>>-Dsolr.solr.home='/some/path'
CORRECT: -Dsolr.data.dir=.............. It should be in java startup parameters; for instance, JAVA_OPTS="-server -Zms32768M -Xmx32768M -Dsolr.data.dir=/some/path" inside catalina.sh as a first statement... According to the logs you posted probably mistake in solr.xml which is multicore definition; you should post here it's content. Java 1.4/5/6 supports "nested exceptions". The root cause of your problem: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.solr.core.Config This exception causes another one: javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryConfigurationException: No XPathFctory implementation found for the object model: http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom at javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory.newInstance(Unknown Source) at org.apache.solr.core.Config.<clinit>(Config.java:41) etc. etc. etc. NoClassDefFoundError means: classloader didn't have any problem with finding class def, but it couldn't "define" it due for instance dependency on another library and/or dependency on configuration file such as solr.xml etc. XPath should be called on DOM (after Config is properly initialized) Difficult to explain what is wrong with your mess of files in config (you are obviously using double-core) - you should do following: 1. Install Tomcat 2. Copy SOLR war file to webapps folder 3. Start Tomcat and verify logs; ensure that you have some clear messages in it (SOLR should use default home? Verify!) 4. Configure SOLR-home with sample solrconfig.xml and schema.xml, restart, verify ... ... ... Don't go to multicore until you play enough with simplest SOLR installation -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Aberg [mailto:aaronab...@gmail.com] Sent: August-19-09 12:28 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Cannot get solr 1.3.0 to run properly with plesk 9.2.1 on CentOS Tomcat is running fine. It's solr that is having the issue. I keep seeing people talk about this: -Dsolr.solr.home='/some/path' Should I be putting that somewhere? Or is that already taken care of when I edited the web.xml file in my solr.war file?
