Can you please guide me through step-by-step installation of Solr Cell ?

[Sina Fakhraee <dx...@wayne.edu>]

Dear Sir/Mam,

I am trying to use curl "http://localhost:8080/solr/update/extract?literal.id=doc1&commit=true" -F "myfile=@somefile.pdf" from the wiki site... but I get the error cause by: 
Caused by: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Error loading class 'solr.extraction.ExtractingRequestHandler'

With the jetty and the provided example, I have no problem. It all happens when I use tomcat and solr.

My setup is as follows: 

I downloaded the apache-solr-3.3.0 and unpacked it....I am using "apache-solr-3.3.0" folder as my solr-home folder. Inside the "dist" folder I have the apache-solr-3.3.0.war and coppied everything from the contrib/extraction/lib into dist. 

I would greatly appreciate it if you can possibly point me to the right direction. I have read everything on the wiki page and the documentation but no luck!

Can you please guide me through step-by-step usgae of Solr Cell installation?

regards,
Sina

just copying jars into "dist" isn't going to make things magically work 
for you -- what matters is that your solr instance knows how to find those 
plugin jars.  when you use the example jetty instance, the solrconfig.xml 
file has <lib> directives with relative paths that indicate where to find 
them.  If you use a differnet "solr home" dir and/or move files arround 
then those <lib> directives are no longer going to work...
