Yeah, that link appears to be broken for me too, like the person editing the page wrote the link and never provided the file.
I don't believe there's anything Solr-specific about that file, so I would just google for directions for installing Tomcat on your platform and follow those. I know for Ubuntu, the deb for Tomcat actually goes and sets up init.d scripts for you and performs a few customizations in terms of pathing to make Tomcat fit in with the rest of the system. Perhaps your system has something similar.
