Hi Lars, your configuration looks almost correct. The only thing wrong I see is that you're saying that you defined the solr context in server.xml, not in a context fragment (/etc/tomcat7/conf/Catalina/localhost/solr.xml).
In server.xml, the definition should include a docBase attribute (e.g. docBase="/dspace/webapps/solr"). In a context fragment, the .xml file name is used instead, so this attribute is left out. I'm not sure though that this error would cause the 403. I think it would cause the context not to load. As another quick fix, try specifying the context without any parameters, i.e.: <Context path="/solr" reloadable="true" /> in solr.xml or <Context path="/solr" docBase="/dspace/webapps/solr" /> in server.xml This will put the localhost restriction back in place, which means you should be able to access Solr from localhost, but not from 129.27.218.*. Also double-check whether you are really running Tomcat 7. In Tomcat 6 and older the RemoteAddrValve syntax was slightly different, see: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/valve.html#Remote_Address_Filter Regards, ~~helix84 Compulsory reading: DSpace Mailing List Etiquette https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
