As far a i understood you need to make sure that your solr home is set. this needs to be done in Quting: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat In addition to using the default behavior of relying on the Solr Home being in the current working directory (./solr) you can alternately add the solr.solr.home system property to your JVM settings before starting Tomcat... export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsolr.solr.home=/my/custom/solr/home/dir/" ...or use a Context file to configure the Solr Home using JNDI A Tomcat context fragments can be used to configure the JNDI property needed to specify your Solr Home directory. Just put a context fragment file under $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/ localhost that looks something like this... $ cat /tomcat55/conf/Catalina/localhost/solr.xml <Context docBase="/some/path/solr.war" debug="0" crossContext="true" > <Environment name="solr/home" type="java.lang.String" value="/my/ solr/home" override="true" /> </Context> Greetings, Olivier PS: May be it would be great if we could provide an ubuntu dpkg with 1.3 ?
