Okay, sadly, i still can't get this to work.
Following the instructions at:
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrLogging#Using_the_example_logging_setup_in_containers_other_than_Jetty
I copied solr/example/lib/ext/*.jar into my tomcat's ./lib, and copied
solr/example/resources/log4j.properties there too.
The result is unchanged, when I start tomcat, it still says:
May 30, 2013 3:15:00 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error filterStart
May 30, 2013 3:15:00 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/solr] startup failed due to previous errors
This is very frustrating. I have no way to even be sure this problem
really is logging related, although it seems likely. But I feel like I'm
just randomly moving chairs around and hoping the error will go away,
and it does not.
Is there anyone that has succesfully run Solr 4.3.0 in a Tomcat 6? Can
we even confirm this is possible? Can anyone give me any other hints,
especially does anyone have any idea how to get some more logging out of
Tomcat, then the fairly useless "Error filterSTart"?
The only reason I'm using tomcat is that we always have in our current
Solr 1.4-based application, for reasons lost to time. I was hoping to
upgrade to Solr 4.3, without simultaneously switching our infrastructure
from tomcat to jetty, change one thing at a time. I suppose I might need
to abandon that and switch to jetty too, but I'd rather not.
