If you followed steps to install Tomcat 6, and yet you get an error 
msg from tomcat 5.5 then your problem probably doesn't have anything to do 
with solr.

i suspect that tomcat 5.5 is already running on your system (probably all 
the time, from a .deb install) on the port you are trying to use, and your 
new (manual) install of tomcat 6 either isn't running (because it can't 
bind to the port) or is running on a different port then you think.  I bet 
if you "shutdown.sh" your tomcat 6 port, you'll still see that error 
message coming from your tomcat 5.5 instance.

in short: the issue isn't htat solr would work *better* on 5.5 then on 6; 
the issue is that you already have 5.5 running and it is either confusing 
you or causing problems when you try to use 6.

so perhaps you shouldn't bother with tomat 6, and instead figure out where 
on your box tomcat 5.5 lives, and configure it to know about solr?

I followed the steps detailed in this tutorial: 
http://justin-hayes.com/2009-04-08/installing-apache-tomcat-6-and-solr-nightly-on-ubuntu-804

When I get to the point at which I should be able to see the Solr admin page, 
my browser displays the following: 
HTTP Status 404 - /solr/admin
type Status report
message /solr/admin
description The requested resource (/solr/admin) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5

This is after having used Tomcat 6 throughout the process, which leads me to 
believe that the fact that Tomcat 5.5 is already installed is somehow resulting 
in this error. When I posed the issue of 5.5 vs. 6 on the Tomcat mailing list, 
this belief was reinforced. 

Any input you have would be greatly appreciated.

Can you elaborate on what is not working for you? We use Solr with Tomcat
5.5 and it works fine.

5.5 should work OK.

For nightlies, I just updated the "Simple Example Install"
at http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat

You might try stepping through those steps with your versions.

I am installing Solr 1.3.0, and currently have been trying to use Tomcat 5.5. 
This hasn't been working so far for me, and I have been told (unofficially) 
that my installation would go more smoothly if I were to use Tomcat 6. Does 
anyone have experiencing with Solr 1.3 and Tomcat 5.5?
