Thanks for your instructions. Unfortunately, I need to do all that as part of my package's (python-solrpy) build procedure, so I can't change any global configuration, such as in the catalina subdirectories.
I've already sensed that restarting tomcat is also just too system-invasive and would include changing its (system-wide) configuration. Are there any other ways to use solr for running the tests from http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/solrpy/solrpy-0.9.3.tar.gz without having to change any system configuration? Maybe via a user Tomcat instance such as provided by the tomcat6-user debian package? Thanks for your help!
