Hello, yes of course. I followed the instructions from http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat (see below) but instead of copy the example configuration files into the directory c:\web\solr\ as is explained in that page, I did it into c:\tomcat\webapps\solr and started Tomcat with: -Dsolr.solr.home=c:\tomcat\webapps\solr
But it didn't work. **** Apparently the directory used in solr.solr.home variable MUST NOT point inside the Tomcat's webapps directory, or it will be ignored. *** The enviroment I used was: Windows XP Professional XAMPP 1.6.4 Tomcat 6.0.13 Sun JDK 5 Updated content of http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat: Tomcat on Windows Single Solr app 1) Download and install [WWW] Tomcat for Windows using the MSI installer. Install it with the tcnative.dll file. Say you installed it in c:\tomcat\ 2) Check if Tomcat is installed correctly by going to [WWW] http://localhost:8080/ 3) Change the c:\tomcat\conf\server.xml file to add the URIEncoding Connector element as shown above. 4) Download and unzip the Solr distribution zip file into (say) c:\temp\solrZip\ 5) Make a directory called solr where you intend the application server to function, say c:\web\solr\ (Important: It must be outside the Tomcat's webapps directory) 6) Copy the contents of the example\solr directory c:\temp\solrZip\example\solr\ to c:\web\solr\ 7) Stop the Tomcat service 8) Copy the *solr*.war file from c:\temp\solrZip\dist\ to the Tomcat webapps directory c:\tomcat\webapps\ 9) Rename the *solr*.war file solr.war 10)Use the system tray icon to configure Tomcat to start with the following Java option: -Dsolr.solr.home=c:\web\solr 11)Start the Tomcat service 12)Go to the solr admin page to verify that the installation is working. It will be at [WWW] http://localhost:8080/solr/admin On Thu, Feb 21, 2008 at 4:38 PM, David Pratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Alejandro.
