As Hassan points out, your app will be contacting Solr directly, so there's no reason to hook Tomcat up to your web server (unless you are putting Solr on a separate box and for some reason that other box also has a web server that you have to go through). Just set up any HTTP connector on localhost. By default, you'll get the BIO ("blocking I/O") connector which is good enough to get up and running. If you don't expect to get very many requests to Solr from the local(ish) Drupal (because you'll only be expecting a certain number of concurrent Drupal requests, and not all of them will require a Solr request), then that will be just fine. If you want to be able to scale-up to many connections a little better, consider switching to the NIO ("non-blocking I/O") or the APR connectors, both of which can handle more connections with fewer resources (particularly if you are using HTTP Keep-Alive). > I have searched the list archives as well, but I think my search > was too broad or otherwise used the wrong terminology so I > apologize if this question has been answered multiple times > already.

If that happens, come back here and let us know what's going on, and we can give you some better advice. > I have successfully installed Tomcat 7.0.25 on my dev machine, > which is a Mac, and I am using Apache 2.2.14.

It doesn't make a difference at all, though everyone has their own preferences for production environments. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk80LGIACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCvLwCgv/Epqs+lKnopPtsLU4duHlBZ gfsAn2WiLemQd8QAq7LdWnyutILfLv9C =6fr1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
