Sorry -- a nightly build from about a month ago. Re. your other message, I was sure the two machines had the same version on, but maybe not -- when I'm back in the office tomorrow I'll upgrade them both to a fresh nightly. hossman wrote: > > > : Tomcat is installed in /opt/apache-tomcat , solr is in > : /opt/apache-tomcat/webapps/solr , and my Solr home directory is > /opt/solr . > > if "solr is in /opt/apache-tomcat/webapps/solr" means that you put the > solr.war in /opt/apache-tomcat/webapps/ and tomcat expanded it into > /opt/apache-tomcat/webapps/solr then that is your problem -- tomcat isn't > even looking at your context file (it only looks at the context files to > ersolve URLs that it cant resolve looking in the webapps directory) > > Yes, it's auto-expanded from a war in webapps.

Is it okay to keep the war file *inside* the Solr home directory (/opt/solr in my case) so it's all self-contained?
