Hi,

I'm trying to install Tomcat + Solr on my Ubuntu machine. I was using ubuntu repo:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/web/solr-tomcat5.5
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/tomcat5.5

When i launch tomcat, solr do not work:

sudo service tomcat5.5 start

The webpanel do not find solr, and give me this error:

HTTP Status 404 - /solr/admin

Does anyone have any idea what this may be?

Thank you in advance

I found this link usefully since i couldn't get nothing done from ubuntu repositories:

The Ubuntu-packaged versions of Tomcat and Solr aren't known for working very well. I'd highly recommend going outside the package manager and getting them from the source. This guide should give you everything you need to know: http://justin-hayes.com/2009-04-08/installing-apache-tomcat-6-and-solr-nightly-on-ubuntu-804

I think the link is not working

I was able to apt-get install tomcat6, and followed these directions:
