Thanks for the help. I commented out that line in solrconfig.xml like
you said. my web.xml file has this entry in it:
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>solr/home</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>/usr/share/tomcat5/solr</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
And here is my file structure for solr home:
/usr/share/tomcat5/solr/
/usr/share/tomcat5/solr/bin
/usr/share/tomcat5/solr/bin/* (assuming everything under bin is correct)
/usr/share/tomcat5/solr/data (created and chown'ed this to tomcat:tomcat)
/usr/share/tomcat5/solr/logs
/usr/share/tomcat5/solr/conf
/usr/share/tomcat5/solr/conf/* (assuming everything under conf is correct)

SEVERE: Could not start SOLR. Check solr/home property
I don't understand... it says solr home set to
'/usr/share/tomcat5/solr/' but the error says that there is something
wrong with the solr/home directory. Is my file structure incorrect and
its been masked by this error?
