Installing Tomcat6 and Apache Solr
Installation procedure
While there are several ways to install Tomcat 6 and Apache Solr, we will use the repository version to gain the benefit of automatic updates.
What is needed:
Tomcat6 as Servlet container
sudo apt-get install tomcat6
sudo apt-get install tomcat6-admin
Apache Solr Search Server
sudo apt-get install solr-tomcat
Once everything has been correctly installed, you should see the message, “It works!” at http://localhost:8080 and “Welcome to Solr!” at http://localhost:8080/solr/
Configuring Tomcat 6
In the default Tomcat installation, no privileges are created for the Tomcat Manager, so in order to make use of the Tomcat Manager GUI, we still have to create the proper role and a corresponding user.
