tomcat as well as solr). Can anybody supply any hints to get this baby up and running? If I have omitted any vital information, please just let me know. Best regards, Dave.
