: Caused by: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Error loading class 'solr.extraction.ExtractingRequestHandler' : : With the jetty and the provided example, I have no problem. It all happens when I use tomcat and solr. : : My setup is as follows: : : I downloaded the apache-solr-3.3.0 and unpacked it....I am using : "apache-solr-3.3.0" folder as my solr-home folder. Inside the "dist" : folder I have the apache-solr-3.3.0.war and coppied everything from the : contrib/extraction/lib into dist.
just copying jars into "dist" isn't going to make things magically work for you -- what matters is that your solr instance knows how to find those plugin jars. when you use the example jetty instance, the solrconfig.xml file has <lib> directives with relative paths that indicate where to find them. If you use a differnet "solr home" dir and/or move files arround then those <lib> directives are no longer going to work... https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPlugins#How_to_Load_Plugins https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrConfigXml#lib -Hoss
