[jira] Commented: (SOLR-337) Solr home wrong or missing generates
class not found exception
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-337?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12539880 ]
sysdba commented on SOLR-337:
-----------------------------
I have been trying to figure out the missing class problem for days until I came across your comment that the error message is not valid with respect to the real problem. I wanted to run Solr within Netbeans 6.0 and nothing I tried worked until I focused on the correct pointer to the Tomcat 6.0 Catalina/localhost solrconfig.xml file. From reading about Solr with a Google search, I discovered that it was necessary to add an Environment line in the Catalina/localhost/solr.xml file to point to solrconfig.xml. Here's the gotcha: the config file containing solrconfig.xml must reside in a directory with the name "conf", and even more surprising, the pointer in the solr.xml Environment points to the directory "conf" is in, rather than to "conf" itself. Apparently Solr automatically expects to find a "conf" directory in the directory being pointed to. See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat#head-7036378fa48b79c0797cc8230a8aa0965412fb2e. Incidentally I changed all the backslashes to forward slashes in file references, althought this isn't supposed to matter.

> If a user types in a bad location for solr/home in JNDI or doesn't have one set, it causes a stack trace that has no obvious relationship with the cause (No Class Defined). It would be nice if the user got an error message instead about what the problem is. Given the number of non-Java users, this could be especially confusing to them.
