Pardon me, but my experience with Tomcat is only a few hours old. From the Manager interface (manager/html) to be exact, I found out that the solr instance was not running, Hence clicked 'start'. The logs showed me the aforementioned exception. I guess using config/context is optional? since reading from the archives and your post, it seems that a config/context occurence and putting solr.war in webapps are mutually exclusive. If it helps, I have the following configuration option set in tomcat5.cont JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcatalina.ext.dirs=$CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib:$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib -Dsolr.solr.home=/home/sudharsh/Projects/solr/solr" Regards Sudharshan S Blog : http://www.sudharsh.wordpress.com IRC : Sup3rkiddo @ Freenode, Gimpnet
