I set up a Solr project to run with Tomcat for indexing contents of a database by following a web tutorial that described how to put the project directory anywhere you want and then put a file called <projectname>.xml in the tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost directory that contains contents like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Context docBase="C:/projects/solr_apps/solr_db/solr.war" crossContext="true"> <Environment name="solr/home" type="java.lang.String" value="C:/projects/solr_apps/solr_db" override="true"/> </Context> I got this working, and now I would like to create a logging.properties file for Solr only, as described in the Apache Solr Reference Guide distributed by Lucid. It says: To change logging settings for Solr only, edit tomcat/webapps/solr/WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties. You will need to create the classes directory and the logging.properties file. You can set levels from FINEST to SEVERE for a class or an entire package. Here are a couple of examples: org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.level = FINEST org.apache.solr.level = WARNING I think this explanation assumes that the Solr project is in tomcat/webapps/solr. I tried putting a logging.properties file in various locations where I hoped Tomcat would pick it up, but none of them worked. If I have a solr_db.xml file in tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost that points to a Solr project in C:/projects/solr_apps/solr_db (that was created by copying the contents of the apache-solr-3.5.0/example/solr directory to C:/projects/solr_apps/solr_db and going from there), where is the right place to put a "Solr only" logging.properties file? Thanks, Mike
