Yes, I'm sorry, I only afterwards realized that my question inherited the thread from the E-Mail I was reading and using as a template for the answer. Meanwhile I figured out that I overlooked the third place to define solr home for Tomcat (after JAVA_OPTS and JNDI): web.xml in WEB-INF of the given webapp. This overrides the other definitions and created the impression that I couldn't set solr home. But now I get the message "Could not load config file /srv/solr/solr4.6.1/cores/geo/solrconfig.xml" for the core "geo". In the solr wiki I read (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ConfiguringSolr): "In each core, Solr will look for a conf/solrconfig.xml file" and expected solr to look for /srv/solr/solr4.6.1/cores/geo/conf/solrconfig.xml (which exists), but obviously it doesn't. Why? My misunderstanding? Best Thomas
