I followed the steps detailed in this tutorial: http://justin-hayes.com/2009-04-08/installing-apache-tomcat-6-and-solr-nightly-on-ubuntu-804
When I get to the point at which I should be able to see the Solr admin page, my browser displays the following: HTTP Status 404 - /solr/admin type Status report message /solr/admin description The requested resource (/solr/admin) is not available. Apache Tomcat/5.5 This is after having used Tomcat 6 throughout the process, which leads me to believe that the fact that Tomcat 5.5 is already installed is somehow resulting in this error. When I posed the issue of 5.5 vs. 6 on the Tomcat mailing list, this belief was reinforced. Any input you have would be greatly appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: Shalin Shekhar Mangar [mailto:shalinman...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, June 12, 2009 5:28 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Using The Tomcat Container On Sat, Jun 13, 2009 at 2:25 AM, Mukerjee, Neiloy (Neil) < neil.muker...@alcatel-lucent.com> wrote: > I am installing Solr 1.3.0, and currently have been trying to use Tomcat > 5.5.
