: Can't find resource 'solrconfig.xml' in classpath or : '/home/datadmin/public_html/apache-solr/example/solr/./conf/', : cwd=/usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-5.5.33/bin
a) several of the steps you mention rever to /home/datadmin/public_html/apache-solr/example and /home/datadmin/public_html/apache-solr/example/solr but at no point have you told us wether you actually created either of those directories, or what you put in them. : 3. Edited /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/webapps/solr/WEB-INF/web.xml as: ... : 3. Created solr.xml in /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost as: did you really do *both* of these? (they are both labeled step #3) ... you should only do one of them (i would recommend the later as it doesn't require mucking with the war file) and since you set the value of "solr/home to two differnet things in each case, i honestly have no idea which one will be used (i don't know what the precendence is in tomcat) if you intend for "/home/datadmin/public_html/apache-solr/example" to be your solr home dir, then it should contain either a "solr.xml" (for multicore setups) like this one... https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/tags/lucene_solr_3_3/solr/example/solr/solr.xml ...which points at your various cores, or it should contain a "conf/" subdir and a "conf/solrconfig.xml" file like this one... https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/tags/lucene_solr_3_3/solr/example/solr/conf/solrconfig.xml -Hoss
