My solr index works fine with the embedded Jetty. I'm trying to move the index to Tomcat. Following the wiki page http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat, I put this line in setenv.bat:
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" "-Dsolr.solr.home=D:\opt\solr\example" Tomcat seems to be picking it up. If I point it to a non-existent directory or an empty directory, Tomcat complains about it in console log. However, the /solr/admin/stats.jsp page still shows that solr is using a default directory, which is unsurprisingly located in tomcat bin dir: readerDir : org.apache.lucene.store.simplefsdirect...@d:\Java\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\bin\solr\data\index Any idea what else I need to do to use an external solr index directory in Tomcat? Thanks, Jack
