: Thanks for getting back to me. The folder /var/lib/tomcat5/solr/home : exists as does /var/lib/tomcat5/solr/home/conf/solrconfig.xml. It's : basically a copy of the files from examples folder at this point. : : I put war files in /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps, so I have the : apache-solr-1.2.0.war file outside of the webapps folder. : : Are there any special permissions these files need? I have them owned by : the tomcat user.
that should be fine ... is /var/lib/tomcat5/solr/home/ writable by the tomcat user so it can make the ./data and ./data/index directories? are you sure there aren't any other errors in the logs above the one you mentioned already? -Hoss
