You need to either add that to catalina.sh or create a setenv.sh in the CATALINA_HOME/bin directory. Then you can restart tomcat.
So, setenv.sh would contain the following: export JAVA_HOME="/path/to/jre" export JAVA_OPTS="="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsolr.solr.home=/path/to/my/schema.xml" If you were setting the export in your own environment and then issuing the restart, tomcat was not picking up your local environment because it's running as root. You don't want to change root's environment. You could also, create a context.xml in you CATALINA_HOME/conf/CATALINA/localhost. You should be able to find those instruction on/through the Solr FAQ. Hope this helps. ________________________________________ From: Bernhard Reiter [ock...@raz.or.at] Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010 4:49 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Testing/packaging question Hi, I'm now trying to export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsolr.solr.home=/path/to/my/schema.xml" and restarting tomcat (v6 package from ubuntu maverick) via sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart but solr still doesn't seem to find that schema.xml, as it complains about unknown fields when running the tests that require that schema.xml Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong -- and what I should be doing?
