Answer 1

I suspect you just need a leading slash to indicate that your directory name is absolute rather than relative:

solr.solr.home=/home/huenzhao/search/tomcat6/bin/solr

If that's not it, please post where your solrconfig.xml file lives.

On a Windows machine, update the solr/home property in solr/web.xml along these lines:

<env-entry>
    <env-entry-name>solr/home</env-entry-name>
    <env-entry-value>C:/solr</env-entry-value>
    <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>

I was running into the same problem both on a windows machine at home and on a hosted VPS linux machine. The solution turned out to be I didn't actually have a directory conf in webapps/solr and this not correct path to solrconfig.xml

The path is to be configured in solr.xml which should reside either inside your-tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/

or on the class path.

Answer 4

for solving this you have to add 1. Download the Solr package form the following path http://www.trieuvan.com/apache//lucene/solr/3.1.0/apache-solr-3.1.0.zip

1. Extract it and copy the file 'dist/apache-solr-3.1.0.war' to Tomcat's webapps folder as solr.war

2. Make a folder c:/solr (Which will be our Solr home and all the index will live here) and copy the folder contents of 'examples/solr/' from extracted files to this location

3. Edit the file catalina.bat and apply the following patch (you can also do it manually, just adding a line)
