Move solr.war file and solrhome directory somewhere else outside the tomcat webapps. Like /home/foo. Tomcat will generate webapps/solr automatically.
This is what i use: under catalineHome/conf/Catalina/localhost/solr.xml <Context docBase="/home/foo/apache-solr-1.4.0.war" debug="0" crossContext="true" > <Environment name="solr/home" type="java.lang.String" value="/home/foo/SoorHome" override="true" /> </Context> I also delete <dataDir>...</dataDir> entry from solrconfig.xml. So that data dir is created under the solrhome directory. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat#Installing_Solr_instances_under_Tomcat > I have been using Jetty on my linux/apache webserver for > about 3 weeks now. > I decided that I should change to Tomcat after realizing I > will be indexing > a lot of URL's and Jetty is good for small production sites > as noted in the > Wiki.
